Walkthrough

You must have Rune Fencer set as your main job to get the starting cutscene from Octavien.

  • Speak to Octavien to receive the key item "Ephemeral Endeavor", then travel to Rala Waterways M-6 (Enter from Eastern Adoulin F-7).
  • The fight is triggered by speaking to Yeggha Dolashi and clicking the door behind her which will send you to Rala Waterways (U).
  • After ascending the stairs Zurko-Bazurko will spawn and attack. He has under 1100 HP.
  • In the center of the arena, Sverdheid ??? waits and appears to be non-aggressive, giving you time to buff/heal.
    • Dealing approximately 3700 points of damage will cause her to surrender; her maximum health is roughly 4000 HP.
      • Should you fail to complete the fight you must wait one game day to receive another "Ephemeral Endeavor" or give Octavien either 50,000 gil; 5,000 bayld; or 10 beastmen's seals.
  • Clearing the fight will award you with "Enlightened Endeavor".
  • Return to Octavien to complete the quest.

Notes

  • Does not need to be completed (for level limit increasing) if the player has already completed New Worlds Await or better.
  • Speaking to Octavien after starting Forging New Bonds will allow you to receive another "Ephemeral Endeavor" in exchange for 50,000 gil 5000 Bayld or 10 beastmen's seals. This will allow you to rechallenge Sverdheid ??? without Zurko-Bazurko.
