During an Area Investigation, send a unit that contains Sheen to Garu Kaio and enter the stronghold. Sheen will meet a Young Girl, and she will give you the Decoy Cap.
The Decoy Cap increases how often a character will engage in neutral encounters.
Note: The Decoy Cap cannot be acquired during Chapter 2.
Melphy Special Shop
Melphy does not have a normal shop, but there is a special shop that sells rare items on specific days of each month. Enter the Melphy stronghold on the right day of the month and at the right time to meet a shopkeeper and purchase the rare items.
It is usually best to begin your Area Investigation one day in advance. Most units cannot walk to Melphy fast enough to make it in time if you begin the Area Investigation on the exact day.
