Tracks in the Snow (Level 82)

Follow our walkthrough for Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker's 'Tracks in the Snow' quest. Learn how to find footprints, avoid the girl in green, and complete the mission.

Alright, let's get this quest, 'Tracks in the Snow,' done! It's Level 82 and part of the main story in Garlemald. You'll start by picking it up from Emmanellain, who's hanging out near Camp Broken Glass at **(X: 14.4 Y: 30.2 Z: 0.4)**. Just head over there and chat with him.

First up, you need to Speak with Emmanellain. He'll be at **(X: 18.2 Y: 28.8 Z: 0.3)**, probably doing some stargazing or something. After a quick cutscene, he'll send you off to do some searching.

Your next task is to Search for footprints in the snow. Head east from Emmanellain's spot, and you'll find the first set of tracks at **(X: 20.8 Y: 28.7 Z: 0.1)**. Keep your eyes peeled!

Then, you'll need to Search for more footprints in the Snow. These are just a little further east, at **(X: 22.2 Y: 28.7 Z: 0.0)**. Easy peasy so far, right?

After that, it's time to Speak with Alisaie. She's waiting for you slightly east, at **(X: 22.7 Y: 29.1 Z: 0.0)**. Go have a chat.

Next, you'll need to Survey the designated location. This is at **(X: 23.8 Y: 29.2 Z: 0.0)**. Just interact with the spot.

Now for the tricky part: Approach the girl in green. This is where things can get a little frustrating, so listen up! This NPC moves along a set path, and she'll periodically turn around to check if she's being followed. Your job is to keep up without being spotted. You'll need to use the environment for cover – think ice pillars, rocks, and trees. The key is to avoid getting too close when she's walking, but also don't fall too far behind when she's running or sprinting. It's a balancing act!

• Step 1: Start by hiding behind the ice pillars.
• Step 2: Use the trees to break her line of sight.
• Step 3: Find cover behind the rocks.
• Step 4: Use another tree for cover, but watch out for any enemies that might pop up in the area!
• Step 5: Stay in the shadow of the trees. If you get any closer, she'll definitely spot you.
• Step 6: Once you're in the clear, run or sprint to catch up with her and reach the end of the quest's blue-green circle marker.

Finally, Speak with the girl in green. This will trigger a cutscene and wrap up the quest.

As a reward for your troubles, you'll get 462,000 EXP and 1071 Gil. The next quest in line is 'How the Mighty Are Fallen,' which is also Level 82.
