Rider Reports 1 Subquest Details

The Rider Reports 1 subquest can be started by speaking to the Protective Rider standing near the entrance to the Hall of Rites in Hakum Village. He’ll tell the Rider about reports he’s received mentioning the Cunning Raptor and then ask you to take care of it as a newly minted rider.

How to Complete the Rider Reports 1 Subquest

To find the Cunning Raptor, you’ll need to exit the village to reach Pondry Hills. From there, head north through the hills, following along the main white road. Just before you reach the lake, take a left at the split following along a worn-out path in the grass passing a rock on your left. When you reach the next rock on your right, take a left up the grass hill towards the stone overhang, The Cunning Raptor can be found around that area.

Before engaging the Monster, make sure to have plenty of healing items as this guy hits hard. Another Monstie or two could also help make the fight a little easier. The Cunning Raptor will use speed attacks for a majority of the fight so make sure you counter it using technical attacks of your own. Once the raptor gets knocked down, loses a head-to-head, or starts showing signs that it’s almost dead, its next attack will be a power one, so you’ll want to switch to a speed attack when that happens. To deal some good damage, wait for it to get knocked down then use your kinship skill. Once the raptor has been defeated, return to the Protective Rider to give your report completing the subquest.
