Learn how to beat the sky pirate brothers in a challenging race through Hydropolis. Discover the shortcut to victory in this Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom side quest guide.

Hey there! Ready for a bit of a challenge? We're tackling side quest #084, "Head-to-Head in Hydropolis." You'll find two sky pirate brothers hanging out between the weapon shop and the inn in Hydropolis. They're a bit homesick but don't want to go back until you race them!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll start the race near the weapon shop and inn in Hydropolis. Your goal is the southwest section, where all the water is.
  2. 2
    The race can be tough because the NPC you're racing against is actually faster than Evan. If you just try to keep up, you'll lose.
  3. 3
    Here's the trick: remember that doorway that was guarded when you first visited Hydropolis? It's located just west of the Ankura Harbor trip door.
  4. 4
    Head towards that area. Go up the first set of stairs you see.
  5. 5
    At the top, turn south and look for a spot to drop off the wall on the southern end.
  6. 6
    From there, it's a straightforward drop down to the water.
  7. 7
    Once you land in the water, just run to the other brother who is waiting at the finish line.
Tips
  • This race might take a few tries to get right, especially finding the exact spot to jump. Don't get discouraged!
  • The shortcut is essential. Trying to outrun the kid directly is a losing battle.
