A Scholarly Pursuit quest walkthrough

A Scholarly Pursuit objectives:

“A Scholarly Pursuit” is technically part of a larger quest chain that tasks you with evacuating the main cities throughout the world, so it’s worth referring to our guide on “Halls of the First Dawn” for more information on clearing out Vernworth, Sacred Arbor, the Volcanic Island Camp, and the Excavation Site.

Since the tentacles and lots of fallen wreckage block easy access to the jar, Phaesus will lead you on a mad dash through Bakbattahl’s markets towards an alternate route. Follow him, and contend with theglowing purple monstersthat the jar summons. These mobs aren’t too difficult to kill, but like all enemies in Battahl, they can gang up on you in the narrow streets and easily stunlock your Arisen into submission. The jar will also summon meteor showers from the sky, which are easily avoidable as long as you pay attention to the impact markers on the ground.

There’s quite a few summoned enemies to contend with, but at least the folks of Bakbattahl will jump into action to help you. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Capcom
