Guide
Striders can be found pretty much on any named location with low to medium danger. They are red mobs and easy to distinguish. They have a low hp pool, which makes them extremely vulnerable and easy targets.
Part 2 Dialogue
Not bad. I’m always in need of samples from the surface for our research. See if you can get me some of these.
Objectives
- Deliver 3 Waterweed Filaments
Rewards

Guide
In the image below, the location where you can find the Waterweed Filaments is highlighted. They spawn at the northeast side of the map.
The good thing about this game is that you do not need to worry about returning the items manually. Instead, the game takes the items from your inventory by default. So even if you are not aware of your pickups, if you’ve picked a quest item, it transfers directly towards the quest.
Part 3 Dialogue
My team has seen an increase in Strider population in the Bright Sands Swamp; take down some of those creatures and return with the right samples.
Objectives
- Visit the Swamp on Bright Sands
- Hunt 5 Striders in the Swamp on Bright Sands
- Deliver 3 Spinal Bases
Rewards

The first two objectives are straightforward, and they require you to visit the Swamp on Bright Sands and hunt 5 Striders at the same location. Spinal Bases can be obtained by eliminating any creature.
Part 4 Dialogue
Brightcaps are a marvel, one of only a handful of organisms originating from Earth to mutate into something new. Get me fresh samples, and get rid of the Blast Ticks that feast on them while you’re at it.

Guide
Keep in mind that you need to eliminate only Red Blast Ticks. The green does not apply to this quest. As for the Brightcap Mushrooms, they can be found inside the water around the Swamp area. Check the image below to see the Red Blast Ticks Spawns.
We need to run some tests on how the creatures of Fortuna III identify each other, how they tell friend from foe. These samples should advance our research.
