- "I was cheated in a trade and left without a copper to my name. So now I'm fain to throw myself off this cliff!" —
On the Precipice is a side story in Octopath Traveler. The tale begins by speaking to the Struggling Merchant standing by the cliff near the entrance to the Forest of Rubeh in Orewell.
Use the Challenge or Provoke Path Action to defeat the Struggling Merchant.
After a close brush with death, the merchant felt like he had been given a second chance at life and decided to dedicate himself to honest work.
Alternate:
Travel to Atlasdam Palace Gate in Atlasdam. Use the Inquire or Scrutinize Path Action to glean The Jellypeno from Know-it-all Milo, located right of the entrance to the Royal Academy.
The tale ends once The Jellypeno is shared with the Struggling Merchant.
News of the jellypeno brought the merchant hope enough to step away from the cliff, and renewed vigor in his trade.
