Walkthrough

NOTE: You cannot begin this quest if you already have another quest involving the Key ItemWeapon Training Guide active.

  • Talk to Cid in Metalworks to receive the Gun of Trials and a Key ItemWeapon Training Guide.
  • Use the Gun of Trials until the latent effect disappears.
    • The Weapon Skills must be performed by this particular gun; using a melee Weapon Skill with this gun merely equipped does not count.
    • Weapon Skills performed while under Level Sync count.
    • You receive 1 point for opening/soloing a weapon skill, 2 points for closing a Lv.1 Skillchain, 3 points for closing a Lv.2 Skillchain and 5 points for closing a level 3 skillchain.
    • No message is given when the latent effect is lost. To check if the latent effect has disappeared, simply check if you have the bonus stats; if not, you are done. It is not necessary to unequip the gun for the latent effect to disappear; the stats disappear immediately upon acquiring the 300th WS point.
      • Note your Elemental Resistance bonuses from the weapon: they will be gone if the latent is broken.
  • Once you no longer receive the latent effect bonus, head back to Metalworks and trade the Gun of Trials to Cid, who takes the weapon from you and gives you a Key Item Map to the Annals of Truth and instructions to head to the Boyahda Tree.
  • Once in the Boyahda Tree, go to Map 3 (J-8) and click the ??? to spawn the NM named Beet Leafhopper.
  • Once the NM is dead, reexamine the ??? to obtain the Key ItemAnnals of Truth.
  • Return to Cid for your reward.
