Walkthrough

  • Zone into Gustav Tunnel from Cape Teriggan or Valkurm Dunes and find the Outcropping at (F-10). It is near the Cape Teriggan zone.
  • Check the Outcropping once for a CS.
    • If you're in a party and forget to click the Outcropping before the fight you will get the message "Now is not the time for that!" You must then leave Gustav Tunnel and reenter to get the initial CS.
  • Checking the outcropping a second time will give the option to start the next mission: Enemy of the Empire (II) a fight vs. 3 Tenshodo members.
    • The Black Book is taken when the battle begins. You must redo the Black Book quest if you lose the battle, else you will not get credit

Strategies

  • Buffs will not wear when you enter the fight.
  • If soloing; recommend getting FOV buffs from the Field Manual at the Cape Terrigan Zone.
  • NPC buddies, and PUP automatons despawn when the fight begins.
  • EXP is not lost if you're defeated.


  • Three Tenshodo NPCs spawn and spam Utsusemi: Ni for a couple of seconds and then each will produce 4 clones of themself.
    • Clones are quite weak, AoE damage will work well.
    • Clones seem to resist all sleep spells
    • Ninjutsu magic is spammed causing really bad spell lock when changing targets.
    • TP is not reset on entry of the Confrontation, building before entry is highly recommended.
    • Eventually the NPCs will become targetable, and they must be defeated to win the battle.
    • Easiest way to tell which one is real is they take less damage and maintain their HP while all the clones respawn with 100% HP
  • In order to make the NPCs targetable, you must defeat one of each type of clone (Taru, Galka, Hume).
    • Even after becoming targetable, the Ninjas will still continue to spawn clones of themselves. Pay attention to which enemy is using Utsusemi to know which is the enemy that needs to be defeated.
  • After defeating the real versions, any clones still out will shortly depop.
  • Cactuar Key is given as a reward for winning the battle.
  • After receiving the Cactuar Key, do not leave, check the Outcropping again for the next CS - there have been some issues with players experiencing the cut-scene stalling mid-way; seems to only affect Windower users. I suggest starting up POL without Windower enabled. I was then able to finish the cut-scene.
    • If you do get hung up in the CS you can force DC and come back using standard POL and re-do the CS.

Game Description

Mission Orders

The overzealous young Tenshodo agents are not interested in listening to reason. In the name of your empress, you have no choice but to flex your adventurer muscles and pound some sense into them.
