If you follow the yellow exclamation point, you will have to go outside of the Ministry of Eggs, go to Galyad’s dock, go back to Tarkuan’s Oasis, and go towards the mine to find the path to the cave’s entrance (hit G to get the yellow exclamation point). You can also get there by directly fast traveling to Lookout Point: Oasis.

Inside the cave, go straight ahead, and take the left at the fork. You should see a gold shaft in the distance. Go towards it. Once the cutscene ends, you will have to fight a Shrouded Nerscylla. It has a Technical type in its base form and is weakest to Ice and Fire elements. A Dreadqueen Rathian can do significant damage.

Once you have defeated the monster, a cutscene begins (this is an important cutscene providing the necessary backstory of Gaul). Go back to the Guild Collector in the Ministry of Eggs. Once that cutscene ends, the mission is complete.
