Quest Objectives

# Holding On Objectives
1
Make for Eastpool
Travel north of Martha's Rest until you reach Eastpool. There will be monsters on the way, but you can ignore them and head your way.

If you think you're lacking on level, you can kill everyone you encounter on the way. It should be enough to give you at least one level!
2
Do Beast Against Beast Side Quest (Optional)
You will encounter a Side Quest on the way to East Pool. Consider doing it as it's already along the way, and you will get tons of EXP for finishing it.

3
You will see Hanna, Lord Commander Rodney's wife, once you reach Eastpool. She will tend to your needs and even give you Elwin's, Clive's father, old equipment. These are Invictus (Weapon), Metian Cross (Belt), and Metian Bonds (Vambraces).

They may be a pass on items, but they are still better than your current weapon and gear, assuming you haven't upgraded them!
4
Make for Phoenix Gate
Go north of Eastpool and make for Phoenix Gate. However, you will be stopped by an old man once you reach Eastpool's wooden gate.
5
Fulfill the mayor's request (Subquest)
It seems like the old man is the mayor of Eastpool and a fellow Rosalithian. Complete his request first before going to Phoenix Gate.
