Walkthrough

Head North from the Beaucedine Glacier (S) Campaign Arbiter until you are at (H-7). In the bottom right of the (H-7) square there will be a hole in the ground. Walk through this hole and you will be dropped just past a set of Regal Pawprints. Examine them to be warped directly to Ruhotz Silvermines for the battle (no cutscene).

  • You have 30 minutes to complete this battle.
  • If you fail this mission, you can get another Key Item Umbra bug from the Regal Pawprint under the tree root at (H-10), one of the locations you previously spoke to Cait Sith Naoi. To get back to the battle from this location, you'll want to ascend two ramps in the zone, then head northwest to the knob of rock in the ground you were at before in (H-7), near which is the Regal Pawprint. You are limited to 1 Key Item per game day.

Fight

This fight is against Cait Sith Ceithir. Cait Sith Ceithir is a Black Mage and can cast most Black Magic spells.

  • Uses the following TP moves:
    • Regal Scratch: single-target damage.
    • Divine Favor: Full Erase.
    • Mewing Lullaby: AoE sleep and resets all TP to 0.
    • Eerie Eye: Amnesia + Silence.
    • Level ? Holy: Cait Sith Ceithir will roll dice right before he uses this move. The dice roll determines the damage this move deals. It can be anywhere from 150 - 1500+ AoE damage. There is also a chance the move will have no effect.
  • Will summon Atomos from time to time to help him in battle.
    • When summoned, Atomos will do two moves in a row and then vanish.
    • Soul Vacuum: drains attributes from all players in range. All stats are reduced by about 50 points.
    • Soul Infusion: used right after Soul Vacuum, this move transfers all the stats drained from your party to Cait Sith Ceithir.
    • There does not appear to be any way to stop Atomos once he appears.

You will be assisted by Lilisette during this fight. Lilisette can be buffed/healed by anyone in your party.

  • Has access to the following moves:
    • Sensual Dance: AoE Attack Bonus
    • Thorned Stance: Defense Bonus
    • Whirling Edge: single-target WS.
    • Lilisette can be used to tank the entire fight if you wish. Simply bring several healers to keep her alive while she does all the work.
  • If Lilisette dies the mission ends in failure.
  • If you're a solo player using Trusts and having issues with Level ? Holy one-shotting you, try engaging the enemy, debuffing/damaging it as much as you feel comfortable, and then running a good distance away before Holy could possibly be cast. Your Trusts will continue to fight the enemy, but there are multiple reports that Cait Sith may not actually use Level ? Holy at all, and Atomos might not even use Soul Vacuum, while the player is out of range.
