Walkthrough

• Note: If you did not already do so, speak with Cid (in Bastok - Metalworks - Home Point #1) to begin this Mission.
• Head to Southern San d'Oria (A-6) (Home Point #4) and speak with Hinaree on the second floor of the manor for a short cutscene.

Entanglement

• Zone into Port San d'Oria for a cutscene. Using the Home Point works.
• Speak with Chasalvige (L-6) in the Cathedral's Manuscript Room in Northern San d'Oria, left of the entrance.

Head Wind

• Travel to Windurst Waters (J-8) (Home Point #3) and speak with Kerutoto in the Rhinostery. You may need speak with her more than once, as she offers other quests.

• The correct cutscene for this Mission is about you "standing there like a muddled mandragora" and of a girl with "crikey-spiky hair".

• Go to Windurst Walls (E-5) (Home Point #1) and speak with Yoran-Oran once again.
• Head to Attohwa Chasm (H-6), enter Boneyard Gully, and prepare for a boss fight.
  • Home Point #1 in Attohwa Chasm or the Unity Warp (Level 125) will get you close to the entrance.

With the lifting of the level cap on this battlefield, this battle is now relatively trivial in difficulty. The walkthrough below was written for a level cap of 50.

Attohwa Chasm Useful Items to bring: Some form of Reraise Food. MP and HP regen drinks Any other HP or MP potions Blackened Siredon (its usefulness is debatable) Note: Blackened Siredon is an item that is used to stop the Mithran Trackers TP gain for a short amount of time. If you wish to obtain these items, you need to complete the quest Mithran Delicacies given by Anguenet at (J-10) in Carpenters' Landing. This quest is entirely optional. Note: FastCS might get you stuck in the cutscene that plays when entering. Simply unloading the addon will fix it. Similarly, if you normally play with FrameRateDivisor 1, typing //config FrameRateDivisor 2 should advance the cutscene. You may immediately re-enable 60 FPS after passing that particular line of dialogue. After your party is geared up and ready, click on the Dark Miasma and enter the battlefield "Head Wind". Buffs will wear off when you enter, so buff inside the battlefield. Read the battlefield names carefully; it is NOT the battlefield for "Like the Wind" if you happen to have that unlocked. Boss Name Abilities Notes Shikaree X (BST/NIN, assisted by Shikaree X's Rabbit) Shikaree Y (DRK/MNK) Shikaree Z (DRG/WHM, assisted by Shikaree Z's Wyvern) They can each use their job specific abilities, spells, and more importantly Weaponskills with their respective weapons. They also tend to use skillchains and will team up accordingly. All the monsters in the battle have relatively low HP so they can be taken out fairly quickly with decent damage. The problem is their high TP gain and the ability to unleash devastating weaponskills. A well timed Sleepga at the start should allow everyone to take out one or more of the Mithran Trackers before the others awaken. Kill the pet's master before their corresponding pet, or they will summon another. Shikaree Y also Counters, so melees should attack her from the sides and back. Shikaree X and Shikaree Z have Utsusemi and Blink respectively. Flames for the Dead With the lifting of the level cap on this battlefield, this battle is now relatively trivial in difficulty. The walkthrough below was written for a level cap of 60. Uleguerand Range Useful Items to bring: Icarus Wing, one for each melee. Opo-opo Necklace and Sleeping Potion, unless you can use Meditate Some form of Reraise A few Shu'Meyo Salt. Note: Shu'Meyo Salt is an item that delays the Snoll Tzar's explosion by 20 seconds. The Shu'Meyo Salt takes away all hate when used, so if you have a PLD tank using 2hour, he should be last to use one, or not use any. This item may be obtained by completing the quest Bombs Away! given by Buffalostalker Dodzbraz at (F-9) in Uleguerand Range, and is highly recommended. Head to (J-9), underground in Uleguerand Range and enter Bearclaw Pinnacle. Closest warp is Home Point #2. The Unity warp is probably the next best option if you don't have it. When your party is ready, click on the Wind Pillar and enter the battlefield "Flames for the Dead". Buffs will wear upon entering, so be sure to buff inside the battlefield. You may spend an extended time to buff you and your party, with melees building TP using Sleeping Potions with an Opo-opo Necklace, and/or using Meditate. When everyone is ready, pull the Snoll Tzar and unload everything you have on him, doing the most damage possible in the short amount of time by any means. Boss Name Abilities Notes Snoll Tzar It will use Hyperthermal Combustion 3 times throughout the battle, each one doing more damage than the last, making the snoll stronger in the process. The 3rd Hyperthermal Combustion ejects you from the battlefield. Arctic Impact: AoE ice damage (~275 each). Cold Wave: Nasty AoE Frost effect (31 HP/tick). Hiemal Storm: Extreme directional AoE ice damage for 200-1400 points. Berserk: Grants the Berserk effect. This makes the fight much easier, but is rare. The area attacks have a fairly small radius. The time limit in this battle is technically 30 minutes, although once you engage the Snoll Tzar you will have 45 seconds to defeat it before it ejects you from the battlefield. This time can be increased by using Shu'Meyo Salt on it. Take care not to overlap the use of the salt because it will have no effect, wait for the message "The Snoll Tzar shakes off the salt!" before using the next one. Hiemal Storm also does quite a bit of damage so healers need to be on their toes during this fight. Don't hesitate to use Benediction if people are about to die! Popular 2 hours to use during this fight are Mighty Strikes, Hundred Fists, Meikyo Shisui, and Astral Flow. After you defeat the Snoll Tzar, return to Bastok and speak to Cid in the Metalworks again to finish this path.
