On the Island, break the blue stone ore with an attack or a breath to get the Sucklebug.

After gathering all the materials, return to the Sunpetal Plains Camp to trigger a cutscene. Do not enter the tent. If the scene doesn't trigger right away, walk away, then approach Eleanor at the camp until it does.

Speak with Eleanor at your base and choose Side Story. After the cutscene, set out to hunt a Magnamalo, a Feral Aknosom, and an Almudron.

Just outside your base in Galyad, speak to Catba's subordinate at the docks.
2
After interacting with Catba's subordinate, you will arrive in Bountiful Dunes. Use the Catavan Stand, then teleport to the Muddled Marsh.

Enter the Muddled Marsh and attack the Almudron. If you are level 60 or higher a mounted attack will kill it without doing the battle. You will receive the Almudron Tenderloin for defeating him.

If you enter the battle, focus your attacks on the main monster. Since its attacks can have an accuracy-reducing effect, try to stay riding on your monstie to mitigate this.

Next, travel to the Old Capital Road in Serathis. From the Catavan Stand, follow the road west until you see the alcove with the sleeping Magnamalo. Attack him to get the Preemptive Strike Damage.

The Feral Aknosom will be where you emerge. Attack it to start the battle. This Monster will have strong fire attacks. You also need to watch out for its counter that can apply Skillseal.

For this battle, it is recommended that you be level 25 and above. After defeating it, you will get the Feral Aknosom Thigh.
7
After getting all the ingredients, return to the Galyad Base. Finish the last cutscene to complete the quest.
