Nation Mission 4-1

Notes

• Overview: This is a quite lengthy mission which requires you to visit the three beastman strongholds of Davoi, Beadeaux and Castle Oztroja and interact with the Magicites deep within. To be able to enter the area where the Magicite resides, you need to fulfill prerequisites particular to each beastman stronghold.
• If you have completed this mission in another nation, you will not have to complete the prerequisite quests again, which give you access to the Magicites in the beastman strongholds.
• The entire mission can be soloed at around level 50 with access to Sneak and Invisible.

Start

• Trade two stacks of crystals to any Conquest Overseer so that your Rank bar is about two thirds full.
  • You may do this in Jeuno or your home nation.
• Speak with the receptionist of your home nation's embassy.
  • San d'Oria - Nelcabrit in Ru'Lude Gardens (G-9)
  • Bastok - Goggehn in Ru'Lude Gardens (H-10)
  • Windurst - Pakh Jatalfih in Ru'Lude Gardens (I-9)
• After speaking with the receptionist, click the back door in your embassy to start the mission and for the Archducal Audience Permit if you don't have it already.
• Click on the door to the Audience Chamber up the stairs in Ru'Lude Gardens (H-6). You will receive the Letter to Aldo.

Access to the Tenshodo Headquarters to talk to Aldo requires you to complete the Quest Tenshodo Membership

• Head to Davoi (G-7). There will be two Orcs in the lv.40-50 range here - either kill them or sneak past them. Drop invisible and click on the Wall of Dark Arts. If you aggro the Orcs you can quickly run through the Wall to the zone a few feet ahead.

Path to the Altar Room Part 2 (hover for larger size)

Path to the Altar Room Part 3 (hover for larger size)

Path to the Altar Room Part 4 (hover for larger size)

• Note: The path through Castle Oztroja is rather long and requires passing monsters which aggro characters below level 60. Sneak/Silent Oils and Invisible/Prism Powders will help you get through.
• Make your way to Castle Oztroja. The entrance lies in the south of Meriphataud Mountains (L-8).
• Enter and head to the Brass Door at Castle Oztroja (I-8). You will see a lever at either side of the door. One lever will open the door and the other will open a trap in the floor and cause you to fall into a pit. There is a very easy way to open this door.
  • Stand between the two levers in front of the door.
  • Select one of the levers
  • Click the lever and immediately run back. If it is the trapped lever there is some lag between when the lever is clicked and when the trap door opens. If the door opens run through, if the trap opens wait for it to close and then use the other lever.
  • The game is very picky about where you stand to hit the lever. You may have to move around a bit until you don't see the "Target is out of Range" message.
• Process along the corridor to enter the second floor at Castle Oztroja, Map 3 (J-8). Head to Castle Oztroja, Map 3 (G-7), where you will enter the upper level of an open area at Castle Oztroja, Map 7 (I-9).

• At the door, light the torch (it will trigger a dialogue) and you will be taken through.
• Head South and take a right to another Brass Door. Click on the door to open it.
• The zone is just beyond this door in case you get aggro from dropping Invisible (Status Effect) at the torches, you can zone them.
• Once inside, a cutscene will play. There are no mobs in this area.
• Click on the Magicite to obtain Magicite: Orastone.
