Walkthrough

Trade enough Crystals to the Conquest NPC to raise your Rank bar and unlock the Mission, then accept it from the Gate Guard.

  • (Optional): The following are optional steps you can take.
    • Interact with the two doors to the Princes' Quarters for short cutscenes.
    • Speak with Curilla and Rahal for small talk about the previous Mission. They will also have different dialogue after the KIs are obtained but before the Mission is completed.
  • Go to the Chateau and check the Great Hall door for a cutscene.
  • You must now travel to 3 ??? and obtain 3 Key Items.


Note: The following steps must be done in order.

Valley of Sorrows

Xarcabard

  • Head for Xarcabard and go to (H-7) upper level.
  • The ??? is in a group of 3 clustered trees with their leaves to the west of the ramp (still in H-7).
  • Select the ??? to obtain the Key Item Figure of Garuda.

Batallia Downs

Note: Purchase a Key Item Magicked astrolabe from Churano-Shurano in Windurst Waters (F-8) to open the doors in the Eldieme Necropolis by yourself.

  • Head for the southern Eldieme Necropolis entrance at (I-10) in Batallia Downs.
  • Make your way to the southern room, and then to the center hole at (G-9). You will likely need Sneak in the basement, do so before dropping down.
  • After dropping down, go east and then south, and take a right at the intersection, and start heading up a hill. You will eventually zone back out to Batallia Downs.
    • If Ahtu is up, kill it first, it should not pose a problem to anyone in the party.
  • Check the ??? near the cliff to spawn two Greater Bird NMs: Suparna (WAR) and Suparna Fledgling (WHM).
    • Note: There are multiple ??? on this island. Check the one near the Stone Monument at the rear of this island.
    • They can both use Horde Lullaby and Massacre Elegy as well as their own respective abilities, such as Mighty Strikes and Benediction, and typical Greater Bird TP attacks.
    • You can pull just one, but it is difficult. Recommended that you kite one NM and kill the other, then finish the kited one off.
  • Defeat both NMs and check the ??? again to receive a cutscene and the Key Item Figure of Leviathan.
  • Head back to the Chateau and check the Great Hall door for a final cutscene, completing the Mission.
