Walkthrough

1
Before accepting the hunt, clear out the Yardang Labyrinth of Wolves and Cockatrices, but leave neutral Cactoids and Cactites.
2
Return to the Yardang Labyrinth and clear out respawned monsters.
3
Head to the Estersand Outpost and speak with Dantro, who is sitting on a crate talking to a Seeq. He will inform you about the Mark.
4
If you haven't visited the Outpost before, search the eastern-most part of the map, past a palm tree, to find an urn containing the Firefly accessory.
5
Return to the Yardang Labyrinth and proceed northeast. Take the second southeast turn to find the Flowering Cactoid, located south of the Sand-Swept Naze area transition.
6
Equip Balthier with an Altair gun, as it ignores evasion. Be prepared for the Cactoid to inflict Blind with its regular attacks; use Blindna and/or Eye Drops to counter.
7
When the Flowering Cactoid's HP drops below 20%, it will begin using 1,000 Needles, which can instantly kill a character. Keep a Phoenix Down handy to revive fallen party members.
8
Defeat the Flowering Cactoid.
9
Return to Dantro to claim your reward: 500 Gil, Potion x10, and Cactus Flower.
10
After receiving your reward, speak to Dantro again. He will ask you to deliver the Cactus Flower to his wife in a village to the north.

Tips

Clearing the Yardang Labyrinth beforehand makes chasing the Flowering Cactoid easier when it flees.
If you don't pressure the Cactoid, it can use Potions to heal itself.
The Flowering Cactoid has high evasion, making weapons that ignore evasion, like Balthier's Altair gun, effective.
Be prepared for the 1,000 Needles attack when the Cactoid is low on health.
