- "The black market is where you need to go for rare artifacts and other mysterious items. I won't deny that I'm curious to see what such a secretive marketplace is like, as well." —Tavern Patron in Wellspring
Black Market is a location found in the Sunlands in Octopath Traveler and the dungeon of Therion's third chapter. Here, Therion chases down the bandits who stole the emerald dragonstone. He ends up taking on Gareth, one of Darius' lackeys, but Darius escapes with the dragonstone.
Depending on a choice the player makes, the Black Market may or may not become the crime scene where the previous holder of the emerald dragonstone is killed.
Description[]
Black Market is a desert cavern that combines a dry, dusty atmosphere with cascades of sparkling golden sand. Crates, boxes, sacks, pots, carpets, and lanterns fill the front of the cave, where masked customers may peruse illicit wares in privacy.

Trivia[]
- If, during Therion's Chapter 3, the player attempts to take the upper path through the Black Market beyond the bandits' event battle, they will stopped with the thought bubble, "(I'll never catch up if I go the same way he did. I need to find a shortcut...)."
