Overview

• The quest unlocks after reliving a memory at Atsu’s home and points you west to the Old Stables south of Shikotsu Woods.
• A brief fight against Saito’s men leads into a childhood flashback that concludes with selecting a mount at the stables.
• Base players can pick dappled, black, or white horses, while Digital Deluxe owners also see a brown option.
• All horses perform identically with no hidden stats, and the selected name—Shimaki, Mochizuki, or Homura—is purely cosmetic.
• Completing the choice grants the “Naming a Friend” trophy, with a nearby hot spring boosting max health and a Charm of Bountiful Harvest increasing resource yields.
