Each major area in Tails Of Iron 2: Whiskers Of Winter offers a set of Beast Hunts that pit you against the creatures native to those lands. These Beast Hunts are often briefly teased while you progress through the main story quests in a given area, as you’ll encounter the monsters who often flee while you’re in the midst of a main quest.

Learn how to defend yourself from the monsters roaming the land.
However, if you want to finish the job and claim the various crafting materials that these monsters can offer, you’ll need to engage in Beast Hunts. These side quests unfold in three major sections: gathering information, encountering the beast, and hunting it down across the land, often chasing them to their lair.
How To Start Fear The Sky
Return to The Elder at Mossbug Farm in the Outskirts to take on another Beast Hunt, this time against a Bird Beast. The Elder will direct you to the rightmost section of The Outskirts.
Fast travel to Highland View to save time, or dash to the right, and you’ll be there in a flash.
Once you arrive, you’ll spot a merchant selling goods, including a Polished Dark Wing Gun, which does ice damage – perfect to counter the Bird Beast’s weakness.
The Bird Beast is weak against both ice and electric, so equip Arlo appropriately to capitalize on those vulnerabilities.
How To Defeat The Bird Beast
Step forward and a dead farmer will fall from the sky, followed by the fearsome Bird Beast, which roars and attacks.
You’ll need to focus on ranged attacks here, as the Bird Beast typically keeps to the skies, swooping down to employ sweeping attacks against you.
Once you injure the Bird Beast by depleting about 25-33 percent of its HP, it will flee to the right, where you’ll have to follow it.
If you have already completed The Root of the Problem, you’re in luck as you can fast-travel to the Abandoned Shack and skip the long journey to the upper left section of The Outskirts.
How To Beat The Bird Beast Phase Two
From the Abandoned Shack, head left, and you’ll encounter the Bird Beast for phase two, with the same HP you left it at. It will roar and take to the skies again, requiring you to hit it with ranged shots again.
Watch for the red glow on the ground that telegraphs a diving attack from the Bird Beast, and avoid its follow-ups until it lands.
Block the ranged shots with your shield and avoid its pecking attack that deals fire damage and can set Arlo on fire, requiring the use of an Antidote or repeated button presses to break out of it.
Once you’ve depleted more of its HP until a third remains, the Bird Beast will flee again, this time to the top right section of the map. Head there now.
How To Beat The Bird Beast Phase Three
When you arrive at the Ruins of Long Fang Castle, you’ll spot the merchant again and can replenish your health potion via a nearby barrel.
Once you’re ready, head right and deal with the Bird Beast Chicks before ascending the ladder to face the Bird Beast.
Defeat two more chicks while a farmer cowers in the background, then turn your attention to the Bird Beast.
Avoid the egg bombs the bird drops, then attack it as soon as it lands to inflict as much damage as possible.
Avoid the peck attacks and fire residue on the ground again, and soon you’ll defeat the Bird Beast after a few opportunities to hit it while it’s grounded.
What Rewards Do You Get From Fear The Sky?
Loot the boss and speak to the farmer, earning you the following rewards:
- Rough TH Bird Sword
- Rough Bird Bow
- Rough Bird Pauldron
This will complete the Fear The Sky Beast Hunt side quest.
