After completing these quests, Kanya will introduce the Razzle Dazzle quest, which is crucial for unlocking the Monster (Squid) Hunter trophy or achievement:
- Location: Scarlet Forest, Area 17.
- Weather: Downpour in Inclemency. Use the grill or rest at camp to change conditions if necessary.
- Action: Walk into the deep end of the lake until you can't go further. Look for squids swimming around. If none appear, fast travel to another location and return.
- Equipment: Use the Tentacle Jig provided by Kanya.
- Target: While the quest requires catching the Grand Escunite, your goal for the trophy/achievement is the Goliath Squid. Look for squids with glowing blue shells.
- Reeling: Once you hook a squid and the reeling minigame starts, you're on the right track. Keep fighting until the squid tires, then reel it in close to the shore to claim your prize and unlock the trophy or achievement.
