The Merchant Ludo Details and Unlock Condition
| Chapter | Kindlers of the Flame - Chapter 4 | Location | Woodlands Region, Wishvale |
|---|---|
| Rec. Level | 28 |
| Quest Description | |
| With the construction of the tavern and fields, the town can now produce more than enough food for its residents. The next goal is to find a skilled merchant who can peddle any excess provisions and foodstuffs. | |
Reach Town Level 4
You must first complete To Enrich the Town in Wishvale to get the Town Level to 4. This involves completing objectives in Wishvale such as building town structures and having 25 residents total, and finishing the Rekindling the Flame Pt. 3 side quest.
With Town Level 4, you unlock the Opening Trade Routes objectives in Wishvale. After doing the first step of clearing rubble, you can start The Merchant Ludo by speaking to Margot near the town entrance.

Quest Objectives
| 1 |  Speak to Margot in Wishvale After reaching Town Level 4 and clearing some rubble, speak to Margot near Wishvale's entrance to begin Chapter 3, The Merchant Ludo. |
|---|---|
| 2 |  Search for skilled merchants in Sunshade. Travel to Sunshade in the Sunlands Region. You can reach it by going east from Clearbrook in the Riverlands Region, or west from Shepherds Rock in the Highlands Region. Once there, speak to the merchants on your right just as you enter the town. |
| 3 |  Search for the merhcant Ludo. Head to the northwest section of the town to get information on Ludo's whereabouts. He is on an eastern trade route fighting lizardmen, so you must go there to help him. |
| 4 |  Defeat the lizardmen infesting the trade route. Go outside the town and head east towards the Eastern Sunshade Sands zone. Locate the Finesand Ruins cave in the north of the area. |
| 5 |  Inside the ruins, the main fight begins as soon as you step on the stairs near the save point, located on the northern side of the area, so make sure you are fully prepared before heading up. The dungeon also contains the Elite Enemy: Menacing Desert Worm in the center. |
| 6 |  You must first defeat three Desert Lizardking I's. They all have a high Speed stat and will likely turn first before your slower party members. |
| 7 |  After defeating the Lizardkings, you face the Lizardmen Leader, accompanied by two different Desert Lizardkings. The leader has high Speed and will act early on the turn order, so plan your moves carefully. Bring Herbs of Healing or negative status-nulling Skills to counter the Lizardmen Leader’s poison attacks. |
| 8 |  Speak to Stia in Wishvale. Once the enemies are defeated, Ludo joins Wishvale as a resident and becomes an available companion. Afterward, return to Wishvale and speak to Stia to conclude the quest. |

Lizardmen Leader Weaknesses and Boss Guide
Buff Your Own Speed and Debuff the Leader's Speed
The Lizardmen Leader has a high Speed stat and often acts right after your fastest party members. Use Battle Skills that boost your party’s Speed and apply Speed debuffs to the enemies so you can act earlier in each turn.
Bring Herbs of Healing to Cure Poison
The Lizardmen Leader frequently inflicts Poison, so stock up on Herbs of Healing from Apothecary shops before the fight. This keeps your party healthy, not having to heal constantly due to poison damage.
