The Eight Locales Over Mountains and Seas is an event that runs from Feb. 4, 2022 to Feb. 14, 2022. It takes you back to Chinju Forest, where the sealed bake-danuki Ioroi asks you to take the young Kichiboushi out on an adventure. Players Adventure Rank 30 and above who have completed the following quests are eligible to participate:

  • Ritou Escape Plan (part of the Archon Quest Chapter II: Act I—The Immovable God and the Eternal Euthymia)Tanuki-Bayashi in the Forest (part of the Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual World Quest)

Soliloquy of Distant Island Peaks

After completing the events in Snowswept Fairytale, you can take Kichiboushi to the Guyun Stone Forest. Prompt the quest to start by selecting the Soliloquy of Distant Island Peaks from the event menu.

Start by heading to the Guyun Stone Forest through the Domain of Guyun Waypoint. Kichiboushi is interested in the Geo Crystalflies, so give him one Crystal Core. After, walk to the edge of the cliff and take a picture of the bake-danuki.

Once that’s done, head to the Alcor. If you haven’t unlocked its Teleport Waypoint, you can head there by climbing up the mountain in Guyun and then gliding down.

Upon reaching the Alcor, you’ll be prompted to climb to the top of the mast, which is the giant post holding the flag-like sails of the ship. There are three in total—make sure to climb the tallest one.

To do so, climb the wide post and rest on the horizontal rails whenever your Stamina is running low. Once that’s done, a dialogue with Kichiboushi will prompt, hinting that your next adventure will be all about food.
