As you explore the scenic yet troubled meadows of Moore, you will encounter various unsavory characters. Among them, a nobleman near a cart will shout out to Clive, requesting a favor. In the Final Fantasy 16 All Bark side quest, we will guide you through this complete quest, beginning with this nobleman’s unexpected request.

Proceed to the nearby area to find a Rabid Wolf attacking a child. Using Clive’s combat abilities and melee prowess, defeat the beast to rescue the Nobleman’s son.

To everyone’s surprise, this quest, initially appearing noble, turns out to be a ruse to eliminate the Brandeds. To seek retribution for the fallen, head back to the Nobleman’s cart to confront him.

How to Address the Nobleman in All Bark

In Vallisthea, fairness is nonexistent, as the Nobleman will hold Clive accountable for the death of his son’s “well-trained pet.” Due to Clive’s Branded status, the Nobleman will demand to know the identity of his master. This moment offers players two responses:

“The wretch would be the Dame.”
“The wretch would be me.”

Regardless of which option you choose, the outcome will be the same, and this decision carries no significant consequences in the game world. Should players reference the Dame, the Nobleman may become irate, but she will face no dire repercussions.

What Happens to the Nobleman and His Son?

As Clive lays to rest the bodies of the fallen Brandeds alongside the enigmatic Raymond, unsettling barking noises echo nearby. Shortly after, a man’s scream and a child’s plea for his father pierce the air. It seems a dog—or perhaps a wolf—was responsible for the carnage. While Raymond denies involvement in the demise of the Nobleman and his son, evidence suggests he may indeed be responsible. That wraps up everything you need to know about the Final Fantasy 16 All Bark quest.
