Quest stages of The River Children
1. Travel to a fishing hut to look into rumors
Go to a place where fishermen live and talk to a woman who is hiding in one of the huts. She is convinced that they were attacked by a demon. Her father who went looking for the monster didn't come back so you'll decide to look for him.
A woman says she heard screams and splashing in the river, and believes a kappa took her father from the riverbank. She spoke of the kappa with such certainty, maybe she's speaking the truth. Demon or not, I'll find out what happened to the man.
2. Investigate the docks
Examine tracks on the platform. You can also examine half-eaten fish but it's optional.
3. Investigate the riverbank
Go to the other side of the river and find the footprints on the riverbank.
4. Track the kappa / Examine the remains
Follow the tracks along the river bank to the north. At some point you should see a corpse lying on the riverbank. Examine it. It's Shino's father.
5. Investigate the riverbank / Track the kappa
A few steps further on, you'll find more tracks. This time leading westwards to a nearby grove. When you get there, it will all become clear. It wasn't a demon but a group of bandits who attacked Shino and her father.
6. Defeat the bandits / Search the bandits
Killing five bandits shouldn't be a big challenge for you. When you do that, search their corpses and find a flute that belonged to Shino's father.
7. Speak with Shino
Go back to Shino and tell her the sad news about her father. You will also hand her the flute you found and then this tale will be over.
