Let’s be honest—who doesn’t love a good treasure hunt? Especially when it involves digging around in virtual dirt for shiny things. If you’ve been tilling soil in Palia like some kind of digital farmer (which, let’s face it, is oddly therapeutic), you might have stumbled across Florian’s Note and wondered what the heck this mysterious previous homeowner was up to.
Well, buckle up, treasure hunters, because we’re about to dive into one of Palia’s more entertaining discovery quests that’ll have you tracking down the “hairiest fellow” in town and following animal tracks like you’re some kind of woodland detective.
The “Even More Treasure?” quest is a Discovery Quest that kicks off when you find Florian’s Note while tilling soil on your housing plot. Because apparently, the guy who lived there before you thought it was totally normal to bury treasure and leave cryptic notes about it. Thanks for the heads up, Florian—real considerate of you to mention this after someone else moved in.
The quest description reads: “The previous inhabitant of your housing plot seems to have buried treasure in Elderwood. He told a hairy fellow its location. Who is the hairiest fellow in the village?” And honestly, if you can’t immediately figure out who the hairiest person in a small village is, you might need to pay more attention to your neighbors.
Here’s where things get interesting (and slightly ridiculous). You need to ask around the village to find this mysterious “hairy fellow.” Now, you could waste time talking to everyone and their grandmother, or you could use some common sense here.
The quest specifically mentions you can ask Zeki, Ashura, and Tau about the treasure. But here’s the kicker—only Tau actually knows anything useful. Why? Because Tau is literally a bear-person covered in fur. If that doesn’t scream “hairiest fellow,” I don’t know what does.
Pro tip: Skip the small talk with other villagers and head straight to Tau. He’s usually hanging around the village, and trust me, you’ll know him when you see him. Hard to miss a walking, talking bear who’s apparently excellent at keeping secrets about buried treasure.
Once Tau spills the beans (because apparently he’s been sitting on this information for who knows how long), you’ll need to meet up with Hassian in the Elderwood. Because obviously, you can’t just go treasure hunting by yourself—this is a team effort now.
You’ll find Hassian standing near the Elderwood-Bahari gateway, specifically in the I-3 area. He’s probably standing there looking all serious and mysterious, as Hassian tends to do. The guy takes his treasure hunting very seriously, which is both admirable and slightly concerning.
This is where the quest gets properly adventure-y. Tau has apparently wandered off ahead of you (typical), leaving behind tracks for you to follow. Because nothing says “professional treasure hunting expedition” like following paw prints through the woods.
The tracking part is pretty straightforward—just follow the markers that lead you through the Elderwood. Eventually, you’ll come across a small rummage pile that looks suspiciously like someone buried something there. Shocking, I know.
Here’s where your trusty hoe comes in handy. Use it to dig up the treasure, and voilà—you’ve successfully completed your archaeological expedition.
After all that detective work and woodland wandering, you’re probably wondering if this whole adventure was worth your time. The good news? Florian actually buried some decent stuff:
You’ll also get another handwritten note from Florian, because apparently, this guy was really into leaving messages for future residents. At least he’s consistent with his communication style.
Don’t overthink the “hairy fellow” clue: It’s Tau. It’s always been Tau. The game isn’t trying to trick you with some elaborate riddle here.
Bring your hoe: You’ll need it to dig up the final treasure, so don’t forget to pack it before heading out to Elderwood.
Check your quest log: If you’re having trouble progressing, make sure you’ve actually talked to Tau and gotten the proper quest update before heading to meet Hassian.
Beyond the obvious appeal of free stuff, the “Even More Treasure?” quest adds some nice backstory to your housing plot. It’s a fun little reminder that other people lived in this world before you showed up, and they had their own adventures and secrets.
The quest also does a decent job of getting you to explore different areas and interact with various NPCs, which is always good for building that sense of community that Palia is going for.
Plus, let’s be real—who doesn’t enjoy a good treasure hunt? Even if it’s just following obvious animal tracks to dig up some rocks, there’s something satisfying about completing the whole adventure.
So there you have it—your complete guide to uncovering Florian’s hidden treasure in Palia. It’s not the most complex quest in the game, but it’s certainly one of the more entertaining ones. Now get out there and start digging up that virtual treasure like the dedicated digital archaeologist you were meant to be.
