The Mad Monk Walkthrough

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

# Walkthrough
1
East Gate
To begin The Mad Monk normal mission, you must complete Chapter 5, the Backup Request (Bozé) affinity mission, and reach at least Level 20.

Once these conditions are met, head to the East Gate and examine the Affinity Mission icon to start the quest.
▶ Chapter 5: Ma-non Maneuvers
2
FN Site Locations
The mission begins with Bozé requesting help to rescue a missing BLADE team in Noctilum. Fast travel to FN Site 209 since the quest marker is nearby. If it’s not unlocked, use FN Site 205 and travel south to the marked location.

Eventually, you’ll reach the Vitriol Cesspool in Noctilum.
▶ Noctilum Region Map Guide
3
Jejebba
Inside the cave, you’ll find an injured Ma-non named Jejebba. You can either help him or ignore him.

If you choose to assist him, he’ll ask for 5 Muneria Flowers, a common collectible. You might already have enough in your inventory. Once you hand over the flowers, proceed deeper into the cave.
4
Reggie
Continue following the quest marker deeper inside. Watch out for two Level 40 Ghillie Falsaxums along the way and avoid them if possible.

Eventually, you’ll locate Reggie. Speak with him to learn more about what happened.
5
Defend 2 Minutes
Prepare for a 2-minute survival battle, where you must defend against waves of enemies. The foes you’ll encounter include:

・Level 13–14 Heinous Blattas
・Level 17–18 Heinous Forfexes
6 Once the battle ends, return to New LA and report to Eleonora in the BLADE Concourse to complete the mission.

Bozé will also now officially join your team.
