There are 11 small side quests that you must solve in order to fully solve this side case. To get these letters, after waking up in Devil’s Reef Hotel for the first time, you must go down the stairs and speak with the hotel owner.

This side case has 11 letters and each one will point you to a different location where you must go and scope out the area in order to find a letter. Some of these locations are pretty safe and you will not encounter any enemies but some areas will have Wylebeasts so you will need to go there well-prepared.

Lone Child
