A company community in the middle of the ocean, Roque Island is the property of The Roque Company. If you're playing through the Partitio storyline then it will be no surprise that Roque Island plays a key role in the finale of his chapters.
Roque Island is located in the west of On the Water, and is considered part of the Harborlands. To reach Roque Island you'll need to complete Partitio's Scent of Commerce quest in Tropu'hopu, which will earn you a boat. You can then use said boat to explore On the Water and travel to Roque Island.
Roque Island is split into two areas. We'll explore your landing spot first.

Roque Island: Anchorage is the closest thing Roque Island has to a route. You'll need to trek through this area to reach the town, and your path is pretty straightforward. There are a few things of note along the way:
- There's a Guard by the area's save point during the day, down by the harbor. He's carrying Wheat Bread, Revitalizing Jam, and an Olive of Life. At night he enters the office near the save point.
- North of the harbor the path will split. Going west will take you towards the town, while going east will take you down to a dock. Sailing north of the dock will bring you to a chest containing 22,000 leaves. Continue sailing north, then west, and you'll find a third dock that will grant you access to a chest containing an Enlightening Necklace.
- Once you hit brickwork you'll come across an Employee as you walk north during the day. He's carrying an Old Cloth and Diffusing Serum. He knows of a hidden Enfeebling Flower, on a cliff edge behind the office near the harbor.
- The path splits to the east and west once you come within view of the town. Standing at the split during the day you'll find a Merchant and an Elderly Man. They're carrying a Vivid Jewel, a Healing Grape, an Invigorating Nut (M), a Thick Tome, and an Olive of Life (M). At night you'll find a Factory Worker here who's holding a Hairbrush and Candy, and she'll teach you the art of Masterful Muggings.
- During the day you'll find an Employee along the eastern path leading into the town section of Roque Island. He's carrying a Gold Pocket Watch, a Clarity Stone, and a Handmade Bouquet. He knows of a hidden Herb of Healing back along the path to the harbor.
Roque Island (Town)
The populated section of Roque Island is a fairly straightforward little town, with a few buildings to explore and an Inn, Tavern, Provisioner, and Armorer available. In the north you'll find The Roque Company, the dungeon from Partitio's chapter, and you can reenter it and explore if you like.
Treasure
- There's a chest on a balcony overlooking the Tavern, on the west side of the town. It contains an Herb of Healing.
- Between the Armorer's shop and a set of stairs is a chest containing an Energizin Pomegranate (L).
- In the northwest of the town you'll find a Guard blocking the way into a building. Beat him up or Ambush him and you'll find six chests in the storage room he's guarding. The chests contain an Empowering Lychee (L), three Rejuvenating Jams, a Magic Nut (L), and 39,800 leaves. Nice!
- Check the east side of The Roque Company's grounds, outside the front gate. There's a chest over here containing a Critical Bracelet.
NPCs - Day
- Next to the save point is a Factory Worker. He's holding an Energizing Pomegranate (M), an Energizing Pomegranate (L), and a Wind Soulstone (M).
- West of the save point is a Guard blocking the entrance to a building. He's carrying a Heavy Bone Spear and an Inspiriting Plum (M). He's quite powerful, so you may want to Ambush him to get him out of the way. Inside the building you'll find a lovely cache of treasure chests, noted above.
- South of the Guard, assuming you unlocked music in Taverns, is a Music Merchant. He's carrying 12. Normal Battle I, 13. Normal Battle II, 14. Normal Battle III, and 15. Battle on the Sea, all music tracks.
- West of the Provisioner is a Boy. He's carrying a Healing Grape (M) and Wheat Bread. He knows of a hidden Shadow Soulstone in a nearby cart.
- Inside the Armorer's shop is a Merchant. He's carrying an Aegis Sword, a Platinum Hatchet, and a Knight's Helm. Scrutinize him and he'll tell you of a hidden Empowering Necklace on a statue to the south of the save point.
- Next to the statue in the south of town are an Affluent Man and a Merchant. They're carrying a Silver-Rimmed Monocle, a Heavy Coin Pouch, a Handkerchief, and an Antique Coin.
- Out front of the Tavern is a Tavern Assistant. He's carrying an Herb of Serenity and a Light Coin Pouch. He can provide a Discount at the Inn when scrutinized.
- Make the trek to The Roque Company in the north and you'll find a Guard standing in front of the gate. He's carrying a Doombreaker and a Worker's Helmet.
In addition to all of the above, you can find two other important NPCs in the town if you complete Partitio's storyline. First is Floyd, who's in the Provisioner's shop during the day. Floyd is carrying an Herb of Awakening, a Fire Soulstone (L), and a Diffusing Serum. Second is Thurston, in the south of town, and he'll give you a Side Story. He's carrying a Gold Pocket Watch and Fumbling Powder. Thurston moves outside The Roque Company during the day once you complete the Side Story.
NPCs - Night
- Standing in the middle of town at night is a Factory Worker. He's carrying an Old Cloth, Scrap Iron, and a Contaminated Iron Ingot.
- There are two Factory Workers standing west of the Provisioner's shop at night. They're carrying an Old Cloth, a Slippery Nut, an Inspiriting Plum Basket, and an Ice Soulstone (L). The worker on the left knows of a hidden Scrap Iron outside the Tavern, while the worker on the right knows of a hidden Critical Nut (L) behind the bar in the Tavern.
- There's a Factory Worker idling outside the Provisioner's shop. He's carrying a Bottle of Befuddling Dust, an Ice Soulstone (M), and Candy. He can teach you how to Hire for Cheap when scrutinized.
- Out front of the house next to the Tavern is a Factory Worker. He's carrying an Empowering Lychee (M), Reinforcing Jam, and Candy. Inside the house is a female Factory Worker, and she's carrying a Heavy Book, an Ancient Cog that is a quest item, and a Handmade Bouquet. This second Factory Worker is no pushover, so be ready for a fight if you try to Mug her.
- There a bunch of NPCs inside the Tavern at night. Alongside three men you met during the day you'll find an Employee and a Factory Worker at night. They're holding a Rare Stone, a Nourishing Nut (M), a Platinum Shield, Scrap Iron, a Cog, and a Thunder Soulstone (L). The Employee knows of a hidden Empowering Lychee by the Armorer's shop, while the Factory Worker will set you up with New Equipment for Sale if scrutinized.
- Once you've completed Partitio's storyline you can find Thurston in the south of Roque Island. He'll give you the Floyd and Thurston's Next Chapter Side Story.
