I've had this quest sitting in my tracker for a while now and haven't had time to complete it yet. The quest description says to meld materia before mutamix 0/8. So what is considered in front of him exactly? Within the little alcove he is in? Or does he have to be targeted? Or does it even matter where you do it? In 1.0 it tracked it no matter where you attached the materia.

Thanks for any replies. I have just been so busy I haven't had time to set up my crafting classes yet.
