The line opens up once Pailune is liberated during chapter 8 of the main story, at which point the Militia board starts listing faction quests alongside its bounties. Ignore the bounties and take the actual Bloody Path entries, of which Hunting Red is the step that drops the Bloodstained Blessing key item. Bloodstained Blessing is a second-wind consumable that prevents a lethal hit from downing the player, which makes this quest a priority for anyone pushing into the hardest Pailune content.21212222Abyss Core Liquid Gimmick23232424The Hunting Red boss fight reuses the familiar abyss-core-in-liquid gimmick: a core of abyssal energy sits suspended inside a pool of liquid that shields the boss. Target the core directly with Axim Force, then pull the core out of the liquid as if ripping an abyss item from a wall. Doing so deactivates the boss's protective state entirely and opens a long window of free attacks. Bring ranged options to contest the core safely, and save heavy burst skills for the deactivation window rather than the shielded phase.25+26+Farming Notes27+28+Hunting Red is most useful as part of a route that also covers nearby enemies, resources, or points of interest. Check the drops table before farming it directly, then follow the linked creature-family, biome, and material pages to decide whether the same route covers other needed materials.
