■ WalkthroughWALKTHROUGH
- Have Alicia accompany you
Talk to Alicia at the Guild and agree to investigate the forest again.
- Head toward the dome in Forest 2
Use the transporter in Forest 1 to reach Forest 2. Defeat enemies and advance Alicia's investigation dialogue. Also inspect the weather observation terminal area.
- Talk to the baby Hildebear
Talk to the baby Hildebear when you find it in Forest 2. Continue the nearby battles and investigation, then return when you can talk to it again.
- Hear Alicia's final question
Answer Alicia's question about taking the baby with her and continue until she says she will return to Pioneer 2. Either answer leads to the return dialogue.
- Return and collect the reward
After Alicia's return dialogue, go back to Pioneer 2 and collect the reward at the Guild counter. To receive the Moon Atomizer from the light, return to the baby Hildebear before ending the quest at the counter.
■ TipsTIPS
Do not leave immediately after first finding the baby. Continue through the final conversation after the investigation.
The quest fails if Alicia's HP reaches zero in battle. Keep an eye on her HP and prevent enemies from surrounding her.
Make space in your inventory before examining the Moon Atomizer's light. If the inventory-full message appears, you cannot try to collect it again during that run of the quest.
■ The baby Hildebear and the Moon AtomizerEXTRA
- Leave one free inventory slot.
- When Alicia asks whether she should take the baby to Pioneer 2, choose the option saying it is not a good idea.
- Talk to the baby Hildebear again. After its growling dialogue, look for the light that appears in Forest 2.
- Approach the light to receive one Moon Atomizer. Collect it before ending the quest at the counter.
