Dadapon in Trouble

Client Rewards Affinity
Pachipa 3900G, 1000 EXP, Poison Plus III 2✰

This quest has a number of prerequisites that you must complete before you are able to activate it. Once you have arrived at Frontier Village, you need to head back to Bionis’ Leg and talk to Gerugu again at Traveller’s Rest. You may have already completed his quests The Lost Nopon and With Even More Gratitude when you were exploring Bionis’ Leg for the first time, but to activate Dadapon in Trouble you need to talk to him again after reaching Frontier Village. Once you have spoken to him, speak to Pachipa in Frontier Village, and she will tell you that her Dadapon is exploring Bionis’ Leg, this is important since it establishes an affinity link between Gerugu and Pachipa. Once you have this affinity link and your affinity in Central Bionis is at 2✰, then Pachipa will give you the quest.

Pachipa tells you that her dadapon is having trouble with some thieving Mount Tortas on Bionis’ Leg. She asks you to defeat 2 Mount Tortas so they will stop stealing Gerugu’s things. The Mount Tortas can be found under the bridges near Viliera Hill, east of the Kamos Guidepost landmark. Once defeated, head back to Pachipa to complete the quest.

The Mount Torta is found under the earth bridges near Viliera Hill.

Firstly, you’ll need to head back to Traveller’s Rest on the Bionis’ Leg and speak to Gerugu about the Mythical Empress. He will tell you to find the Empress’ Ornament to be used as proof that the Empress does in fact exist. To find the evidence, head over to Zax Guidepost and then walk a little south to a hole. When you drop down you will be in an elevated cavern in the Windy Cave area. You must defeat a level 30 Empress’ Daughter arachno-type enemy to obtain the proof needed. Once collected, head back to Pachipa in Frontier Village to complete the quest.

The Wisp Fluid is a bit of an uncommon drop so you may have to farm Colony Wisps for a while to get 5 lots. As soon as you’ve collected the required amount, take it to Ababa and have him drink it. Once again, Ababa likes the bug drink. Return to Deki to tell him the news, he will end up trying the wisp fluid for himself. The quest concludes with Deki loving the bug drink too!

Fast travel over to the Divine Sanctuary or Waypoint Beacon and make your way over to the small cliff ledge that faces Great Makna Falls (there should be a ! to guide you). When you’ve arrived at the point, you will notice that you have the option to make the offering but that it fails if there is no rainbow present. A rainbow should appear between the hours of 12:00 and 15:00. Once the rainbow has appeared, you will be able to make a successful offering and the Nopon Sage will appear.

Client Rewards Affinity
Cherri 8000G, 3000 EXP, Bleed Attack II, Bleed Defence IV 2✰

To activate this quest, you must have already completed The Master’s Successor, however, your choice in successor does not affect being able to pick this quest up.

He will give you a vague idea of where Gadada might be, for example he mentions Clear Waterfall and a deadend. You might be tempted to head straight for Clear Waterfall and navigate to the ! marker from there, however, the area that Gadada can be found in is raised and you can only get to it via the Nopon bridges. The bridges start from Village Entrance, and you just want to follow the bridges in a northeast direction until you reach an elevated area where you will find Gadada. When you reach him, it will trigger a cutscene where you discover that a High Entia has tricked him into handing over a Red Pollen Orb, which are rare and hard for the Nopon to make.

The quest objective says to find a “Suspicious Nopon” in Satorl Marsh. You may remember that when you completed the quest A Gift? you were instructed by Zazadan to deliver Highmore Caviar that was made from Red Pollen Orbs, to Debadeba. Head over to Glowing Obelisk in Satorl Marsh and walk north to Nopon Refuge to talk to Zazadan. Upon talking to him, you will activate the surprise quest, Gather Information.

  • “What happens if it’s processed?” - Zazadan will tell you that Red Pollen Orb becomes a highly addictive substance when processed. The addictive substance is Highmore Caviar, the “food” you made when you completed his quest, A Mysterious Delicacy.

  • “We don’t blame you” - Zazadan tells you that his secret Nopon society is selling the Highmore Caviar to High Entia because it is an easy way to make a lot of money.

  • “Ask where Debadeba is” - Zazadan cannot say where Debadeba is because the chairman will kill him!

Upon completion of the interrogation, you will receive an item labelled Zazadan’s Memo. After finishing Gather Information, head back to Gadada and give him the memo to complete Adviser Hunt.

This quest must be completed in order to progress with Destroying the City Trade.

Getting a Member’s Card - This Surprise Quest requires you to find a Secret Club Card so that you can access the club. You can obtain a Member’s Card from Nelo who is found near the Fountain of Hope from 18:00 to 06:00. He will lend you his card on the condition that you fetch him 3 Rufus Control Units from Orluga Rufus in the High Entia Tomb. They can be found specifically on the Tower of Trials and the material required is a fairly common drop so you shouldn’t have to farm for too long. Take the items back to Nelo so that you can retrieve the Member’s card and complete the Surprise Quest.

Once you have the Member’s card, head back to the Secret Club and show the Bouncer your new card. He will let you in and you can go and talk to Debadeba. You will witness a short cutscene where Debadeba is arrested. He confesses that he has been framed and is not the Kingpin. After the cutscene you can head back to Frontier Village and talk to Gadada to complete the quest.
