Walkthrough

• Talk to Salim to get a cutscene. He is standing on the balcony overlooking the north elevator.
• Next go to the Temple of the Goddess at the bottom of Metalworks and examine the ??? on the alter for a cutscene with Miledo-Shiraddo and Luto Mewrilah.
• Choose one of seven different items to help you in the quest. Whichever you choose will determine your reward:
  1. Scope -> Silent Oil
  2. Bard's Harp -> Prism Powder
  3. Snare -> Hi-Ether
  4. Lead Guardsman's ID -> Hi-Potion
  5. Lucky Charm -> Key Ring Belt
  6. Pocket Watch -> Hermes Quencher
  7. Costume Kit -> Icarus Wing
  • Darha (North side of open area just outside Blacksmith Guild)
  • Folzen (In corridor leading to Blacksmith Guild)
  • Helmut (Middle of Lower Floor)
  • Hungry Wolf (Craftsmen's Eatery, Upper Floor)
  • Striking Snake (Gunpowder Rum, Upper Floor)
• Decipher the order (The order is different everytime).
• Examine the switches...
  • The small switch is in the Cermet Refinery to the right just as you enter.
  • The medium switch is near the entrance next to Quasim.
  • The large switch is at the big furnace in the corridor leading to the Blacksmithing Guild.
• ...and get ready to deal with Galkas:
  • If the galka is Militant Gale (who says something about wanting a drink), send Miledo-Shiraddo.
  • If the galka is Gentle Tiger (who says something about thieves being low), send Luto Mewrilah.
  • When you're using the Lucky Charm you may also run into the Lead Guardsman who you can use the Charm on a few times to get to the switch.
  • If you chose the correct switch and the correct response, you will distract the guard, and then hit the switch. Depending on the item you choose to start out with you may get some additional characters showing in the cutscenes. The one with the Snares is particually funny.
    • If you did it correctly, you will get a message saying "The <number> switch has been deactivated."
    • If you did it incorrectly, you might still be able to hit the switch, but you will get no message.
    • Or you will just fail to distract and the guard will catch Luto or Mildeo.
• Once you finish them all, you get a message saying "You hear a noise coming from the Temple of the Goddess."
• Go back to the Temple and check the ??? to get a final cutscene and to complete the quest.

Note

If you get caught, you can free the person caught by going to the Hume Male in the Craftsman's Eatery and then the Galka child who you got the switch order from near the blacksmith guild, Folzen I believe.
