What Rin's Quest Unlocks
Rin's quest unlocks the ability to buy Requiem Arrows from Isabelle the Arrowsmith in Your Bizarre Adventure. It gives you another way to obtain these arrows after the storyline reward, but completing the quest does not make the purchases free. The main obstacles are finding the correct Rin, meeting the inventory requirement, and completing the Steel Ball Run objective.
The quest takes place through Rin at the Steel Ball Run starting area. Rin also handles prestige progression near the Train Station, which makes the NPC's two locations easy to confuse.
| Quest detail | What to know |
|---|---|
| Quest giver | Prestige Master Rin in the SBR starting area |
| Starting requirement | Have zero Requiem Arrows in your inventory |
| Race objective | Complete the SBR finish requested by Rin |
| Unlock | Requiem Arrow purchases from Isabelle |
| Purchase cost | $7,500 and one Mysterious Arrow per Requiem Arrow |
The main storyline provides a separate Requiem Arrow reward through Giorno after defeating Diavolo. That reward matters here because owning a Requiem Arrow can prevent you from accepting Rin's quest. Check your inventory before heading into SBR, especially if you recently finished the story.
Where to Find Rin and Accept the Quest
For this quest, enter Steel Ball Run and look around the tents near the starting area. Speak to Rin there to begin the conversation about the mysterious arrow and the race objective.
The Rin near the Train Station serves a different purpose: increasing your prestige rank. Visiting that location alone does not follow the documented route for accepting the SBR quest.
| NPC and purpose | Location |
|---|---|
| Rin for the SBR quest | Near the tents in the SBR lobby or starting area |
| Rin for prestiging | Near StucksDucks at the Train Station teleport, by a telephone box |
| Isabelle for arrow purchases | Third floor of Merchant's Keep |
You need Prestige 2 to access SBR, according to the game's Prestige wiki page. Requiem Arrow usage unlocks at Prestige 1, but that earlier milestone does not provide access to the race needed for Rin's quest.
Before speaking to the quest giver, follow this checklist:
- Reach Prestige 2 so you can enter Steel Ball Run.
- Check that your inventory contains zero Requiem Arrows.
- Enter SBR and locate Rin near the starting tents.
- Speak to Rin and accept the objective before attempting the race.
The inventory restriction concerns Requiem Arrows. A Mysterious Arrow is a different item and is part of Isabelle's purchase price later. Keep those names separate when checking your items; the quest requirement and the eventual payment refer to different arrows.
How to Complete the Steel Ball Run Objective
The documented quest sequence is straightforward: accept Rin's task, achieve the required SBR result, return to Rin, and then visit Isabelle. The detail that needs extra care is what counts as a qualifying finish.
A July 2022 community walkthrough describes first, second, or third place as qualifying and says both Casual and Competitive count. Those placement and mode rules have not been officially confirmed for the current version. Treat them as historical community guidance and check the objective Rin gives you in-game.
Follow the quest in this order:
- Accept the task from Rin. Start with the conversation at the SBR tents while meeting the zero-Requiem-Arrow requirement.
- Complete the requested race objective. Use Rin's active instructions when deciding which result you need.
- Speak to Rin again afterward. The documented walkthrough includes a return conversation after the qualifying finish.
- Follow the referral to Isabelle. Rin directs you to the arrowsmith, where the purchase option becomes relevant.
Do not skip the conversation after the race and assume the result alone completes every step. Returning to Rin is part of the recorded handoff to Isabelle.
If you finish a race but do not receive the referral, review the sequence before attempting another run. Check whether you accepted the quest beforehand and whether your result matches the objective. These are useful checks for a missed step, although they do not establish the cause of every possible quest problem.
Buying Requiem Arrows From Isabelle
After the return conversation with Rin, go to Merchant's Keep and find Isabelle the Arrowsmith on the third floor. Her documented price is $7,500 plus one Mysterious Arrow for each Requiem Arrow.
This is a purchase unlock. You still need to bring the money and item required for the exchange, even after completing the race and speaking to Rin.
| Purchase requirement | Amount or condition |
|---|---|
| Money | $7,500 per Requiem Arrow |
| Item payment | One Mysterious Arrow per Requiem Arrow |
| Quest progress | Complete Rin's quest and follow the referral to Isabelle |
For budgeting, two purchases require a total of $15,000 and two Mysterious Arrows. That is simply twice the listed price, so plan around both resources rather than checking your cash alone.
The $7,500 arrow price is separate from the $10,000 fee for prestiging. They pay for different actions at different NPC interactions: one buys an item from Isabelle, while the other advances your prestige rank through Rin.
If Isabelle does not offer the expected purchase, check whether you completed the return conversation with Rin and whether you have prestiged since unlocking the service. Prestiging removes the ability to buy Requiem Arrows through this quest, so an earlier completion does not necessarily mean the unlock is still available.
How Prestiging Affects Rin's Quest
Prestiging resets ongoing quests and removes the Requiem Arrow purchase ability earned through Rin's SBR quest. It also resets experience, Skill Points, and storyline progress. This makes the timing of the unlock relevant if you are still progressing toward Prestige 3.
The prestige progression listed on the wiki is:
| Current prestige | Level cap | Requirement for the next prestige |
|---|---|---|
| Prestige 0 | 35 | Reach level 35 and pay $10,000 |
| Prestige 1 | 40 | Reach level 40 and pay $10,000 |
| Prestige 2 | 45 | Reach level 45 and pay $10,000 |
| Prestige 3 | 50 | Highest listed prestige rank |
You can access SBR at Prestige 2, so that is the first listed prestige rank at which you can pursue this quest. However, advancing from Prestige 2 to Prestige 3 afterward removes the purchase unlock.
If you are close to making that transition, completing the quest after reaching Prestige 3 avoids losing the unlock to that planned prestige. This is a planning choice, not an additional quest requirement.
Keep these reset rules in mind:
- Quest progress resets. Current and ongoing quests are lost when you prestige.
- The purchase unlock resets. Completing Rin's quest before prestiging does not preserve access to Isabelle's Requiem Arrow service.
- Owned items remain. Requiem Arrows and other inventory items survive the reset.
- Your Stand remains. Prestiging preserves your current Stand, including Requiem and other evolved forms.
That combination can create a confusing situation: you may keep a Requiem Arrow while losing the purchase unlock. The retained arrow still matters when checking the zero-arrow requirement for accepting Rin's quest again.
FAQ: your bizarre adventure rin quest
Why won't Rin give me the quest?
First, check that you are speaking to Rin near the SBR starting tents. Then check your inventory for Requiem Arrows. The documented acceptance requirement is zero Requiem Arrows, and the Rin near the Train Station handles prestiging.
Do I have to finish first in SBR?
The July 2022 community walkthrough reports that first, second, and third place qualify in either Casual or Competitive. That rule has not been officially confirmed for the current version, so check Rin's active instructions rather than assuming every listed placement still works.
Does Rin give me a free Requiem Arrow?
The documented reward is access to Requiem Arrow purchases from Isabelle. Each purchase costs $7,500 and one Mysterious Arrow. The arrow awarded through Giorno after defeating Diavolo belongs to the separate storyline reward route.
Where do I go after completing the race?
Return to Rin and speak again before heading to Isabelle. Rin's follow-up conversation directs you to the arrowsmith. Isabelle is on the third floor of Merchant's Keep, where you can make the exchange once the quest unlock is available.
Will prestiging remove arrows I already bought?
No. Prestiging preserves inventory items, including Requiem Arrows, while removing the purchase ability unlocked through Rin's quest. You keep the arrows themselves, but you must regain the quest unlock before using that purchase route again.
