Walkthrough

• Talk to Amaura at (G-6) Southern San d'Oria (present).
• Go to Jugner Forest (S) and kill Wandering Sapling (can be found at J-6 & F-8) for Cernunnos Bulb.
• Take the Cernunnos Bulb and trade it to Amaura in Southern San d'Oria (present).
• After the cutscene, take the Cernunnos Bulb to E-6 (Maiden's Spring) in Jugner Forest (S).
  • Note: Having Sneak and Invisible is not a bad idea, as the area is swarmed with Lobison, though it's probably an even better idea just to take a chocobo.
  • Note: Recall-Jugner and get a chocobo, do not go to Sandy and get one, otherwise you won't be able to get to E-6.
• Trade the Cernunnos Bulb at "Humus-rich Earth" target.
• Go to Present Jugner Forest at the same spot and examine the "Humus-rich Earth" for a cutscene.
• Examine it again to spawn a Treant NM: Cernunnos.
  • This monster hits hard, and has a lot of HP. It is also relatively difficult, if not impossible to silence.
  • Cernunnos can cast a variety of spells, including Break, Stonega III, Stone IV, Cure V, Stoneskin.
  • Cernunnos uses the typical TP moves from the Treant family, with stronger effects.
    • Leafstorm dispels all buffs and gives a Slow effect
    • Entangle, in addition to Bind, drains HP equal to the damage dealt.
    • The Slow effect is extremely intense. Under this effect, Utsusemi recast timers are nearly doubled.
    • This Slow can be removed by Refueling and Haste, although subsequent use of Leafstorm will dispel these and reapply Slow.
  • Cernunnos's spells can be stunned (Stun, Blue Magic and stunning weaponskills work).
  • Highly susceptible to Paralyze.
  • Blink tanking is recommended, preferably PLD/NIN
• Once Cernunnos is defeated, check the "Humus-rich Earth" again for a cutscene and Cernunnos Resin. (see testimonials)
  • Cernunnos can be fought once for everyone in the party/alliance.
  • Every party member needs to have planted the Cernunnos Bulb in the past, in order to get the cutscene and the key item.
  • If someone already spawned the NM, you can still get the cutscene you need during the fight, as long as you are in that party.
  • Warning: You can still pop the NM after you have gotten the key item, but have not done the next part yet, if you have zoned and then click it again.
• Go back to Southern San d'Oria to Amaura for cutscene.
• Wait a game day and talk to her again.
  • You may be required to zone if you are involved in another quest with Amaura.
  • There have been reported cases where people were not involved in another quest and needed to zone. Mog house did not count.
• After the game day, you will receive a key item: Bottle of Treant Tonic, and this starts the next mission.
