So “A Devilishly Delicious Dish” is a side story that you can learn very early on. octopathic traveler 2, but you probably won’t be strong enough to complete it later in the game. In the New Delsta Tavern, a Tavern Cook will ask you for a Delsta Devil. However, solving this problem means heading to a level 34 dungeon and defeating a boss.
After getting the quest, head to the Western Clockbank Highroad. You will need to go to one of the docks and navigate under the bridge to the south. Going down this river will take you to level 34 of the Sunken Maw area.
Once you reach the pier here, head south until you come to another pier. Use the small boat to sail east. After recovering the Shield of Serenity from the chest, go north of this small island. Save to save point. Climb the ladder then visit the passionate old fisherman in his cabin to the north. (The chest near here contains 13,500 leaves.) You’ll need someone to buy, beg, loot, or steal their special bait. (My throne was around level 40 at this point and it passed with a 100% chance.)
After you get the bait, get on the boat at the dock near the save point and head east. A message will appear in the right place asking if you want to use the bait you purchased.
