Villains Quest Walkthrough

Catch up with the little girl, Blanche

After saving Blanche from the Treasure Hoarders, she will run away towards a nearby cabin. Simply follow the path forward. Once caught up to Blanche near the cabin, talk to her.

Look for where the suspicious voice is coming from

Location 1	Location 2

There are two areas to check first, highlighted by a glowing point of interest.

Knock on the Door

After clearing those two locations, go back to the front of the cabin and knock on the door.

Pass Cabin's trial

After the Cabin introduces himself, he gives you the simple trial of applying Hydro to a Water Volume Detection Crystal. Make sure you have a Hydro Character in your team for this section.

Difference between Pinecones and Pure Pinecones

Once the trial is complete, go back to the Cabin's front door to receive the next instructions: look for Pure Pinecones.

Take note that Pure Pinecones look different than regular Pinecones. One way to distinguish a Pure Pinecone is that it is larger and brighter than a regular Pinecone.

Meet up with Blanche

While the story says the Traveler has to find five, players really only need to find three. Paimon asks if Blanche might have found the other two. Head towards her vicinity and meet up with Blanche.

Go behind the cabin to find the voice

After counting all of the collected Pure Pinecones, another friend of Tricky Bulle Fruit stops by and gives the last Pure Pinecone. Head back to the cabin afterwards to give the collected Pure Pinecones.

Another voice takes the place of the talking Cabin, coming from behind the buidling. Go around and find out the source of the voice.

Drink the potion and go to the World of Intense Purity

Climb up the Crucible to place the 5 Pure Pinecones collected, as mentioned by the voice coming from the Crucible.

After collecting a container to retrieve the medicine, head up the Crucible. Consume the "Key" first, then enter the World of Intense Purity

Teach Tricky Bulle Fruit a lesson

After Tricky Bulle Fruit tricks you into getting inside the so-called "World of Intense Purity", defeat him in battle. Note that he will not put up a fight at all, so attack to your heart's content.

Go to the pond

Go to the pond nearby the cabin to help Tricky Bulle Fruit complete his potion. Monsters are around the pond, and the Traveler has to defeat them to be able to collect the dew from the center of the pond.

Pond Location

The pond is located northeast, and is very close to the cabin where the Quest is centered in.

Repel Ruthless Calla Lily

After collecting the dew, Blanche and Tricky Bulle Fruit gets into a fight, and Blanche runs away. She can be found a short distance away from the cabin.

The Traveler and Blanche then overhear voices, one of which is Tricky Bulle Fruit near the pond. Go to Tricky Bulle Fruit and Ruthles Calla Lily are, and help Tricky Bulle Fruit defeat Ruthless Calla Lily.

After a short talk with Blanche and Tricky Bulle Fruit after the battle, the quest is officially complete!
