One such quest is Payback, which becomes accessible once Clive completes all three Letting Off Steam sub-objectives as part of the Out of the Shadow main quest. Completing the Payback side quest rewards Clive with a unique item, the “Cid’s Goblet” Curiosity, necessary to unlock the For the Hoard trophy.

To embark on the Payback side quest in Final Fantasy 16, Clive must interact with his Reading Table and select the “Off the Record” option. This action triggers the appearance of a letter from Gaute, urgently requesting Clive’s assistance with some ledgers. Accepting the quest, Clive can proceed to The Mess and have a conversation with Gaute in person.

Returning to The Hideaway, Clive heads back to The Mess to inform Gaute of the successful delivery. Upon learning that Charon declined Gaute’s Star Ruby, Clive takes it upon himself to hand it over.

Engaging in conversation with her, Clive faces initial resistance, but with persistence, Charon eventually accepts the Star Ruby. Once the scene concludes, Clive is transported back to The Mess, where Otto commends him for fulfilling the task.
