In Metaphor: ReFantazio, many quests are easy to complete due to clear instructions on where to go and what to do. However, some quests like Find Maria are not as straightforward since they require critical thinking and exploration. This story quest tasks you with finding Maria, one of the game's characters.
The quest begins when Fabienne tells the party that Maria is lost, and they need to find her. The challenge is that the game provides no quest markers to lead you to Maria. To locate her, you must gather information from NPCs in Grand Trad. This guide will walk you through each step to make the process easier.
Where Is Maria in Gran Trad?
After starting the Find Maria quest, you can find Maria in Regalith Grand Cathedral. After several conversations with your party members about the upcoming Tournament for the Throne, Fabienne interrupts to inform you that Maria has gone missing. Unfortunately, there are no direct hints about her location, but you can get clues about her whereabouts from different NPCs in Grand Trad.

+ 2As soon as you accept the quest, you will find yourself outside the Hushed Honeybee Inn. After stepping outside the inn, you will notice a man dressed in grey clothing standing nearby. This Curt Man will provide the first clue that he saw Maria near the stairs north of Sunshade Row, near the General Store. Following it will take you to Comfort Concoctions, a shop on Sunshade Row's northern edge.
Speak with Activist Woman
Once you arrive at Comfort Concoctions, you will encounter an Activist Woman standing outside. Talk to her, and she will mention seeing Maria heading towards the Regalith Grand Cathedral. This conversation will create a quest marker to help you head in the right direction. Follow the stairs behind the Activist Woman, and they will lead you toward the Cathedral.
Find Maria at Regalith Grand Cathedral
After following the clue from Sunshade Row, your next destination is the Regalith Grand Cathedral, located near the Recruitment Center and Market Square in Gran Trad. This large, central building features a three-headed statue of the King’s candidate, where you can often hear announcements from the Town Crier.
Talking to the Cathedral Guard

Approach him, and a short cutscene will automatically play. The guard will inform you that a small girl who matches Maria’s description entered the cathedral earlier.
This will trigger a dialogue sequence. After the cutscene, Maria will return to the Hushed Honeybee, and the quest will be completed. Remember that this quest can only be completed on 6/22, the day Maria goes missing, and the game will not progress until she is found.
