Hunter's March Step-by-Step Guide

1. **Take the Bellway to the Marrow** - Start your journey by teleporting to the Marrow using the Bellway. You'll want to head all the way to the right until you find a shorter shaft with a stepladder.

2. **Take Down Skarrgard, the Ant Miniboss** - Make your way down to the ground level, where you’ll encounter Skarrgard, an aggressive miniboss. To take him down, stay close and dodge his swings—attack in between to wear him down. He may be tough, but with the right strategy, he won’t last long!

3. **Pogo Up to the Captive Flea** - Continue following the path while utilizing your Pogo skills on the red plant bulbs. You’ll reach a Flea trapped in a cage—set it free to earn some rewards.

4. **Head East to the Gauntlet with Shakra** - In the next area, engage Shakra, the map-maker, while fighting successive waves of ant foes. Survive this gauntlet, focusing on dodging, and chat with her to get the Hunter's March map!

5. **Make it to the Next Bench Safely** - Progress through another spike-laden Pogo zone, avoiding pressure plates that trigger swinging axes. You’ll spot a Bench—don’t rest on it right away, as it’s trapped!

6. **Meet Gilly by the Dancer Statue** - After disabling the trap, meet Gilly, a new NPC, near a dancing statue. She provides insights into the region—don’t miss this interaction!

7. **Discover Mottled Scarr in the Secret Passage** - Climb higher and find a hidden passage behind some shrubbery where Mottled Scarr, an ant merchant, awaits. Offering unique items, he’s worth your visit.

8. **Unlock the Short Cut to Deep Docks** - Use your fully mastered skills to navigate back and open a shortcut to the Deep Docks. Stay vigilant, as there’s more in store in Hunter’s March!

9. **Enter the Chapel of the Beast** - Traverse carefully through traps and enemies to reach the ominous Chapel of the Beast.

10. **Face Off Against the Savage Beastfly** - Get ready for a fierce battle against the Savage Beastfly. Use the Wanderer Crest for swift attacks and keep your distance when necessary. This fight is intense, especially in its second phase when new enemies are summoned. Outmaneuver the Beastfly to claim victory!

Once you’ve prevailed, you’ll be rewarded with the powerful Beast Crest, enhancing Hornet’s abilities and transforming her slam attack into a lifesteal move.

So, gear up, practice your moves, and best of luck in conquering Hunter's March!
