Monster Hunt Side quest · City of Orphans

A step-by-step walkthrough built from the quest's journal entries, clue letters and reward data.

1. Find the first eerie child's drawing of a monster in the City of Orphans.
2. Collect all 17 drawings: the Sphinx, an Eternal Guard, a Volunteer, a Carrion, a Remnant of the Iron Regiment, a Sapeur, a Howler, a Grenadier, a Swarm Mother, a Lancer, a Risen Soldier, General Lothaire, Shambling Civilians, the Slaughtermill, an Abomination, an unknown figure and an unknown monstrosity.
3. Each drawing is logged in the journal; the last one closes the quest. The map data doesn't place the drawings, so check corners as you explore.
4. Reward: no item, but it unlocks The Book of Beasts — one of the rarest achievements in the game.
