There is a daring soul that will doubt your victory against Forneus. He'll bet all of his Macca that you won't be able to emerge victorious. After proving him wrong, return to him and talk to him to gain a hefty amount of Macca!

How to Farm Macca

Recruit a Shikigami to your party

Shikigami is a demon that can use Zio. Forneus is weak to the lightning element and the additional Zio you use in the fight will greatly speed up the battle.
