Malmalam Thicket

Mystery Map XIV: From the Fort Vaullerey Parking Spot, drive south past Fort Vaullerey. Look for a water tower to your left (east of the highway). Jump the guard rail and head to the water tower, then turn north-east to find a trail. Follow this trail north-east until it bends east, then take a trail north to a shack. West of the shack is a broken-down car where you'll find Mystery Map XIV, starting the "Scraps of Mystery XIV" quest.

Malmalam Trail: Return to the Regalia and travel to the Malmalam Thicket Parking Spot. Follow the road south-west past Telghey Haven Campground to a bridge. Cross the bridge to find the trail to Malmalam Thicket. Be prepared for encounters with Spiracorns, Killer Bees, Seadevils, and Shieldshears.

Treasures on the Trail: From the bridge, head north-west across rocks to find the "Malmalam Thicket" sign. Turn south from the sign and go through trees until you reach sheer rock formations. Follow these rocks and trees north-west to find a Treasure Spot containing an Ancient Dragon Tooth. Continue north to find the trail back to Malmalam. Follow the trail uphill north, and when it turns south-west, continue north, veering off the trail to find another Treasure Spot with a Mega Phoenix.

Dave and the Dog Tag: Return to the trail and follow it until you find Dave, who is south-west of the quest icon. Talk to him to learn about a missing hunter in Malmalam Thicket and to accept the quest to find the Dog Tag.

House of Hexes: After talking to Dave and updating "The Witch of the Woods," follow the trail north. Find a break in the rocks to the south-west and veer off onto an unmarked trail running south-west and south, which leads to the "House of Hexes." Talk to Kimya, the "witch," outside her house. You can also browse her wares.

House of Hexes Items: Kimya sells various items including Potions (50 Gil), Hi-Potions (100 Gil), Elixirs (400 Gil), Hi-Elixirs (800 Gil), Phoenix Downs (1,000 Gil), Antidotes (10 Gil), Gold Needles (50 Gil), Smelling Salts (50 Gil), and Maiden’s Kisses (100 Gil).

Mystery Map XIII: On the southern side of the House of Hexes, search against the wall among stacked frames and planks. Behind a wooden frame on the ground, you will find Mystery Map XIII, starting "Scraps of Mystery XIII."

Into Malmalam Thicket: Return to the trail leading to Malmalam Thicket and follow it to the dungeon entrance. Proceed through the linear tunnel. Enemies encountered vary by time of day: Imps and Flans at night, Mandrakes during the day. Look for loot spots containing Giant Crab Pincers and the greatsword Thunderbolt.

Food Spot and More Loot: In a more open chamber, you'll encounter a Soldier Wasp. To the south-east, find a Food Spot (Malmashroom) that teaches Ignis the recipe "Three Mushroom Kebabs," which provides resistance to most status effects. Nearby, grab a loot spot for a Prismatic Shard. Continue down the tunnel, defeat more Soldier Wasps, and find another loot spot with a Sapphire Bracelet before reaching a stream.
