The Midnight Candy Thief begins in Utara Village through Panutah. This quest starts the On Nom staff questline and leads into Candy Thief's Footprints, so it is an important mission if you want to unlock another useful Bancho Grill employee. The mission begins with a mystery around the village offerings. Your job is to place Candy at the correct spot and wait for the thief to appear.

Where To Place The Candy

In the village, go to the place marked for offerings and talk to the right spot. Set the trap by putting the candy there. Let the scene go on after you put the candy down.Do not leave the area too quickly, because the quest depends on the event that happens after the Candy is placed. Staying near the offering spot helps the mission move smoothly into the next objective.
