    Inside the Moldering Ruins, head past the save point, go south, then west to find a chest containing an Inspiriting Plum M.

    Return to the main section. Take the stairs north of the southeast path to find the Grave Robber. Defeat him using Olberic or H'aanit. He uses physical attacks and can buff his attack.

    Return to the top of the stairs, hug the northern wall, and go east to a hidden opening leading to a chest with a Thunderstorm Amulet.
  11. 11
    Before the hidden opening, go south and descend stairs to an inaccessible area below to find a Vivifying Stone.

    Return to the base of the large staircase and continue southeast through arches. By the third opening, find a path west to a chest with an Energizing Pomegranate L.

    A Cub with No Name:
    • Return to Duskbarrow and speak to the Fearful Mother in the southwestern corner. Her son found a tiger cub.

  16. 16
    Solution 2: Use Alfyn or Cyrus. Go to S’warkii, find the Scholar of Beasts by the stairs in the southeastern part, and Inquire/Scrutinize him for the 'How to Train a Tiger' information. Bring this back to the mother.

    • Travel to Grandport and enter the Markets area. Find Le Mann near the docks in the lower right corner.

    An Exotic Aroma:
    • In Grandport's Markets area (southwest corner), find the woman from a distant land who misses the smell of quatrait blooms.

  22. 22
    Solution 2: Use Primrose or Ophilia. Guide/Allure the questgiver, then fast travel to Rippletide. Find the Caravan Member on the docks.
Tips
  • For 'Looting Grave Robber,' the enemy primarily uses physical attacks but can buff its strength.
  • Be wary of the Wharf Thug's 'Brain Bash' in 'Le Mann, Explorer Extraordinaire,' as it can cause Unconscious.
  • The 'A Cub with No Name' quest has two distinct solutions, requiring different character abilities or knowledge.
  • In 'An Exotic Aroma,' the second solution involves guiding the questgiver to Rippletide to find a Caravan Member.
  • Looting Grave Robber: 4,000 Leaves, Energizing Pomegranate (L)
  • Ashlan the Beastmaster: 11,000 Leaves, Monster Trainer’s Hat, Slippery Nut (L)
  • A Cub with No Name: 7,000 Leaves, Beastly Scarf
  • Le Mann, Explorer Extraordinaire: 11,000 Leaves, Adventurer’s Hat, Fortifying Nut (L)
  • An Exotic Aroma: (Rewards vary based on solution, typically Leaves and an accessory/item)
