Dangerous Sea monsters

[Black lotus]

I've got an 'Earn a Title Promotion' quest to gain my Captain rank with Tokelau. One of the things needed is to kill three Dangerous Sea Monsters. I've traveled around the map and I've killed four of these. One in Chalkos, one in Regis, one in Pania, and the last one in Kanoni. My quest says that I've only killed one. Would love some assistance getting past this leg of my mission.

The game should only have generated 3 of these when you got the quest. Are you sure you actually killed them versus attacking and only doing a little damage to them?

[DezNutz]

Have you changed nations recently?

[D00T]

Have you abandoned this quest before?

[Black lotus]

Yes, I have changed nations, and yes I have abandoned the quest once. Could they be from the previous quest?

[D00T]

Yes

[Black lotus]

Well, I only have 3-4 more ports to head through. I've killed every one that I've seen, so I hope there's two more in the next few ports.

When you leave a mission unfinished (abandon/cancel/get a new one) then the spawned monsters of the mission remains. So you have beaten one of the old mission monsters. The ones of the existing one, still lurk around.

(gasp) Kraken comes out of water and eats his ships. well I found it!
