After recruiting Esquie for Expedition 33, this majestic creature agreed to carry the party but will need his special rocks to make it happen. The first rock can be found at the Stone Wave Cliffs, which allows him to swim across the Continent’s ocean. Instead of going through the entrance portal directly, explore the side areas first. You can find the Defensive Mode Pictos on the left side of the entrance portal.

This item can be easily missed since it blends nicely with the environment. Run towards the cliff walls, and you will eventually see a shiny object from a distance.
