Walkthrough

• Talk to Gentle Tiger at (H-6).
  • You will need to zone and wait one game day from completing the previous quest.
• Talk to Pagdako at (H-9).
• Talk to Blatherix at (F-8).
  • He asks you to bring him 30 chunks of Goblin Chocolate or 5000 gil to talk.
  • He will give you a Mine Shaft Key (Key item).
• Zone into Pashhow Marshlands (S) from Grauberg (S) and you will get a cutscene.
  • As of the September update, you are now able to ride chocobos in the past. Dismounting your chocobo is not required to receive this cutscene.
• Check the Corroded Door at (F-5) in Pashhow Marshlands (S) and select the Light in the Darkness objective.
• You will be warped into the Ruhotz Silvermines. See below.
• Once you have beaten the Quadav in Ruhotz Silvermines, talk to Gentle Tiger (S) for the final cutscene.
  • You will be required to answer three questions. The answers are:
    • The ventilation shaft...
    • The senator did not light the lantern...
    • The senator was distracted...
  • Choosing an incorrect option appears to decrease the number of choices you have in the list.

Battlefield Ruhotz Silvermines:

• Extremely difficult if going alone, but many have been able to solo with 75 jobs. Please see talk page for soloing strategies and to add your own.
• Kill any 7 Quadav to complete the objective.
• If you can't complete the objective, you will need a new key, and Blatherix will ask for 10 chunks of Goblin Chocolate or 1000 gil to give you one.
• Everyone who is entering the BC should have the key as well, or it will not let you enter.
  • A character that has already completed the quest can enter again with a key holder.
  • Repeating characters do not need to get another key; the NPC won't give you one anyway.
  • If your party members do not meet the requirements, you will not be transported inside.
• After a cutscene, you will find 9 Sapphirine Quadav and 1 Sapphire Quadav. You have 30 minutes to complete the objective. They are all True Sound aggro.
• You will start right in the center of the Quadav, so it is advised to buff up outside the battle.
• The Quadav are in three groups: two groups of three Sapphirine Quadav, and a group of three Sapphirine Quadav with the Sapphire Quadav.
• The Sapphire Quadav has about 2000 HP and can use Benediction.
• The Quadav are somewhat resistant to Sleep.
  • A BLM75/WHM37 with 273 Enfeebling Magic was able to land Sleepga II with ease every time.
• All Quadav are highly resistant or Immune to Gravity and Bind.
• Killing the Sapphire Quadav will cause the Sapphirine Quadav to scatter, making it easier to pick off them off one by one. [Note: They will still aggro after scattering, but only after they stop "fleeing" once their leader is defeated.]
• The Quadav have fairly low HP and Defense.
  • It is possible to win the battle without killing all of the minions of the Sapphire Quadav. It is even possible to win the battle without killing the Sapphire Quadav; just kill seven of the Sapphirine Quadav.
• You will lose experience points upon death in this battlefield, so it is advised to cast Reraise spells or bring reraise items with you upon entry.
• Reraise effects will wear off when kicked out of the zone.
