Gray Fight.png

A Mystery Man will be waiting for you atop the cliff. He starts a fight with your squad but you don't need to defeat him. Just whittle his health down to half until he runs away.

Defeat the group of Keves Soldiers that will show up next.

Follow the Mystery Man's Trail

After defeating the Keves Soldiers, jump to the body of water where the Mystery Man jumped off to. Follow it downstream until you get to the shore where the quest marker is.

Interact with the Mystery Man's tracks and his trail would glow. Follow it until you get to him. The trail may disappear from time to time it but you can just roam around the area to make the trail reappear.

There's also a Lv. 80 Jingoistic Gigantus roaming around the area so be very careful not to catch its attention. It can kill your team in an instant and you have to follow the trail from the beginning.

Defeat the Colony 23 Patrol

The Colony 23 Patrol will appear once again to finish the Mystery Man off along with your squad. Defeating them completes the Hero Quest and adds Gray to your party.
