Notes

  • The Qiqirn Pecheur in this zone all drop a Willow Fishing Rod or a Fly Lure, but given the time constraint and uncertainty of fishing up the Orobon, it is highly suggested to bring your own rod and lure/bait.
  • The goal of this assault is to fish up an Orobon NM and return the item you receive to the NPC at the start.
  • Fishing at any point in the map will net one of the following monsters: Orobon, Pugil, Pugil, Crab, Kraken. It all depends on luck
  • It is possible that the first thing you fish at the starting point can be the Orobon (verified, first hand encounter).
  • No fishing skill is needed.
  • The Orobon will only be fished at a certain point on the map.
  • There are 4 NPC fisherman also on the map. At first they will be dismissive toward you. Once you fish up 4 or 5 enemies, they will change text.
  • NPC speech will read along the lines of either "this area is no good" or "I've got a good feeling about this area."
    • Only one NPC will say they like their area, continue fishing at this NPC.
  • After 4 or 5 more enemies fished, the NPC will start giving more specific locations, something along the lines of "to the North is a good spot."
  • The Orobon has a fairly large amount of HP, plus usual Orobon moves that can silence, plauge, slow, and other nasty debuffs.
  • Whomever deals the killing blow will automatically receive the athapot to return to the NPC.

Walkthrough

  • Have two or three people fishing at a time, if you can handle it, fish at different NPCs, or have other party members out at other NPCs.
  • Once the NPC dialog changes, finding the proper NPC is priority.
  • You can fish up the Orobon without NPC text changing. People have been lucky and fished up only after finding the proper NPC, but without details.
  • Kill the Orobon
