Let the sleeping mountain Lie Quest?

[Inertialbee17]

I found the turtle and suddenly a counter showed up and I'm supposed to flee the moving mountain...and in split seconds "Talk to ...someone...to join the hunt" The Quest vanished???
what happened???

It was just the introduction quest to the Adamantoise hunt.

You aren't supposed to fight it during the quest, you're supposed to (understandably) run away from the "surprise" of a giant mountain sized turtle.

The quest didn't actually "vanish", you just completed it.

The hunt to actually defeat the adamantoise is given in Hammerhead at the tipster. Do note, the fight takes a very long time (have seen mentions of hours long) if you don't use the ring of the lucii to insta-kill with holy. Even then I've had it take up to 120 uses of the ring to finally fire holy..

Oh I see, thank you :D I try to join every hunt for money, but since its annoying and takes long, I guess I could pass

It is worth doing at least once. Just wait til you can (SPOILER) it in chapter 15 and it shouldn't take too long to do.

I actually farmed it for adamantite for the FFX!V colab weapons with Lasagna al Forno and moogle charms on because it is decent XP once you get the (SPOILER) killing down.

It also rewards Adamantite Bangle (10k HP accessory) for the first completeion.
