Complete Russell's Repentance in Octopath Traveler

AntMag.NET

Alright, let's tackle Russell's Repentance! This is a side story that pops up after you've finished Cyrus's Fourth Chapter. You'll need to head to Stonegard to find Russell, who's actually working with Dominic there. They're deep into researching the land's history but are missing some key info about the Woodlands, Frostlands, and Cliftlands. To get this done, you'll need either Cyrus or Alfyn in your party because we'll be using their Inquire or Scrutinize abilities on a few NPCs.

Walkthrough

1
Head to Stonegard: First things first, make your way to Stonegard. Russell is hanging out in one of the small houses on the eastern side of the town's first area.
2
Gather Cliftlands Info: Your first stop for information is Bolderfall. Head north of the inn to a small square. Look for an older gentleman wearing green – he's the 'Cliftlands Know-it-all'. Use Inquire or Scrutinize on him to get the History of the Cliftlands.
3
Gather Frostlands Info: Next, travel to Stillsnow. Find the chapel in the northern part of town, and you'll see an NPC standing right in front of it. Get the History of the Frostlands from him.
4
Gather Woodlands Info: Finally, make your way to Duskbarrow. In the center of the village, you'll find an NPC clad in armor. Use Inquire or Scrutinize to obtain the History of the Woodlands.
5
Return to Russell: Once you have all three historical documents, head back to Russell in Stonegard. Hand them over, and you'll wrap up this side story.

Tips

Make sure you have Cyrus or Alfyn in your active party before heading out to gather the information.
The NPCs are generally found in prominent locations within their respective towns, so keep an eye out around key landmarks like inns and chapels.

Upon completion, you'll receive 9,000 Leaves and the Confessional Armor.
