Short answer

The research plan currently treats the requirement as 3 leeches, not 5. Because this is exactly the kind of early-game fact that can change or be misreported, the published page should show the game version and cite the evidence used.

How to use this guide

Lead with the number players need, then show the route and a checklist. Put the explanation of the older answer below the direct solution so the page does not bury the answer.

  • Check the quest tracker before searching again.
  • Record each confirmed pickup rather than relying on memory.
  • If the count does not advance, capture the current build and update the source note.

Evidence note

This draft preserves the discrepancy as an editorial note. Before launch, confirm the number in-game and cross-check at least two current guides.
