Walkthrough
You must wait one game day after completing Blood of Heroes in order to start this quest. You must also be on Wings of the Goddess Mission 38 (Note: mission name may be considered a spoiler).
- Speak to Rongelouts N Distaud in Southern San d'Oria (S) (I-9) for a cutscene to begin the quest.
- Zone in to Xarcabard (S) from Beaucedine Glacier (S) for a cutscene.
- The Beaucedine Glacier (S) Survival Guide places you next to the Xarcabard (S) entrance.
- Examine the Backfilled Pit in Xarcabard (S) at (F-8).
- West side of (F-8), lower level.
- Examine the Compact Footprint in the southeast corner of (H-8).
- Examine the Sunken Footprint at (H-6)/(H-7), up the ramp to the NW.
- Examine the Compact Footprint at (H-8) again.
- Zone into Batallia Downs (S) from Beaucedine Glacier (S) for a cutscene.
- Survival Guide to Batallia Downs (S) → zone to Beaucedine Glacier (S) at (E-4) → zone back to Batallia Downs (S) seems to be the fastest route.
- Examine the Fresh Snowmelt in Batallia Downs (S) at (H-5) for a cutscene. (Left hand side before arriving at the Maw.)
- Examine the Fresh Snowmelt again to spawn an NM.
You have 30 minutes to defeat the Mannequin NM named Menechme. You will be assisted by Excenmille.
- Menechme uses Polearm weaponskills, the most dangerous being Penta Thrust.
- Excenmille will occasionally use a skill called Stag's Cry that will give himself a temporary attack boost and magic attack bonus. Excenmille will also do several unique weaponskills such as Songbird Swoop, Gyre Strike, and Stag's Charge that do damage.
- You can win the BC fairly easily by simply curing Excenmille while avoiding getting hate on Menechme.
Once Menechme is defeated, examine the Fresh Snowmelt one last time for a cutscene and your reward.
- If your inventory is full, return to Batallia Downs (S) and examine the Fresh Snowmelt again to replay the cutscene and receive your reward.
