To unlock the Encounter The Widower's Concerns, go to Finesteed Hamlet in Sundara Land. Head slightly northeast from the Finesteed Hamlet Boundary Stone to find Old Man Tao's house. There, you need to trigger the Encounter by walking past Old Man Tao standing at the entrance to his courtyard.
The Encounter may not trigger the first time you walk into Old Man Tao's courtyard. You may try walking into the courtyard then exiting it to finally trigger the Encounter.
| Step | Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1 | ![]() Talk to Old Man Tao, who will tell you that he has been tormented by the noise of a “Da Chong”. |
| 2 | ![]() Follow the quest marker to the Da Chong, which turns out to be a cricket. Show the cricket to Old Man Tao in his house. After asking you vague questions about the cricket, light the fire basin beside him. |
| 3 | ![]() Old Man Tao will tell you that he has also been tormented by ghostly voices in his sleep. Stay with him until midnight by changing the time. Hearing noise outside, you will learn that the voices have been coming from Old Man Tao's hens. |
| 4 | ![]() Old Man Tao will believe the hens' crowing to be a bad omen. He will tell you to set up a trap to capture his potential assassin. Head down the path leading away from Old Man Tao's house, then lay the trap at the foot of a tree. |
| 5 | ![]() Return to the courtyard of Old Man Tao's house, then set the time to two days later. Check on the trap to see that it has captured an innocent man, Li Sanlang. Talk to him to release him and learn that he is a friend of Old Man Tao's son from Kaifeng. |
| 6 | ![]() Li Sanlang will give you the son's letter. Go back to Old Man Tao and give it to him. He will confess that he has been lonely ever since his wife died and his son left for Kaifeng. |
| 7 | ![]() Set the time to the next day then talk to Old Man Tao, who will inform you that he will be moving to Kaifeng to be with his son. This will end the quest. |
