Walkthrough

Note: This mission is not required and is completely skippable. It is recommended to only subject yourself to it if you are a completionist or masochist. Accepting the mission means you must complete it in full, whether by succeeding or failing. You cannot abandon a mission once accepted.

  • Accept the mission from any Windurst Gate Guard.
    • (Optional) As usual, you can speak to the gate guards and for additional dialogue.
  • Head to (L-6) in Windurst Waters and speak to Moreno-Toeno (inside the Aurastery), who gives you the "Creature Counter" magic doll to keep track of your objective.
    • (Optional) You can talk to the students on the roof and the other NPCs in the same room as Moreno-Toeno for additional dialogue.
    • You can save some time by setting your Home Point in Windurst Waters and bringing a Warp item.
First-Time
  • Head to Tahrongi Canyon and start killing monsters.
    • You have exactly 24 game hours to kill at least 30 monsters in the Canyon and return to Moreno-Toeno.
  • Upon defeating 30 monsters, return to Moreno-Toeno.
Repeating
  • Head to Buburimu Peninsula and start killing monsters.
    • You have exactly 48 game hours to kill at least 30 monsters in the Canyon and return to Moreno-Toeno.
  • Upon defeating 30 monsters, return to Moreno-Toeno.
Getting Assessed
  • Return to Moreno-Toeno in Windurst Waters and speak to him in the final game hour of the time limit. Speaking to him any sooner won't trigger the completion cutscene and speaking to him later will fail the mission.
    • This has lead to a lot of confusion over the years. If you are doing the mission for the first time and accepted it at 06:00, he will only complete the mission if the current time is between 05:00 and 06:00 on the next day.
  • You will fail this mission if you do not return on time or defeat enough monsters. You will, however, be allowed to progress to the next mission if you fill your rank bar via other means.
