Grimalkin

The section provides an overview of how to track down and defeat the Notorious Mark for the Grimalkin Hunt.
In-Game Description
“Just off the Sickle—the road that leads from Dalimil to the Jaw—lies a dead-end canyon into which travelers moving at night are wont to stray, providing a constant supply of sustenance for a feline most foul. With the daytime desert heat ever its own threat to life, and merchants ever mindful not to waste their last shards of crystal on the lighting of lamps, only the monster’s demise might save them.”
Unlock Conditions
This hunt is available after you’ve spoken to the residents at the Hideaway during the Out of the Shadow Main Scenario Quest.
Notorious Mark Location
Travel to The Jaw or the
Dalimil Inn Obelisk and follow the trail south back to the split path. Head south into an area called “The Sickle” and head towards the end of the cave to find a group of dogs (“Wild Nakks”) loitering.

Battle Tactics
Notorious Mark Battle

Class: XXX
HP: XXX
This is another battle against a cat-type enemy similar to the one against the Republican War Panther, except that it begins with a fight against three separate groups of Wild Nakks. Don’t blow through all of your powerful multi-target Eikonic Abilities right off the bat, because this is a relatively lengthy fight.
After the Wild Nakks are defeated, you’ll face off against the Grimalkin, which, as mentioned, is just another cat-type enemy. It has the same attacks as the Republican War Panther, which are outlined below:
“The cat’s attacks will come quickly, with it often jumping across the map and lunging forward with its claws, but it typically winds up before attacking, giving you plenty of time to dodge. Using Will-o’-the-Wykes can be helpful until you get used to its attack pattern.
The most challenging one to get used to is its spinning attack; you can tell when it’s about to use this attack because it will jump backwards and scrape the ground twice with its hind leg.
The only other attack to be mindful of is its “Savage” attack, which involves a flurry of claw-based attacks that need to be dodged in succession.”

Next Steps
Don’t forget to climb the nearby ledge to grab the treasure coffer in the area where the Grimalkin was perched. It contains a Meteorite.

There is another hunt that you can complete in the Fields of Corava nearby to take down the Soul Stingers. Once these two Hunts are finished, head back to the walkthrough page using the link below:

Walkthrough Guide

“Clive returns to the hideaway and sets about spreading the glad tidings that Hugo Kupka—the man who crushed their former home and saw many of their friends slaughtered—is no more. Those who lost their lives that fateful night are avenged, and those lucky enough to survive can now live without fear that he might one day return.”
