Palia: How to access Zeki's black market underground

Palia is a great cozy MMO filled with various NPCs that you can interact with. One of these is Zeki, a businessman and owner of a general store in the Kilima village. Zeki sells a variety of things such as weapons, cooking ingredients, flowers, and more.

However, not many know about the secret underground store that he runs after hours. This underground black market is where he sells items that are more special than the ones in his regular store.

Finding this underground market allows you to buy various items from Zeki and explore hidden entrances underneath the city. Here are the steps you must follow before finding Zeki’s black market in Palia.

How to unlock the entrance to the hidden black market

You need to increase your friendship level with Zeki to receive the task from him. You can do this by completing some relationship quests, which will mostly require you to interact with him or gift him stuff.

Once you get to know Zeki better and reach Level 2 friendship with him, he will give you the task of finding his hidden black market. He won’t tell you its location straight away; instead, he will task you with finding the entrance.

The entrance to the underground black market is the sewer that you can find along the shoreline of Remembrance Beach. Once you locate the sewer, simply approaching and interacting with it will teleport you inside the black market.

If you keep going straight from where you spawn inside the market, you’ll reach Zeki’s store. His store consists of a cash register that you can interact with to buy his special items. Throughout the night, you will be able to interact with Zeki’s store and buy various items, including Lucky Coin, Wallpaper, and more.

Once you have located the black market, the next time you meet Zeki and talk to him about the task, he will reward you with gold and offer you a key. This key will allow you to enter the hidden market from the general store itself.

To access the market from the store, head behind the counter and enter the blue door. Go down the stairs and interact with the shelf that says “Pull out loose Book”. Once pressed, you’ll be teleported to the hidden black market.
