Below are the side quests in Baldo The Guardian Owls!
A New Broom
Speak with Maria in Maneko’s house to learn that she needs a new broom. You can find this broom in a chest in the basement of Odessa’s Herbalist Shop. Head downstairs to Odessa’s living quarters then push aside the box to find the stairs leading down to the basement.
When you have the broom, hand it over to Maria to complete the side quest.
Calo Cabbage Patch Job
Speak with Zirra during the farmer and the old shovel quest to obtain this side quest. She’ll want you to replace the missing Calo Cabbages in the holes under water. After you obtain the shovel return to the water fields. Look along the raised fields by the water field to find 2 Calo Cabbages that can be dug up. One is to the right of Zirra and the other is to the left with a boy struggling to harvest it.
Use your shovel to dig up the Calo Cabbages then walk them to the holes in the water next to Zirra. Once you place both in each of the holes, the quest will complete! Make sure to speak with Zirra again to receive an additional heart for your life energy!
Crossbow of Light
Speak with Zinga at Moiro’s Carnival in Sinaro Meadow. If you give her all 4 Crossbow of Light runes, she will entrust you with the Crossbow of Light. Click here for a guide on the locations of these runes!
Crossing the River
Speak with the cat standing on its hind legs at a broken bridge in Naneko Village who will want you to cross the river to see what’s on the other side. Head in a straight line northwest from the bridge to find a wooden box next to a small tree.
Push it in a line back to where the cat was to fix the bridge.
Afterwards, speak with the cat again to complete the quest and receive a Black potion, half bottle.
Frozen Door
Speak with the woman in front of her frozen house in the far north of Pansa Hills to learn that her door has been frozen shut. Swing around her fence to find ice cubes blocking the way. Use your fire on all the braziers in this area to melt the ice and complete the quest. (This was previously bugged for me, but was fixed with an update!)
Gaziri Swamp
Speak with Maria in Maneko’s house to receive this quest. To reach Maneko’s house, start at Solino Valley fast travel point near Ursula’s Mill. Head west up the stairs and follow the path through a map transition. Hug the right wall to travel to Maneko the Witch. Follow along the river and cross the bridge. Continue through the map transition. Again follow the river and go through the map transition. Continue along the riverside path and follow the signs to Maneko’s house.
Maria will need you to go to Gaziri Swamp to acquire ingredients, specifically a red frog foot or swamp lizard tails, for an invisibility potion. You can reach Gaziri Swamp by heading to the southeastern part of Sinaro Meadow. After you pass Moiro’s Carnival, you’ll reach Garudo Rocks. Take the eastern path to come to a cliffside with a staircase leading down. Head on down to spot a traveler in need. Help them with the lizard problem or continue northeast along the water to reach Gaziri Swamp. When you reach the swamp, the quest will complete but you’re not done! In the swamp you’ll see little lizards and frogs going about. They are enemies that do not attack you so they do not show up on the map. Kill them and loot a Red Frog Foot and Swamp Lizard Tail. After you receive these items, return to Maneko’s house and interact with the kettle near Maria to brew a Black potion, half bottle using the Red Frog Foot or a Black potion, full bottle using the Swamp Lizard Tail.

The Kangmi are large white yetis that wander Leone Heights where indicated above. Defeat the enemy then bring the fur to Jafar. Alternatively, if you wanted to skip this quest, you can just buy the Kangmi Coat outright from him!
Lights Out
Speak with the mouse wearing clothes next to a little house and unlit brazier. He’ll tell you that every night Topa makes sure all the braziers are extinguished so they don’t attract the Sand Snakes. You’re going to undo what Topa did and relight all the braziers! There are 10 braziers total. For the locations of each brazier, click here! When all are lit, a giant snake will emerge from a hole near the above mouse. Defeat it by striking its head to stun it then swing mercilessly at its head. Repeat this strategy until it finally dies to spawn a chest containing 50 Dindi.
Missing Chickens
You can obtain the Missing Chickens side quest by speaking with Iaddina at her farm as part of the story. She’ll task you with finding her missing chickens! Before setting out in search of the chickens, make sure to push out the wooden box to the west of Iaddina so you can easily access the barnyard. The chickens can be found at the below locations!
Owl Tower
Head northwest from Iaddina to come to the store. Speak with the boy to the left of the store near the sheep to learn that he spotted a chicken in the area. Afterwards, a brief scene will trigger showing the chicken heading into Owl Tower. Make your way there and head inside. To get out of the tower, you’ll need to push the 2 stone owls onto the golden squares on the floor. Next, head to the decorated tile on the floor in front of one of the eyes and tell Yuna to wait. Head to the other decorated tile on the floor in front of the other eye and stand there to trigger a cutscene. Once it’s done, head to the guardian symbol in the middle of the floor and play the Guardian’s Horn, revealing a ladder. Climb up it! Again, play the Guardian’s Horn on the guardian symbol when prompted by the owl to reveal a door. Exit the tower then head back to Iaddina’s house. The chicken can be found next to the bridge just across from where Iadinna is staying. Pick it up and put it in the chicken coup to the right of Iadinna in the barnyard.
Conci’s house
This chicken is in a bit of a pickle. It has nestled itself on top of Conci’s house! Conci is the shield vendor near the Abandoned Mine. To reach this chicken, you’ll first need to go to Conci’s house and push the box and the box stack against Conci’s house.
Next, you’ll want to go all the way up to grandpa’s house. Once in front of grandpa’s house, follow the fence on the left south to come to a tree. Slip between the tree and the cliff side and follow the tiny ledge around to reach the chicken.
Grab the chicken then carefully drop down from the roof onto the boxes alongside the house. Carry the chicken all the way back to the chicken coup. The other chicken will have most undoubtedly left the coup so retrieve it from outside the barnyard near the bridge across from Iadinna and place it back in the coup. With both chickens in place, the quest will complete. Speak with Iadinna to receive 10 Dindi.
Moiro’s Carnival
You’ll meet Moiro on your way to Rodia Town as part of the story. He’ll want you to attend his carnival at night. The carnival can be found in southern Sinaro Meadow. When you arrive, the quest will complete. Click here for a guide on the rewards you’ll receive from doing the challenges!

If you’d like to head inside, you’ll need to battle the floating eyes to reach a chest containing the Crossbow of Light Rune. Be careful as these eyes do a lot of damage and explode when killed. The best way to defeat them was to wait for it to turn around, run up behind it, swipe at it with your sword a few times then dodge back to avoid the blast.
