This quest, "The Measure of a Man," is a neat little challenge that pops up once you've learned a specific Pep Power. You'll only see it if you've got the 'Buff-Buff' Pep Power, which requires the Hero and Jade to have learned certain skills. Specifically, the Hero needs 'Unbridled Blade' from the Greatswords skill tree, and Jade comes with 'Puff-Puff' already learned. Don't worry if you haven't gotten these yet, just keep progressing through the game and leveling up your characters!

Walkthrough

1
Where to Start: Head to the town of Lonalulu during Act II. Make sure you've learned the 'Buff-Buff' Pep Power, which can be activated when both the Hero and Jade are Pepped Up.
2
Finding the Quest Giver: Once you're in Lonalulu and have the Pep Power ready, go to the tavern. Look for a man who's gazing out at the sea. He's the one who'll give you the quest. He wants you to prove the power of 'Buff-Buff' by defeating a specific enemy.
3
The Target: The man wants you to take down a 'Night Clubber.' These are the pink, somewhat intimidating monsters you'll be looking for.
4
Locating the Enemy: To find Night Clubbers, you'll need to sail west from Lonalulu to a place called Insula Incognita. Once you're on the island, head towards the southeast part of the area. That's where you'll find these enemies.
5
Executing the Pep Power: Engage a Night Clubber in battle. The key here is to wait until the Night Clubber's name appears in orange on the screen. This indicates it's weakened. Now, you need to use the 'Buff-Buff' Pep Power and ensure it lands the killing blow. The attack should hit for around 500 HP or more, so make sure your characters are strong enough.
6
Reporting Back: After successfully defeating the Night Clubber with the 'Buff-Buff' Pep Power, return to the man in the Lonalulu tavern. Talk to him to report your success and complete the quest.

Tips

Make sure 'Buff-Buff' is the move that finishes off the Night Clubber. If another attack lands the killing blow, the quest won't register as complete.
You need both the Hero and Jade to be Pepped Up to use the 'Buff-Buff' Pep Power. Keep an eye on your party's status!
