Proof Of Innocence Octopath 2 Quest Walkthrough

Navigating the various side stories in Octopath Traveler 2 allows players to delve deeper into the rich world of Solistia while earning valuable rewards. Among the early multi-part quest chains is Proof of Innocence, a side quest centered on a legal dispute taking place in the Leaflands region. Completing this objective requires utilizing key Path Actions to present vital testimony before the court.

Starting the Proof of Innocence Quest

To initiate this side story, players must travel to the town of Timberrain located in the Leaflands. Once there, head toward the entrance of the courthouse and speak with the court guard named Meylan. Ensure that you approach Meylan during daytime hours, as speaking to him at night triggers a separate side quest instead.

Upon speaking with Meylan, he explains that a man named Bianco has been falsely accused of theft and faces an upcoming trial. Meylan believes in Bianco's innocence but lacks the necessary testimony to save him. This conversation officially starts the Proof of Innocence questline.

Locating the Key Witness in Timberrain

After receiving the quest, leave the immediate court plaza and head a short distance to the left. On the central bridge in Timberrain, you will encounter an NPC identified as the Sickly Woman. She holds crucial information that can verify Bianco's whereabouts during the crime.

To recruit her, you must use a recruitment Path Action. Players can choose Temenos to Guide her, Agnea to Allure her, Partitio to Hire her, or Ochette to Befriend her. Any of these party members will successfully allow the Sickly Woman to follow your group.

Delivering Testimony and Claiming Rewards

Once the witness is in your party, escort her directly back to Meylan outside the courthouse during the day. Interacting with the guard allows the Sickly Woman to step forward and provide her testimony to the judges. Her statement clears Bianco of all charges, successfully resolving the legal case.

Upon completing the quest, players are rewarded with 11,000 Leaves, a Nourishing Nut (L), and an Olive of Life (M). Finishing this storyline also grants access to subsequent quests within the court narrative chain.
