Vain

Windurst-Mission 8-1

Walkthrough

 * Talk to any gate guard to activate this mission after filling the rank bar approximately 30%. (Trade about five stacks of crystals.)
 * Once activated go to Aurastery in Northern Windurst Waters, and speak to Moreno-Toeno at (L-6) for a cutscene, who gives you the key item Star Seeker.
 * You also receive the title "Fugitive Minister Bounty Hunter" at this point.


 * Travel to Ro'Maeve and examine the Qu'Hau Spring at H-6 for a cutscene.
 * Because every monster is aggressive to Magic in Ro'Maeve, Silent Oil is recommended.


 * Travel to Davoi and head through the H-11 entrance to the Monastic Cavern.
 * Enter back into Davoi from the Monastic Cavern at I-8 and speak to Sedal-Godjal at J-8.
 * Ascend the elevator at H-8 and prepare to kill or sneak by the Orcs roaming outside the house.
 * Through the two Oak Doors of the house is a level 71 Black Mage NM named Dirtyhanded Gochakzuk flanked by 2-3 assorted Orcs.
 * Note: Do not forget Poison Potion because this NM uses Sleepga.
 * Note: If you do not have the manpower to fight through everything toward the house. A convenient method was for one member to hold a monster at the back wall to the house, while another member standing below casts an AoE, inflicting it upon Dirtyhanded Gochakzuk through the wall, who will begin casting and walking toward the caster. The member who held the monster as well as the one casting the AoE should work their way to the Monastic Cavern (Behind the House) and zone in and out, while a third party member claims Dirtyhanded Gochakzuk as it runs past, pulling it to the cliff alongside the zone to Monastic Cavern (Dubbed the Lion-King).
 * Note: If you use the strategy above and need more than 2 Curse Wands you can just clear the house and camp inside after killing the NM the first time.


 * Dirtyhanded Gochakzuk drops two Curse Wands upon being defeated. Each member of the party needs a Curse Wand to complete the quest.
 * Head to J-8 Davoi and return to Sedal-Godjal and trade him the Curse Wand for a cutscene.
 * Return to Moreno-Toeno in the Aurastery to complete the mission.
