Coming of Age

How to obtain this mission
Repeat San d'Oria Mission 1-2 or San d'Oria Mission 3-2 until "Coming of Age" is available. This usually happens when Mission 1-2 is repeated 8 or 9 times.

Walkthrough
After accepting this mission go talk to Halver. After a cutscene, keep talking to Halver until he tells you to head to Quicksands Caves to get a key item.

Now get an alliance of level 65+. Level 65 is borderline when it comes to aggro to the anticans and sabotenders, so they should test the mobs out ahead of time. Anyone under level 65 will need sneak. Take the G-9 enterance of Quicksand Caves in Eastern Altepa Desert. Head east until you can no longer head east. At this point, you will make a left turn and head south. Drop down the hole at the end of the room. Once you land, hug the left wall and you will find yourself at the Fountain of Kings.

If you have beastmasters in the alliance, have them charm the sabotenders in the room. Start clearing out the remaining sabotenders and antica in the room and the connecting hallway.

Once the alliance is ready, have someone sneak up and inspect the fountain. 2 kraken type NM will pop, Honor and Valor. Kraken-type mobs will not link, thus the person that inspects the fountain must be sneaked. Have a ranger stand as far back as they can and pull Honor. Honor will use a AOE paralyze move several times just like any kraken type mob will do. Once Honor is defeated, wait til Valor has despawned. When this happens, everyone should inspect the fountain for a key item.

Return to Halver to finish this mission.
