Ashlan the Beastmaster (III)

Follow this guide to complete the Ashlan the Beastmaster III side story in Octopath Traveler. Find Ashlan's father in the Moldering Ruins and claim your rewards!

Alright, ready to wrap up Ashlan's search for his dad? This one's called Ashlan the Beastmaster (III), and you'll need to have finished the previous quest, Ashlan the Beastmaster (II), before you can even start. Ashlan's gotten a lead that his father might be in some ruins near Duskbarrow, so he needs your help to escort him.

First things first, you'll find Ashlan hanging out in the northwest corner of Duskbarrow village. To get him to join you, you'll need either Primrose or Ophilia in your active party. Once you have one of them, you'll need to use their unique 'Allure' (Primrose) or 'Guide' (Ophilia) ability on Ashlan. This gets him to follow you.

With Ashlan in tow, you'll need to head out of Duskbarrow. Look for a place called the Moldering Ruins. It's located to the east of the save point on the East Duskbarrow Trail, not too far from the village itself. Just head right from that save point, and you'll find the entrance.

Make your way through the Moldering Ruins. The goal is to reach the very end of the dungeon. In the final room, you'll find Ashlan's father. All you need to do is talk to him while Ashlan is with you, and bam! Quest complete.

Pro Tip: This quest sends you to the Moldering Ruins, and so does the 'Looting Grave Robber' side story. If you haven't done that one yet, it's a great idea to tackle them both back-to-back to save yourself a trip!
