Welcome to NGB and our Monster Hunter Stories guide on the A Spoonful of Sugar subquest. In this guide, we’ll go over all of the subquest details along with how you can complete the subquest. Happy subquesting Rider!
A Spoonful of Sugar Subquest Details
You can pick up the A Spoonful of Sugar subquest in Kakum village by speaking with the Quiet Lad standing near the cliff to the left of your house. He’ll inform you that the Bitterbug stores bitter extract that can be used in making medicine and then request that you bring him some so he can give it to someone.
How to Complete A Spoonful of Sugar Subquest
To complete this subquest, you’ll need to collect 2 Bitterbugs for the Quiet Lad. You can do this by exiting the village to reach the Pondry Hills. Once you are there, search the area for butterflies and collect all of the ones you find. They have a chance of being a Bitterbug. You can tend to find them flying around near flowers on the ground (not the ones you collect, other flowers added in as part of the scenery). It may take a while to find some, so just keep circling the Pondry Hills until you collect the two you need. After they are in your possession, return to the village and deliver them to the Quiet Lad to complete the subquest and receive your reward.
An easy way to do this is to travel to Mt. Pondry Caves northwest of the lake in the northern part of Pondry Hills. There are two flowers with a bug just outside the cave and along the path to the right. Collect the bug then head into the caves and go back outside. This will respawn the bug allowing you to collect it multiple times by creating this process until you get 2 Bitterbugs.
Rewards
Upon completing this subquest, you’ll be rewarded with a single Demondrug and 750 Zenny.
