  • You know you have enough points when the latent breaks. You will know it is done when the weapon's elemental resistances disappear from your active resistances (colored dots below the gear grid, but above the selected item description). The item's description text will never change.
  • Trade the Pole of Trials back to Shantotto. This will give you the key item Map to the Annals of Truth. You will be instructed to travel to Ifrit's Cauldron.
  • Take Ifrit's Cauldron HP #1 to map 7. Run south then north to fall off the lip at J-4. Then run south to transition M at J-8. Then north to the ???.
  • Alternatively, if you don't have the HP.
  • Take silent oil, prism powder and an ice cluster and head to Yhoator Jungle (I-5/6). Enter Ifrit's Cauldron directly to the north.
  • Inside Ifrit's Cauldron, follow the path to the first junction and go north. Cool the Flame Spout with the ice cluster and continue west along the path until you arrive at a large circular room. Go south along the ledge and drop down at (I-7/8).
  • Once you drop, there will be a tunnel to your southeast. Go in. The ??? to spawn the NM is in the center of the bridge directly north. Clear away the bats and the bomb if you need to before spawning the NM.
