Upon reaching the "Righting Wrongs" main story mission, Final Fantasy 16 players will gain access to Alliant Reports. Activated by speaking with the Lank-locked Bearer at the Fat Chocobo diner in Cid's hideaway, these special reports provide players with a list of all of the currently available side quests, which, at this time, includes one called "Dying on the Vine."
"Dying on the Vine" is a relatively simple side quest that takes place in the Lostwing area of Sanbreque. It involves players helping out one of Quinten's workers who's been having a spot of bother out in the vineyards. To complete the quest, Clive and his friends will need to do a spot of pest control, after which, they'll receive a fairly decent reward for their efforts.
How to Complete Dying on the Vine in Final Fantasy 16
Final Fantasy 16 players will be able to trigger the "Dying on the Vine" side quest by speaking with Emile, who can be found down in the wine cellars of one of Lostwing's many buildings. He'll explain that a bunch of angry wasps have been eating all of his grapes and that he'll be in a lot of trouble with Quinten if he can't find a way to save the crop. Naturally, he'll ask Clive to get the job done for him.
If players agree. their first objective will be to exterminate the pests that are infesting Gaultand's bales. They can walk over there from the cellar if they like, but thanks to the game's lightning-fast load times, it's much quicker to just fast travel to the Orabelle Downs Obelisk. Once there, they'll find the aforementioned Vintner Wasps buzzing around and should exterminate them however they see fit. As is often the case with insects, fire can be incredibly effective, so players should utilize Ifrit or Phoenix's Eikonic Abilities if needed.
Once they're done with the wasps, players can fast travel back to the Lostwing Obelisk and then return to the wine cellar to speak with Emile. Needless to say, he's delighted that Clive was around to save his bacon and offers up a fairly decent reward as a way of saying thanks. Players will get 16 XP, ten Sharp Fangs, and one Black Blood, the latter of which can be sold to any merchant for 400 Gil.
Final Fantasy 16 is available now exclusively for the PlayStation 5.
