The Covetous Witch Details and Unlock Condition

Chapter Master of Wealth - Chapter 1
Location Woodlands Region, Valore

The Covetous Witch quest begins in Valore in the Woodlands Region, south of Wishvale. The quest officially starts after speaking to the Fierce-Looking Man in the first area you enter.

The Covetous Witch Walkthrough

Quest Objectives

1
Gather information about Hermina.
Head to Valore, located south of Wishvale, which is also in the Woodlands Region. Once there, speak to the Fierce-Looking Man standing in the center of town to start the quest.
2
Head west to the Volare: Main Boulevard area and meet Bargello in the central plaza. The dialogue choices you pick in the cutscene do not matter, as the story will progress without any differences.
3
At the end of the cutscene, you will battle a group of Blackrobes, who are fairly easy to defeat. Afterward, join Bargello’s plan to infiltrate one of Hermina’s parties.
4
Head to Hermina's Manse.
Head south of the plaza to an alternate path towards Hermina's mansion. Before heading there, we recommend taking the time to recruit Celsus at the tavern to the west of the plaza, and gather Helpers around town.
5
The path to Hermina’s estate has hostile Monsters and several Treasure Chests with useful resources. Fighting the Monsters is recommended, as the extra EXP will help in the upcoming boss fight.
6
Inside Hermina’s mansion, the party sequence is entirely dialogue. After the cutscenes, you will return outside with your party and Bargello.
7
Confront the man who killed the slaves.
Once outside, you must help Bargello confront the man, triggering the boss fight. Before engaging, make sure your party's HP and SP are topped up, and you have a few Healing Grapes on hand.

You do not have to confront him immediately, so feel free to go back to Valore or leave town to stock up on items or recruit more allies. Being at least Lvl. 10 with more than three party members is recommended for a smoother boss fight.
8
Defeat Captain Tristan.
Captain Tristan is a tough early boss, with him and his minions dealing heavy damage. Try to deal with the Mercenaries first before focusing Captain Tristan.

9
Go to Taivani's hideout.
After defeating the boss, return to Valore to regroup with Bargello and his gang. Following the cutscene, the next chapter, A Flower Blooms, is immediately available when you speak to Bargello again in town.

Captain Tristan is encountered during the "Confront the man who killed the slaves" objective, outside of Herminia’s Manse. He and his Mercenary minions deal heavy damage and have high HP, so we recommend facing him at Level 10 while having more than three party members total.

Captain Tristan Weaknesses and Boss Guide

Focus on the Two Mercenaries First

Attacking the Mercenaries

Defeat the two Mercenaries before focusing on Captain Tristan. Taking them out first reduces the number of incoming attacks, making HP management easier.

Quickly Interrupt the "Takes Aim" Boost Mode by Breaking Him

Captain Tristan Shield Break

When Captain Tristan takes aim, interrupt the charge by breaking his shield. If you fail to interrupt it, he will unleash a powerful attack that can tear your party apart. Use Boost Attacks or other multiple-hit skills with weapon types he is weak to, such as Repeated Shot and Double Throw, to break his shield quickly.

The Covetous Witch Treasure and Chest Locations

Treasure locations that can be found in the quest's areas are currently being added. Check back soon!
