Before you start

This route is for Dryleaf Arts specifically. It is not the same weapon as Dane’s Footwork.
Get the Monk’s Missive and gesture at Highroad Cross
- Travel to the Highroad Cross Site of Grace in Scadu Altus.
- Collect the Monk’s Missive and the May the Best Win gesture there. The missive directs you east and tells you to challenge the monk without words.
Challenge Dryleaf Dane at Moorth Ruins
- From Highroad Cross, travel east to Moorth Ruins.
- Find Dryleaf Dane near the Moorth Ruins Site of Grace.
- Face Dane and use the May the Best Win gesture. He does not initiate a conversation; the gesture triggers the duel.
- Defeat Dane. After the fight, collect Dryleaf Arts and Dane’s Hat near the Site of Grace.
