Walkthrough

• You must have Geomancer set as your main job to get the starting cutscene from Sylvie (as well as you must be GEO to spawn the NM).
• Speak to Sylvie (I-5) Western Adoulin then travel to (J-8) Morimar Basalt Fields.
  • Using the waypoint to travel to Bivouac #1 is the fastest way.
• Speak to Dabnorrin (at Bivouac #1) and receive a Vessel of summoning before heading to (K-6) Morimar Basalt Fields.
• The entrance is at (J-6) which leads to an area not shown on the map.
• Click on the Primordial Convergence from the South or West to spawn Burgeoning Flames, a NM Fire Elemental. See the discussion page for strategies.
  • This is a solo fight. Others in the party cannot act on the NM except you.
    • Trusts will be dismissed if you summon them before the fight starts.
  • You may call Trusts during this fight if you possess "Rhapsody in Umber".
  • It will not melee and instead spam low level Fire magic (Burn, Fire II, Fire III, Firaga II, etc).
  • You have ten minutes to defeat the NM and will lose access to your support job upon spawning (which will wipe your buffs).
  • The Burgeoning Flames has under 3800 HP.
  • Caution is advised as without buffs its spells can do close to 350 damage and it casts quickly.
  • Once the elemental appears your trusts disappear. Just summon the trusts again before engaging.
• Click on the Primordial Convergence again for a cutscene and your reward.
  • Speaking to Dabnorrin again will give you an option of purchasing another Vessel of summoning for a rematch (at a cost of 5,000 Bayld, 10 Beastmen's Seals, or 50,000 gil).

Notes

• Does not need to be completed (for level limit increasing) if the player has already completed New Worlds Await or better.
• If you're only doing this for the Record of Eminence objective, you might need to remove and set the objective again as it doesn't always register correctly.
