How to Complete the Living on the Edge Subquest

To complete this subquest, exit the village to reach the Pondry Hills then head to the Whistill Forest (on the east side of the hills). There you’ll find the Bullfango that looks like a wild boar. There are a couple of areas that make up the forest, so bounce between them to find them.

The monster uses power attacks, so make sure to bring a speed-based Monstie and respond with some speed attacks of your own. One thing to note about the Bullfango is that sometimes it will use Power Charge which increases the damage of its next attack. Once you’ve defeated 5 of them the quest will be ready to turn in. Head back to the Quest Board in the village to receive your reward!

Rewards
