The Salt of the Earth

Bastok-Mission 9-1

Walkthrough

 * Trade 8 stacks of crystals to the Conquest Overseer, or do repeat missions to obtain this mission as an option.
 * Get the mission from the gate guard and then talk to Alois in the president's office (through the door to the "Conference Room" on the left as you face the President's Office) for a cutscene.
 * Talk to Dancing Wolf (G-7) in Rabao.
 * Go to Gustav Tunnel and go to G-6 on the second map. Spawn the NM by clicking on the ???.
 * It is recommended that one person pops the NM slime by targeting the ??? in the water, and a BLM sleeps it right away to avoid aggro by the skeletons in the room.
 * Do not attempt this fight without having at least a balanced party of 6 level 75 members or more. One has to be incredibly careful when handling the slimes.
 * After popping the mob, sneak up again if necessary and run back to the camp (you will not lose sneak by popping the mob, unless you get hit). **H-7 tunnel is a safe fighting area**
 * The fight starts off with one Gigaplasm. Once you kill it, it turns into two Macroplasms. Each one of those turns into two Microplasms and each one of those turn into two Nanoplasms.
 * Be sure your mages target only one plasm at a time, and have your black mages sleep the rest.
 * After you defeat all the Plasms, sneak everyone and run to the ???. Touch it to aquire the Miraclesalt (key item).
 * Anyone who is KO'd at this point and is not quick enough getting raised, cured, and sneaked, will not be able to get the key item and have to fight the NMs again. If people are dead, it is best to sleep the last nanoplasm, raise everyone, then kill it off.


 * After you aquire the key item, return to Rabao and talk to Dancing Wolf for a cutscene.
 * Return to the president's office and talk to Alois again to complete the mission.
 * Optional: You can speak to Iron Eater for a short CS dialogue about the new Talekeeper.
