Prerequisites: AF Wheel
Talk to Diddle -- the organ grinder -- in Domina's Park of Mana Angel
and he'll leave. Proceed northwest to the town map, then step back
into the park. Capella the monkey will be waiting for you, wondering
where Diddle is. Chat with him, then proceed to the town square and
talk to the Sproutling there. It tells you it saw a yellow bird carry
off Diddle, so go to Miss Yuka's inn. Capella is already there,
inquiring about Diddle, but Yuka professes innocence and says that
Pelican may have been responsible.
Return to the outskirts of Domina and talk to Capella. Some rather
humorous scenes will follow, and you'll officially receive the quest
"Diddle's Letter." Leave the screen, return, and talk to Pelican.
Peli informs you that she sent the letter off to Luon Highway.
Go to the Highway and talk to Boink -- the big purple hippo -- to
teleport yourself to the southern fork. Pick up the letter waiting
there and Capella will race in. No matter what you'll say to him, he'll
end up reading it. Continue southwest to the cave entrance, where Diddle
is waiting. Tell the truth (that Capella read the letter) and Diddle will
run off into the cave. Capella chases him. (If you lie and say that
Capella didn't read the letter, you'll have to return to the entrance of
the area before Diddle runs into the cave -- the story ends up the same, but you have to do more
walking.)
Return to the entrance by going northeast, northwest at the fork, and
then due west at the second fork. Diddle will then inquire about
his letter, and Capella admits he read it. Diddle storms off in
a huff. Boink back to the fork and head southwest into the Chobin
Hood Cave. Proceed through this area, collecting the two chests along
the way, until you reach the final room. Here, you'll encounter
the quest's boss, the Giga Rex. (This room is also an egg / spirit
ground during other times.)
Defeat the Giga Rex and more scenes will follow. Diddle and Capella will
end up friends again, and you'll be rewarded with a Gator Skin. Be sure to hang onto it; you'll need it for a later quest. The
quest then ends, and -- as always -- you're returned to the world map.
Li'l Cactus' quote: "Welcome home." (slowly)
Cactus Diary:
"A pelican kidnapped a little boy!? And it threw the boy away somewhere? That's just not right. What are the people at the child protection agency doing?"
