Finding NPCs is an important part of progressing in Stand Out, especially when you need to complete story missions, unlock new abilities, or collect special rewards. However, not every NPC stays in an obvious location. Some can be found inside important buildings, while others only appear under certain weather conditions.
For example, D’Arby can be found at the Docks, where he helps players store their Stands. Meanwhile, Donatello is located in the park near the Museum of O’ahu and allows you to start raids. There are also special NPCs like Blackmore, who only appears when it rains.
If you are having trouble finding a particular character, this guide covers all known Stand Out NPC locations, their functions, and the quests they provide.
All NPC Locations in Stand Out
Stand Out takes place on O’ahu, with several locations inspired by The JOJOLands. Throughout your adventure, you will meet different characters from the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure series, including Meryl Mei Qi, Jodio Joestar, Dragona Joestar, and Lisa Lisa.

Which NPCs Should You Visit First?
Although Stand Out has many NPCs, you do not need to visit everyone immediately. Some characters are more important during early progression because they unlock essential features, provide useful rewards, or help you access new activities.
If you are just starting the game, prioritize the following NPCs.
1. Meryl Mei Qi for Main Story Progression
Meryl should be your first important NPC after completing the tutorial. You can find her inside Iko Iko after helping Jodio Joestar.
She introduces the Rohan Kishibe villa mission and gives you access to your in-game phone. This phone is important because it helps you navigate O’ahu and access different activities, including Quests, Bounties, and Eliminations.
Following her story also introduces you to several important locations, such as Diamotch, the Land Registry Office, and the Hospital. Instead of exploring randomly, complete the objectives she gives you to naturally discover these areas.
2. D’Arby for Stand Storage
D’Arby is another NPC you should visit early, especially if you enjoy collecting different Stands. You can find him at the Docks, where he provides the Stand Storage feature.
This becomes particularly useful when you obtain a Stand you like but still want to experiment with other options. You can turn your current Stand into a Stand Chip and save it for later.
However, be careful when using stored Stand Chips. Activating another Chip while you already have a Stand equipped will permanently replace your currently equipped Stand. Make sure you understand the storage system before attempting another reroll.
3. Angelo for the Big Business Quest
Before starting your first raid, consider visiting Angelo behind the Police Station. He provides the Big Business quest, which rewards you with a Bizarre Arrow after completing several activities.
The objectives include:
- Complete one raid.
- Finish three Bounties.
- Complete ten Eliminations.
It is better to accept this quest before starting these activities because you can progress toward multiple objectives at the same time.
While visiting the Police Station, you should also talk to Petyr. He provides repeatable Bounties, allowing you to complete another objective without traveling to a different location.
4. Donatello for Your First Raid
Once your character is strong enough, head to the park near the Museum of O’ahu and find Donatello.
He is responsible for starting Bizarre Adventures, including the Train Raid and Highway Star Raid. These activities provide useful rewards, including tokens that can be exchanged for Mysterious Arrows and specific Stand Chips.
For beginners, starting with Regular difficulty is recommended so you can learn the raid mechanics before attempting harder versions.
How to Find Blackmore, the Old Lady, and the Lettuce Trader
Some NPCs in Stand Out are harder to locate because they do not always appear in the same conditions. Blackmore, the Old Lady, and the Lettuce Trader are particularly important because they provide special side quests with unique rewards.
Instead of searching the entire map, check the current weather before looking for them.
Blackmore – Catch The Rainbow Quest
Blackmore only appears during rainy weather. You can find him behind McKinley Highschool, so make sure to check this area whenever it starts raining.
Speaking to him starts the Catch The Rainbow quest. Your objective is to find the leprechaun at the end of the rainbow and capture it before the weather changes.
The main challenge is the time limit. You need to return to Blackmore before the rain stops, so avoid spending too much time exploring other areas during the quest.
Rewards:
- Mysterious Arrow.
- Blackmore’s Jacket.
- Blackmore’s Pants.
Old Lady – The Statue of Sorrow Quest
The Old Lady appears behind Iko Iko, but only when the weather is foggy. If you cannot find her, check the weather and return when fog appears.
Talking to her starts The Statue of Sorrow quest, which involves Angelo and the Rolling Stones.
During the mission, you will need to crouch and follow cracks while dealing with the Rolling Stones. Pay attention to the instructions when the quest asks you to lure the stone into a net because your actions can affect which accessory you receive.
Rewards:
- Arrow rewards.
- Accessories from the quest.
Lettuce Trader – Yo-Yo, What the Hell, Ma?!
Unlike Blackmore and the Old Lady, the Lettuce Trader appears during sunny weather. However, finding him can be more difficult because his location and displayed name are randomized.
You should search different areas of O’ahu whenever the weather is sunny. Do not rely entirely on old screenshots or location guides because his spawn can change.
Once you find him, talk to him to start the Yo-Yo, What the Hell, Ma?! quest.
Possible Rewards:
- Mysterious Arrows.
- Yo-Yo Stand Chip.
- Harvest Stand Chip.
The Stand Chip rewards have a small chance of dropping, so you may need to complete the quest multiple times if you are targeting a specific one.
Important NPC Name Differences
There are several NPC names in Stand Out that can easily cause confusion, especially when they have similar names.
Keep these differences in mind:
- Billy: Located inside the Hospital and provides the Hermit Purple quest.
- Bill: Located inside Mr. President’s Pocket Dimension and helps you leave the room.
- Bobby: Provides the Blow Bubble emote and Bubble Practice quest.
If you are trying to leave Mr. President’s Pocket Dimension, make sure you are looking for Bill rather than Billy or Bobby.
Knowing all Stand Out NPC locations will make your progression much easier, especially when completing story missions and searching for special rewards. Meryl, D’Arby, and Donatello are among the most important characters to visit because they provide access to the main story, Stand Storage, and raids.
For side quests, remember that Blackmore only appears during rain, the Old Lady spawns during fog, and the Lettuce Trader can be found during sunny weather. Check the weather before searching for these characters so you do not waste time exploring the wrong locations. If you are still learning the game, prioritize the main story first and visit other NPCs whenever their quests match your current progression.
