Walkthrough

• Zone into Bastok Markets (S) from North Gustaberg (S) for a cutscene that begins the quest. You will receive the Silvermine key.
• Go to North Gustaberg (S) top-middle of (E-9) and examine the Stonehoused Adit for a cutscene.
• Examine the Stonehoused Adit again to start the fight.
  • If you fail this fight, you can get a new Silvermine key by speaking with Solitary Ant at North Gustaberg (S) (J-9).
  • Notice: You must zone and wait a game day before getting a new key.
• Your goal is to protect the NPC as you run through a maze. At certain points Quadavs will attack the NPC.
  • The NPC will follow the path marked below.
    • See the Discussion tab for enemy attack patterns
  • Occasionally the Quadavs will lose hate on whomever they are attacking and go after the NPC.
  • You can cure the NPC via non-BLU spells and she can be buffed by most spells

WARNING: This mission can not be completed solo without AoE sleep and/or damage. The Quadavs will kill the NPC long before you can target them all. It is advised to bring a 99 blm to use sleepga 2 along with whatever strong AoE damage spells you'd like. If you bring whm sub you can use that to cast cure on the NPC in order to keep them alive. This is the quickest basic solution. Another alternative if at 99 is to use the Trust system, specifically Valaineral and his need of using Uriel Blade when engaging to decimate the Quadav horde, just be sure not to kill them in one shot else he won't engage properly.

• Multiple AOE sleeps is helpful depending on your recast times via Fast Case
• The quadavs don't come in all at once and come in staggered via multiple waves, so short cast, high damage AOEs, as well as multiple AOE sleeps is helpful (Subduction, Sheep Song, Dream Flower, etc.)
• Once you defeat all of the Quadavs, the battlefield will end once Adelheid reaches the turret.
• Enter Bastok Markets (S) from North Gustaberg (S) for a cut-scene.
• Speak to Gentle Tiger in Bastok Markets (S) (H-6) for a cutscene.
• Speak to Gentle Tiger again for a second cut-scene and to receive your reward.
