  • She will give you a Fiendtrapper and five Blank Fiend Plates. ***Equip them in your Ranged and Ammo slots.
• Travel into any area with Quadav to capture their image and gather the intel.

To capture an image, go to your inventory and use the Fiendtrapper

• Trade your captured image plates to Mariette at G-9 Bastok Markets (S):
  • If the image is excellent, she will say: This is most excellent!
    You can even make out the individual scales of their vile skin!
    We can only hope you are able to secure more footage of this caliber.
  • If the image is good, she will say: This will do very well!
  • If the image is bad, she will say: This image wasn't captured very well...
  • If the image is a repeat, she will say: We don't need any more images of those <Beastmen>."
  • If the image is taken too far away, she will say: Footage tells us nothing important.
• You need three good shots to complete the mission.
• Report back to Hieronymus to complete the mission.

  • Extra blank or exposed Fiend Plates from a previous mission may be kept and used.
• You can not capture an image while under the effect of Sneak/Invisible.
• You must be face to face with the mob to get a good enough shot.
• Any Quadav mob will do for Deep Cover I (Bastok), Campaign Battle mobs included.
