Take Back the Sea Side Quest Walkthrough
How to Start Take Back the Sea
To begin the Take Back the Sea side quest, travel to Lurelin Village, located in the southeastern region of Necluda, just south of East Necluda. Once you arrive, look for Sebasto, who can often be found wandering through the village.
Speak with him to learn about a group of monsters that have taken over Aris Beach, a spot where the villagers once fished regularly. Concerned for the safety of the fishermen, Sebasto will ask if you can deal with the threat. Choose the “Consider it done” dialogue option to start the quest.
Completing Take Back the Sea
Defeat the Monsters at Aris Beach
To complete the Take Back the Sea quest, head southwest from Lurelin Village toward Aris Beach. The easiest route is to follow the Clarnet Coast until you reach the shoreline.
Once you arrive, you’ll notice two enemy structures standing in the water. Your objective is to defeat all enemies occupying these platforms, as well as those stationed in the nearby watchtowers.
If you’re playing on Master Mode, bombs can be a game-changer. Use them to knock enemies into the water, where they will be instantly defeated, saving you time and effort.
Report Back to Sebasto
After clearing the area of all enemies, return to Sebasto in Lurelin Village. He will thank you for your help by rewarding you with 100 rupees, officially completing the quest.
