Walkthrough

Beaucedine Glacier
Lower Delkfutt First Floor
  • Note: If you did not already do so, speak with Cid (in Bastok - Metalworks - Home Point #1) to begin this Mission.
  • Head to (G-6) in La Theine Plateau and click on the ??? there.
    • There are several other quests that begin at this ??? so you may need to watch several cutscenes to make sure you got the right one.
    • The Unity Warp (Level 99) will bring you close.

Check the ??? where you talk to Carbuncle in La Theine Plateau for a cutscene with Carbuncle and Tenzen.

Spiral

  • Head to the Tower at (J-8) in Beaucedine Glacier and enter Pso'Xja.
  • This Tower is not a maze. There are a total of 16 Stone Doors that you must pass through normally, but each one of them has a high chance to spawn a Gargoyle when you check it.
    • Defeat the Gargoyle and move through the Door quickly as it won't stay open for very long.
    • Some things to remember:
      • The Doors cannot be opened from the other side (i.e. one-way). If you're in a party and someone doesn't make it through the Door in time, they will be stuck.
      • There are various other mobs in some of these rooms that are aggressive. Cryptonberries aggro to Sight Sight, Magic Millstones aggro Magic Magic.
      • These monsters WILL aggro you through the Doors so take caution fighting close to the next Door.
      • It is possible for a Thief to pick the trap and open the Door without spawning a Gargoyle, although it rarely works.
      • Some Doors may not spawn anything and simply open.
  • After you have made your way past all 16 Doors, sneak up and head down the elevator.
  • Check the Avatar Gate at the bottom for a cutscene.

Branded

Pride and Honor

And the Compass Guides

Pso'Xja Guide
  • Head to the tower at (H-10) in Beaucedine Glacier and enter Pso'Xja for a cutscene.
    • Make sure you have some Silent Oil icon.png Silent Oils and Prism Powder icon.png Prism Powders, regardless of level. Unless you're high enough and want to fight your way through.
    • The Unity Warp (Level 125) will bring you close.
  • There are a few one way walls in here that can be confusing. Walk around the outer perimeter of the map until you are almost back where you started (I-8).
  • Head west through the wall and drop through a hole in the floor.
  • Exit the room to the south, follow the hallway, and enter the room to the north at the end of the hallway.
  • Take the elevator down to the Avatar Gate for a cutscene.
  • Return to Cid once again to finish this path.
