Head for Raptor Perch

After telling Ethel about your departure, head for Dannagh Desert until you reach Raptor's Perch. It's quite a ways from Colony 4 but you can follow the map above and skip travel to any landmark nearest Raptor Perch to get there faster.

Explore Milio Trick Caverns

Enter the Milio Trick Caverns upon arriving at Raptor Perch.

Solve Puzzles to Open Gates

As you explore the caverns, you'll find puzzles that you need to solve in order to open the gates. These puzzles are pretty straightforward. You just need to slot the orange orbs into the green holes using the left and right shoulder buttons.

Defeat Enemies to Open Gates

Another way to open gates is to defeat enemies. You'll find yourself locked in a chamber with enemies at times and defeating them is the only way out.

Explore Diverging Paths

You'll find yourself at a crossroads at times as you explore the caverns but these won't be a problem since one of them always ends up at a dead end. You'll even find rewards towards the end!

Reach Sage's Domicile and Talk to Burrburr

Seekseek and Burrburr.png

Keep venturing further into the caverns until you find a door at Sage's Garden. Open it to find Burrburr and Seekseek at Sage's Domicile. Talk to Burrburr to unlock the quest The Thrill of the Hunt!

Gather 15 Nopon Coins (Silver)

Next, you'll need to gather 15 Nopon Coins (Silver). If you already have enough in your inventory, the next step in the quest will automatically be cleared for you. Otherwise, you need to farm for more until you have enough to give Burrburr and Seekseek.

Nopon Coins are commonly obtained from containers, killing unique monsters, and assisting one side of a monster dispute.

Once you have enough, talk to Burrburr.

How to Farm Nopon Coins

Trade Your Nopon Coins for Items

Talk to Seekseek after your conversation with Burrburr to learn more about trading Silver Nopon Coins for items.

When you're ready, talk to Seekseek again to trade your 15 Silver Nopon Coins for an item of your choice. If you have more Silver Nopon Coins, you can get more items!

Talk to Burrburr after you're done trading with Seekseek to complete the quest.
