==Walkthrough==
The weakness rotation, one-attempt restriction, reset timing, and follow-up quest conditions below require confirmation on HorizonXI. {{Verification}}

===Investigation Targets===
Speak with [[Hishahma]] and select one of the following investigations:

{| class="horizon-table table-xl quest-table"
! Investigation
! Notorious Monster
! Spawn Point
! Branch-Specific Weakness Categories
|-
| Lamiae
| [[Lamia Deathdancer]]
| {{Location|Caedarva Mire|I-7|map=Map 1|id=finding-faults-lamia-spawn}}
|
* A particular sound
* Low physical strength
|-
| Trolls
| [[Troll Speculator]]
| {{Location|Mount Zhayolm|L-6|map=Map 1|id=finding-faults-troll-spawn}}
|
* A particular scent
* Sluggish movement
|-
| Mamool Ja
| [[Mamool Ja Mimicker]]
| {{Location|Wajaom Woodlands|E-13|On the isolated ledge reached through [[Mamook]].|id=finding-faults-mamool-spawn}}
|
* A particular irritant
* Difficulty landing after a fall
|}

===Quest Flow===
# Speak with [[Hishahma]] at {{Location Tooltip|area=Aht Urhgan Whitegate|map=Map 1|pos=K-8|text=K-8|id=finding-faults-hishahma}}.
# Select the Lamia, Troll, or Mamool Ja investigation.
# Travel to the corresponding spawn point listed above.
# Examine the [[???]] to spawn the selected Notorious Monster.
# Attempt to determine which two weakness categories are active.
#* The monster becomes intimidated whenever an active weakness is triggered.
#* Two of the five possible categories for that investigation are active.
#* You do not need to trigger either weakness during the fight. The monster may still be defeated, after which you may guess two answers.
# Defeat the Notorious Monster.
#* Do not change areas or allow the monster to despawn.
#* The ??? does not immediately provide another attempt for the accepted investigation.
# Return to Hishahma and select the two categories you believe were the monster's weaknesses.
# Change areas and wait until after the next [[Japanese Midnight]].
# Speak with Hishahma again to receive the result and any applicable reward.

===Shared Weakness Categories===
Three possible weakness categories are shared by all three investigations:

{| class="horizon-table table-lg quest-table"
! Weakness Category
! Testing Method
|-
| A particular weapon skill
| Use different weapon skills and watch for the monster to become intimidated.
|-
| A weapon skill used from a particular direction
| Use weapon skills from the monster's front, rear, left, and right sides.
|-
| A particular element
| Use attacks or spells representing different elements and watch for intimidation.
|}

Each investigation also has the two branch-specific categories described below.

===Lamia Investigation===
====Travel====
* If the [[Azouph Isle Staging Point]] is activated:
** Use the [[Runic Portal]] in the [[Chamber of Passage]] at {{Location Tooltip|area=Aht Urhgan Whitegate|map=Map 1|pos=L-7|text=L-7|id=finding-faults-lamia-chamber}}.
** Exit the staging point into [[Caedarva Mire]] at {{Location Tooltip|area=Caedarva Mire|map=Map 1|pos=K-9|text=K-9|id=finding-faults-lamia-azouph-exit}}.
** Travel northwest to the ??? at {{Location Tooltip|area=Caedarva Mire|map=Map 1|pos=I-7|text=I-7|id=finding-faults-lamia-target}}.
* Without the staging-point route:
** Take the [[Silver Sea route to Nashmau]] from [[Port Ephramad]] at {{Location Tooltip|area=Aht Urhgan Whitegate|map=Map 1|pos=I-5|text=I-5|id=finding-faults-lamia-ferry}}.
** Leave [[Nashmau]] through its northern gate at {{Location Tooltip|area=Nashmau|map=Map 1|pos=H-6|text=H-6|id=finding-faults-lamia-nashmau-exit}}.
** Travel north through Caedarva Mire to the ??? at {{Location Tooltip|area=Caedarva Mire|map=Map 1|pos=I-7|text=I-7|id=finding-faults-lamia-target-alt}}.

====Branch-Specific Tests====
* '''A particular sound:'''
** Examine the nearby '''Peculiar Plants''' after spawning Lamia Deathdancer.
** The sound corresponding to the active weakness causes Lamia Deathdancer to become intimidated.
* '''Low physical strength:'''
** Strike Lamia Deathdancer with ordinary melee attacks and watch for intimidation.

