Horntail pre-quest guide

[Catzi]

【 Difference in Yuna MS】
✲ No need to re-do HT pre-quest every time after you leave the cave! (But need to complete the quest：「Badge of a Squad Member」so that you can enter the cave whenever you want)
✲ No need of 「Manon’s cry」 for pre-quest!
————————————
【 Requirement】
Level：80+
NPC：Chief Tatamo

Place：Leafre
————————————
Quest 1：Moria’s whereabout
Talk to 「Chief Tatamo」and head to 「Cave of life - Entrance」. Talk to Moria to finish quest.

Quest 2：Secret medicine for transformation
NPC：Moria

Need collect 4 etc and hand it to Moria



【 Important Tips】
1. Don’t finish the quest before you collect all certificate for 「Badge of a Squad Member」
(Because first time you finish the quest, you transform immediately instead of receiving a Dragon Elixir. And if you don’t have the 3 certificate, you need to redo this quest again.
2. No need of Steel plate and Mithril plate to craft 「Cornian’s dagger」, the mobs drop this item.
3. No need of 「Manon’s cry」.
————————————
Extra Quest：Badge of a Squad Member

Procedure：Collect Zakum、Papulatus、Pianus Certificate first -> Finish HT pre-Quest 2 -> transform to dragon and enter the cave -> kill mobs in cave to get Mark of squad 1、2、3 -> Go out of cave and finish HT Extra quest -> done!

How do you get Mark of the Squad 3? The Green Cornians in Cave of Life: Room of Maze only drops the first two.

Should be from the Skelegons in Maze Room 5 I believe it is? Whoever is doing the quest should be the one clearing the 5 rooms to ensure that they get all of the Marks.

Ahhhhh I see. So you can't do this alone then.

Some tips that were shared with me:

Upon handing in the quest for transform elixers, and being transformed for the first time, make sure to accept the Badge of a Squad Member. This quest was not available until we handed in the previous quest.
So after transforming, it becomes available.

For HTPQ, we simply started the PQ and took turns doing the following:
- Collected the 1st mark of the squad from the first mobs you encounter in the PQ.
- Entered the top left portal, into the first room, to collect the 2nd and 3rd marks.
- Exit the PQ and re-start it for the next party member to then collect marks.

Thus, you can skip the rest of the PQ.
