Niccolo's Business Unusual is a quest in Legend of Mana.

Premise[edit]

While exploring Domina, the protagonist encounters Niccolo, the traveling merchant, who asks for help crossing Luon Highway, as it is crawling with bandits. He promises the warrior to make him rich once he gets to his destination, to which the hero acquieses. The leporine salesman advises his partner that he needs to stop by Teapo's house before venturing outside town, so the duo head to her dwelling. They find the antropomorphic teapot at Mark's House and the cunning merchant wastes no time trying to sell the gullible vessel an old wooden wheel for 50,000 lucre. Appalled by the price, Teapo refuses the offer which prompts Niccolo to lend the artifact to the protagonist while she forks the appropriate amount. The duo then exit the premises. After the wheel artifact transforms into their next destination, Niccolo and the hero stumble into Duelle while on the highway, who dispense his battle knowledge to the uninitiatied. After crossing the land, the merchant and his mercenary finally arrive at Laurent Tableland, where they are ambushed by two Chobin Hoods. One of the ruffians orders them to give them money, to which the protagonist can reply by giving them candy instead. The latter option angers the bandits to the point of calling their master as punishment. Once Hegs Ant is defeated, the traveling merchant congratulates the hero by giving them three items and two artifacts for his trouble.

Solution[edit]

Place the Colorblocks AF in the space directly above your Home to create Domina. Enter Domina you will see a little conversation at the top of the screen… ignore it for now and leave this first area through the top path.

In the next area you will see a crazy looking Rabbit/Cat character named Niccolo. Talk to him, tell him you are Not Afraid of the bandits, and tell him Yes when he asks you to help him. You have now started your first event!

Niccolo asks you to take him to see Teapo. Go back to the center of town near the entrance to Domina and enter the bottom-most door of the building in the lower left. Teapo is the one that looks like a “tea pot”. Talk to him and Niccolo will give you the Wheel AF.

After the conversation, exit the building and exit the area through the bottom path. Exit out to the World Map and place the Wheel AF directly to the left of your Home to create Luon Highway. Enter Luon Highway.

Proceed through Luon Highway with the following directions:

  • Right
  • Right
  • Upper Right at Fork
  • Right
  • Right

When prompted choose Throw Candy and get ready to begin your first Boss fight. After you win you will get some useless items from Niccolo and then he should give you the Flame and Medallion AF’s.
