Sleepless tomb hunt and reputation score for true ending
Can someone please tell me where I find the last nest and get this done without failure and a D rank every time?

I can easily destroy the 4 up and down each but can´t find it no matter where I search and the exits are blocked.

I also have the item to defeat undead, of course.

My current level is 10 above the hunt one and I play on easy, too.

Thanks in advance.

I´m right before the last dungeon, so I wanted to do as much as possible for a true ending.

Oh yeah, where can I find my reputation score to unlock it later?

I haven't gotten this far. LOL

There are four upstairs, one at each arm of the cross, and four downstairs, one in each quarter with a guardian.

Make sure you are killing the boss as well. He's the "B" marker on the mini map and moves around a lot, running away when damaged too much or left alone, so hit him with big attacks when you see him. You need to kill him to get better than a "D", I've won hunts without beating all the nests before and only got "D" once when I didn't get the boss.

My strategy is to set torch, smash nest and head for the next one. If you can't set the torch because you're being hit too much just do your extra move and stun everything first. You can beat nests without the torch, but they are much more resilient.

Reputation is in the Journal > Help > Total Explored

Yeah the boss is the problem, because on easy, the nests are no problem but the foes are still coming at me like crazy and I couldn´t find a B in this hectic.

Thank you.

Thanks to the walkthrough, I already have 263 reputation points which should be easily enough for the true ending so I think can I even skip the last hunts and raids, because the level for them jumps up pretty much.

I think you need 200 for the true ending so you should be fine. Maximum is 298. Last few hunts are recommended level 80 and 88, which can be done in the mid-late 70's (I'm guessing, as that's when I think I beat the last one on normal).

Walkthrough says 200 points for true ending, so I am totally safe.

This was also helpful for me. Thank you. :)

Got true ending as expected and later maybe second run with NG+.

198 AFAIK

I have no idea how one can get much more.
I've explored 100% of the map.
I've found everyone.
I've done all quests. (edit: that I found on the board, given the achievements it appears I've missed some)
I've bought all gifts and have given them.
I've done 3 hunts with ranks A or S (does that count?)
I've fought all raids with ranks A or S (does that count?)

I still only got 194.

Hunts also give reputation points, so you should do the rest of them, too for more but I stopped when the level got too high for my current ones, so I will try it again in NG+ with all push items which give you more level, attack, strength and defense.
