Welcome to NGB and our complete guide for Baten Kaitos Pherkad the Ancient Capital. Here we’ll cover the story section that takes place in the capital of Pherkad, the shops and the favors you can pick up.
Baten Kaitos Pherkad Story
Once you reach the city, a cutscene will trigger. During the cutscene, Kalas will explain his bond with the guardian spirit (you!). When prompted choose “Of course”. After the cutscene ends, follow the street north two areas to reach the mansion. Speak with the guards out front who will tell Kala to get lost. This will trigger another cutscene. When it concludes, speak with the lady wearing a green dress and ask about the kid, Palolo. She’ll tell mention one house that hasn’t been broken into yet and suggest camping out there to catch him.
Head back to the main area of Pherkad and enter the house across the street from the tavern (across from the person standing by the apple cart). Once inside, a cutscene will trigger where Kalas will speak with the great Palolo III. When he asks why you want to enter the mansion choose “To get vengeance for my grandfather and brother”. Kalas likes that answer and will spaz a bit if you choose the other one. Regardless of what choice you make, Palolo will request a Rainbow Spider’s Web in exchange for the information. To find one, travel to the Nunki Valley and make your way to the middle area where you blew up the rocks earlier in the story. The spider you are looking for can be found on the left side of the stream. There will be a path along the trees that you can use to reach a stone ladder. Climb down this ladder to find the spider called Nunkirantula!
When battling this creature, note that it’s weak to wind and resistant to light and water. Also, this creature likes to guard often so you’ll be doing half damage unless you’re using something that its weak to. Once the spider is defeated, it will drop the Rainbow Spider’s Web. Bring this item back to Palolo III in Pherkad.
After he takes the items off your hands, he’ll tell you that the entrance to the mansion can be found behind him in the well. If you haven’t done so recently, now would be a good time to head to the church (via blue flower) to level and heal up. Also, if needed head to the shop north of the blue flower to rest your weary wings. When you’re ready, return to the hideout and speak with Palolo III to hop down the well to enter The Lord’s Mansion!

Baten Kaitos Pherkad Favors
Bring a Bluebird to the Girl with a Bracelet
At Pherkad in the area with the blue flower, head to the south side of the area to find a little girl sitting on some railing. Speak with her and she’ll mention wanting a cute little Bluebird of Happiness. You can find one in Moonguile Forest by assisting the Man wearing a Bracelet there near the stone arches. You can read more about how to do that here! Once you have one, bring it back to the girl and give it to her. You’ll need to do this in order to fill out Quzman’s Family Tree.
I originally had the Bluebird on me before speaking to the girl, but it wouldn’t let me give it to her. I think you either need to get the Bluebird after speaking with her or agree to help Quzman before you can hand it over.
Complete Quzman’s Family Tree
Once in Pherkad, head to the alley between the main part of town and the mansion. Next, go through the hole in the wall on the right to reach Quzman’s residence. Speak with the old man sitting on the bed to learn that his time is coming. He’ll then have a little episode ending the conversation. Try to leave the house and he’ll call you back. Speak with him once more and he’ll ask Kalas to go out and find his family members so that he can die with them at his side. You’ll then receive the Family Tree and Quzman will sign it. When you regain control of Kalas, speak with his 5th wife who can be found nearby. Only 29 more names to go! For a guide on where to find the rest of Quzman’s family, click here!
