Rooted in Place Quest Guide in Palia

Welcome to this comprehensive guide for the “Rooted in Place” quest in Palia! This is the fourth and final quest of the prologue, following the completion of “Up in the Air,” “Into the Fire,” and “Troubled Water” quests. In this guide, we’ll walk you through every step needed to complete this quest, from entering the Temple of the Roots to placing gardener hubs across multiple locations. Let’s get started!

Entering the Temple of the Roots

Begin by making your way to Bajari Bay and head inside the Temple of the Roots, which is located within the ancient ruins. Once you arrive at the entrance, your first objective is to speak with Sibira, who will be waiting for you at the temple.

After speaking with Sibira, your quest will update. Now you need to equip your pick and destroy the door in front of you. Once the door is destroyed, collect the flow stone that appears.

Using the Flow Stone

When facing the center from the entrance, use the flow stone on your right side. This will teleport you to the Gardener. Speak with the Gardener at this location to receive the Gardener’s Hub item and trigger a quest update.

Returning to Bajari Bay

Check in with Sibira again before heading back to Bajari Bay. Use the flow stone once more to return to the temple entrance, then make your way out of the ruins and back to Bajari Bay.

Placing the First Gardener’s Hub at Pulse Water Plains

Use the fast travel tables to reach Pulse Water Plains. The quest markers will guide you to the exact placement location, so you won’t get lost. Look for a purple and yellow flag marking the spot.

Place the Gardener’s Hub at this location and interact with it to speak with the Gardener again. Your quest will update with the next objective.

Traveling to Windy Ruins

After placing the first hub, you’ll need to head to Windy Ruins. Use fast travel again to reach this location quickly.

Once you arrive at Windy Ruins, enter the ruins and use the flow stone to teleport to the next area. You’ll then use your glider to navigate an upwind current.

Navigating the Islands at Windy Ruins

After using your glider on the upwind current, you’ll find yourself on a platform with four islands. Your goal is to reach the small island on the left. Use the center upwind while facing the last island, but turn left to reach the correct destination.

As you approach the small island, you’ll see the marked location for placing the Gardener’s Hub. Place it here and speak with the Gardener once more.

Placing the Gardener’s Hub at Kilma Village

After the quest updates, head back to Kilma Village to place the third Gardener’s Hub. The placement location is next to the City Hall, marked with a flag for easy identification.

Place the Gardener’s Hub at this location and interact with it to speak with the Gardener. The quest will update once more with your final objective.

Final Steps: Returning to the Temple of the Roots

Make your way back to the Temple of the Roots in Bajari Bay. Once inside the ruins, equip your pick again and destroy the door as you did at the beginning.

Use the flow stone on the right side to teleport back to the Gardener’s location. Speak with the Gardener to progress through the final conversation.

Completing the Quest

After speaking with the Gardener, head back and speak with Sibira to complete the final conversation. Once this is done, the “Rooted in Place” quest will be completed!
