Location Recommended Level
Part 1 New Delsta Level 8
Part 2 Montwise Level 45

In the Part 1 of The Scholar and Merchant Crossed Paths tale, Osvald and Partitio bump into one of Osvald's old acquaintances, Regulus. He is in financial trouble and acquires the services of Partitio to help him complete a project.

In Part 2, Osvald and Partitio visit Montwise to check on Regulus' invention. They find him in distress having lost the invention, so they help him retrieve it. Take note that you need to complete Osvald and Partitio's individual stories to unlock Part 2 of their Crossed Paths tale. There have been reports of having to require finishing Ochette's route as well, but based on our testing, her path didn't need to be completed!
