Walkthrough

• Zone into Windurst Waters (S) for a Cutscene.
  
• Go to Sauromugue Champaign (S) and talk to Mham Lahrih at the south-west corner of (K-9) on the top level of a small fort for a cutscene.
  
• Click on the Abandoned Mineshaft at the bottom of the stairs for another cutscene and to receive your Signal Firecracker.
  • If mission failed and Signal Firecracker was lost, you can get a new one by talking to Mham Lahrih again.
    • You may only get one replacement each Vana'diel day.
• Enter Ghoyu's Reverie via the Abandoned Mineshaft. Up to a full party can come, provided they have a Signal Firecracker, if its their first time. Otherwise, if anyone has completed the quest before, they will not need a Signal Firecracker to enter, only someone with one to participate.
  • Buffs cast outside the battlefield do not wear off when you enter!
  • Remember that TP WILL be lost due to changing Areas!
  • Romaa Mihgo and her Wildcat Volunteers assist you in this Assault style fight.
  • The objective is to destroy the Confederate Belfry.
    • The Confederate Belfry has approximately 13,500 to 14,000 HP (AMII for 1100 dmg took about 8% off)
    • The Confederate Belfry spawns Quadav after taking damage.
  • There are a number of Quadav that are present at the beginning of the fight. Approx. 12 Quadav at beginning of battle of various types including Nickel Quadav, Zircon Quadav, Silver Quadav & Bo'Dho's Shieldwarrior.
    • The Quadav seem to initially have hate on a specific Mithra. Can be pulled away normally, but difficult due to Mithra's attacking.
      • The mithra have a specific target they will head for after reaching their spot in the arena. (Ran in and ES + Sleepga II all the quadav and the mithras ran to attack their target quadav anyway)
    • Quadav show no apparent resistance to sleep, bind, or gravity.
  • Eventually, a number of Gigas will spawn as reinforcements.
  • Romaa Mihgo must be kept alive. If she dies, the quest ends in failure. Note: It is possible to attack the Confederate Belfry "zerg" style and win, since defeating it would end the battle. However, Romaa has low defense. She and the Wildcat Volunteers are very fragile and will die quickly if not repeatedly cured.
    • A BLU and MNK duo managed to get the belfry to 8% using 2hrs and zerg tactics before Romaa Mihgo died, having a 3rd person would've been a guaranteed win no matter what job they used.
    • Successfully trio'd with blm/rdm, mnk/nin, cor/whm. mnk and blm zerg the belfry, cor buffs party before fight and then keeps romaa alive.
    • You cannot buff Romaa Mihgo or any of the Wildcat Volunteers.
  • Seems somewhat impossible to solo, the mithra npcs die rather quickly without some form of assistance.
  • As this is not a mission battlefield, KO will result in exp loss.
  • Because the battle takes place in a different zone, ejection from the BC will cause Raise/Reraise status to be lost if you are KO'd upon ejection.
• Talk to Dhea Prandoleh in Windurst Waters (S) to complete the quest.
• Check the Door: Lion Springs Tavern in Southern San d'Oria (S) at (K-6) for a cutscene to complete the mission In the Name of the Father.
