Even though Palia is in open beta, it already has a large variety of content, including quests. Some of them are needed to progress through the story, while others will help you get closer to the villagers. However, some of the quests in the game are quite confusing as they don’t tell you exactly what you need to do. One such quest is called ‘Mystery Cargo,’ for which you need to find the Little Key. So, read on to find out how to complete the Mystery Cargo quest in Palia.
How to Start the Mystery Cargo Quest in Palia
(Updated on October 3, 2024 – updated links and format)
Like many Palia quests, Mystery Cargo becomes available to players after certain conditions are met. More specifically, you need to complete the Piece of Cake quest for Reth. After that, talk to Reth again and ask about the strange box next to him.
He will tell you that Zeki forbade him to touch the box and even threatened to deprive the guy of his hand. Since threats like that don’t scare you, you can solve the mystery of the cargo. According to Zeki, he hid the key to the box where no man can survive. It will start the Mystery Cargo quest in Palia.
Where To Find the Small Key in Palia
At first glance, it may seem that Mystery Cargo is a very easy quest. However, in reality, it can keep you busy for several hours or even more. Reth gives almost no clues as to where to find the key to Zeki’s box. As a result, you will check all locations in search of the desired item. But fortunately, there is a way that you can find the Little Key very quickly.
So, to complete the Mystery Cargo quest in Palia, you need to go fishing. It looks like you can do this in several bodies of water, but we recommend you choose the river right behind the tavern. Just cast your line, and you will fish out the Little Key. You may need to make several attempts to do this.
Then return to Reth and open the box. Inside you will find letters from Zeki’s mom. Ask Zeki about them to complete the quest and get Gold as a reward.
