The 5 quest steps

1. 1Talk to Pinh

   Dialogue[-25,-36] · Pinh

   The quest starts at the Treasure Chest, with Pinh, only on February 15, Méryde Guss's day. He offers you a treasure hunt.

   Dialogue

   1. “Give in to temptation”
   2. “Start Méryde Guss's treasure hunt”

   If another treasure hunt is in progress, daily or archaeological, finish it first: otherwise, you cannot start this one.

   

2. 2Start the treasure hunt

   [-25,-36]

   Start Méryde Guss's treasure hunt using the chest next to Pinh.

3. 3Follow the clues

   Movement

   Go to the indicated starting position, then look for the clue in the given direction: it is between 1 and 10 maps away in that direction. Place a marker on the clue you find, then look for the next one, over 3 or 4 steps to validate.

   A misplaced marker costs you an attempt. After 4 failures, the hunt is failed, and the quest with it: you can, however, restart it right away with Pinh, at [-25,-36].

4. 4Defeat the Treasure

   Combat

   At the end of the hunt, start the final fight to recover the treasure. It can be done in a group, but it is better to do it alone. The Treasure and its 4 Vigichests are invulnerable: you must hit the Vigichest with the different appearance.

Related quests

The quest does not unlock any other quest. It can be restarted the following year, always on February 15, to get more Guss treasures. Other Mérydes have their own hunt, such as Milivar Treasure Hunt.

When and where do you start the Guss Treasure Hunt?

Only on February 15, with Pinh at the Treasure Chest at [-25,-36]. It is today's Almanax bonus, from level 20.

Why won't the hunt start?

Another treasure hunt is probably in progress, daily or archaeological. Finish it first.

How do you beat the Treasure?

Hit the Vigichest that is on 4 legs as many times as the Treasure has HP. It changes places at every hit; hitting the wrong chest costs about 500 HP, and the third mistake knocks you out.

What if the hunt fails?

Restart it with Pinh, at [-25,-36]. After 4 missed markers, the hunt and the quest fail, but the quest can be restarted right away.

What is in the Guss Chest?

1 Kamoken and 3 Guss's Aging Cream, plus a random Guss's Thought or Magus Ax's Travel Journal.
