Walkthrough
Note: The information here is from when there was a Level Restriction at 50. Any job at 75, and even considerably lower, can solo this mission with variable difficulty/speed (see testimonials). As with other Promyvion areas, there are aggressive monsters around level 80, but they are easily identified from their names and can be avoided as long as players pay attention to them.
Promyvion-Vahzl (Climb)
- Promyvion - Vahzl is five levels instead of four, and the monsters are stronger to match. Like the other Promyvions, it's only tough if you or your party is aggroing everything in sight. Be patient, wait until openings occur. It can be done.
- On levels three, four, and five, you will have to search for Memory Flux gates before proceeding to the Memory Receptacles. Each will spawn one Notorious Monsters and these are mandatory fights that are required to proceed with the mission. If you do not defeat all the three Memory Flux NMs and get the cutscenes at those areas, you will not be able to cross to the Web of Recollections within the Spire of Vahzl.
- Third floor: Propagator (Gorger type) will spawn multiple Offspring, be prepared to deal with these adds.
- Fourth floor: Solicitor (Craver type) has a dangerous single-target attack and an AoE Poison attack that deals damage and gives a strong poison effect. Strongly suggest all melees have 3+ antidotes and macro them for quick access. Also, have someone stick Gravity on the NM so you can Cure-Bomb without worrying about any threats to the healer.
- Fifth floor: Ponderer (Thinker type with AOE Sleep so bring poison pots). The Ponderer can also absorb food and spell effects, so make sure your tank doesn't eat defense food when you're getting close to Ponderer. If it absorbs a Tavnazian Taco and Protect it is almost impossible to hurt with melee attacks.
- After you defeat each NM, check the Memory Flux a second time for a cutscene. Then heal up and search for the next Memory Receptacle.
- On the fifth floor, you do not need to search for the Memory Receptacle. Proceed directly from the Memory Flux to the Web of Recollections within the Spire of Vahzl.
- When you receive the cutscene at the Memory Flux, you gain the ability to warp directly to that Memory Flux from the gate in Pso'Xja. This allows you to bypass the lower floors in case you need to leave or are helping someone else with the mission later on.
- The NM at each Memory Flux will respawn if a player leaves Promyvion - Vahzl and returns, then clicks the Memory Flux again (while the mission is still active). This is not necessary and your party can wipe easily this way, because the NM will aggro any player who teleports inside. In the rare event that this does happen, the NM will despawn if left unclaimed for 3 minutes.
Web of Recollections (Fight)
- Buffs will wear upon entry.
- Enter the Web of Recollections and be prepared to face three bosses.
- You can choose which boss to fight first. One of them will join the fight when the one being fought has about 20% of HP left.
- The only other way to get them to attack is to attack them first.
- If you attack Cumulator first, Procreator attacks next, Agonizer after that.
- If you attack Agonizer first, Cumulator attacks next, Procreator after that.
- If you attack Procreator first, Agonizer attacks next, Cumulator after that.
- It is simplest to remember that they will engage in alphabetical order.
- As with all Empty, their elements will be random. It is shown as a flame burning somewhere inside their bodies, colored to match their element.
- The battle has a time limit of 30 minutes.
- You will receive 1500 experience for winning the fight.
Finishing Up
- When the Spire battle is cleared, you will be warped outside of the Nue Tower in Beaucedine Glacier.
- Optional: Talk to the three Tarutaru in Beaucedine Glacier in the tower at (I-7). There will not be a cutscene from the three Tarutarus, nor will the mission log change. This is only 6 lines of dialogue.
- In order to complete the mission, talk to Cid in Bastok Metalworks for a cutscene. (NOTE: This will also start the next Mission)
