Walkthrough

Trade enough Crystals to the Conquest NPC to raise your Rank bar and unlock the Mission.

• Speak with a Gate Guard who will instruct you to go to the Garden in Chateau d'Oraguille.
• Head for Chateau d'Oraguille and go towards (F-8). You will receive a cutscene.
• Return to the Gate Guard to receive the Mission.
• If you're low level, gather a party and/or use Trusts.
  • Only players who are on 7-2 or have completed it may enter.
  • It is recommended that you bring a BLM and/or a BRD for sleeping the mobs.
• You will have to reach Horlais Peak, accessible via travelling through Ghelsba Outpost and Yughott Grotto.
  • Yughott Grotto Home Point #1 places you right ouside the entrance to the Peak.
• Once you're there, get ready and enter the BC.
  • The fight is against 3 Orcs and 2 Warmachines:
  • Darokbok of Clan Reaper (Level 68, PLD)
  • Derakbak of Clan Wolf (Level 68, DRG)
  • Jagidbod of Clan Reaper (Level 68, RNG)
  • Wolf Clan Warmachine (Level 68)
  • Reaper Clan Warmachine (Level 68)
  • Open the fight with Elemental Seal + Sleepga II. Fight the Warmachines first, then the Paladin, the Dragoon and Wyvern, and the Ranger last. A Melee/NIN can pretty easily solo any of the NMs. Prioritize the Warmachines.
• When finished, you'll receive another cutscene, and receive the Crystal dowser.
• Head back to San d'Oria and speak to any Gate Guard to finish the mission.

Notes

This mission can be carefully soloed by BLM/RDM. Kill the Warmachines first, then RNG. If you have problems landing sleep on the PLD, he can be killed next; if there are few issues, keep him alive for Aspir and target the DRG. Ignore the wyvern, you will still exit the BC with a win once all Orcs are dead if the wyvern is still alive: Instead, keep him slept and use for Aspir. Use Gravity and Bind (though do not waste the MP for these on the RNG, obviously, as he still attacks from a distance). Try to silence the PLD to prevent him from curing himself.
