| Main Objectives | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Survey the Scarlet Forest ┣ Bring Large Dung Pods ┗ Talk to the Wudwuds |
| 2 | Capture the Yian Kut-Ku ┗ Monitoring Monster Health ▶︎ Monster Hunt: Yian Kut-Ku |
| 2 | Return to the Base Camp |
| 1 | ![]() Replenish your potions and other consumables, and take a meal first to refresh the buff duration. Talk to Alma when you're ready to leave and follow her to the Scarlet Forest. ┣ Bring Large Dung Pods ┗ Talk to the Wudwuds |
|---|---|
| 2 | ![]() As Alma instructs the hunter to get to higher ground, climb the vines to view the forest atop of the tree. Here you will find Sassafrill, in which she asks the hunter to take care of the big beaked intruder. |
| 3 | ![]() When the cutscene ends, the hunter will be faced with a trio of Yian Kut-Ku. To successfully complete the Lured by Abundance Assignment Quest, the hunter must capture one of them. |

Since the encounter starts with three Yian Kut-Ku on the field at once, it's highly recommended that you bring Large Dung Pods ahead of time. This will allow you to immediately drive off two of the extra Yian Kut-Ku, allowing you to focus your attention on just one.
Large Dung Pod Location: How to Get and Uses

During your trek through the Scarlet Forest, you can talk to the WudWuds for some additional dialogue. There is no tangible benefit to doing so, but the player may choose to talk to all three to see how they are doing.
| 1 | ![]() Isolate one Yian Kut-Ku from the rest, which will be your target for capture. You can drive off the other Yian Kut-Ku by inflicting enough damage to them or by using Large Dung Pods. ▶︎ Monster Hunt: Yian Kut-Ku |
|---|---|
| 2 | ![]() Start inflicting damage on the Yian Kut-Ku target. Once the target's health is low enough, Alma will provide the hunter with supply Shock traps and Tranq bombs, which can be obtained from your Seikret. ┗ Monitoring Monster Health |
| 3 | ![]() Set the Trap and let the Yian-Kut Ku walk into it, or place it directly underneath it. Once it is immobilized, use two Tranq Bombs to capture it. |

During the hunt, the monster's icon will have a flashing skull icon next to it when it takes enough damage, as seen on the map and minimap.
This is when the monster's health is low and it is about to die, and it is a sign to the hunter that the monster is now ready for capture.
| 1 | ![]() After dealing with the Yian Kut-Ku, the party returns to the base camp to discuss their findings. Finishing the cutscene ends the mission, and the investigation will continue in the next one. |
