Walkthrough
- Trade 8 stacks of crystals to one of the gate guards, or repeat Mission 1-2 10 times.
- After accepting the mission, go directly to the Great Hall in the Chateau d'Oraguille.
- After the cutscene with Trion, Pieuje, the papasque Shamonde, and Princess Claidie, begin travelling to Valley of Sorrows
- Be sure to come as a job that can Sneak and Invisible itself, or purchase several Silent Oils and Prism Powders, and start gathering the first two key items. The key items must be obtained in order.
- Key items can not be skipped even if someone else pops the rocs.
- Key item #1 is located at I-8 in Valley of Sorrows.
- Take the entrance from Cape Teriggan that is guarded by Sand Cockatrices and Greater Manticores at (J-8). After zoning, Sneak will be needed to get by the Velociraptors and Invisible will be needed for Perytons and Valley Manticores.
- The ??? is located along a wall right before you take a one-way drop at I-9. Wait for the Manticores and Perytons to look away from the ??? before dropping Invisible to check the ???.
- Once ??? is inspected, an event will take place and you will receive a key item, Figure of Titan.
- Key item #2 is located at H-7 in Xarcabard.
- The ??? is located in the upper level among some trees on your left as you go up the slope.
- Click the ??? to receive the second key item, Figure of Garuda.
- Once both key items have been obtained, get a full alliance of level 65+. Make sure everyone has Sneak or Silent Oils.
- Take the southern Eldieme Necropolis entrance located at (I-10) from Batallia Downs. Head to the southern room of Eldieme and drop down the center hole at G-9. Once you land, head east and you will be on a new map. Just head south, taking a right turn at the first intersection and a left at the second intersection.
- After you zone into Batallia Island, take a right turn towards the stone monument. If Ahtu is out, defeat him first.
- Once everyone is ready, inspect the ??? that is located on a cliff. The ??? is located to the south, near the Stone Monument. This will spawn 2 Rocs type NMs:
- Suparna: Warrior type NM; Special Attacks: Horde Lullaby, Massacre Elegy, Magic Finale, Giga Scream, Dread Dive, Mighty Strikes.
- Suparna Fledgling: White Mage type NM; Special Attacks: Horde Lullaby, Massacre Elegy, Magic Finale, Giga Scream, Dread Dive, Benediction.
- (see testimonials)
- Have a Red Mage put Gravity on Suparna and take it for a walk on the island, or cast Sleep if enfeebling skill is high enough, as the Rocs are not immune to Sleep (both birds will not resist the other debuffs, however, but they will not last long). Everyone else needs to concentrate on the Fledgling. Both birds will use the 2hr abilities of their jobs. Suparna, although it hits around 200 to a non-tank, must be kited due to Horde Lullaby threat. Once Suparna Fledgling dies, focus efforts on Suparna.
- Alternatively, you may have everyone stand at the opposite end of the island while one person spawns the NMs (preferably a job that has Utsusemi, Stoneskin, or Flee). That person will have to run them to the zone-line, while the main tank provokes the Suparna at the cave-mouth and runs it to party. Only one NM has to be defeated to complete the mission. (You can still check the ??? for the scene if you zoned.)
- If you only pull Suparna, make sure the Fledgling despawns before you kill the Suparna or you won't be able to get the key item (it might allow you to still get the key item).
- Seems that order of killing the Rocs are not really important, if you are able to kill both within a reasonable time frame and two alliances to killl mobs faster.
- The Suparna Fledgling will hang out for a while at the cave mouth before it starts walking back, which will cut off the puller for a little bit. If you are soloing or only have a couple folks, it may be safer to pop them, zone, and then pull one once all party members are back and ready. Like most of the mission NM pairs, they don't seem to link.
- Once both birds are defeated, everyone will need to inspect the ???.
- A cutscene will occur and you will receive your final key item, a Figure of Leviathan.
- Report back to the King to end the mission.
