How to Complete the Proof is in the Dumpling Side Quest

Find Eleanor at the Ranger’s Mess in Sunpetal Plains Catavan Camp, Azuria. You will find the camp in the eastern section of the region. Speak to her to start her quest, which requires you to find the following three items:

- Witherweed
- Molted Gumshells
Your task here is to use your telescope to locate the exact positions of each of these items.

Turn the telescope to the left of the castle until you spot the riverbank. You will see a quest marker here. Focus on the quest marker to find Witherweed.

Next, point your telescope straight ahead towards the castle and go slightly above the bridge. On the water is a marker for the Sucklebug.

Again, go west of your previous location to find the final item on the hill. Select the quest marker here to find Paolumu and get Molten Gumshell. Return to Eleanor and hand over all the items to complete her side quest.
