Return of the Talekeeper

Bastok-Mission 6-1

Walkthrough

 * Trade 3 stacks of crystals to the Bastok Gate Guard to unlock the mission.
 * Alternatively, you can turn in 10 Lizard Eggs with the mission Wading Beasts to be able to access this mission.


 * After obtaining this mission, the gate guard will tell you to go to Bastok Mines and talk to Medicine Eagle at (H-6).
 * You must then go talk to Drake Fang who is at (H-6) in Zeruhn Mines next to the boat from Palborough Mines. You will see a cutscene where Iron Eater will approve your mission and tell you to go check out Altepa.
 * Go to the center of Western Altepa Desert (Revelation Rock). Southwest of the rock is a ??? at (G-8). Examine it, and the Western Sphinx and Eastern Sphinx will pop.
 * Kill one or both of the Western Sphinx and Eastern Sphinx.
 * Recomended party is 10-12 level 60+ players. Also solo'd by many level 75 jobs using /NIN subjob.
 * Western Sphinx and Eastern Sphinx are immune to Sleep and Lullaby.
 * Only Western Sphinx or Eastern Sphinx must be killed.
 * The sphinx each pop on top of the poles that are closest together. When they are popped, they face one another. This means you can pop with Sneak up standing on the north side of the poles, and pull one safely away from the other (Western Sphinx and Eastern Sphinx do not link).
 * Do not kill the Sphinx you pulled until the other one depops, then you can obtain your Altepa Moonpebble shortly after the kill.


 * After killing the Sphinxes, check the ??? again to get an Altepa Moonpebble.
 * Talk to Tall Mountain downstairs (J-7) in Bastok Mines on Ore Street by the "Restricted Section" in order to complete this mission.
