Talk to Vola at the Tenshodo HQ beneath Neptune's Spire in Lower Jeuno, then go through the Door: "Neptune's Spire" to get a cut-scene with Atori-Tutori who will request a Wyrm Beard.
Defeat the HNMs Fafnir or Nidhogg in Dragon's Aery until a Wyrm Beard is obtained.

This item is Rare/Ex. It is an uncommon drop from Fafnir, and a 100% drop from Nidhogg.
Alternatively this uncommon drop can be obtained from the KS99 BCNM Early Bird Catches the Wyrm.

Trade the Wyrm Beard to the Door: "Neptune's Spire".
Atori-Tutori will request a second item, but will not mention its name. He asks you to discover what it is.
Go to Bastok Markets and speak with Degenhard at (I-10). He will tell you that the item is a Behemoth Tongue.

This item is also Rare/Ex. It is an uncommon drop from Behemoth or a 100% drop from King Behemoth in Behemoth's Dominion. Both are HNMs.
Alternatively this uncommon drop can be obtained from the KS99 BCNM Horns of War.

Trade the Behemoth Tongue to the Door: "Neptune's Spire".
Atori-Tutori will request a third item. Again, he won't mention its name, and will ask you to find out.
Go to Ru'Lude Gardens and speak with Maat at (H-5). He will tell you that the item is an Adamantoise Egg.

This item is likewise Rare/Ex. It is a an uncommon drop from Adamantoise or a 100% drop from Aspidochelone in the Valley of Sorrows. Both are HNMs.
Alternatively this uncommon drop can be obtained from the KS99 BCNM The Hills Are Alive.

Finally, trade a Brown Belt to the door to complete the quest and receive your reward. (You do not receive the Brown Belt back).
