How to Clear A Skilled Hunter

Toss a Fluffruit near the Talonflame

Talonflame Perched on Rock.jpg

In the area before you enter the cave, you can find a Talonflame perched on top of a tall rock. Toss a Fluffruit on the ground near the rock it is perched on and wait for the Talonflame to start flying down.

Take a Photo When Talonflame Takes the Fruit

Quickly take a photo as the Talonflame snatches up the fruit. This action only lasts for a few seconds so make sure to prepare your shot beforehand.

Be Careful with the Archeops

In Research Level 2, you can find a flock of Archeops running around the same area as Talonflame. Make sure not to toss the Fluffruit near an Archeops to avoid it eating the fruit. However, if you do manage to take a photo of this, it can be used to complete another request: Archeops at Ease.

Reward for Clearing A Skilled Hunter

Small note I forgot to mention, you have the toss luma orbs at the Gravelers as they pass you to cause them to turn left and enter the molten ground zone to the left of the path or they will scare away the Flametalon.
