One activity available to you is a set of Wanted Monster requests provided by Livia. These allow you to test your mettle against tough monsters and collect some valuable rewards in the process, such as recipe bread and stat boosters.

Updated September 27, 2023: We've updated this guide with some more specifics on the rewards you get from these bounties, in addition to some general cleaning up of information.

How To Complete Wanted Monster Requests

Once you have access to Wanted Monster requests, you'll need to choose one to take on at a time from Livia at the Silo. Once you have accepted a request, the monster will spawn in the overworld.

To complete a request, you will need to reduce the target monster's health but not kill it. Instead, you'll need to use your Spell Seal to capture it. It'll disappear if successful and you can report to Livia to get your reward.

The higher the monster's health when you successfully capture it with your Spell Seal, the better your reward will be!

There are 15 Wanted Monsters in the game, five per region. Once you complete all requests in a region, you'll get a one-time bonus of 1,000 SEED points. You can always repeat a Wanted Monster request and get the reward for capturing them again and again.

At some point in the story, you will temporarily leave SEED. During this time, you cannot complete any Wanted Monster requests as you'll have your seal taken away from you.

In the sections below, we've provided a map of each region with the locations of the Wanted Monsters marked with their numbers. After completing all five hunts for a specific region, you'll gain a one-off bonus of 1,000 RP from Livia!

Perfect Bounties

After completing the 15 normal bounties, you'll unlock the ability to take on Perfect Bounties. There are three of these and they will respawn each and every day, but there's not much variation in them.

The game will give you a hint as to which part of the region you should be exploring!

The rewards you get for catching each of these monsters are variable, but if you catch all three in a day, Livia will reward you with a Golden Scale, a Golden Dragon Claw, and a nice boost in SEED Points.
