Walkthrough

  • Speak to Anastase in Ru'Lude Gardens and choose to partake in his quest to receive the Prototype attuner.
  • At this point, you must discover four additional Proto-Waypoints hidden throughout Vana'diel by using the hints provided upon asking Anastase about his prognostications.
  • After discovering each Proto-Waypoints, speak to the NPC standing nearby to activate teleportation:
    • <Port>: Pure white beaches... Clay... Disembowelment...
    • <Dwelling>: A long-necked beast... A chef in search of meat from the beast... "The Old Lady"...
    • <Spring>: A windmill... A large lake... An island where sand stretches to the sky...
    • <Fort>: Samurai and ninjas... Pirates... Contraband...
  • Once you have spoken to all four NPCs, return to Anastase.


    • It is worth noting that simply flagging the first quest gives you the opportunity to flag any of the subsequent teleports and use them without completing the quests. So, for instance, once you've flagged Researches from the West you can unlock any of the geomagnetic founts associated with the subsequent quests like Quicksand caves and warp to them.
