Walkthrough for "A Nationwide Scandal" in Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom, covering the Mossy Monument and Longfang boss fights, and the subsequent story progression.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Defeat Mossy Monument: This boss has a three-hit melee combo, a charge attack, and can fire projectiles. Dodge its attacks, heal when necessary, and strike when opportunities arise. You will receive a Watery Barrage Bow as a spoil.
  2. 2
    Loot the area: After the fight, find a chest on the western side containing an Elite Sorcerer’s Ring.
  3. 3
    Higgledy Stone: In the northeast corner, find a higgledy stone that requests Gunkshrooms. Hand them over to recruit Mutton-Bane the Mushy.
  4. 4
    Return to Goldpaw: Teleport back to Fortune Square and present the evidence to Pugnacius.
  5. 5
    Prepare for Trial: Speak with Mandarin (Pugnacius's assistant) to begin the trial, which leads directly into the next boss fight.
  6. 6
    Defeat Longfang: This boss fight has a tutorial explaining realmwrecker weak spots (glowing balls of energy).
  7. 7
    Initial Phase: Longfang will jump back and rain rocks. Destroy these rocks to spawn higmakers.
  8. 8
    Higmaker Barrier: Step into the gold circle that appears when enough higmakers are present and press X to summon a barrier that protects from fire damage.
  9. 9
    Close Range Attacks: When Longfang is at the arena, attack its paws, especially the one with the weak spot. It can slam its paws down, but these are slow and easy to dodge. It can also breathe fire across the ground in front of it.
  10. 10
    Ranged Attacks: When Longfang roars, fire will spew from ground craters. Avoid standing near these. It can also fire a large beam of fire down the center of the arena; stand to the sides to avoid it.
  11. 11
    Weak Spot Strategy: Hit the glowing weak spots to make Longfang reel back and fall to the ground. While stunned, attack its head for maximum damage.
  12. 12
    Story Progression: After defeating Longfang, story scenes will play, and Pugnacius will return the forest to Niall.
  13. 13
    Report to Niall: Teleport back to Sunnypatch Pond in the Forest of Niall to inform him of the good news. You will learn about the Horned One.
  14. 14
    Begin Kingdom Building: The focus shifts to building the new kingdom of Evemore.
