Description: Gav has been tracking the one the citizens of Lostwing believed to be a Dominant of Fire—the same man who reduced Caer Norvent to cinders—and sends word to Cid that he has picked up the scent of their quarry. However, it seems the forces of Sanbreque are also on Gav's trail, as en route to rendezvous with him at the Kingsfall, Cid and Clive hear the unmistakable sound of an imperial hunting whistle. They split up and race to his rescue. |
You can start The Hunter and the Hunted after steeling your resolve and teleporting to the Kingsfall during The Wages of Guilt quest. You will start off with only Torgal in your party, but you'll eventually meet up with Cid as you progress.

The Wages of Guilt | Homecoming |
Minotaur is a new monster making its debut on this quest. It's slower than normal monsters and soldiers, but its attacks hit heavy and it has a lot of HP.
Knight of the Dying Sun is similar to Knight of the Blinding Dawn in terms of attacks, except it has a special move called Mirage Dive. It will be a 2-on-2 battle, but you can focus on him as Cid will take care of the Imperial War Aevis.
