Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII side quest guide
The Hunter’s Challenge
The first step of this quest will be easy, assuming you choose to take on the Vali creatures
Be ready to adapt, because the Aster Protoflorian will be changing things up often
For starting and completing your quest, here’s where you can find the Hunter Chief
Who you get it from: The Hunter Chief in Jagd Village.
When you can obtain the quest: Between 8PM and 8AM, after completing ‘The Right Stuff’ quest.
Rewards for completion: 1200 gil, Golden Insignia x1, Soldier of Peace x1, Max HP +80, Strength +8, Magic +4
Instructions for completion: The chief’s first request is for you to bring him three servings of Monster Mince. If you’ve spent considerable combat time in Jagd Woods or the Grasslands, you should have enough Monster Mince from fallen Vali creatures. If your levels are high and have business in Rocky Crag, you can also get the item from Hanuman beasts.
After you’ve turned in the Monster Mince, you will have to endure the hazards of Rocky Crag because your next target is the Aster Protoflorian and the AMP Chip it possesses. It’s a tough beast, so we waited until clearing most of the Luxerion and Yusnaan quests before taking on this creature. The key is to be mindful of its elemental affinity changes and to counter those accordingly. As usual, report to the quest giver to complete the quest.
