So, I do the usual and pluck them from the bush and a nasty appears and seems to self inflate and disintegrate.

I have done over ten different bushes and at least six monsters are destroyed before I even see them with a bang.

Tis' crazy...
Thanks in advance

They're not supposed to explode. Have you reduced any combat difficulty options? I'm only guessing, but that might be causing it if you have?

[Soutalgon]

how the fck do i get this done? I'm 0/3 still

[mister_lobos]

i did this one by accident..
just 'mine' some stuff underwater, eventually ghostly jelly fish pop out.. i just hit them with the mine beam as well, and they pop fairly quickly, after doing this to 3 of them, boom milestone complete. (how the heck they are "monstrosities" i do not know)

The jellyfish didn't work. allegedly recently patched.

Is it supposed to be the Eyeball guys, or the hadal core things?

Its the anglerfish one

[Mandrake]

No, it must be a weird patch thing. I did it and it worked fine. Scan for the little red 'double dot' icons under water... go pluck a few of the 'angler fish' light balls until it explodes out to get you, then kill it. Takes 3 of them.

When I did it over the weekend, all I did was swim to position over one of the plants, then shoot any biologic entities nearby. It was nighttime and so dark I couldn't really even see what I was shooting at, afaik it was just regular underwater fish/animals that happened to pass in range close enough for me to make out movement to shoot at. Three bursts of shots, quest done.

5.03 patch "fixed" the issue of being able to achieve this with any underwater predator including the jellyfish.
You now must use Alluring Specimens to harvest Hadal Cores and trigger the Anglerfish. It is possible they introduced a new bug with the Anglerfish that will need to be patched too.

[Harry]

Thanks all for the info and ideas. very much appreciated.
Nothing at all has worked that has been suggested.... YET!

I'll try again in a little bit and see if there is any progress.

Its sooo annoying

[Harry]

ALl works now oddly. First angel fish again kind of blew up without my assistance. But the others came and task done.

Cheers again all :) :)

The only 'trick' I found was that the angler fish don't spawn for every hadal core harvested. You may have to swim around the 'pot' and get them all.

Yer, usually. I ended up with 40 glowing Hadal Cores and still no joy. Tonight it sorted its self out

Swim under water with your visor on (press F). It will show you alluring species at a range of around 300-350.
These have harvest-able "fruit" that you can pick (press E). Sometimes you have to pick two of these to stir the monster.
