Now we are going to deal with the Hunt for the Fruits and the Festival. I want to highlight why it's important to give the fruits to the Bull tribe. The Guide says that Axel will execute three Lizard Prisoners if you don't stop him. To make Axel listen, his SUS Score needs to be 3 or less. If we cannot stop the execution, Thane will blame himself and this may result in terrible consequence for him in future Update / later parts of the Story (according to the guide). Aside from the SUS-Score we must give the fruits to join the Bull festival. If we party with the Lizard Tribe, the Hero won't make it in time to the Bull Village to stop the execution.
When the Questline starts meet Axel (and Nauxus if you like) and take the mission. Speak with the Bull shopkeeper next. The Hero will automaticlly investigate the crime scene. The stepped fruits leads to Slime Forest 1. After the Heros complains: "This is redicilous, who far is this thing?" the smell lead you to the area where you met the Spy before: Tomato-Forest.
Fight the Mid-Boss and return to the Bull tribe. You can spend time with Tomahawk and his buddies or Axel. Thane returns severly wounded. The party ends. One the next day stop the execution.
Giving the fruits to the Bull tribe reduces Axel SUS-Point by 2.
FINAL SUS-SCORE: Nauxus: 3 --- Axel: 2
Congratulation: With this Score we will gain all the benefits of the neutral ending: The BEST Neutral/good Ending. Of course we still need to make peace....
