How to Clear Message from a Friend

Use Fluffruit to lead Weavile to the tree

From the start of the level, you'll need to use Fluffruit to lead the Weavile to the tree with markings on it before the tunnel. It's a rather long path, but if you throw the Fluffruit one by one in a straight path leading all the way to the end, you should be able to make Weavile approach the tree.

If you're having trouble, you can keep your camera in zoom mode, as it will slow down the Neo-One's movement. The Furret near the beginning may also try and eat the Fluffruit for Weavile, so it's a good idea to throw a single Fluffruit out for Furret in the beginning.

One Weavile approaches the tree, throwing an Illumina Orb at both Weavile and the tree will cause the Weavile to read the markings. Get a picture of this to complete the request.

The Weavile will then jump to a high place. The same Weavile is used to complete the request The Wrath of Mamoswine, so you can clear both of these in the same run.

You can't lead him straight to the markings You have to lead him on the right side of your path. There is a tree about halfway that he will run to and inspect. He needs to do this before he will inspect the tree with markings If he starts eating a fruit, you can hit him to interrupt, and then throw more to lure him

You have to lure the Weavile to the tree with scratches AND light up the scratches with an illumina orb
