Things to Do Before Fighting Nine-Tailed Fox

1:You can take on many requests using the Task Board

Many requests, often not related to the Main Story, can be accepted at the Task Board. You can receive items and farm tools as thanks for completing these quests, so prioritize completing any request that are still remaining.

8: You must wait until the items placed in the Shipping Crate are shipped

Lucy's request requires you to place the turnip you get from her in the shipping crate, but the request doesn't end there. Any request that requires using the shipping crate will not be completed until 8am the next day, so make sure to check the Task Board at the appropriate time.

12: Taming Nine-Tailed Fox will make future battles much easier

	・The Nine-Tailed Fox's Favorite item is the same Nine-Taield Fox Bell that it drops after defeating it ・Its powerful long-range attacks are incredibly useful during battle

Boss Monsters, similar to regular monster can be tamed when you give them a item. As the NIne-Tailed Fox is not only fairly easy to tame, and is very strong during battle, we recommend befriending it.
