How to Complete Hide, Hideaway in FF16’s Main Quest

The Hideaway is one of the key locations in Final Fantasy XVI and where you will be picking up side quests once you’ve settled into the game. When you first get to the area, Cid will explain that you can meet him in his room to talk more about the mission. You will be allowed to explore as you please before going to meet him, there are even a few NPCs that you can speak with. Once you are done checking things out, head upstairs through the tavern into Cid’s room. It’s here that you will be informed that a "Dominant" iconDominant of Fire may have been located in the village of "Lostwing" iconLostwing.

After some back and forth, Cid will send Clive down to prepare for the mission, and you will quickly see "Goetz" iconGoetz, the fellow who carried Jill to The Hideaway. Speak with him and he will give you some booze to bribe the blacksmith "Blackthorne" iconBlackthorne with. All you need to do is head into Blackthorne’s shop directly in front of you and speak with him. He will give you the option to get a better belt and equip it. Once this is done, a cutscene will play where they bring in an injured brand, speak with Oliver, and then go up the stairs beside you to retrieve the healer "Tarja" iconTarja. She will come down and check on the new arrivals.

How To Get Supplies For Clive

After this is complete, you simply need to go over to the other stall that’s run by "Charon" iconCharon. At first, she will give Clive a hard time about buying items, but "Torgal" iconTorgal soon warms her heart and you get a new sword along with some supplies. You have to go over to an obelisk to pick up the supplies, and this will activate the Training Grounds. You will have to try it out briefly, but anytime you want to exit just press the Touchpad DualSense-Touchpad and choose to end your training.

You will now speak with Cid again, and be able to open the world map, when you’re ready for the next mission, Fanning Embers, choose to go to The Greatwood.
