Dungeons and Dancers

Walkthrough

 * Examine the Regal Pawprints at (G-9) for a cutscene. They are located on the same level as the Campaign Arbiter (C.A.) near the edge of the cliff overlooking the Pso'Xja tower on the level below.
 * Caution: There are true-sight Dryptotaurs around and along the way to this set of Regal Pawprints.


 * Have the party leader examine the Regal Pawprints again to enter Everbloom Hollow.
 * All party members must have an Aroma Bug to participate.
 * If you fail, you will have to get a new Aroma Bug from the Regal Pawprints at the southern Pso'Xja tower at (H-10). An Aroma Bug may be obtained once per Vana'diel day.
 * Other party members do not need to be near the Regal Pawprints to be teleported.

Fight

 * This is not so much a fight as it is a Campaign Ops/Assault-styled mission.
 * Buffs are lost upon entry.
 * You have 30 minutes to complete this mission.
 * At the start of the mission, each party member will receive 2 Ratstail Explosives that you can use to demolish stone walls marked with ???.
 * Goblin Reavers and Giddy Bombs roam the tunnels. Both are fairly weak and have low HP, being between easy prey and decent challenge to most jobs at 75. They are immune to Sleep, Gravity, and Bind. When killed, Goblin Reavers will leave behind a glowing ??? that awards additional Ratstail Explosives. You can only carry 3 explosives at a time.
 * If a Giddy Bomb Self-Destructs near a ??? it will explode in the same way a Ratstail Explosive would.
 * Giddy Bombs are true sight.

First Map

Your overall objective on this map is to travel to a wall at the far north of the map. Exanime the ??? for a cutscene and place a jar of Firesand. Once you know the fuse color you need to hit the correct switch.


 * You can destroy ??? walls with Ratstail Explosives to open pathways for shorter routes.
 * Take note of the colored switches you pass (you will need to hit the correct one once you've had the cs' at the north wall).
 * The destroyed wall will lead to another map.

Second Map

Your overall objective is to get to the blue tornado at the lower right of I-9. Get there any way needed (may need more Ratstail Explosives by killing enemies or bombs.


 * Examine the blue tornado to exit and receive a cutscene to complete the mission.
 * After the cutscene, you will receive the key item Umbra Bug, which is used to enter the next battlefield.


 * Fight is soloable by many jobs. Jobs confirmed: Thief, Summoner, Blue Mage, Paladin, Dragoon.

An easy route to the end is to take the first right wall you come to at H-9. Blow up the next right wall at I-9, then kill the Goblin Reaver for 3 more Ratstail Explosives. Follow the map route to J-8, avoid the Giddy bomb and place the Firesand on the ??? after the cs. Backtrack to where you killed the Goblin Reaver and blow up the north wall at H-8. There is a green switch and a Giddy Bomb at I-8. Avoid the bomb and press the switch. Head back to J-8 and the cave should be cleared. The next map, take the southeast route to H-9 and blow up the wall there. Continue your way to I-9 and blow up the wall with your remaining Ratstail Explosive. Follow the right wall to I-9 and that should be it.

Total Ratstail Explosives used: 5
