WHERE & HOW TO FARM

This is a permanent named Exploration Codex objective in Nesting Grounds, not a Haunted Harvest event reward or a contract-scroll grind. The objective starts by speaking with the wandering chef Trevor at the highest point of Starlight Observatory Ruins. From that high point, use a Glide Morph to reach the giant southern Terror Bird nest and collect the Chief Terror Bird Eggs. The codex lists a Headcrusher Terror Bird and a Special Resistance Medal as completion rewards. The difficult part is the approach and landing: the route crosses from the observatory toward Nesting Grounds, and the target is the round section of the nest between its rocks. Complete the objective while it is selected in the Exploration Codex so you can verify progress and collect the reward once the objective finishes.

Before you go
Access the Nesting Grounds region and its Exploration Codex objective, “One Flew Over the Terror Bird’s Nest.”
Have a Glide Morph available for the Codex’s stated route from the highest point of Starlight Observatory Ruins.
Be prepared to climb Starlight Observatory Ruins and make a controlled approach to the southern nest.
Open the Exploration Codex and select the Nesting Grounds objective “One Flew Over the Terror Bird’s Nest” so its requirements are visible.
Travel to Starlight Observatory Ruins and climb to its highest point.
Speak with the wandering chef Trevor at the top to register the first objective.
From the same high point, use a Glide Morph and head southwest toward Nesting Grounds, aiming for the giant southern Terror Bird nest.
Steer toward the circular part of the nest between the rocks and land close enough to interact with the Chief Terror Bird Eggs.
Collect the eggs, then check the Exploration Codex tracker to confirm the Nesting Grounds objective completed.
Claim or verify the listed Headcrusher Terror Bird and Special Resistance Medal rewards in the objective/result interface.
If the glide misses, return to the observatory high point and try again; the guide also documents climbing up the rocks from the eastern side as an alternate approach.
Farming tips
The Codex’s intended route begins at the highest point of Starlight Observatory Ruins; starting from a lower ledge can leave the glide short.
Aim for the nest’s circular landing area between rocks rather than a broad landing elsewhere in the valley.
Repeat, collect and use
This is a named Exploration Codex completion objective and its listed reward, not a repeatable enemy-drop farm. Retry the traversal if you miss the nest; stop once the objective and rewards register.
Common mistakes
Searching the Saurodoma Island contract list for this objective: the named task belongs to the Nesting Grounds Exploration Codex.
Gliding from below the Observatory summit: the objective specifies the highest point of Starlight Observatory Ruins as the launch point.
Leaving after reaching the nest without collecting the Chief Terror Bird Eggs or checking codex completion.
When to stop or switch
Stop when the Nesting Grounds codex marks the objective complete and the Headcrusher Terror Bird and Special Resistance Medal rewards are confirmed.
