Follow this Ballad of Antara guide to help Farmer Mattai Brunia, get his farm back, and uncover a hidden gold mine. Includes tips for the Senaedrin Sisters and Wedding Rings quests.

Alright, let's dive into the first big chunk of quests in Ballad of Antara, starting with Farmer Mattai Brunia. This whole chain kicks off in Chapter 1 and is all about helping a farmer get his land back and then discovering a new gold mine. It's a solid intro to how quests work in this game.

Farmer Mattai Brunia Quest Walkthrough:

1. Step 1: Meet Mattai Brunia

   First things first, head to the Balmestri Inn and chat with Mattai Brunia. He's a wheat farmer who lost his farm in Imazi because he couldn't pay his taxes last season. Lord Garson snatched it up. This is where our quest officially begins.

2. Step 2: Talk to Lord Garson and Locals

   Your next move is to find Lord Garson in Imazi. After that, you'll need to chat with everyone you can find inside the inn at Sortiga. Just get the lay of the land and see what information you can dig up.

3. Step 3: Find the Witch and Get the Handkerchief

   Now, venture out to the sparse forest near Sortiga. It's located just north of the town and south of that impassable forest area. Somewhere in there, you'll need to find a witch. She'll give you a handkerchief – make sure you get it!

4. Step 4: Confront Lord Garson and Return to Mattai

   Head back to Lord Garson and show him the handkerchief you got from the witch. This should get you the Deed to Burnia's Farm. Once you have that, go back to the Balmestri Inn and hand the Deed over to Farmer Burnia.

5. Step 5: Cure the Haunted Fields and Find Gold

   Now, go visit Farmer Burnia at his farm in Imazi. The fields are haunted, so you'll need to fix that. Travel to the temple of Henna, which is in a mountain pass south of Ligano. Get blessed there for 125 gold (make sure you have it!). Return to the farm, pull the Staff of Nightmares out of the ground in the middle of the back field, and head into the mine. You'll need to fight through three groups of three bad guys. After clearing the mine, talk to Farmer Burnia again – he'll reveal he's found a new gold mine!

Other Side Quests in Chapter 1:

• The Senaedrin Sisters: On the road northwest of Imazi, you'll find some Senaedrin Sisters. They need 24 food rations to reach Aspreza on time and save the town from a plague. If you help them, the tinker who repairs your gear will survive. If you don't, he'll die, and you'll lose access to repairing good armor. It's a tough choice, but helping them is usually the better long-term play.
• The Wedding Rings: In Sortiga, there's a wedding in trouble. You need to find the missing wedding rings on the beach southeast of town and return them to the best man. You'll also have to clear the Ligano-Sortiga road of Montari enemies so a priest can get through.

Chapter 2 Quick Notes:

Chapter 2 kicks off with getting Aren to Mage Finch. He's north of Midova City and wants Chailan Tea. You'll have to order it from Paolo Verazza's shop in Midova, but things get complicated when Antino's men steal it because Paolo owes a loan. You'll end up dealing with Antoni Octomont, the money lender, and then heading into the Montari Territory to find Enkudi. You'll use a Divining Rod in the Montari Cave to find water, learn about the Montari's caste system, and eventually get the tea back to Finch. After that, it's a winding path to Ticoro, involving a detour through the mountains because the main road is blocked. You'll help out in Waterfork, deal with Mage Chilbain in Cardone, cure a beast northwest of Cardone, and gather items in Melay before finally entering Ticoro to end the chapter.
