Side Quest: Hunt Club

After completing the series of events in Archades, talk to the Huntmaster at the Phon Coast Hunters’ Camp to join the Hunt Club. Joining requires a Thalassinon be tracked down and defeated in the Vaddu Strand.

The Vaddu Strand is east of the Hunters’ Camp, and Thalassinon can only be spotted from high elevations. Go to the east end of the Vaddu Strand and climb the small ledge that overlooks the beach. Remain at its peak until the Thalassinon appears. Defeat it and return the Shelled Trophy to the Huntmaster.

Upon completion, speak to one of the three brothers (formerly referred to as Shady Bangaas). Agree to their proposition before speaking to the Huntmaster again.

The objective of Hunt Club is to find 30 rare monsters throughout Ivalice and defeat them. Each defeated monster will drop a trophy which can then be traded to Atak, Stok, and Blok to unlock items in the Shifty-Eyed Merchant’s store. Unfortunately, because only 30 trophies exist in total, it is impossible to unlock all items. Choose wisely!
