[edit] Detailed Walkthrough

At the Docks	Top of the Warehouse
Wall Walking	About to enter

Point A - Down by the Docks

There really isn't any conversation required to start this quest. Go behind the small house East and behind Kotaro. There is a crate back there which will allow you to climb on its roof. Jump and climb onto the warehouse beside it.

Point B - The Warehouse

Now on top of the warehouse you should see two clotheslines connecting the other warehouse. It is not possible to jump across the gap and you cannot hang off of the clothesline it appears. Instead, it's possible to run/walk across, tightrope style. It's best to line yourself up exactly and just run across. It appears that Cyrus has trouble stepping over those clothespins since you get stuck when walking. You might also stop when running too. If that happens just carefully jump and you should continue on. Once on the other warehouse roof make a running jump onto the city wall.

Point C - The City Wall

Continue South along the city wall to the Statue of Hunding. The last ledge cannot be walked on since it is too narrow. Instead, hang off of the edge and shimmy along until you reach the other side. Walk into the statue and grab the talisman from within. You can probably exit by following the city wall all the way North, or by simply jumping into the water (no damage is taken).

The Talisman

Now that you have the talisman, what does it do? The only place I found a use for it was the Goblin Caves, Point O where you find that crack in the wall. It is not a required item and you can finish the game without it. It has something to do with that crack in the wall...
