Okay, so I have completed most of the sidequests, and am currently working in the arena to fill up all the monsters. My girlfriend and I bought the Brady game guide (which is a piece of [censored] by the way), and in it it says that the Garudas can be found on the Mi'ihen high road. However, they are not there - not anywhere. I've even gone so far as to look in the entire Mushroom Rock Road, and I couldn't find them there either.
I know that sometimes monsters are not where the game and the guide book say they should be. For example Ochus are actually in the northern part of the moonflow, not in the Mushroom Rock Road at all. The Ipiria are only found in one tiny section of the lower part of the Mi'ihen highroad. Shreds are generally only found in the southeast portion of the calm lands, etc.
So, the only part of the entire area I cannot get to and explore yet is the area that is blocked by the glyph near where you put the rusty sword in front of the statue. I suppose they may be in there.
However, if anyone knows where exactly I can find the Garudas at, and can state that location specifically and clearly, please do.
I mean no offense, but if your answer is written in gibberish, it does me no good. I have looked everywhere and need VERY specific information on where to find these suckers. Please post your answer clearly if you have one.
Thank you so much.
Alastor.
