"I've not heard any word from Donovan of late. He has always been regular in his correspondence. Until now..." —Bale


Back with Bale is a side story in Octopath Traveler. The tale begins by speaking with Bale inside the westernmost building right by the entrance to Western Wellspring Sands in Wellspring.

Bale Wellspring Location

Bale, Wellspring

Resolution[]

Inquire / Scrutinize[]

Travel to Goldshore Cathedral in Goldshore. Successfully use the Inquire or Scrutinize path action to glean the knowledge Donovan's Condition from Bishop Donovan (  Min Lvl: 30 /  Base Rate: 60% ) standing in the nave of the church.
The tale ends once Donovan's Condition is shared with Bale.
"Bale learned how his friend Donovan was faring and vowed to one day set out on a journey of his own."

Trivia[]

  • Bishop Donovan appears only after Ophilia's Chapter 4 story has been completed.
  • Bale initially appears after finishing Olberic's Chapter 3 story, where the information for a Hidden Item (Heavy Coin Pouch) can be gleaned from him (Bale will temporarily disappear if Olberic's Chapter 4 is completed but Ophilia's Chapter 4 has not). Once both Olberic's and Ophilia's Chapter 4 story are complete, the side story is unlocked, and the Hidden Item information may no longer be gleaned from Bale.
