Walkthrough

• You start in (H-8).
• Search the boats and surrounding areas for a chest which contains the golden figurehead. All but one chest is a mimic. There 12 chests within the zone.
• From the start, there are three unconnected areas to search: to the NE and SW are areas with 3 chests each and no Pugils; the rest of the enemies are in the NW area.
• Find the golden figurehead and you will be informed that the mission is over and to proceed to the evacuation area at the crossroads in (H-7).
• At the evacuation area there will be another chest. Open it for your rewards.
• Use the evacuation teleport to warp back to the staging area and receive your Assault Points.

• A Summoner can find the right chest solo, with two other people along for the ride. Keep Carbuncle out at all times. If a chest turns out to be a mimic, Carby will begin attacking it while the SMN runs away. Once the SMN is far enough away (40' is safe) they can Release and resummon, then continue to the next chest. The old mimic will deaggro.
  • A player with Summoner subjob can do this trick too, though not as well; Garuda with Aerial Armor can buy you enough time to get away.
  • Occasionally the Mimic may get in a few lucky hits, killing Garuda too soon and causing the player to be drawn in. Because of this, it is recommended that any /SMN should be accompanied by the rest of the party to help kill the Mimic.

• A Manaburn party with RDM/DRK, BRD and BLMs can kill the mimics easily; the Cursed Chests go down very fast to Tier IV nukes, and the RDM can Stun Death Trap.
• The mimics have a limited aggro range. You can Reraise without aggro if you make sure you do not die directly on top of a mimic. As long as you're about 4' away, you can Reraise safely after the mimic turns back into a green text Chest. Since the mimic only draws in every couple seconds, you can make sure you die at a safe distance if you're careful to time your final run away from the mimic before you die.
