Tracks Quest Summary
Chapter One: Azuria
Gaul's Palico, Murray, reports to the Rangers that tracks of Feral Monsters have been found near the loop.
The Prince/Princess and Simon head over there to investigate and successfully slay multiple Velocidrome and a Gypceros.
Relieved that they could protect this meaningful place, the two relax and entertain thoughts of the future. However, Simon senses an ill omen looming on the horizon.
Tracks Walkthrough
[1] Listen to Gaul and Murray's Findings.
Thea's introduction to the Rite of Channeling is postponed as Murray and Gaul arrive. They share urgent news about the sightings of Feral Monsters.
[2] Investigate the Feral Monsters' Tracks.
The player, along with Simon, must cross the Mirror Lake to reach the marked location on Broadleaf Basin.
As Simon investigates the nearby tracks, Rudy and the Prince/Princess head further into the forest.
[3] Defeat Fire & Ice Feral Velocidrome.
Two Feral Velocidrome ambush them when they reach the next area.

Players have to do this fight solo! It’s recommended to focus on taking down one creature at a time.
[4] Defeat Feral Gypceros.
Just as the last enemy falls, a Feral Gypceros swoops in for another battle. It's a good thing that Simon arrives to lend a hand.

Keep in mind that players have to start this round with the health and status they had at the end of the last fight.
The Feral Gypceros can also apply Poison and Darkness ailment with its Backlash and Skills. Watch closely if any team members or Monsties are affected by this.
