Iron City Fetch quest for Musician

[Hakipi]

Just killed the Pink Gremlin in Iron city and it took me ages, since its HP pool was tremendously large. Am I going to fight 2 other monsters with the same HP pool to collect the other items?

it doesn't really help that they don't explain this but basically it's based on how far you are in the story. i'd recommend finishing all three of the chakra gate areas first before doing the oud quest - i brute forced the one in tai krung city after finishing kaanul AND iron kingdom but it literally took me 30-40 minutes of ridiculous combos and consistently blocking the same attack and grab over and over again. it isn't worth it. just do the story and then go back and fight the other two enemies for the quest after you have the 3 chakra gates attuned and it'll be way less of a headache.
