"There's a foul grave robber in these parts causing no end of trouble. If only someone would put him in his place..." —Old Gravekeeper

The Gravekeeper's Grief is a side story in Octopath Traveler. It is activated by speaking to the Old Gravekeeper in the graveyard in East Noblecourt.

Use the Purchase/Steal Path Action to obtain the Codger-Friendly Bow from the Accomplished Graybeard in Noblecourt. Deliver the bow to the Old Gravekeeper to complete the side story.

Bow in hand, the gravekeeper was able to chase away the ruffian who had been disturbing the cemetery.

Alternatively, head out of Noblecourt and use the Challenge/Provoke Path Action to defeat the Awkward Boy, located southwest of the entrance to Noblecourt in Western Noblecourt Flats.

The supposed grave robber only had the purest of intentions. Motives clear, the boy began his rigorous training as the gravekeeper's apprentice.
