Follow our guide to complete the 'Plaything' side quest in Final Fantasy XVI. Find Chloe, learn about the Crystals Curse, and claim your rewards.
To start the "Plaything" side quest in Final Fantasy XVI, you'll first need to progress through the main story until you reach the Hideaway. This usually takes about 3 hours from the start of the game, or an extra hour if you're continuing from the demo. Keep playing until you reach the Main Quest called "The Dame." At this point, find Lisette standing outside Moore in the Royal Meadows area. Speak with her to begin the quest.
Your first task is to find Chloe, who is Lisette's pet. Follow the path downwards and talk to the Fastidious Farmwife. She'll tell you she last saw Chloe near the windmill. Head towards the windmill, which is located to the southwest. Before you go, it's a good idea to explore the surrounding area for any chests – they often contain useful items like Accessories and Crafting Materials.
Once you reach the windmill, interact with the dog. It will then lead you towards someone who appears to be sleeping. Inspect this person, and Lisette will arrive. You'll discover that her pet, Chloe, was unfortunately a bearer who succumbed to the Crystals Curse. Clive will then explain the situation to Lisette, bringing the quest to a close. You'll be rewarded with 30 Magicked Ash, a handy crafting material.
