After replenishing Link’s potions and upgrading things like the Bug Net and the Shield, go outside and ring Beedle’s chimes. Inside the Airshop go to bed until night. Link will be at Beedle’s Island. Follow the steps on the Airshop to Beedle’s house and leap across. Open the treasure chest to receive the "Rupee Medal". Rupees will appear more often. Drop down to the ground and walk over to Beedle to talk to him. He will tell Link that his Horned Colossus Beetle and cage are missing. Say – "I’ll find it!" Go back to Beedle’s Airshop and sleep until morning.
Back in Skyloft go to the top of the Waterfall Island and look to the
North/East to see a small island below. Dive onto the island and open the
treasure chest to find a Gold (300) Rupee. Drop down onto the main Island and dive into the lake. Swim into the cave under Kukiel's house and come up in the well. Open the treasure chest here to find a Piece of Heart.
Take to the sky and head for Thunderhead. Drop down on Island #2 and look for Blue Butterflies. Equip the Goddess Harp and strum. A Gossip Stone will appear and say, "You may get rare and difficult-to-catch bugs if you finish the Bug Wrangler challenge in Bug Heaven within two minutes." From here land on the grassy area of Island #4 and go to the burrow hole. Dig down to the tunnel maze and emerge at the caged area that has a charged treasure chest to find an "Empty Bottle". Go back to the grassy landing and head for Bug Island. Land at the top and walk to the balcony. Straight down is a treasure chest containing a Piece of Heart. Now go see Strich.
He tells Link that he has found an insanely rare insect. Say – "Tell me!" Strich says, "Well…Let’s just say I managed to land a legendary Horned Colossus Beetle." He says it was a miracle that he found it. Link tells him that it is Beedle’s pet bug and Strich is surprised to hear it. Say – "Give it back!" Strich won’t give it back. He says he found it so it’s his. But then he thinks it over and feels bad about keeping someone’s pet bug, but not so much as to just hand it over. Strich tells Link to do his bug catching like a Master would and he will give up the bug. Say – "You’re on!" Link is told to catch "10" bugs, of Strich’s choosing, in less than "3" minutes. The Big Bug Net helps, but it is still a tough challenge. When Link finally collects all ten insects in just 2:19.09 seconds, Strich agrees to return the Horned Colossus Beetle. Strich asks Link to tell Beedle that he feels bad about causing him so much stress. Take to the sky and head for Skyloft.
Now in the Plaza, ring Beedle’s chimes. Go aboard the Airshop and sleep until night. Walk down to the campfire and talk to Beedle. He is very happy that Link found his pet bug. Beedle tells Link that on his next visit to his Airshop, his purchase will be half price. Link receives five Gratitude Crystals. Go back to the Airshop and sleep until morning. Leave the Airshop and go see Batreaux.
More Gratitude Crystals can be found in these locations;
On the walkway at the back of the Light Tower.
On the landing between the two boardwalks on the North end of Skyloft.
On the lower landing on the West side of Skyloft.
Behind the tree in the upper Skyloft pumpkin patch.
Near the Bird Statue at the cave exit in Skyloft.
In the small cave where Link’s Loftwing was imprisoned.
In the rafters of the Sparring Hall.
On a shelf in the balcony at the Lumpy pumpkin.
In the storage shed of the Lumpy Pumpkin.
At Beedle's Island on top of his Airshop.
Inside Orielle & Parrow's house near the front corner.
In a bush next to the doors inside the Academy upper entrance.
Batreaux sees the Gratitude Crystals that Link has collected and gives him a Gold (300) Rupee. In fact Batreaux is so happy that he gives Link another Gold (300) Rupee. He says he needs just a few more to become human. Batreaux asks Link to bring 80 crystals on his next visit.
Go to instructor Owlan’s room and talk to him. He will tell Link that his passion is collecting exotic plants but he fears that he has collected everything. He asks Link if that in Link’s travels that there might be somewhere that Link may discover something new for Owlan. Say, "I’ll try". Owlan thanks Link and asks that it be something rare. Fi will appear and set Link’s dowsing ability for the plant.
Go to the Faron Woods and find the Kikwi "Oolo" in the secluded meadow only reachable by tightrope. He has been hiding for so long that his shoulders hurt. Link may ask him "What shoulders?". This will upset him. He tells Link that he won’t give up hiding "But sometimes I wonder, keep-eep…Isn’t there somewhere peaceful I can live without fear, without having to hide?" Say, "There is!" Oolo says, "Oh! That’s fantastic news, Koo-karoo! I want you to take me there as soon as you can!" Fi appears to tell Link that this "person" is a plant. Fi asks Link if he wants her to call Scrapper. Say, "Please." Scrapper arrives and asks if Fi wants him to carry "this". Take to the sky and lead Scrapper back to Skyloft. Head for instructor Owlan’s room and Scrapper will hand over the Kikwi to Owlan saying, "I have come bearing the unusual Kikwi, Fzzzzk!" Scrapper then leaves. Owlan is stunned and says, "It’s precisely what I wanted!" Owlan is so thankful that he gives Link five Gratitude Crystals.
