Walkthrough

• Talk to Rholont Southern San d'Oria (S) (E-7) for a cutscene.
  • You must wait one Vana'diel day after completion of Bonds That Never Die to receive the cutscene.
• Talk to Daigraffeaux Southern San d'Oria (S) (I-11) at the Chocobo-Stable for a cutscene. (This quest now appears in your list)
• Zone into Beaucedine Glacier (S) for a cutscene.

Fishing

• Examine the Colossal Footprint behind the tower at (I-7) for a cutscene.
  • You are asked to obtain the key items Lance Fish, Paladin Lobster, and a Scutum Crab.
• Go to (G-10) and examine the Rocky Perch for a Goliath Worm (stackable). This spot is one level below The Colossal Footprint.
  • Check the Rocky Perch multiple times for extra worms.
  • A worm is used for every attempt at fishing.
• Each type of fish can be caught at a different one of the three ponds in the area, or all three can be caught in the ocean with lower rate of success.
  • Locations:
    • Lance Fish (key item) found in pond in (H-9), south of Campaign Arbiter.
    • Paladin Lobster (key item) found at pond in (G-10), near Rocky Perch
    • Scutum Crab (key item) found at pond in (J-7) . (take care with the new NM Scylla since it has Draw In)
  • Fishing success depends on type of rod used. (See discussion)
    • Recommended to use Composite Fishing Rod for Paladin Lobster and Scutum Crab
    • Recommended to use Hume Fishing Rod for Lance Fish.
    • A Lu Shang's Fishing Rod or Halcyon Rod worked 1/1 on all three as well.
  • Check the Text which is occurring when something on the hook:
    • Something caught the hook! <--- You can now fish up a Key Item.
    • Something caught the hook!!! <--- You will fish up a Monster. (in this case just cancel fishing to avoid a fight)
• Return to the Colossal Footprint at (I-7) with the 3 fish for another custcene.
  • You are asked to obtain a Flint Stone.
• Proceed to the Charred Firewood at (I-7) and trade the Flint Stone to it.
  • The firewood is actually immediately north of the I-7 tower but above and on the same level as the Beaucedine Glacier (S) Campaign Arbiter. If you are at the firewood and facing south, you will see the I-7 tower immediately below you. Be forewarned- you will have to pass 2x true sight Dryptotaur to get to the firewood.
