Part 1
For The Dancer & Warrior Crossed Paths quest in Octopath Traveler II, Agnea and Hikari hear a beautiful instrument in Ryu. Please note the recommended level for this Crossed Paths quest is 8.
Use Hikari’s Path Action to bribe Yomi with 800 leaves for her to play the song. She needs to make preparations so wait a night then return to her. She’ll have wasted all the money we gave her on clothes and needs her lute string repaired before the song can be played. Use Agnea’s Entreat Path Action on the Stubborn Horse Owner just south of Lomi to acquire the Horse Tail Hair. Return to Lomi and hand it over. She’ll want us to return after waiting another night. Do so then jump in your boat and sail south. Follow the path and speak with Lomi at the top of the hill where you’ll finally get to hear her play. Afterwards, the quest will end.
Part 2
For The Dancer & Warrior, Part 2 Crossed Paths quest in Octopath Traveler II, Agnea and Hikari return to Ku where Benkei has an idea. Please note the recommended level for this Crossed Paths quest is 45.
To prepare for the ritual, you’ll need to gather 3 items:
- Dancer’s Mask – Head north to Castle Ku: Entrance. Once there, enter the building on the west side and snag the Dancer’s Mask from the Official.
- Sacred Wood – At night, head to the southeastern part of town and grab the Sacred Wood from the Carpenter.
- Wine Offering – At night, head to the tavern. Once inside, snag the Wine Offering from the Citizen.
Once you have all the items, return to Benkei and hand them over. He’ll then propose that we visit the Tranquil Grotto in search of a lute player. Make for the Tranquil Grotto, which is just east of the Eastern Ku Sands. Once inside, head east a short way to trigger a cutscene. Continue deeper into the area. If you wish to explore, there are a few red chests containing the following items:
- Mysterious Dagger – Follow southeastern path
- 25000 leaves – East just before the lute player
In the deepest part of the area, you’ll find the lute player. Approach them to meet Yomi. After you hear her story, challenge her using Hikari’s Path Action. She is vulnerable to Spear / Bow. Upon defeating her, you’ll have the chance to learn a new skill.
With everything finally ready, the ceremony will begin. Afterwards, the quest will complete!
