[1] Search for Kirito
At the Main Terminal, Iori meets up with you and says that Kirito should be where the Trampling Ox spawns. Thus, the two of you head over to the area.
The two of you will start in an ruined building. There is a door to your left which leads to the outside
Once outside, follow the waypoint to the next objective. Feel free to explore this area and pick up some loot along the way. Also, remember to rest in Safe Areas to know the layout of the map.

After a long trek, you and Iori will spot the Trampling Ox's spawn area.
Kirito does not seem to be there, but since you are, might as well start ox hunting season and get some materials. Prepare yourself and then access the area.
[2] Defeat the Trampling Ox
The Trampling Ox spots you both and starts attacking. Like the other bosses lately, it has a second phase that starts when its horn is cut off. Defeat it to continue!

After killing the boss, Zash finds you and Iori. Unfortunately, neither group has found Kirito yet.
While catching up, another Trampling Ox appears, probably wanting some revenge. The party gets ready for a fight, only for the boss to fall dead by someone else.
From the smoke, Zash believes it to be Kirito...
But it's actually someone else. Someone who goes by many names. Mountain Slayer, Thunder Lion, the Chocolate Axe. But most call him...Tiff—er, Agil!

Agil recognizes you from the raid. When asked about Kirito, he says he saw him heading to the plains west of Urbus in a hurry.
With that info, Zash decides to keep looking for Kirito but Iori decides to head back to town first. The three of you will meet up later to continue the search.
