Alright, so you've hit 1-star Hub Quests and the 'Jumped in the Frost Islands' quest is staring you down. No worries, this is your first real taste of a Bird Wyvern, and it's a pretty straightforward fight once you know what you're doing. The main guy here is the Great Izuchi, and this guide will get you prepped to take him down.

Quest Details:

• Reward: 1800z
• Locale: Frost Islands
• Time Limit: 50 minutes

Great Izuchi Location:

Before you even think about heading out, make sure you've chowed down on some Bunny Dango for buffs and, crucially, equipped a Thunder-based weapon. Great Izuchi absolutely hates Thunder damage, so lean into that. You'll be hunting it in the Frost Islands, and it tends to hang out in a few specific spots:

• Area 4 (60% chance)
• Area 2 (30% chance)
• Area 9 (10% chance)

How to Defeat Great Izuchi:

Once you've accepted the quest, head to one of the areas listed above. Great Izuchi is a Bird Wyvern that uses its long, powerful tail as its primary weapon. It's got a whole range of attacks with that thing, including a pretty nasty spin move that you'll definitely want to dodge. Besides the tail, it can also slash with its claws and even spit projectiles from a distance. Remember that Thunder weapon you brought? Keep hitting it with that, especially when it's open after an attack. If you're looking for more in-depth strategies, there's a dedicated page for Great Izuchi that goes into way more detail, but for this quest, focusing on its Thunder weakness and dodging those tail whips will get you through.
