Gathering Storm Quest Summary
Chapter One: Azuria
By a royal decree, Riders all over Azuria begin to gather at the border with Vermeil to strengthen surveillance and security.
Tasked with surveying the border, the Rangers proceed to the Ancient Battlegrounds, where they slay a Glavenus that has been artificially altered.
Worried about the implications, the Prince/Princess prepares to meet the envoys from Vermeil.
Gathering Storm Walkthrough
[1] Go to the Southern Gate of Azuria Castle.
The group returns at the Base after completing the "Feral Monster" Quest. Proceed to the southern gate to progress the Main Story.
| Point of Interest | Image | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Smithy |  | Near the Gate, players can forge and upgrade equipment at the Smithy. Upgrading weapons and armor to max level will grant decorations related to that equipment. |
| Monster Den |  | Caves in the wild are entrances to Monster Dens where players can get Monster Eggs. Collect and hatch them at the Stable to get more Monstie allies. Keep an eye out for Rare and Super Rare Dens as they often contain Monster Eggs that have extremely valuable genes. |
| Catavan Stand |  | Remember to check the area for any nearby Catavan Stands! |
Players can also take a detour to complete these available Side Quests along the path to the next objective:
| Side Quest | Image | Difficulty | Related NPC |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vineyard Vandalism |  | 1 Star | Deep Thinker |
| Hate to Bug Mew, But… |  | 1 Star | Bug-Hating Felyne |

[2] Head to the Ancient Battlegrounds.
Upon reaching the marked location for the Quest Objective, Simon suggests that the group observe the situation from the overlook.
[3] Go behind the Ancient Battlegrounds.
Circle around the area and follow Simon to avoid getting caught.
After passing through the Catavan Stand, keep heading straight for a cutscene.
[4] Defeat the Honed Glavenus.
When Simon charges toward the Glavenus without a Rider, the team is forced into a fight with this creature.
Once the Honed Glavenus starts to behave strangely, a body part starts to become Heated.
| No. | Combat Tips for Honed Glavenus |
|---|---|
| 1 | The Monster starts with Speed attacks, use Technical skills to gain advantage. |
| 2 | Focus on which Part is Heated when the Glavenus is Enraged. It indicates the monster's current attack type: Throat (Heated) - Technical Tail (Heated) - Power |
[5] Return to the Base.
Head back to Azuria Castle after investigating the defeated Honed Glavenus. This objective is easier now since Fast Travel is unlocked!
Interacting with Rudy at the Base starts the next Quest, "The Princess of Vermeil".
