Where to Find Arliss
After giving the coins to all three beggars, you will get the return gifts. Take them and go back to Arliss. He will move around the city depending on the time of day. Here’s where you can find them:
- During the day, he is near the flophouse or inside the church.
- At night, he is inside the Titan’s Inn or on the street behind the Inn.

If Arliss scolds you even after giving the coins to the beggars, it is not your fault. It is a simple bug that can happen sometimes. You just need to provide Arliss with the items that you received from the beggars. After that, the “Distribute the Handouts” quest will be completed. Completing the quest will reward you with 400 Experience Points and 3 gutted fish.
