Walkthrough

Maat asks you to collect three items. Trade them to him for your reward.

Bomb Coal drops from Explosures in Garlaige Citadel.
- Droprate seems to be around 25%-50%, depending on your Treasure Hunter.
Explosures can be found at Garlaige Citadel, Map 2 (I-8), which requires passing through the First Banishing Gate.

Exoray Mold drops from Exorays in Crawlers' Nest.
- Droprate seems to be around 25%-50%, depending on your Treasure Hunter.
- Exorays can be used for exp parties.
Exorays are located throughout the Donut Map, or at I-7 and G-9 of the North Map
Exorays have two dangerous, status effect inflicting attacks:
- a wind-based conal AOE attack called Silence Gas which inflicts silence. It is highly recommended to have someone with Silena in the group and that the tank faces the Exoray away from the mages at all times. To be safe, bring Echo Drops because mistakes happen.
- an ice-based radial AOE attack called Spore which inflicts paralysis. It is recommended that mages use White Mage as their subjob for Paralyna.

Ancient Papyrus drops from Lichs in The Eldieme Necropolis.
- Droprate seems to be around 25%-50%, depending on your Treasure Hunter.
There are three places where you can find Lichs:

Enter The Eldieme Necropolis through Batallia Downs (F-5).
- This entrance can only be reached by going through Beaucedine Glacier (H-11).
Enter The Eldieme Necropolis through Batallia Downs (I-10).
- You can find Lich on the first level as you travel around although spawns are sparse.
(Human Bones Room) Enter The Eldieme Necropolis through Batallia Downs (I-10).
- You will need 2 or more members of the party to control the plates that open doors.
- Head through the center doors, and go down hole marked A at The Eldieme Necropolis (G-8).
- Once you land, head east and you'll quickly reach the room with the Human Bones at The Eldieme Necropolis, Map 2 (M-10).
  - There are 2 to 4 Lichs available for pulling.
  - Warning: Elemental danger: If you don't want to aggro elementals, you may camp in the large staircase between the Ka room and Lich room, but you will have to pull the Fallen Knights or Carby/jug pull the Lichs under the effect of sneak.
