Walkthrough
- Talk to Balasiel (F-7) in Southern San d'Oria.
- Next, talk to Chanpau (E-7) in Southern San d'Oria.
- The following steps are optional. You can immediately head to La Theine Plateau without talking to either Chanpau or Morjean and still complete the quest.
- Zone into Northern San d'Oria, and talk to Morjean in the Cathedral (L-7). (This step cannot be completed if you are currently between the steps of speaking with Morjean and collecting the Wyvern Egg for the Dragoon flag quest The Holy Crest.)
NOTE: If Morjean will only say "Ah, good day. I am Morjean, a researcher here...", it doesn't hold up the quest. Before heading out, be sure to have some sort of Sneak/Invisible to avoid aggro, and Warp for a quick escape once you have the Stalactite Dew.
- Travel to La Theine Plateau, enter the ravine at F-6. After passing the Equesobillot NPC, follow the left wall until you zone into Ordelle's Caves.
- These are directions for one who starts at the north end of Map 2:
- Following the right wall, travel to G-4 (Map 2, A). You are now on Map 1.
- Following the right wall, travel to G-6 (Map 1, C). You are now on Map 2.
- To your left, touch the ??? that rests in the pool of water.
NOTE: Keep Sneak up at all times! In this room, Shriekers, Hognosed Bats, and Jellies aggro by sound.
- Quickly search for the second ??? near the center of this room to receive the Key Item: Stalactite Dew. If you did not receive the key item, you have missed a step or you took too long between the ??? points.
NOTE: It is possible for a Will-o'-the-Wisp to be by the pool or the Stalactite and it will aggro by sight.
- Return to Balasiel for your recognition. You can take A Knight's Test without having to zone after completing the quest if the requirement has been passed.
Game Description
- Client
- Balasiel (Watchdog Alley, Southern San d'Oria)

Game Script
SPOILER WARNING: Details about the Final Fantasy XI in-game storyline follow.
Southern San d'Oria
If you're below 15th level:
Balasiel: You're a little too new at this to undertake my challenge. Train further, and return here once you feel ready.
Once you're 15th level or above:
Balasiel: Ah, you've come quite a way since last we met, I see. I believe you're ready for another task! I'd like you to go to Ordelle's Caves. You'll find the entrance in a valley on La Theine Plateau. Those caves are also called the “Body Caves.” Know you why? It is because the caves are shaped much like the body of a person. You are acquainted with its structure, yes? Where in a body would lie the belly, in the caves flows a waterfall of much beauty. I want you to visit the waterfall, and return hither. I want proof of your trip, however. Bring me something out from that place. You must choose something. Come to think of it, the time I sent another to the waterfall, he, too, had quite a hard time! Heh-heh.
Chanpau: Proof that you went to the waterfall, eh? Hah! Old man Balasiel's got you running errands now, has he? I'll tell you, but don't say a word to the old man! Stand with your back to the waterfall, and look up at the ceiling of the cave. You'll see a shining stalactite. Bring some Stalactite Dew back and you'll be a real spelunker, you will. Eh? How to get the drop? Ah...right. It's odd, but I can't seem to remember how I did it. That was a long time ago, you see. Hmm... Maybe you could try reading up on it. I'm sure it's outlined somewhere.
Northern San d'Oria
Morjean: Some Stalactite Dew? I'm not entirely certain, but perhaps I have heard a story about this thing you seek. In order to get some Stalactite Dew, your hands must not be dry... I'm sure that's what I read. But it was so many years ago... That's all I know... I do hope it will be of some use to you.
Morjean: Did you find the dew? No, no, there's no need to thank me. It is my job to delve into the mysteries of this land, one at a time.
Southern San d'Oria
Balasiel: Ah, you're back, and in one piece! And you've brought proof of your trip to the waterfall. Well done! Here, a certificate to mark your accomplishment. Keep it always! When you've progressed further, visit me again. Next time, a thorough test of your mettle will be in order!
