An Errand! The Professor's Price

Walkthrough

 * Obtain one or more of the Orb of Batons, Orb of Cups, Orb of Coins, and Orb of Swords key item from Cardians. Only one is needed to begin the fight, but you must have obtained an orb to receive the Ripe Starfruit.
 * Any level Cardian will drop the Key Items, if you are soloing this fight, it is recommended to acquire more then one orb, as each additional orb lowers the amount of Custom Cardians spawned and removes an immunity from them (See Notes).


 * Head to (H-3) Outer Horutoto Ruins in East Sarutabaruta to spawn the Custom Cardians. The ??? is located at an Ancient Magical Gizmo directly in front of you when you zone in.
 * The Custom Cardians will spawn unclaimed, and are extremely weak, the fight is similar to the Mandragora fight from A Crystalline Prophecy.


 * Return to Shantotto where she will tell you to meet her in Jeuno and demand 5000gil for her services.
 * Note: If you choose no, you will need to zone and ask her again, you need to pay her in order to advance to the next mission.
 * Return to the Inconspicuous Door for a cutscene.

The Fight

 * Clicking the ??? will spawn several (15) Custom Cardian mobs. They must all be defeated to win.
 * You will also be put in a level cap and have a BCNM icon once your party spawns the mobs.
 * Buffs are not lost once the battle starts.
 * The mobs have poor accuracy, and moderate hp.
 * Cast Ancient Magic (Freeze and Tornado seen)
 * The Cardians are susceptible to Sleep, regardless of whether or not the Orb of Coins is used.
 * See notes below.

The Professor consents to lend you her aid, but as expected, there's a price to be paid. Within a Cardian in the Outer Horutoto Ruins lies the reagent she does seek; return it to her, that you might avert a fate most bleak!
