Answering the Call is the first quest you can complete in Palia’s Elderwood expansion, and it will introduce you to the new region.
To begin the quest, you’ll have to make a fair amount of progress if you’ve just started playing the game. Once you’ve cleared the main story quests (the main vault quests and four additional ones), you’ll gain access to the Elderwood region.
This guide will highlight all the required steps for completing the Answering the Call quest.
How to complete Answering the Call Quest in Palia
Once you unlock Elderwood, there will be a special cutscene, followed by meeting Einar. Einar will tell you that the Cosmos Protocol Lockdown is no longer in place, and you’ll have to meet with Subira. This starts the Answering the Call quest automatically, and you’ll find Subira at the Night Sky Temple.
The temple is pretty easy to locate, and it’s southwest of the Leafhopper Hills. You’ll also find Hekla and Jina with Subira, but she will leave to check the new location. Go to the north of the temple to interact with her once again. Subira will inform you that you’ll have to find seven logbooks around the temple.
The key is to find a password of seven characters. Each logbook includes one of the secret characters, and combining them will form the password.
| Record Name | How to Find | Secret Letter Password |
|---|---|---|
| Record 1 | Right behind where you find Subira in the temple | Q |
| Record 2 | Go west from where Subira is located. Break the wall with your pickaxe, and then turn right to pick up the record | s |
| Record 3 | Break the west wall, and the record will be on the ground near the water pipe | 7 |
| Record 4 | Get on top of the north wall, jump over a small gap, and the item will be lying on the ground | ? |
| Record 5 | Go east on the second floor, and get down to the first one. You can pick it up from the west wall after breaking through it | v |
| Record 6 | Break down the third wall you find west, and pick the record up | % |
| Record 7 | You will find it from the east wall | J |
Once you’ve collected all the clues, climb the north wall underground to come across the hidden room. Subira will tell you about the console, where you’ll need to enter the code. If you have figured it out from the table, the correct code is Qs7?v%J.
You’ll have to enter the code in the exact order. If you miss out on a single character, you’ll have to restart the entire process, which begins by retrieving the record logs from the very beginning.
You’ll have to check each console tab for more information about the chamber. Gather all the clues you can, speak with Subira, and this will mark the end of the Answering the Call quest. This will mark a long line of quests that you can find and complete in the Elderwood region, and the Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow hidden mission is one of many.
