Sugar-coated Directive

Walkthrough

 * After the cutscene with Domina Shantotto in Qufim Island. She will ask you to attach seals to 3 out of the 6 Protocrystals.
 * Upon examining a Protocrystal you will get a message saying something has stymied your attempt to attach the seal
 * Examine the Protocrystal again and you will be offered entrance to a BCNM entitled: "Sugar-Coated Directive"
 * Buffs WILL wear when you enter the battlefield, including TP and Reraise.
 * Enter to face a much weaker version of the corresponding Prime Avatar
 * Examine Protocrystal again after winning the battlefield to attach the Domina seal and obtain a Counterseal
 * After you have won at least 3 battlefields and received 3 counterseals, return to the Trodden Snow in Qufim Island for cutscene
 * Gil reward seems to be based on the amount you complete. Defeating all 6 grants you a 50,000 gil reward when you turn in the seals.

 Strategies 
 * The avatars only have access to their corresponding 2-Hour ability, and cannot use any other Blood Pacts during the fight.
 * Garuda may use Whispering Wind during the fight. Other avatars may also have access to other Blood Pacts, but it needs confirmation.
 * The avatars will use their 2-Hour ability whenever they have TP at more-or-less a standard rate until they fall below 50% HP. Upon reaching 50% HP, the avatar will no longer melee, and instead use their 2-Hour ability repeatedly.
 * Upon reaching 1% HP, the avatar for some reason will endure a much larger amount of damage, and may have to take ~1500 more points of damage before being defeated.
 * Soloable easily by generally any level 75 job given a standard melee/solo build.
 * You are able to repeat the fights when helping others after having completed the fight yourself. (need verification if someone who has not completed the fight or is not on the same mission can also enter this fight)

 Specific Avatars 


 * All avatars spam their Astral Flow ability throughout the fight, though it is considerably weak.
 * Unlike primes fought during the Trial quests, physical attacks seem to be more effective than magical ones.
 * Titan uses Earthen Fury repeatedly but they seem to be weak, doing beteween 50-100 at 100-40~%, then up to 200-300 at the last 20%, i don't know if its a bug but when you get the prime to 1%, it doesn't die right away. (I did another 1800HP worth of damage before he eventually died.)
 * Garuda uses Aerial Blast repeatedly but did ~100 damage to a 75 BLU/NIN
 * Fought Ramuh on Watersday, Didn't start using Judgment Bolt until 70% and they were all weak 30-60 per (even at 10%) SAM/DNC, I did Sekkanoki Rana(1204)+ Gekko(1111) with a 1401 Darkness, Took Ramuh prime to 14%. Rest was easily taken down by conventional Soboro/DNC methods... extremely easy fight.
 * 400 Experience/Limit points gained for winning battlefield
 * Fought appallingly easily as solo smn. Shiva had NO 1%hp buff. 
 * 75 Rng/Sam killed Ramuh, Shiva, Garuda in < 2mins each.Aryden 22:53, November 10, 2009 (UTC)
