Talk to Barles

To activate the quest, talk to Barles by the piles of garbage. She expresses her duty of leaving a place cleaner than it was in her travels, and needs your help getting rid of the tumbleweeds in the area.

Get Rid of the Tumbleweeds

You can remove the tumbleweeds in many different ways. What matters is that the weeds are out of the garbage area. You can use a weapon to destroy them one by one, or use the Zonai Devices nearby to burn or blow them away.

Use Tulin to Blow the Weeds Away

One efficient way to blow away the weeds is using the Vow of Tulin if you have it, as it blows away a lot of tumbleweeds all at once and at a far distance.

Use Yunobo to Burn the Weeds


Another efficient way to get rid of the weeds is using the Vow of Yunobo to burn the tumbleweeds. They burn really slowly, but Yunobo's attack covers a lot of ground and removes a large pile of weeds right away.

Quest Complete!

The quest will automatically complete as soon as all the tumbleweeds are out of the garbage area.
