Note: You cannot start this Quest if you have a other Weapon Skill Quest active or if you are on the Quest Cid's Secret.

Walkthrough

• Speaking with Cid will grant you the Weapon training guide as well as the Gun of Trials.
• You will need to break the latent on the Gun of Trials before completing the rest of the Quest.

Breaking the Latent

• With the Gun of Trials equipped in your Main hand, you must fight Extremely Easy Prey or higher mobs, and perform Weapon Skills or close Skillchains to accumulate 300 "Trial Points".

Skillchain Level	Trial Points
No Skillchain	1
Level 1	2
Level 2	3
Level 3	5

• You'll know the latent is broken when the elemental resistances listed on the Gun of Trials description have disappeared from the elemental resistances in the equipment window. Your elemental resistances are listed underneath your equipped gear grid.

---

• Trade the Gun of Trials back to Cid. This will give you the Map to the Annals of Truth.
• You will be instructed to travel to The Boyahda Tree.
  • Short path (if you have the The Boyahda Tree Home Point, near Cloister of Storms):
    • Take the The Boyahda Tree Home Point, run to (G-10) and go south into a tunnel, inside examine ??? to spawn the NM.
  • Otherwise, long path:
    • Take Silent Oil with you and head to The Sanctuary of Zi'Tah.
    • Travel to (J-12) and enter The Boyahda Tree just to the north.
    • Inside the Tree, follow the path until it opens into a large room; this should be around (I-8). Travel northwest to (G-7) and fall over the ledge. Continue northwest to (C-4) and enter the tunnel there. Follow it as it curves to the south, and then travel south to the tunnel at (A-6).
    • When you exit the tunnel, you will be in a large area with several waterfalls leading down and a large tree in the center. This area is populated with Korrigan and Elder Goobbue. Travel south to (G-10) tunnel, just inside is the ??? to spawn the NM.
    • This fight is against Beet Leafhopper, a Fly. It is weak to Ice.
    • Once you kill it, re-examine the ??? to receive the Annals of Truth.
• Go back and speak with Cid to receive your reward.
