The Temple of Uggalepih	Through the Quicksand Caves

Walkthrough

After completing The Temple of Uggalepih, Grav'iton tells you that you need to collect eight different fragments from across Vana'diel.
To obtain one, examine a headstone and choose to remove the fragment.
- Only one fight is required per party/alliance requiring the key item.
- It is a good idea to check your list of Temporary Key Items to ensure you have obtained the fragment.
Upon obtaining your final fragment, the mission is complete and you will receive the message, "You now have all 8 fragments of light!"

This one involves navigating through Ifrit's Cauldron, refer to the map on the right.
- Essentially, once you enter Ifrit's Cauldron and arrive to (H-8), follow the left wall for the rest of the way until you exit to the jungle.
- Everyone will need a form of Sneak and Invisible. Non-magical being the most safe due to the Bombs which detect the use of magic in addition to sight.
- Magic can be especially dangerous due to the fact that at some point, Flame Spouts will be blocking the way and they always have at least one Bomb nearby.
  - These spouts will go down for a while occasionally, but they can be immediately settled by trading an Ice Cluster to them.

Now that you're in Yuhtunga Jungle again, go to (K-7), through one of the tunnels under the waterfall. Follow the left wall and take the second tunnel.
- The headstone is located exactly at the North Western edge of (L-7).
Two Opo-Opos will spawn here: Carthi and Tipha.
- Both will attack the character examining the stone.
- It is possible to only fight Tipha, by using Sneak and Deodorize before examining the stone. However, it is essential to wait for the 3 minutes for Carthi to de-spawn before slaying Tipha, or else, Carthi must be slain as well. If Carthi de-spawns after Tipha was killed, re-spawning them may be required.
- Both are immune to Sleep and Lullaby.
- Gravity and Bind work, but it is worth noting that they easily lose interest if ventured too far from and if not aggravated soon enough, will regenerate HP quickly like any unclaimed monster not engaged on a player character.

The Flagellant's Rope can be obtained by trading a Rain Lily to this headstone.

Travel to (F-7) of Cape Teriggan to find an uncharted tunnel.

- Enter the tunnel at (G-5) of Qufim Island and follow it to the west.
Once in Behemoth's Dominion, proceed to (G-9).
Two Weapons will appear: Legendary Weapon and Ancient Weapon.
- If the character who examines the headstone has the effect of Sneak applied, they will not attack immediately. Thus it is possible to complete the objective by only defeating one of them, provided the other has de-spawned before the other is slain.
- If the other de-spawns after one of them is defeated, it may be necessary to re-spawn them.
- Note that they will attack anyone within hearing range, and detect the use of magic from particularly far distance.

Characters that have completed the Zilart Mission 7 - The Chamber of Oracles, can obtain a Bat Earring from this headstone.
Travel to The Sanctuary of Zi'Tah and head to (J-9).
Follow the uncharted path leading towards north, to (I-7) to find the headstone.
The Doomed named Doomed Pilgrims will spawn here when the stone is examined. It is generally regarded as the most difficult of the headstone fights, it hits hard and fast, so be careful. High evasion works well against it.
