Walkthrough for the ‘Monster in the Night’ Quest in Fire Emblem Fortune’s Weave

At first glance, the “Monster in the Night” side quest in Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave seems wonderfully straightforward: a nocturnal beast is terrorizing the local marketplace, and it falls to you to put an end to the chaos. However, relying blindly on the official quest log will send you on a frustrating goose chase. The in-game clues are misleading, and trusting them will only cost you valuable time.

Below, we break down the exact steps required to successfully track down and complete the “Monster in the Night” quest in Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave.

“Monster in the Night” Quest Walkthrough

Both the client and the description claim that the creature strikes the marketplace under the cover of darkness. In truth, this is only half correct. The beast actually terrorizes the City Streets district, situated northeast of the standard shopping cul-de-sac. Furthermore, waiting until the dead of night is entirely useless—the creature exclusively emerges at dusk.

If you are traveling back to Dagsion, you can attempt to time your arrival so the clock strikes 18:00 precisely as you enter. However, unless you are meticulously tracking your steps on the Dagsion map tile, it is remarkably easy to miscalculate. A much simpler alternative is to queue up auto-activities at a local inn and set the stopping point for 18:00. This nets you bonus experience or gold while completely eliminating the guesswork of wasted turns.

Once dusk settles, make your way to the City Streets sector indicated in the map above to find a formidable Demonic Beast waiting for you. Interacting with it initiates an event clash battle. Despite its imposing appearance, the fight is relatively straightforward since the creature lacks complex gimmicks and possesses only a single health bar. To minimize incoming party damage, lead with high-defense units, and leverage attack links to accelerate your damage output per turn. Ideally, you should pair melee fighters with a magic user, as the Demonic Beast boasts high physical defense but notably low resistance.

Report back to the quest-giver after slaying the beast to collect your well-deserved payout: 1,500 gold and 100 renown. It may not make you a billionaire, but every resource counts in your journey.
