Walkthrough[]
- This mission cannot be skipped.
- An Instant Warp scroll or a Warp Ring with your Home Point set to Windurst will make for a quick return towards the end of the mission.
- Players under level 35 will need some kind of sneak/invisible.
- The mission will not be available until after you amass a certain number of Rank Points obtained by trading stacks of crystals of any type to any of the War Warlocks (character with the initials W.W. after their name) located at the city gates.
- Trading 1 crystal (not a stack, just 1) will unlock this mission.
- Trading 7 crystals will cap your rank points for Rank 2.
Windurst[]
- Accept the mission from any Windurst Gate Guard.
- (Windurst Waters) Talk to Tosuka-Porika in the Optistery at Windurst Waters, North (G-8) (Home Point #1)
- Tosuka-Porika will be in the east wing of the Optistery.
- Note: You may have to talk to Tosuka-Porika twice if you've started Past Reflections. No need to zone, just talk to him again.
- (Windurst Woods) Talk to Nanaa Mihgo at the very north of Windurst Woods (J-3) and obtain the Key Item: Lapis Monocle.
- You can run north to the Home Point on the way to the Windurst Waters exit to West Sarutabaruta and teleport to Home Point #1 in Windurst Woods, then run north to Nanaa Mihgo.
- Alternatively, go outside the Optistery and down the stairs to the east. Take the warp from Tonana (G-8) to Windurst Woods to the front of the Chocobo Stables and go north to see Nanaa Mihgo at (J-3).
- Head to Maze of Shakhrami.
- Traditional path: East Sarutabaruta (NE corner) -> Tahrongi Canyon (K-5) NE corner -> Maze of Shakhrami
- Other ways to get to Shakhrami:
- Survival Guide warping is the quickest way.
- Unity Warp to Tahrongi Canyon (Level 99 and below category) and hug the right wall north.
- Teleport-Mea (if you have the Mea gate crystal).
- Or, if you delivered Kolshushu/Buburimu outpost supplies, you can outpost warp and then run.
- If under level 35, you should have Invisible / Sneak available for the next part, such as Prism Powder / Silent Oil.
- It is possible to get by without invisible, but you definitely need sneak.
- An Instant Warp scroll or a Warp Ring with your Home Point set to Windurst will make for a quick return. You can also plan to suicide back to Home Point.
Maze of Shakhrami[]
- Go to (G-6) on the upper map and take the right tunnel.
- Tip: follow the North/left wall until you reach a fork. This is at (G-6), where you take the right.
- There are several aggressive mobs on the way,
- Sight: Goblins
- Sound: Maze Scorpions and Ghouls.
- Continuing on that path will bring you to the room (H-5) on the lower map. Examine a Fossil Rock until you get Lapis Coral.
- The active mobs here all detect on sound only. You'll need to cancel your Invisible to examine the Fossil Rock, but you can keep Sneak.
- There are four Fossil Rocks in this room.
- Left side(1), top(1), middle(2)
- Same map at (I-8) has (2). See map attachment for all locations. File:Fossil Rock Map.png
Windurst[]
- (Windurst Woods) Return to (J-3) Nanaa Mihgo for the Hideout Key.
- (East Sarutabaruta) Reach (J-7) the Lily Tower entrance of Horutoto Ruins.
- It's in the middle of the right side of the map
- There is a Survival Guide located here.
Horutoto Ruins[]
- Note: It is recommended that you do Making Headlines in conjunction with this mission.
- Go to (G-9), the lower-left corner of the big room shaped like a rectangular ring.
- Enter the room with an Ancient Magical Gizmo. Click and go through the Cracked Wall there to enter a new map in Beetle's Burrow at (K-9).
- There is no need for Sneak nor Invisible, as the beetles and bats here in the upper 80s do not aggro. If you see any goblins or skeletons near the end (they aggro even at 99), you will be able to avoid them by hugging the western (left) wall.
- Head to (G-8) (the tunnel extension there is not marked on your in-game map; see the Inner Horutoto Ruins map).
- Go west from (K-9), take the path north and follow the western wall.
- At (I-9), take the west tunnel at the 3-way intersection.
- Follow the tunnel NW at the next intersection.
- Follow the western wall and you'll make it to the Mahogany Door. There is a Grounds Tome here also.
- Click on the Mahogany Door at (G-8) for a cutscene.
Windurst[]
- (Windurst Walls) Go to (G-3) the very north to reach House of the Hero in (Home Point #1 is closest)
- Click on the front door for a cutscene
- (Windurst Waters North) Return to (G-8) Tosuka-Porika at the Optistery (near Home Point #1) to finish.
- As usual, the NPCs around the Windurst Gate Guards have additional dialogue.
- (Windurst Walls) Go to (G-3) the very north to reach House of the Hero in (Home Point #1 is closest)
