While playing through Final Fantasy 16's main story, Clive will gain access to a variety of unique side quests, some of which, when completed, reward him with valuable items. Most of the game's side quests task Clive with helping NPCs with their problems, but the A Bone to Pick side quests sees the protagonist tending to the needs of his loyal wolf companion, Torgal.
Players will gain access to Final Fantasy 16's A Bone to Pick side quest during the Out of the Shadow main quest after they have completed all three Letting Off Steam sub-objectives. Once the side quest has been initiated, Clive must set off to find Torgal something nice to eat.
How To Start A Bone To Pick In Final Fantasy 16
Upon completing all three Letting Off Steam sub-objectives, the A Bone to Pick side quest can be started by returning to Clive's Chambers in The Hideaway and interacting with the Reading Table. Selecting the "A Bad Feeling..." option will open a letter from Charon, in which she asks Clive to visit her at her shop to discuss Torgal.
Accepting the quest, Clive must leave his chambers and interact with Charon, who can be seen just right of The Black Hammer's entrance. According to her, Torgal has been acting strange as of late. Thinking that his sudden shift in behavior may have something to do with the wolf's newly awakened powers, she recommends Clive speaks to Harpocrates.
Continuing east to The Shelves and interacting with Harpocrates, the wise bookworm will theorize that, since Torgal recently embraced his inner Frost Wolf abilities, he may require a new form of sustenance. When the conversation ends, Clive will set off to find an Elder Antelope, as he believes one large enough would be more than enough to sate Torgal's newfound appetite.
Where To Find Elder Antelopes
The quickest way for Clive to find these Elder Antelopes is to fast-travel to Eastpool and head south across the bridge. Turning right, he can hug the edge of the map on his left until he reaches Cressida, a circular area full of Elder Antelopes.
Upon crossing the bridge into this area, five Level 33 Elder Antelopes will attack, each of which drops an Elder Antelope Femur when defeated. Once Clive has vanquished them all, 5 Elder Antelope Femurs and 20 Bloody Hides will be added to his inventory. In the cutscene that follows, he offers an Elder Antelope Femur to Torgal, who happily barks at the thought of eating it.

To complete the A Bone to Pick side quest, Clive must fast-travel back to The Hideaway and speak to Charon once more. After a brief conversation, Clive will give her the five Elder Antelope Femurs he acquired so that she can give them to Torgal later. Next, he must return to The Shelves and speak to Harpocrates, who will inform Clive that he believes Torgal is the recipient of more than just one Eikon's powers.
When the quest ends, Clive will receive 50 Sharp Fangs and Cavall's Fang, an accessory that increases Torgal's attack power potency.
Final Fantasy 16 is available exclusively for PlayStation 5.
