3	Return to Fia Go back to Fia and tell her the news about the Supply Caches having no Dreamwillow. You can use a Fast Travel Pack to get to her quickly. She will inform you then about Jun and where to find him.

Tips and Strategies

Override a Strider

The distance between the quest objectives is far. We highly recommend overriding a Strider so you can travel fast and get to them quickly!

Killing the Machines

The fastest way to destroy the Machines surrounding the Outcasts is to set the Sabertooth's Canister on fire to cause a large explosion. It will be enough to kill the small ones nearby, but it will only damage the Sabertooth to half health.

You can set up a trap using the Tripcaster after the explosion, then lure the Sabertooth, and finish it with multiple spear strikes. You can deal fatal damage to it if you have the Critical Strike Skill while it's down.
