Walkthrough

Trade enough Crystals to any San d'Orian Conquest Overseer to raise your Rank bar and unlock this Mission. (1 should be enough)

• Speak to any Gate Guard and accept the Mission from the list.
  • There are two in Southern San d'Oria, Ambrotien at (K-6) and Endracion at (F-9). There is also a gate guard in Northern San d'Oria, Grilau at (D-8).
  • A Map of La Theine Plateau and Ordelle's Caves can be purchased from the Map NPCs in Northern San d'Oria and Southern San d'Oria, but it is not required.
• Head to La Theine Plateau and speak to Galaihaurat at (E-6). Please note this NPC is at the very top of the cliffs just off the main path near a short brick wall.
  • Remember that Map –> Wide Scan is your friend, look for the only green dot near the bottom of (E-6).
  • If instead of saying the mission's normal dialogue, "Are you in the rescue drill? Head to the other side of the valley over there. One of my compatriots will assist you.", he (and nearly every other NPC) instead says "The suspect appears to have taken refuge within Ordelle's Caves. We will follow our training drills and stick to our posts!", then you have a conflicting quest active, A Timely Visit :
    • If you're in this state, you will have a rather unusual time with this quest – all the optional dialogue will prioritize the lines from that quest instead of this mission. Only Vicorpasse and Laurisse will prioritize dialogue specific to this mission instead of the conflicting quest.
    • You might want to finish up that quest by interacting with Narvecaint, done both near the beginning and the end of that quest, and referring to the guide for that quest to do the rest.
    • However, it's not required to do it first. Necessary interactions after talking to Ruillont will work once to allow you to progress in the mission where needed, before reverting to dialogue from the quest. It's possible to complete the mission in full.
      • As Galaihaurat never provides mission-related dialogue in this state and only gives dialogue from the quest, talking to him might be entirely Optional in the first place. (This could be confirmed on a fresh character by skipping straight to Ruillont )
• Descend into the canyon at (F-6), on the east side. Continue south into Ordelle's Caves.
  • (Optional): Talk to Galaihaurat, Equesobillot, Deaufrain, Vicorpasse, Augevinne, Yaucevouchat, Laurisse, and Narvecaint for additional dialogue.
• Follow the left wall and talk to Ruillont (G-3) by the pond.
• Go back to La Theine Plateau. One of three NPCs will give you a Bronze Sword: talk to Deaufrain and Equesobillot (F-6) on the ramp, and if necessary, Galaihaurat (E-6) by the road.
  • The "companion" you have to talk to seems entirely random for each player. All other NPCs will continue saying their prior phrases as if you hadn't seen Ruillont at all, but these three will respond with one of the two phrases:

"Ruillont's sword? Don't look at me; I've nothing of the sort"!

"Ruillont's sword? Yes, I was keeping it for him during training. [...]"

• Return to Ruillont and trade him the sword.
  • If you have tragically already misplaced the sword and have no way to recover it, you'll need to acquire a new Bronze Sword from somewhere else.
    • The NPC above who was keeping it will say "Didn't I give you his sword? Just hand it to Ruillont. Don't you lose it!" and does not appear to be able to miraculously give you another one, even if you zone after ridding yourself of it.
• Go back to La Theine Plateau. Talk to Vicorpasse (F-6) for Rescue training certificate.
• Return to a Gate Guard to complete the Mission.
