How the hell do I get an electrosac>

[Cockroach]

Is it from killing or trapping the monster or rewards on one of those?
do tell

[Ottomic]

Wiki is your friend.

But yeah it's a tobi kadachi reward. Quest and investigation (gold and silver) reward.

[Azure Fang]

Kodachi, especially capture and gold investigation rewards.

after hunting the monster a few times you go to the guy sitting on top of a pile of books to update the research level of the monster.
there and in your menu you can look at all that unlocked info which will also include all the carves and reward parts. sacs would be with capture but is still random

Hey do I place the tinged meat in a trap? is that the way it works?

Also, what is a gold and silver reward? I just do the quest on optional?

u will see a skull icon in your minimap if a monster is low hp enough to be captured. to capture it, you will need to deploy shock or pitfall trap. once it's trapped, use tranquilizer bombs x2 and voila!

Argosy is your best friend when it comes to getting a sac.

[Friends with Benedicts]

I believe tailraider safaris and Astergo Argosy brings sacs when he brings materials. I mispelled that hard and I blame the drugs

Anyway, doing investigations is the best choice when you want to farm a monster.

[tag545]

the bonus reward bronze, silver, gold, other are from investigations which are hunts not related to the main quest which give bonus rewards while sometimes giving added restrictions. less time, multiple monsters, requiring capture ect. those come from the group of three at the bottom floor near the shop and book pile man.

to capture first you need to max out your flies tracking during a hunt by collecting tracks, so they can show you when the monster is near death on the map with the skull
you can also just look at the monster and see if it tries to limp away to go to sleep to know that it is weak enough.

then you will need a trap and to hit the monster anywhere twice with a tranq bomb.
if the monster is asleep you can also do the reverse and trap it after the bombs to instantly capture it without risk of being interupted and having it escape before you finish.

be ready to throw a third tranq bomb incase of something going wrong and delaying your second throw. the tranq bombs actually fill in an invisible meter that slowly starts ticking down if you take too long to throw the second one. (happens more in coop with randoms or when there is a second monster harassing you)

[Cockroach]

So the gold quests are investigations?
Or you have to trap them?

[tag545]

main and optional quests are more for story progression and unlocking stuff in the hub world.

trapping is something you can do in any quest other than a "slay" quest (capturing a monster is fine even if it says to hunt it) to focus more on getting certain rewards from the monster vs what you get from carving. you decide what to do by checking the monster biography that you unlock from hunting the monster multiple times and talking to book man.


the bronze, silver, gold rewards are an extra set of rewards specifically for doing an investigation mission on top of what you get from hunting or capturing the monster.

Trapping will give more rewards and if I'm not mistaken, sometimes the trapped monster will end up in the Arena, where you can trap him again.

You can use Tail rider safari and hopefully gain some elec sac.

So should I trap to try and get the electrosac?

kill or capture a tobi kadachi gives you a chance for electrosac. capturing monsters give out better rewards. so yeah, capture a tobi kadachi for a better chance for electro sacs
