Subquest 4 - Patient in the Desert
Location: Dalmasca Estersand - South Bank Village
Available: After completing Dalmasca's Desert Bloom Hunt (available after Parade in Chapter 1.2)
What it is about: talk to Dantro after completing the Dalmasca's Desert Bloom hunt to be sent gathering items to help a patient in South Bank Village recovering
How to get this thing started
After the Parade (Chapter 1.2), the Dalmasca's Desert Bloom hunt become available on the Sandsea Bar Noticeboard. Once you've completed it, go back to Dantro, the hunt's petitioner, in the Outpost with the Cactus Flower. After reporting your victory to him, address him once again and he'll ask you to take the Cactus Flower to his wife in South Bank Village. Do so to effectively kickstart this "Patient in the Desert" sidequest as, once you've offered the Cactus Flower to Dantro's wife, she will ask you to find a series of items that should help cure her patient back to full health
Note that this quest can only be completed after obtaining the Dawn Shard as it requires you go look for some of them in areas only open after that event
What items to get and how to get them
Once the quest's effectively started, you will essentially get what items Dantro's Wife asks you and bring them back to her. She'll ask for each type of item in turn. You only ever need to bring one of each item for her to ask you for the next one and thus to complete this quest, but some can actually be found in multiple quantities. How many you bring back to her will have an impact on the identity of the patient, and therefore the nature of your reward. You can refer to the list below for which items you need and in which quantities.
Note also that there's one item, the Great Serpentskin, which she won't ask you for but you'll need if you want to get the ultimate patient out (along with the highest reward): if you present yourself to Dantro's wife while carrying it with you, she will automatically ask you if you would give it to her
| Item (quantity) | How to get |
| Cactus Flower | You receive it automatically after defeating the Flowering Cactoid (Dalmasca's Desert Bloom Mob Hunt). You'll get 1x Bundle of Needles as immediate reward for giving it to Dantro's wife then |
| Semclam Shell (5) | You'll find them on the floor of both the South Bank Village (2) and Banks of the Nebra (3). Walk along the edge of both area where your feet are in water: you'll spot shinning spots and coming close enough, you'll be prompted to pick them up |
| Nebralim (2) | They can be found back at the Outpost. There are two phialls standing on crates: one of the crate is by the house were travellers are currently resting, the other is one among a huge pile of crates near Dantro's spot |
| Great Serpentskin | - |
| Valblossom Dew (3) | - |
And your reward is....
