Notable Answers

Dingaling (Beginner Q7): Rank C, Material family. The night requirement on Fert Isle makes it the most timing-sensitive answer. Plan a Zoom to Fert Isle at night specifically for this.

Great Argon Lizard (Advanced Q4): Scout on uncharted islands or Fert Isle. If you cannot reach uncharted islands yet, Fert Isle works.

Cannibox (Advanced Q7): Scout at Palaish Isle Shrine. That is a specific dungeon location.
