Bouquet's bestiary

Discover how to complete Bouquet's Bestiary in Crusader Kings III! Learn about finding rare enemies like Okamemask and the final boss, Gold Escargoo.

Hey there! So, you want to help Bouquet fill out her UMA (that's enemy, by the way!) book in Crusader Kings III? It's a pretty neat side-quest that pops up after you've freed her. She's a bit of a math whiz, and her letters can be super confusing with all the equations, but don't worry, I'll break it down for you.

Basically, once Bouquet is back at the Princess Manor, she'll send you a letter. It's her way of asking you to fill out this bestiary. You actually get a book from her that acts as your in-game reference for all the creatures you encounter. Since you've probably already fought some baddies before freeing her, a good chunk of the book will likely be filled already. To get new entries, you just need to fight an enemy you've never seen before. Honestly, just playing the game normally and patiently will get you most of the way there, with about 52 out of 53 entries filled naturally.

However, there's one tricky one: the Okamemask. This guy is a bit of a rare spawn. You'll need to keep an eye out for him near the Skull Plains Lake, but only at night. He looks like a reaper wearing a traditional Japanese mask. Don't overthink it; a single arrow shot is all it takes to add him to your book once you spot him. Just keep checking the area, and you'll eventually find him.

The Final UMA: Gold Escargoo

Once you're down to just one entry left in your book (entry #21, to be exact), Bouquet will give you another quest. This one is to find the ultimate enemy in the game: the Gold Escargoo!

Bouquet's instructions for this one involve another cryptic formula, but the gist is that you need to head to the Bony Tunnel. Inside, you'll find something you can dig into. Once you've dug it open, you'll find a hidden opening in the wall. Head through there, and you'll enter a massive cave filled with regular Escargoos. Your job is to defeat all of them. After you've cleared them out, the shiny Gold Escargoo will appear.

This golden fella moves pretty fast, kind of like Onii Metals, but the good news is it always stops right in front of you before it attacks, giving you a moment to react. With your men's health in good shape, it's not too tough to take down. If you're worried about taking too much damage, your best bet is to rely on your hunters to do most of the work.

After you defeat the Gold Escargoo, you'll exit the Bony Tunnel to find Bouquet waiting for you. She'll express some relief, as her calculations suggested a high chance of danger. She'll be happy to be proven wrong and thrilled that you've managed to gather 100% of the UMA data. Her final words to you? You're awesome! As a reward for your efforts, you'll receive a piece of Great Stationary: the Fountain Pen, which is worth a whopping 1,320,000 Bol.
