Walkthrough

  • Quest Conflict: If you have the quest A Timely Visit active, you may be unable to attain the proper messages and cutscenes in La Theine Plateau from certain NPCs. You may have to complete this quest before taking on this mission.
  • Precaution: If you are of a low level, you may want to bring a few Silent Oils to prevent aggro from monsters. You can also have someone to help you defeat them while performing the mission.
  • Talk to a San d'Orian Gate Guard to accept the mission.
    • You may have to trade 9 crystals to increase your rank points enough to enable this mission.
  • Head to La Theine Plateau and walk down the road until you encounter Galaihaurat at (E-6). Speak to him to start the rescue drill exercise.
  • Head to (F-6) and talk to Equesobillot located at the eastern side of the canyon.
  • Walk down the embankment and talk to Deaufrain. Continue to walk down to the lower level of the canyon.
  • Talk to Vicorpasse, then Laurisse, and finally Narvecaint near the zone to Ordelle's Caves. After speaking with all three, enter Ordelle's Caves.
  • Upon entering, follow the left wall until you locate Ruillont hiding in a small pond next to a wall at (G-3). Speak to him to learn about his situation.
  • Backtrack into La Theine Plateau. Speak to the Elvaan soldiers from the mouth of Ordelle's Caves to Galaihaurat at (E-6), until one gives you a Bronze Sword. It is completely random for each person as to which soldier will give you Ruillont's sword. This also include Galaihaurat just west of the ramp at (E-6).
  • Return to Ruillont and trade him his Bronze Sword.
    • Trading him a different Bronze Sword will not progress you through the mission. You must use the sword given by one of the soldiers.
  • Return to Vicorpasse to receive the Key Item: Rescue Training Certificate.
  • Return to San d'Oria and speak to a San d'Orian Gate Guard to complete the mission.

Script

The Rescue Drill - Gatehouse, San d'Oria
San d'Orian Gate Guard: There's not much work in right now. I suppose you could go participate in the Temple Knight's rescue drills out in the La Theine Plateau.

("Tell me more.")

San d'Orian Gate Guard: Enter the forest beyond the Westgate and head southwest. You'll come out onto the La Theine Plateau before long.

San d'Orian Gate Guard: Once you're out on the plateau, keep going until you see the knights. The training grounds aren't far from there.

San d'Orian Gate Guard: That is all. You'll take the mission then?

("I accept.")

San d'Orian Gate Guard: It's all just a drill, so this should be easy compared to your usual fare. Just follow orders and you'll be fine.

The Rescue Drill - La Theine Plateau
(You wander around La Theine Plateau speaking to the various Temple Knights.)

Galaihaurat: Are you in the rescue drill?

Galaihaurat: Head to the other side of that valley over there. One of my compatriots will assist you.

Equesobillot: Head down here if you wish to take part in the rescue drill.

Deaufrain: They're conducting drills up ahead... At least, I think they are.

Vicorpasse: Greetings, I'm Vicorpasse, squad captain in the Temple Knights.

Vicorpasse: We are supposed to be conducting rescue drills, but one of our "injured" soldiers has gone missing. Your assistance is finding him would be appreciated.

Vicorpasse: The missing soldier is a new recruit by the name of Ruillont. I just hope nothing's happened to him...

Augevinne: One of the "injured" soldiers has gone missing! Well, don't just stand there! Help us search!

Yaucevouchat: Well? Find anything?

Tayula: No, nothing, sir!

Laurisse: Well? Any sign of him?

Narvecaint: Hey!

Narvecaint: Hey! Come take a look at this! Quickly!

Narvecaint: Look, a cave! Maybe he went in there!

The Rescue Drill - Ordelle's Caves
(You enter Ordelle's Caves to find Ruillont hiding behind a cave formation.)

Ruillont: An adventurer, are you? I am Ruillont of the Temple Knights. I came here without my sword, and now fiends have surrounded me.

Ruillont: As the "wounded knight" for our training, I was to lie near the entrance. But a swarm of fiends happened upon me, and I was forced to flee into this cave.

Ruillont: Since I had left my sword with a companion, I had to find a place to hide...and now I'm stuck here.

Ruillont: What? You've come to rescue me?

Ruillont: I must refuse!

Ruillont: Imagine, a knight rescued by some passerby! Why, my family would be mocked for generations to come!

Ruillont: Confound it! If I only had my sword, I'd cut through these fiends single-handedly...

The Rescue Drill - La Theine Plateau
(You head back outside the cave to find which Temple Knight has Ruillont's sword.)

Temple Knight: Ruillont's sword? Yes, I was keeping it for him during training.

Temple Knight: What, Ruillont's stuck in a cave? How typical of him to refuse your help...

Temple Knight: Yes, I believe you; I'm sure it's him. Take this to him in there, would you? We'll keep it between you and me.

The Rescue Drill - Ordelle's Caves
(Upon trading Ruillont's sword to him.)

Ruillont: My sword! You've brought me my sword!

Ruillont: This is just what I needed. I thank you, adventurer.

Ruillont: I'll be fine from here on out. Please let my captain know...

Ruillont: I'm going to stay here and observe the caves for a while. Watch out for those fiends, eh!

The Rescue Drill - La Theine Plateau
Vicorpasse: What? Ruillont's in that cave? And he doesn't want us to send help, eh? That's my boy! He's an elite in the making, that one!

Vicorpasse: Well, the rescue training was a wash, but you helped us find our lost soldier. I think you've earned this Rescue Training Certificate.

Vicorpasse: No, really. These drills are naught compared to venturing into one of those caves. Hand that certificate to the knight at the gatehouse, and you'll be done.

The Rescue Drill - Gatehouse, San d'Oria
San d'Orian Gate Guard: You've returned! I hear the drill turned into something far more perilous. But real battle is the best drill for recruits, in my opinion.

San d'Orian Gate Guard: Regardless, you've done well. I'll turn to you when there's work to be done, now.
