Secret Prodigy is free, but the grind is easy to waste. The fastest method is simple: evolve Bio Insect and Carrot first, keep both in your team, stack wave progress while clearing other tasks, then handle Prodigy's Trial with the right preset-unit strategy.

↖ Secret Prodigy Quest Location in Anime Expeditions

Enter any East Town map.

From spawn, go left toward the basketball court. Talk to the Prodigy Quest NPC and accept Scholar's Trial.

Track progress here:

Quests → Trial → Scholar's Trial

↖ Scholar's Trial Requirements for Secret Prodigy

You need to finish 8 requirements.

The key is stacking progress. Do not clear these one at a time.

↖ Fastest Secret Prodigy Route

↖ 1. Get Bio Insect and Carrot First

Pull or obtain:

• Bio Insect
• Carrot

Evolve them into:

Evolving either one also completes the Evolve 1 unit requirement.

Do this early. If you clear waves before evolving them, that progress is wasted.

↖ 2. Equip Both Evolved Units Together

Put Bio Insect Final Form and Carrot Unleashed in the same team.

Both need 150 waves, and both counters can progress in the same run.

If a counter is not moving, check the form. The quest needs the evolved versions, not the base units.

↖ 3. Clear East Town Story Acts

Finish every available East Town story act.

Keep both evolved units equipped while doing it. This gives you:

• East Town completion progress
• Bio Insect wave progress
• Carrot wave progress

One run should never do only one job.

↖ 4. Clear an East Town Difficulty 3 Boss Node

Enter East Town Difficulty 3.

Choose a path that reaches a boss node and clear it.

Double-check the difficulty before starting. Clearing the wrong boss node is one of the easiest ways to waste a run.

↖ 5. Farm 350 Mechanical Scrap

Farm Mechanical Scrap in West City Expedition.

Before entering, check the expedition map. Prioritize routes with material reward nodes.

Keep Bio Insect Final Form and Carrot Unleashed equipped here too. Scrap farming can finish your remaining wave progress.

↖ 6. Join One Tournament

You only need to participate.

Winning does not matter. Placement does not matter. Just enter and complete participation.

Do this whenever a tournament is available. Do not leave it for last if the schedule is limited.

↖ How to Beat Prodigy's Trial

Prodigy's Trial is the hardest requirement because it uses a preset team. Your normal units do not matter.

↖ Preset Trial Team

This trial is not about brute force. It is about economy timing and shield control.

↖ Early Game: Farm First

Start with Stone Alchemist farms.

Place one Salmon Sorcerer for early control. Do not panic-spend on damage.

Let enemies move deeper into the map. This buys time for farms to generate cash.

Best early order:

1. Place Stone Alchemist farms

2. Add one Salmon Sorcerer

3. Save money

4. Upgrade economy

5. Add damage only when enemies reach mid-map

If you overbuild damage early, your late game becomes weaker.

↖ Mid Game: Upgrade The Hero First

Prioritize The Hero before heavy Prodigy upgrades.

Why? The Hero boosts team damage. That makes every other upgrade hit harder.

Upgrade priority:

A buffed team clears more reliably than one expensive Prodigy carrying alone.

↖ Boss Phase: Set Targeting to Shielded

The final boss has 50 shields.

Set key units to Shielded targeting:

• The Hero
• String Demon Awakened
• Salmon Sorcerer Grade One

If the boss walks through with shields still up, your Shielded units are either under-upgraded, poorly placed, or not targeting correctly.

↖ Use Prodigy's Active Skill

Prodigy's active skill can save the run.

Use it in one of two ways:

For the boss, trigger it when the boss is inside your strongest damage zone.

↖ Claim Secret Prodigy

After all 8 Scholar's Trial tasks are done, return to the Prodigy NPC and claim Secret Prodigy.

Lock him immediately.

Do not skip this. Rare units are usually lost to menu mistakes, not combat.

↖ How to Get Prodigy's Mechanical Wings

The NPC also gives Perfection's Trial.

Reward:

To complete it, clear the Bio Insect Special Trial.

Open:

Perfection's Trial → Enter Unit Trial

↖ Bio Insect Special Trial Strategy

This trial has two dangerous modifiers.

Do not stack your full defense in one spot. Stunner will shut it down.

Use more than three reliable attackers and spread them along the path. Add AoE units and control like Salmon Sorcerer to handle Splitter waves.

Best setup logic:

• Build economy early
• Place damage across multiple zones
• Use AoE for split enemies
• Add crowd control
• Avoid relying on one carry unit

Once cleared, return to Perfection's Trial and claim Mechanical Wings plus 15 Equipment Rerolls.

↖ FAQ

↖ How do you start the Secret Prodigy quest in Anime Expeditions?

Go to any East Town map, move left from spawn toward the basketball court, and talk to the Prodigy Quest NPC. Accept Scholar's Trial.

↖ Is Secret Prodigy free in Anime Expeditions?

Yes. Secret Prodigy is free. You unlock him by completing all 8 Scholar's Trial requirements.

↖ Do Bio Insect and Carrot need to be evolved?

Yes. The quest requires Bio Insect Final Form and Carrot Unleashed. Base forms do not count for the 150-wave requirements.

↖ How do you beat Prodigy's Trial?

Build Stone Alchemist farms first, defend early with Salmon Sorcerer, upgrade The Hero, set shield breakers to Shielded, and use Prodigy's active skill during boss pressure.

↖ How do you get Mechanical Wings for Prodigy?

Complete Perfection's Trial by clearing the Bio Insect Special Trial. Then return to the NPC to claim Mechanical Wings and 15 Equipment Rerolls.

↖ Summary

The fastest way to get Secret Prodigy is to stack progress from the start. Get Bio Insect and Carrot, evolve them, equip both, then clear East Town, farm Mechanical Scrap, and finish wave requirements together.

For Prodigy's Trial, win through economy and targeting: farm early, upgrade The Hero, set shield breakers to Shielded, and time Prodigy's active skill for the boss.

After claiming him, lock Secret Prodigy immediately. Then clear Bio Insect Special Trial to grab Mechanical Wings and 15 Equipment Rerolls.
