Head back in to the next objective marker and you’ll a signpost near a small stone structure. Smash the ground to find Jacob stuck in paralyzing plants. There’s another sign inside, showing the way out. Smash the wall to the South and carry Jacob back to town.

To cure both you need to get Fresh Water and a Tingle Tablet. Fresh Water can be found in the corner of town by the blue crystal that creates water. Use a bucket to scoop it up. First you need to build The Watering Hole. Check Casey’s side quest for information on that. The Tingle Tablet needs Cod. If you head through the Blue Teleportal and head to the prickly area with all the paralyzing plants, fish deep in there. It’s a 50% catch rate for Sardine & Cod during the day but appears to be 100% Cod at night. You get Paralystinger’s from the Killerpillar’s.

You need to have the Brick Barbecue made in the kitchen. You can get potatos from the area inside the Castle in the Red Teleportal, this area is also the best place to catch Salmon for the Sauteed Salmon she wants next. Finally she wants a Bouillabaisse which is easy except for maybe Wheat. If you haven’t found Wheat yet head through the Red Teleportal and check the cliffs up behind you.

The second NPC you have to rescue wasn’t actually marked on my map, but Mildred is easy enough to find. Head through the Red Teleportal and follow the waterway North. Take your first right and Mildred is sitting in some ruins. Mildred wants Cooked Crab Claw, A Baguette and a Super Salad.

Gerontius Side Quest 16
Quest: The Final Battle
Quest Guide: You need to defeat the Hades Condor. This isn’t a very difficult fight but it’s a long one. Make sure you have the Falcon Blade and Chain Mail, accessories help as you’ll be hit with poison, paralyze and confuse. As with The Golem boss fight you’ll fight alone and anything outside of your town parameters is removed.

You’ll want a minimum of 2 Ballista’s and some dirt. When the Hades Condor spawns you’ll notice a path created through the poison, this is where most of your battle will take place. You need to build the 2 Ballista’s 3 high, so on top of 2 high stacks of dirt, aimed at where the Condor spawns. He has several abilities. Summoning allies, simply chop them down. A large green AoE, a real pain that can destroy your Ballista’s, a tornado that throws you around the area and a paralyze blast.

It’s a battle of attrition really. Bring plenty of healing items. Whenever it says he is resting his wings, use both Ballista’s to take him down. During the other waves stand away from the Ballista’s to protect them from the AoE attack and wipe out the additional enemies.
