Palia, a relaxing farming and life sim game, has a surprising number of mysteries nestled into Kilima Village and Bahari Bay. There are plenty of puzzles to solve, some of which you can find on your own and some of which will be revealed in a more direct manner.
One such mystery is the Plumehound Pilgrimage quest, which gives you the chance to team up with Hassian to try and figure out the answer regarding Tau’s recent nighttime disappearances. Having been trained to stay put at night, it’s a mystery where Tau has been running off to.
