  4. The Truth Unfolds

A Letter From an Unknown Sender

Unlock Condition
Complete the Main Quest Amara's Child and speak with Rudy in Azuria Castle.
Location Azuria Castle, Azuria

Chapter 1 Walkthrough

# Objective
1
Speak with Ogden and select Side Story. This will start the quest and pull you into a cutscene with Ogden.
2
Ogden will tell you about a letter he received with data on an Exotic Velocidrome. Go with him to the egg quartz overlooking the castle to verify the data.
3
Follow the waypoint to a large fruit tree northeast of the Sunpetal Plains Camp. After the cutscene, go to the Egg Quartz south of where the fruit tree is; this is higher up on the hill against the wall.
4
After completing the cutscene go back to the fruit tree. You will see the Exotic Velocidrome running around. This monster will be too fast for you to catch.

The Velocidrome will run on the same route over and over again, observe its path, and place yourself in front of it to intercept the monster.
5
Intercepting the Exotic Velocidrome will start a battle. This monster moves very fast and will often evade your attacks. Try to do Double Attacks when you can to hit the target.
6
After defeating the Exotic Velocidrome, watch the final cutscene to end the quest.

Ogden's Theory

Unlock Condition
Complete the Main Quest Forbidden Ground and set up a base in Sheparden.
Location Sheparden, Canalta Timberland

Chapter 2 Walkthrough

# Objective
1
Speak with Ogden and select Side Story to start the quest. After the cutscene examine the data on the Exotic Seregios.
2
After the cutscene, teleport to Blessing Hill, you can use the camp as a teleport point. On the way to the Exotic Seregios' location, you will meet Gaul, on the way and there will be another cutscene.

Another cutscene will play once you reach the end of the path where the large tree is.
3
You need to lure the Exotic Seregios out by using its favored prey. Based on the notes, it feeds on the monster that lives in that location. If you observe your surroundings, you'll notice that there are many beehives in the area.

This means that you will need to bring an Arzuros to lure the monster out. Make sure to bring a leveled one since you will be using it in the upcoming battle.
4
During this battle you need to use Arzuros. When this monstie is on the field, the Exotic Seregios will only focus on attacking this monstie. All you need to do is make sure to keep its health up while you concentrate on attacking the monster.
5
After defeating the Exotic Seregios, watch the final cutscene to end the quest.

Unlock Condition
Complete the Main Quest Ena and set up a base in Galyad.
Location Galyad, Tarkuan

Chapter 3 Walkthrough

# Objective
1
Speak with Ogden and choose Side Story, after the cutscene study the page on the Exotic Legiana.
2
Travel to Rococo Rocks in the Colossal Dragon's Remains area. If you unlocked it, you can use the Catavan Stand to get there more easily.

Getting to the quest location will require you to ride wind currents to land on the right pillar.
3
A cutscene will play once you land on the correct rock formation. The Exotic Legiana will appear after this scene.

To bring down the monster, shoot it with a Breath attack. Once it's down, quickly fly over to it and initiate a battle.
4
To defeat the Exotic Legiana, you need to break its wings and bring it to the ground. That said, make sure to have a bow with you since its wings are weak to piercing damage.
5
After defeating the Exotic Legiana, watch the final cutscene and end the quest.

3
On the Exotic Nibelsnarf page, it will say that frightening it will lure it out of hiding. Mount a Monstie that uses Roar, go near the center of the area, and use Roar to lure out the Exotic Nibelsnarf.
4
