Explore the ocean in ni no kuni 2 revenant kingdom, find caves like Floodfall Cave, and defeat Tainted Monsters like Grimpopo for rewards.
When you first board your ship, you will receive a trophy for the 'Ocean-Going King' award and a tutorial about boat mechanics. You can board and disembark at any shore marked with an exclamation point, and your boat will appear on the nearest coastline when you travel to a trip door. Before sailing, pick up new sidequests in Capstan-upon-Hull. One sidequest here may require kingdom development and crafting, while another, '037 Tiller, Long-Distance Rower', requires a consumable found in a future dungeon. A sidequest in Goldpaw requires 10,000 guilders to begin. Completing sidequest '038 Sick of Sandals' unlocks another sidequest in Evermore ('039 The Chicest of Shoes').
Travel to the Calmlands trip door, board your ship to the south, and follow the coastline north to find Floodfall Cave. This cave is part of Sidequest 040, and its final room contains a chest with 5 Crimson Crystals. Continue north along the coast to a small elevation south of the Forest of Niall. You can sail up the small waterfall here and navigate rivers. East of the Forest of Niall is Squeezethrough Grotto, containing only two sparkles. For the final two caves, sail to the river north of Evermore. The western waters lead to Runaway Cave, which has a level 41 Tainted Monster. The northern waters lead to Dugout, which has a chest in the first western room containing a Strong Sixth Censer, and another chest in the southeast corner with a Gloomy Hurly Handgun. A level 27 Whammity, a whamster, is also in the southwest of Dugout.
There are additional Tainted Monsters to defeat. Googah is located southeast of the Jumblewoods, on the way to the Forest of Niall. Another Tainted Monster, level 29 Quilla (a hedgehound), is on Starboard Isle, south of Capstan-upon-Hull. Be cautious of level 55+ Wavewyrms on the island. Land on the northern end and travel west then south to find Quilla. The chest behind Quilla contains Songbook No. 4. A chest near your landing spot on a raised piece of land contains a Choppy Soldier’s Cloak.
Sail to Hydropolis and land on the small island southeast of Mikronos. A chest here contains a Soreaway Sweet. Explore Makronos, the large island nearby. Land on the southern end and activate the Makronos Trip Door. A level 37 Grimpopo, a whamster archer, is in the center of the island. Grimpopo shoots an explosive arrow; learn its blast radius to avoid damage. The chest behind it yields 1500 guilders. The island's coral platforms can be used for navigation. A chest to the left of the “stairs” contains 3 Scariwinkles, which are needed for Sidequest 017. Climb the western coral platforms and head north to a hidden area with Coral Cave, which has a blue chest nearby containing Multiproof Roguish Boots. Coral Cave itself contains only sparkles.
From the coral stairs, head east to another path leading to the Shrine of Pining. Continue north, then northeast to find a chest with an Antifreeze Pendant near the Coral Cave entrance. Head west, then north and east to find more “stairs” leading to a chest with a Soldier’s Spear.
