The townsfolk will be waiting outside the village, waiting for you to slay the Chocobo Eater
Be ready for one of the harder bosses in the game
Who you get it from: Brella, the woman hanging outside the monorail station.
When you can obtain the quest: After completing Main Quest 3-3 and after your Chocobo has been fully healed.
Rewards for completion: 4200 gil, Odin’s Horn x1, Gagnrad x1, Max HP +150, Strength +16, Magic +12
Instructions for completion: Prior to meeting with Brella, you need to emerge from the station, either by looking at the Canvas of Prayers or by arriving via monorail from Luxerion.
