House of Hexes

House of Hexes is a shack in the woods near Malmalam Thicket in Final Fantasy XV. It is an old wooden house with a parasol and a table outside. It is inhabited by Kimya Auburnbrie, the sister of Ezma Auburnbrie, the leader of the Hunters. Kimya's potion brewing skills were branded witchcraft and she was banished to the woods, where she still sells her concoctions to whose who wish to buy them.

Shop
House of Hexes is an item shop near the entrance to Malmalam Thicket. After Dave Auburnbrie goes missing, he can be found near here.

Dave's quest
Noctis learns Dave Auburnbrie, Ezma's son and the next in line to lead the Hunters, has gone missing from the tipster at Verinas Mart - Ravatogh. He is found near the entrance to Malmalam Thicket, looking at the sign that forbids hunters entry. Noctis heads to the House of Hexes and speaks with Kimya, learning she is Dave's aunt. Kimya relays a message to Dave to follow his heart and calling. Noctis delivers the news to Dave at Meldacio Hunter HQ, who seems to have taken them to heart and he later approaches Kimya to mend the rift between his aunt and his mother.

Scraps of Mystery
Kimya's shack has a map scrap behind it on a wooden frame. It marks the Cape Caem lighthouse, and the treasure is found at the top. The player can take the lift to the top from Chapter 9 onwards. This is the only map piece the player can only get by returning to Lucis from later in the game.

Etymology
Hex is an evil spell or curse. It is also a rarely used word for a witch.
