Prep Tips!

The first thing to note is that you can unlock all the paths simultaneously. So prior to accepting or seeking a party to do a fork, ensure that you have all the cutscenes caught up. Really the moment you have access to mission 5-3 you should unlock all the paths by finishing the appropriate cutscenes for each. No one likes to wait for people to get caught up on their cutscenes.
Don't try to do all 3 forks at once. Your life, and the lives of the people with you will be made much easier if you have your 2-hour-skills available for each BCNM fight.
2 of the 3 forks have unique items you can get to greatly help you chances of success in the BCNM's. Some of these items take time to get, so you should really determine what they are, and how to get them, long before you attempt to do one of the forks, or accept a party for one of the forks.
- In particular the Shu'Meyo Salt can be troublesome if there are no Cluster Core(2) available at the Auction House. Without a party of 6 Shu'Meyo Salt most party setups will fail entirely at the Snoll Tzar fight, it is basically a required item. Secondly the Blackened Siredon can be useful versus the Mithran Trackers as their TP regain is huge, and the damage reduction you will save by being able to Blackened Siredon to prevent spammed Weaponskills on all 3 of them will greatly enhance your chances for success.

Note: This is a long mission with two dungeons, an uncapped NM, and three BC fights.

It doesn't matter what path you choose when you talk to Cid; you don't have to start that fork first.
You can be working on more than one section at a time.

Fork 1	Fork 2	Fork 3
Tenzen Path	Ulmia Path	Louverance Path

Mission Orders: To break the Wyrmking's pact, you must locate the Keeper of the Apocalypse as quickly as possible. To do that you must first learn more of Al'Taieu, as well as find Prishe and the mysterious boy.