===Troll Investigation===
====Travel====
* If the [[Halvung Staging Point]] is activated:
** Use the [[Runic Portal]] in the [[Chamber of Passage]] at {{Location Tooltip|area=Aht Urhgan Whitegate|map=Map 1|pos=L-7|text=L-7|id=finding-faults-troll-chamber}}.
** Exit the staging point into [[Mount Zhayolm]] at {{Location Tooltip|area=Mount Zhayolm|map=Map 1|pos=K-6|text=K-6|id=finding-faults-troll-staging-exit}}.
** Travel east to the ??? at {{Location Tooltip|area=Mount Zhayolm|map=Map 1|pos=L-6|text=L-6|id=finding-faults-troll-target}}.
* Without the staging-point route:
** Leave [[Aht Urhgan Whitegate]] for [[Bhaflau Thickets]] through the gate at {{Location Tooltip|area=Aht Urhgan Whitegate|map=Map 1|pos=H-7|text=H-7|id=finding-faults-troll-whitegate-exit}}.
** Cross Bhaflau Thickets and enter [[Halvung]] at {{Location Tooltip|area=Bhaflau Thickets|map=Map 1|pos=F-8|text=F-8|id=finding-faults-troll-halvung-entry}}.
** Cast [[Escape]] to emerge in Mount Zhayolm at {{Location Tooltip|area=Mount Zhayolm|map=Map 1|pos=L-7|text=L-7|id=finding-faults-troll-escape-exit}}.
*** Alternatively, follow the Halvung route to the same Mount Zhayolm exit.
** Travel north to the ??? at {{Location Tooltip|area=Mount Zhayolm|map=Map 1|pos=L-6|text=L-6|id=finding-faults-troll-target-alt}}.

====Branch-Specific Tests====
* '''A particular scent:'''
** Examine the nearby '''Peculiar Seed''' after spawning Troll Speculator.
** The scent corresponding to the active weakness causes Troll Speculator to become intimidated.
* '''Sluggish movement:'''
** Pull Troll Speculator away from its spawn point and observe its movement speed.
** If this weakness is active, it moves substantially slower than an ordinary Troll.

===Mamool Ja Investigation===
====Travel====
The spawn point is on an isolated ledge in Wajaom Woodlands and cannot be reached directly from the main portion of the zone.

# Leave [[Aht Urhgan Whitegate]] for [[Wajaom Woodlands]] through the gate at {{Location Tooltip|area=Aht Urhgan Whitegate|map=Map 1|pos=H-10|text=H-10|id=finding-faults-mamool-whitegate-exit}}.
# You enter Wajaom Woodlands near {{Location Tooltip|area=Wajaom Woodlands|pos=M-7|text=M-7|id=finding-faults-mamool-wajaom-entry}}.
# Travel southwest and enter [[Mamook]] through the Wajaom Woodlands entrance at {{Location Tooltip|area=Wajaom Woodlands|pos=D-12|text=D-12|id=finding-faults-mamool-wajaom-mamook-entry}}.
# You arrive in Mamook at {{Location Tooltip|area=Mamook|map=Map 1|pos=J-7|text=J-7|id=finding-faults-mamool-mamook-entry}}.
# Cross Mamook Map 1 and take the exit at {{Location Tooltip|area=Mamook|map=Map 1|pos=M-9|text=M-9|id=finding-faults-mamool-mamook-exit}}.
# You emerge on the isolated Wajaom Woodlands ledge at {{Location Tooltip|area=Wajaom Woodlands|pos=E-13|text=E-13|id=finding-faults-mamool-wajaom-ledge}}, beside the quest targets.

====Branch-Specific Tests====
* '''A particular irritant:'''
** Examine the nearby '''Peculiar Bud''' after spawning Mamool Ja Mimicker.
** Examine the bud before leading the monster down from the ledge, as the target may no longer be accessible afterward.
** The reported irritant message is: ''A liquid drips from the plant when you touch it, making your eyes blink rapidly.''
* '''Difficulty landing after a fall:'''
** Lead Mamool Ja Mimicker over the nearby one-way ledge.
** Watch for the monster to become intimidated when it lands.

===Rewards===
After reporting your answers, changing areas, and waiting until after the next Japanese Midnight, speak with Hishahma to receive the result.
