Walkthrough

Speak to Luto Mewrilah for a cutscene.
Head to Qu'Bia Arena in Fei'Yin for a solo Level 50 cap battlefield event with a 15 minute time limit.
Defeat the Kindred Vassago.
After the battle, return to Upper Jeuno and speak to Luto Mewrilah for a cutscene. You must have Signal Pearl on you.

Tested with Signal Pearl in Mog Satchel and still got the correct cutscene. Usually, Mog Satchel does not count for "must have it in your inventory" stuff.

Head to Lower Jeuno and click on the first door on the left inside the Neptune's Spire for the final cutscene.

Note: Blessed Radiance - After you have completed this quest your NPC will sometimes use Blessed Radiance when one or both of your HP gauges are in the red.

Strategy & Tips

The battlefield opponent is Vassago, a Kindred Dark Knight with a Scythe; he casts Drain, Aspir, Absorb, and other DRK spells, as well as Kindred TP attacks.
He also uses Blighted Gloom, a very strong Dark elemental attack, which ignores shadows.

If this is directed at you, you can easily run out of range to avoid damage; it takes 10 seconds from the time he says "Mirror of Blighted Gloom...I command thee" before he launches the Blighted Gloom attack. Run away when he uses it. He can still chase you down during the 10 second warning period and successfully hit you with Blighted Gloom, so try to stay as far away as possible and allow your NPC to take hate off you.
If Your NPC is targeted, however, Blighted Gloom will be countered with Blessed Radiance (so Stalwart Shield works very well). Your NPC will take no damage from Blighted Gloom.
If you still have hate, standing behind the NPC (as you would do for Cover or Trick Attack) will cause the ability to hit the NPC instead. (See Talk Page for discussion.)
Blessed Radiance from a LV50 (uncapped) Stalwart Shield fellow will only take Vassago down about 5-6% doing approximately 200 damage.

He is reportedly very susceptible to Paralyze. Silence and Slow will also stick.
His melee attacks are very strong, dealing around 150-200 damage.

However, his melee attacks will hit for 100 and less to a Stalwart Shield fellow, who easily tanks him and self heals without you doing anything for 80% of the fight.
If 150-200 damage sounds like a lot to you, it may be a good idea to use a Tavnazian Taco for your food effect. MNK/WAR fully buffed with tavnazian taco never took more than 100 damage from Vassago, and Blighted Gloom hit for 119 damage. Counterstance is NOT recommended (we're talking over 500 damage if Blighted Gloom lands).
Since he's using a scythe, his attack speed is fairly slow.

Doing this BC on Lightday is recommended but unnecessary.
If you or your Fellow is KO, you are ejected from the battlefield.
The NPC and Vassago will not do any action until you approach them, giving time to buff up.
You CAN'T use Sleeping Potions / Opo-Opo Necklace for TP gain (it will reset to 0%), nor can you use Reraise Hairpin (it will wear off).

-- You CAN use a reraise hairpin if you wait until after you have entered the battlefield to use it (completed fight 3/26/09).

You CAN still use your subjob in this fight.
If you die, you will lose exp.
