Gather Cave Birds

The Cave Birds weren't enough! This sweet Howlug has lost nearly all her bounce. She was so bouncy before! It saddens me to see her this way. I've written it all down in my latest book if you care to read more.\n\nIn any case, I believe what'll really put some bounce in her step is some acrobat bark.\n\nGather 20 acrobat bark from the ceilings of Moonglow Grotto. Acrobat bark only grows in Tier 2 and beyond.

Gather Acrobat Bark

What a day! It turns out this Howlug wasn't ill at all – only pregnant! They're quite skilled at hiding it, you see, even from me! And I've written thirty books on it!\n\nThe Howlug was so grateful for your assistance, she insisted that you have one of her eggs.\n\nCome have a look at the Egg Incubator at the Companion Ranch to the east and I'll show you how to use it.

Check out the Egg Incubator

Place place your egg inside the Egg Incubator and watch it hatch!\n\nI have a feeling this one will hatch quickly. It must be excited to meet its proud new caretaker!

Hatch Your Howlug

Wow! You really have your own companion? Gabbro says it takes a LOT for cave creatures to trust you. I'm almost jealous.\n\nGabbro told me that these creatures help you out as you explore. You can even level them up at the Companion Trainer if you have Bond Crystallizer!\n\nYou should bring this Howlug with you into the caves and see what it can do.

Bring Howlug into the Caves

Your howlug looks happy to be with you! Hehe. I can understand why.\n\nFeel free to explore as you like.\n\nOnce you get enough resources for your next GAS upgrade, you'll be able to go into Tier 3! That's further than I've ever gone. I'm impressed!\n\nOne more thing, while I've still got you: Thank you for coming to Geode. I was skeptical when Rowan told us that you might be able to save us. But after meeting you... I've never been so happy to be wrong.\n\nGather materials to upgrade your GAS to explore Tier 3 and beyond.
