Phon Coast Hunt Club
Introduction
The Phon Coast Hunt Club is one of the side quests you'll need to complete in order to achieve 100% completion. Killing specific Rare Game will award you with trophies. These trophies can be given to one of three Bangaa, and you'll be able to purchase an assortment of items (these are dependant on which Bangaa you give the trophies to - this means you cannot obtain everything that is available, so you'll need to make some choices). There are 30 Rare Game (and therefore trophies) to kill. All of these enemies have a specific requirement in order to spawn them.
Opening up the Phon Coast Hunt Club
Once you've finished the story at Draklor Laboratory, head back to the Phon Coast and look for a hut with four Bangaa outside. Speak to the Huntmaster at the top of the stairs. You'll then be tasked with hunting down the Thalassinon, who is located in the Vaddu Strand area of the Phon Coast. Head up to the far side of the cliff, and look down to see Thalassinon.
Run back down to where Thalassinon is, and kill it. You'll be awarded the Shelled Trophy. Head back to the Huntmaster to turn in the Trophy. He'll tell you that you've passed the test and you'll need to speak to the three Bangaa brothers - Atak, Stok and Blok. They're at the bottom of the stairs.
The aim of the Hunt Club is to trade trophies with the three brothers. They'll unlock different treasures that can be purchased from the Shifty-Eyed Man's store (his name will become Outfitters once you've spoken to him). The treasures that are unlocked are dependant on which Bangaa you choose.
- Atak - He'll unlock weapons.
- Stok - He'll unlock armor.
- Blok - He'll unlock accessories.
Which Brother Should You Give Trophies To?
A hard question, but depends on what you're after. I personally went for Blok, to get the Ribbon. But it's up to you. The table below gives you a breakdown of how you should split the 30 trophies to get items. When purchasing from the Outfitters, use the Gil price to work out what you're purchasing, as they'll be named differently to what you're getting. You'll be able to purchase anything that meets the trophy requirements.
Also included is if there are any other ways of obtaining items. This is useful in cases where some items are readily available elsewhere, and others aren't. Left out were where they can be stolen in Trials.

Once you've collected all 30 trophies, travel to the Highgarden Terrace in Archades, and speak to the Hunt Club Owner. The following awards will then become available:
Reward | Atak | Blok | Stok |
More than 15 trophies: | Zodiac Spear | Zodiac Escutcheon | Ribbon |
15 or fewer trophies: | Staff of the Magi | Ensanguined Shield | Sage’s Ring |
In theory, there are two pathways that are recommended to take. You should either aim for obtaining the Zodiac Escutcheon shield or the Genji Gloves. Both of these are difficult to obtain, and are incredibly powerful.
To obtain the Zodiac Spear and Zodiac Escutcheon shield (which will yield another Zodiac Escutcheon shield), you should divide your trophies as such:
- 10 to Atak
- 10 to Blok
- 10 to Stok.
To obtain the Genji Gloves (and a Ribbon), you should divide your trophies as such:
- 5 to Atak
- 5 to Blok
- 20 to Stok.
