Along the way, you may encounter Gajau in Sector 9 just before you reach Sector 10 but will still need to continue along the way to get at least 7 kills as more Gajau are present in that sector.

Once you reach Sector 10, there should be more than enough Gajau and you may easily kill them complete the quest.

Tips

  • Gajau can be lured out of the water which may cause them to get stuck on the land, allowing you to easily kill them as they are vulnerable.
  • Be sure to avoid getting surrounded, as several Gajau have a habit of teaming up on their prey which may prove difficult for newer hunters.
  • Using a long ranged weapon can make the efforts of the Gajau useless, giving the advantage of shooting the small monsters from afar.
