General

Kill 5,000 Merps.

In-Game Description

Calypso is a place where spirits reside. We must keep those spirits clean from abominations.

Next step is to kill five thousand Merp. Then return to me. Remember this is as much a spiritual journey as it is a test of your skill and stamina.

Calypso has its own soul. A great, powerful world soul.

We live on its edge, and sooner or later, we pass through it. There, we will face our own shadow soul. But if you confront it with imperfect courage, it will utterly annihilate you.

This challenge is your first step on that journey. It will prepare you for your confrontation with your shadow soul.

Hunting Areas

LA 4. Hunting tax is 0%. From Nea's Place, you can run north east. Swim over the river and start shooting at the Merp. From Silver Ridge, just go west. Merps are in the green zone. Merp Young are scatter. The most you see is in a group of 5. There are a few Merp Mature and only one Merp Old. If you die in the southern green zone, you'll be revive in OLA 17 in the south. But it's safe to run back north again. Ambulimax are not very aggressive.

OLA 53. Hunting tax is 4%. Teleport to Segna Forest. Run north. Start shooting.

OLA 41. Hunting tax is 4%. Teleport to New Switzerland. Run and swim east to the green zone and avoid the Argonaut. And then go north to the brown area. Merp Young are usually in a group of 4 to 5. If you use a Lesser Teleport chip from the outpost, you'll be landed in the Argonaut territory.

OLA 51. Hunting tax is 3.95%. Teleport to Atami's Paradise. Run west to OLA 51. There are some Molisk in the way. Merps are in the green zone of OLA 51. The population is very dense. They are in groups of 7-15.
