Notes
Chests	The mobs on each floor are divided into two groups (see detailed information for each floor below). Killing all mobs in the 'chest group' will spawn all three chests: You can only open one chest per floor. The chests spawn in random places. There is no set spot for either chest, and all of them can load in any of the three positions. The time chest (blue) gives an additional 15 minutes The restore chest (brown with silver trim) refillst HP/MP and resets all cooldowns (including 2 hrs). The item chest (brown with gold trim) yields 5-7 Ancient Beastcoins and 0-2 Artifact Armor +1 Materials.
Portal	The portal to the next floor opens once when one of the mobs in the 'gate group' is killed.
Others	Mobs in this area can use the 2hr abilities of their jobs.

Walkthrough

First Floor

• Enemies: (Moblins)
  • Moblin Dustman x4 (RDM) (moving)
    • Gate Group: Kill one to open the portal.
  • Goblin Slaughterman x2 (WAR) (stationary)
    • Chest Group: Kill all to spawn the chests.
  • About 3/6 drop an Ancient Beastcoin
• With good timing, it is possible to run past the patrolling RDMs undetected.
• The chests can spawn at either of the Goblin Slaughterman locations.

Second Floor

• Enemies: (all Gigas)
  • Kari (MNK) (wandering around the outside, can be pulled without linking)
    • Gate Group: Kill to open the portal.
  • Beli (RNG), Thrym (WAR), Skadi (BST)
    • Chest Group: Kill all to spawn the chests.
    • Skadi may use Charm, which lasts 3 minutes.
    • Beli, Thrym, and Skadi automatically together.
    • They are susceptible to Sleep.
  • Unlike normal Gigas, they also detect by sound.
  • About 3/4 drop an Ancient Beastcoin.
• The chests appear in the middle of the north room.

Third Floor

• Enemies: (all Sahagin)
  • Telchines Monk x2 (wandering back and forth in the two rooms)
    Telchines Dragoon (with Telchines's Wyvern, wandering east-west)
    • Gate Group: Kill one to open the portal.
  • Telchines White Mage (NE)
    Telchines Bard (NW)
    • Chest Group: Kill all to spawn the chests.
  • About 2/5 drop an Ancient Beastcoin
• The chest location on the map may not be accurate - the location of each chest is random.

Fourth Floor

• Enemies: (all Demons)
  • Kindred Black Mage x4 (2 groups of 2 running along the north and south sides of the room)
    • Gate Group: Kill one to open the portal.
    • You can pull the BLMs without linking the DRK, WAR, and SMN.
• Kindred Summoner (with Kindred's Elemental), Kindred Warrior, Kindred Dark Knight
  • • Chest Group: Kill all to spawn the chests.
    • You can not pull from the back to prevent linking, so Sleepga all mobs and kill the SMN last.
    • The Kindred Summoner can summon a 2nd avatar for Astral Flow.
• About 4/7 drop an Ancient Beastcoin
• The chests appear in the middle of the room.

Fifth Floor

• Enemies: (Antica)
  • Praetorian Guard CCXX (WAR) (SE room)
    Praetorian Guard LXXIII (BLM) (NE room)
    Praetorian Guard CXLVIII (RNG) (NW room)
    Praetorian Guard CCCXI (PLD) (SW room)
    • Gate Group and Chest Group: Killing one opens the portal, killing all spawns the chests.
    • Bring Echo Drops for Jamming Wave (range 15).
• About 2/4 drop an Ancient Beastcoin
• The chests appear in the east-west door.

Sixth Floor

• Enemies: (Tonberries)
  • Cryptonberry Designator x3 (SMN) (with Tonberry's Elemental (Light)) (wandering)
    Cryptonberry Abductor x3 (THF) (wandering)
    • Gate Group: Kill one to open the portal.
    • The avatar summoned by the Cryptonberry Designators for Astral Flow is random. Stoneskin is your best bet, or not fighting the Cryptonberry Designators at all.
    • There are two sets of SMN and THF in linked pairs near the doorways. A single THF and a single SMN walk alone between rooms.
• Cryptonberry Charmer (BLM) (NW)
  Cryptonberry Skulker (NIN) (NE)
  • • Chest Group: Kill all BLM and NIN to spawn the chests.
    • The Cryptonberry Skulker uses Mijin Gakure (range 20').
• About 7/8 drop an Ancient Beastcoin
• The easiest way to complete this floor is to run down the first ramp when the SMN + THF pair moves away and kill the Cryptonberry Charmer (BLM). Then the lone Cryptonberry Abductor should be pulled and killed when it's close to the alliance. Afterwards, the alliance should move to the other side of the area when the Cryptonberry Designator moves away and kill the Cryptonberry Skulker. The last Tonberry pair can be slept while the alliance proceeds to the next floor.

Seventh Floor

• Enemies: (Goblins)
  • Goblin Theurgist x2 (BLM)
    Goblin Fencer x2 (RDM)
    Goblin Warlord (DRK)
• All drop 1-2 Ancient Beastcoins
• Cannot pull from the side without linking all the others.
• Can be pet pulled, though as always this can fail if the mob stops to cast before chasing you, giving the others time to link.
  • One way to avoid all casting on pulls is to pull a mob right after it casts a buff spell.
  • A way to avoid casting of an offensive spell on the pull is to run away after sending in your pet so that you are out of casting range when your pet is gone. This doesn't work as well with RDM, since RDM has more buff spells.
• The final chest appears in the middle of the room when all the goblins are defeated.
