Walkthrough
- 1Talk to Ogden in any city to start the quest "The Truth Unfolds."
- 2You will be transported to Galyad for a scene revealing the target.
- 3Fast travel to the "Camp: Glacial Caps" Catavan Stand.
- 4Head west up a trail, then climb ledges north to find the Exotic Nibelsnarf's habitat.
- 5A scene will play, explaining that the monster is subterranean and doesn't rely on sight.
- 6Roam the area and look for round depressions (dirt pits).
- 7Stand on a dirt pit with a Monstie that has the roar ability (like Ratha) and use it.
- 8Repeat this process, moving from pit to pit, until the Exotic Nibelsnarf appears.
- 9Go to high ground on the southern edge of the area.
- 10Roar with your Monstie from this perch; the Exotic Nibelsnarf will emerge and dive into a pit.
- 11Predict which pit the Nibelsnarf will dive into next and stand on it to initiate the fight. The monster's path is: northernmost pit → east → south → middle → westernmost pit → northwest pit.
Tips
- The Exotic Nibelsnarf is lured by using a Monstie's roar ability on dirt pits.
- To start the fight, you must anticipate which pit the Nibelsnarf will dive into after it emerges and stand on that specific pit.
- In combat, exploit the Nibelsnarf's weakness to Power attacks when it uses Technique attacks.
- When the Nibelsnarf burrows, you must guess which of the three mounds it will emerge from. Guessing correctly leads to a topple and a Synchrorush. Guessing incorrectly results in taking damage.
- Fill your Kinship gauge to almost guarantee victory.
- Completing Ogden's fourth side story unlocks Plessie, the Green Plesioth Monstie.
- A cutscene provides closure to Ogden's side stories.
