At least one Kestrel at level 42

Preferred Fluids for Capturing:
💦Foxen Semen
The guide video does feature both Bats and Kestrel, as I chose to use crossbreed the two sub-races until I had enough Kestrel offspring to only breed my Kestrel with each other.
Before you begin upgrading the essence levels of your Kestrel, you will need to purchase the Harpy Aviary and Risu Hutch from Cassie the pink Tabby Neko in town. You will need to have up to the Lewd Desert unlocked to access the Kestrel Harpies.

Essence I to Essence 2
Once you've captured all the Kestrel you can find with the Charmer trait, you will want to pair them up with a Risu that has C Fertility or better. If you don't have a Risu with C Fertility or higher stat, then you capture one from Lustwood, just past the waterfall, up the steps where the colorful Easter eggs litter the ground.
⭐Risu can be captured by offering them Thriae Semen
After some time, you should have a Kestrel with C Fertility stat or higher to turn into The Emissary.
Essence 2 to Essence 3
Pair up all of your Charmer Rank I Kestrel and while trying to create two breeding teams, to ensure you won't run into the issue of offspring being related. After some time (sometimes longer), you will get a Kestrel with Charmer Rank II.
⭐Hold off on turning in your Charmer Rank II Kestrel, until after you get a Charmer Rank III Kestrel.
Essence 3 to Essence 4
Find your highest leveled Kestrel (Preferably without the Charmer trait, or only Charmer Rank I), and level it up to level 42. You can either pair your Level 42 Kestrel with your Breeder character or another nepheylm of your choice.
⭐If I can't pair it with my Breeder character, I like to use a nephelym with the 🤍 Kindhearted trait.
Essence 4 to Essence 5
Before you start pairing up your Chamer Rank II Kestrel, I recommend pruning (releasing) any unwanted Kestrel to ensure space for the next breeding batch; Just make sure you keep your Charmer Rank II and Level 42 Kestrel! After some time, you should get a Charmer Rank III Kestrel.
If you end up producing a lot of Charmer Rank II Kestrel, then try turning in one of your Charmer Rank II & Level 42 Kestrel to The Emissary; Then, you can go back out to the Lewd Deser and see if you can find some new Kestrel with Charmer Rank II. Sometimes that helps end the cycle of producing only Charmer Rank II offspring.
Once you get your Charmer Rank III Kestrel, you can now go turn in the remaining required Kestrel to finish upgrading your essence level.
⭐Additional Tips⭐
1️⃣ Turn off Wild Sex
➡️ In the game settings, toggle off Wild Sex and use fluids to capture your Kestrel instead, if you want to avoid being pounced on, thus saving some time if you're solely focusing on upgrading the essence levels.
2️⃣Utilize the cheats menu to save time and receive immediate resources:
➡️ Add Money
➡️ Infinite Lust
➡️ Win Wild Sex
3️⃣Breeder and Kindhearted Trait
➡️ Using your Breeder character can level up your Essence Level 42 nephelym and Breeder at the same time!
➡️ Finding a wild nephelym with the 🤍Kindhearted trait to breed your Essence Level 42 nephelym with will make getting them to level 42 easier and faster because the Kindhearted trait gives more xp to the nephelym that you're trying to level.
🤍 Kindhearted: Gains (30/40/50)% less XP, but gives (50/100/150)% more to mates.
