San d'Oria-Mission 2-3

Walkthrough

 * Talk to the gate guard to obtain this mission. The gate guard will send you to Halver inside the castle.  Halver will give you the Letter to the Consuls and tell you to travel to Bastok and Windurst and go to the embassy.  Which nation you visit first is up to you.

Bastok

 * Head to the Consulate of San d'Oria in the Metalworks at (I-9) on the second floor and speak to Savae E Paleade to activate a cutscene.
 * Enter the Department of Industry adjacent to the President's Office and speak to Pius.
 * Walk to the Craftsmen's Eatery at (G-9) and speak to Grohm. He will give you a few Pickaxes for your mission.
 * You are able to buy additional Pickaxes from different shops to help with the mission. Pickaxes have a chance of breaking when mining so having more will save you the trip of returning to Bastok and purchasing more.
 * Head to the Palborough Mines located in North Gustaberg at (K-3).
 * If you are of a low level, you may want to bring Silent Oils to prevent aggro from Quadavs.
 * Upon entering Palborough Mines, locate a Mythril Seam point and mine for Mine Gravel by trading the Pickaxes to the point.
 * A Mythril Seam is located at (F-7) on the first floor of the area.
 * It may take several attempts to obtain a Mine Gravel.
 * If you receive the message "You find a chunk of mine gravel, but your pixaxe breaks in the process." you actually successfully get the mine gravel.
 * Once you obtain a Mine Gravel, go to (I-8) and take the elevator to the third floor.
 * Head to (I-6) to find a refiner. Trade the Mine Gravel to the Refiner Lid. Pull the lever on the refiner to activate it.
 * Drop off the ledge to the floor below you. Locate the second lever and pull it. This will give you the Mythril Sand.
 * You can easily go back to Bastok Mines by taking the boat on H-8 on the map with the burned hole on it.
 * Return to Metalworks and trade the Mythril Sand to Savae E Paleade to complete this portion of the mission.

Windurst

 * Now head to Windurst and go to the San d'Orian embassy in Windurst Woods. Talk to Mourices and Forine (G-10) inside the embassy. They will ask you to go to Heavens Tower in Windurst Walls. Inside the tower, Kupipi (in the clerical chamber straight ahead from entrance) will give you a Key Item: Dark Key that will get you inside Balga's Dais.
 * Everyone in your party must have this item to enter the BC, or have completed 2-3 previously in their current nation of allegiance. One person cannot get others into the fight who do not have the Dark Key, even if they are currently on this part of the mission, unless they have completed the mission in their current nation of allegiance.


 * Head to Giddeus. Only Invisible is needed inside Giddeus. Bringing some form of Reraise is recommended. Buffs wear upon entry.


 * Once inside Giddeus, head to (G-12) to zone into Balga's Dais. Upon entering the battlefield and receiving a cutscene, you will find the Searcher and Black Dragon. The recommended order of the fight is to kill Searcher, then Black Dragon.  The BLM should use Elemental Seal + Sleep on the dragon while everyone kills the Searcher.  Once the Searcher is gone, the Black Dragon will die quickly.  This dragon has a very potent AOE poison attack that does 10 damage per tick, which makes antidotes necessary.  He also may curse the tanks.


 * Once the Black Dragon is defeated, another cutscene will happen. When you exit, you will be transported to West Sarutabaruta.  Report to Mourices at the embassy.  You will be rewarded with the key item Kindred Report.  The embassy will tell you that this part of mission is done.  It is time to talk to Halver.

Windurst

 * Head to the Consulate of San d'Oria in Windurst Woods at (G-10) and talk to Mourices to receive word of the situation.
 * Enter Heavens Tower in Windurst Walls at (H-7) for a cutscene.
 * Enter the Clerical Chamber and speak to Kupipi. She will give you a Key Item: Shield Offering.
 * Head to Giddeus in West Sarutabaruta at (F-8).
 * Upon entering Giddeus, you will need to defeat Zhuu Buxu the Silent and obtain 2 Parana Shields.
 * To get to Zhuu Buxu the Silent, head to the path at (I-8) on the first map and go down the tunnels. Then, make your way to (H-7) on the second map.
 * Zhuu Buxu the Silent can aggro and link with the surrounding Yagudo.
 * After defeating him, a Parana Shield will drop.
 * The respawn time for Zhuu Buxu the Silent is 15 minutes. You will need to wait until he appears again to gain the second Parana Shield.
 * After obtaining 2 Parana Shields, make your way to (F-7) and speak to Uu Zhoumo to give the Shield Offering.
 * Return to Windurst and speak to Kupipi. (Just found out that this is optional by accidentally skipping the step. You can go straight to trading the 2 Parana Shields to Mourices after giving the offering to Uu Zhoumo.)
 * Return to the Consulate of San d'Oria and speak to Mourices. Trade him the Parana Shields as proof of your completed task.

Bastok

 * Head to the Consulate of San d'Oria in the Metalworks at (H-9) on the second floor and speak to Savae E Paleade to activate a cutscene.
 * Enter the Department of Industry adjacent to the President's Office and speak to Pius.
 * Walk to the Craftsmen's Eatery at (G-9) and speak to Grohm.
 * Head to the Palborough Mines located in North Gustaberg at (K-3). Then, make your way to third floor of the mines and enter the Waughroon Shrine.
 * If you are of a low level, you may want to bring Silent Oils to prevent aggro from Quadavs.
 * The Waughroon Shrine is located at (H-10) on the third floor.
 * Check the Burning Circle and select "The Rank 2 Final Mission".
 * This will initiate a BCNM with two monsters:
 * Seeker
 * Dark Dragon
 * The BCNM is not capped.


 * Defeat the two monsters to obtain the Key Item: Kindred Crest.
 * After you've won the BCNM you can exit back into Palborough Mines travel a short distance on that map to H-8 where you can board one of the lever activated ferries and return to Zeruhn Mines which is connected to Bastok Mines.
 * Return to Bastok and speak to Savae E Paleade to obtain the Key Item: Kindred Report and to complete this portion of the mission.