When Link has 80 Gratitude Crystals go see Batreaux. He will tell Link, "Oh, my! You’ve gathered 80 Gratitude Crystals! If I’m not mistaken, that’s all the Gratitude crystals in the whole wonderful world! Thank you! Thank you ever so much! Please accept this final gift with all my gratitude." Link receives the "Tycoon Wallet". It holds 9,000 rupees. Batreaux says, "This is an embarrassingly small token of my gratitude, but I hope it will be useful to you. Oh, dear…with this, I now have all the Gratitude Crystals I require to become human! I wonder if I’ll really be able to make the transformation…My heart is aflutter!" Batreaux feels a change taking place and pooof he is transformed. A rather odd looking human, but a human. He asks Link, "…Well? How do I look, my dear friend, Link?…Oh, you needn’t say it. I can tell from the look of sheer astonishment on your face my appearance has changed so dramatically you’ve been struck speechless, haven’t you? Allow me to tell you this…There’s simply no word in your language to describe how grateful I am for your help. I am deeply touched! From now on, I plan to live happily with everyone else. Not as a monster…But as any other person."

Now that Batreaux is Human, Skylofts nights will return to normal. Go to Kukiel’s house and sleep until night. Take Kukiel’s mother Wryna and she will say, "Oh hello, Link. You haven’t seen my husband around, have you? I know he’s curious why the night turned silent so suddenly, but it’s no reason to dash out there. What if he bumps into a monster?"
Go to the stone bridge where Link will find Batreaux who says, "Good evening, Link! I thought I’d take a refreshing stroll around town, and to my surprise there’s not a monster to be seen. You don’t suppose their disappearance has something to do with me becoming human, do you?" Say, "Could be!" Batreaux says, "Goodness, I suppose you are right…There’s no denying that when I was a demon, I must have radiated a fiendish power into my surroundings. Now that I’m human, it seems that most unpleasant aura has completely faded from this place, like an odious aroma in the wind. And goodness me, I couldn’t be more elated! Now everyone can finally live in peace, and it’s all thanks to you."
Go to the Plaza and talk to Wryna’s husband Jakamar. He will say, "Hey, Link! Have you taken a look here recently? There’s not a Keese to be seen. No other angry monsters either…Been a while since I could take a quiet walk out in the dark…"
At the North end of Skyloft is instructor Horwell. He says to Link, "Look, Link! Though night has come, Mia exhibits none of the nocturnal aggressiveness we’ve come to expect in Remlits! It’s amazing!"
On the West side of Skyloft Link finds Parrow out walking. He says to Link, "Hey, Link! Nice night for a stroll outside, eh? I forgot how nice it feels to be out here at night with no monsters to bother you."
Go to the Academy and talk to Strich. He says to Link, "Link,…Want to hear something neat? OK, so…earlier in the night, I went back into the caves behind the waterfall. I saw Blessed Butterflies in this empty area. I wonder why they were swarming around that spot…Weird, right? If you want to see them for yourself, you should go into the caves at night."
Go to the cave and about half way in Link will see Blue Butterflies. Equip the Goddess harp and strum. A Gossip Stone will appear. It says, "Hey there, friend! What luck you have! You’ve just stumbled upon me, the infamous "Moonlight Merchant"! Don’t ask how I get my wares, ‘cause I’m not telling! If there’s a rare bauble or two you’re dying to get your hands on, I might know a stone who knows a stone who can get them for you…for a price! But…But! Before you go whipping out your Rupees, you should know my wares carry a hefty price tag. People who come to me usually don’t like collecting treasure on their own, or simply can’t manage to collect what they need. You sure this is for you?" Say, "Sure!" The Moonlight Merchant asks, "Excellent! So, tell me, what kind of treasure are you in the market for?"
Links choices are; "Other", "Goddess Plume", "Blue Bird Feather" and "Golden Skull". Say, "Other". The Merchant then asks, "Something else, huh? Well do any of these pique your interest?" Links choices are; "Other", "Monster Claw", Dusk Relic" and "Evil Crystal". Say, "Other", and the Merchant will say, "Sorry, friend, that’s all I’ve got to sell right now. If none of those did the trick for you, you’ll just have to find what you’re after on your own!"
