To complete A Chain of Kindness, speak to Sandy in Huther, collect Prickly Pear Flesh from a cactus in Eddartrayl, then return to Huther so the balm can be made for Sandy.
A Chain of Kindness is a small, easy-to-miss side quest in The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales that turns on a single errand. A young girl named Sandy has scraped her knee, an old herbalist knows the cure, and you’re the one who fetches the ingredient. It’s short, but it’s worth doing on time, since skipping it can stall a later quest.
A Chain of Kindness in brief
| Quest detail | Answer |
|---|---|
| Quest starter | Sandy in Huther |
| Where it begins | Above the orphanage by the well (huther’s right side by a tree) |
| Unlock timing | After clearing Mist Ruins, with the objective “Head to the doorway ruins” (Age of Safekeeping) — not fully confirmed |
| Required item | Prickly Pear Flesh |
| Item location | A cactus in Eddartrayl |
| Turn-in | Back in Huther (the balm is made for Sandy) |
| Reward | 300T; Scallop’s Charm |
The reliable route is simple: you meet Sandy in Huther, the old man explains he needs Prickly Pear Flesh to make a balm, you head out to gather it from the cacti in Eddartrayl, and then you bring it back so the balm can be applied. Everything past that route — exactly where Sandy stands, when she shows up, and what you get for the trouble — is where guides start to disagree, so treat the table below as a quick map and read the hedges that follow.
Where to find Sandy in Huther
The most specific accounts point you to Huther after you’ve cleared the Mist Ruins in the Age of Safekeeping, around the time your main objective reads “Head to the doorway ruins.” Look for Sandy a little above the orphanage, near the well — she’s the crying orphan girl who’s just taken a fall.
Don’t waste time checking shops or fighting enemies for the item — Prickly Pear Flesh comes from the cacti in Eddartrayl, and that’s the only confirmed place to get it.

What the quest rewards
The payout is the one piece players most want pinned down, and it’s also the least certain. The more specific quest walkthrough lists a flat 300T for finishing, which lines up with the straightforward fetch-and-return route the quest actually plays out as. A separate account instead claims the reward is the accessory Scallop’s Charm — so treat that as unconfirmed rather than a guarantee.
Mistakes to avoid and what it unlocks
The most common slip is hunting for Sandy too early. The quest only seems to surface after the Mist Ruins are cleared and the objective points you toward the doorway ruins, so if she isn’t in Huther yet, push the main story forward a little and come back. The second trap is looking in the wrong place for the item — players sometimes comb through shops or enemy drops, when the only verified source for Prickly Pear Flesh is the cacti out in Eddartrayl.
One more note for context: a broader summary describes this as a chain of favors across several NPCs, but the way it actually plays out is the simpler Prickly Pear Flesh run described above — one ingredient, one return trip.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Sandy for A Chain of Kindness?
She’s in Huther, reportedly a bit above the orphanage near the well. One account instead places her on the right side of town by a tree, so check that area too if she isn’t where you expect.
Where do you find Prickly Pear Flesh?
Inside one of the cacti in Eddartrayl. Search the cacti there — but avoid the dangerous ones the game warns you to stay clear of.
When does A Chain of Kindness become available?
The strongest specific claim is that it opens up after you clear the Mist Ruins in the Age of Safekeeping, while your objective reads “Head to the doorway ruins.” The exact milestone isn’t fully confirmed, so progress the story if Sandy hasn’t appeared yet.
What is the reward for A Chain of Kindness?
Most likely 300T, based on the more specific walkthrough. A separate account claims the accessory Scallop’s Charm instead, so the reward isn’t fully settled.
Is A Chain of Kindness required for another quest?
Yes — Irreplaceable Treasures reportedly can’t progress until A Chain of Kindness is finished, so it’s worth completing rather than skipping.
