Windurst

• Talk to any Windurst Gate Guard to accept the mission.

• Head to the Manustery (Windurst Woods, (H-9)) and speak with Apururu.
• She will give you six Dark Mana Orbs and instruct you to energize them within the Outer Horutoto Ruins.

East Sarutabaruta

• Warning: Some monsters in this area will aggro up to around level 10.
• Travel to the Marguerite Tower (#4) at East Sarutabaruta (J-11).
• Before entering, talk to Pore-Ohre, who will give you the Southeastern Star Charm.

Outer Horutoto Ruins

Inside, you must charge all six Dark Mana Orbs by examining the 6 Ancient Magical Gizmos found throughout the ruins. Each time you examine a Gizmo, you’ll see a cutscene as the orb becomes energized. There are six Gizmos in total: Four located at the corners of the large central chamber. Two more hidden behind secret doors along the north and south walls — examine each door to open it. After charging all six orbs, head east and look for a crack in the wall. Inside, examine the Gate: Magical Gizmo to trigger another cutscene. There is a Balloon in this room that may aggro lower-level party members. If you receive the message “The door is firmly shut.”, return and speak with Pore-Ohre again before proceeding. After the cutscene, you’ll receive the message: “The six Mana Orbs have been successfully energized with magic!” Re-examine each Ancient Magical Gizmo to recollect your orbs, which are now Glowing Mana Orbs. Optional: Exit the ruins back into East Sarutabaruta for an additional cutscene featuring the Ace Cardians. If you left via warp, escape etc. without seeing the cutscene but still want to see it, re-enter and recollect the orbs before reporting back.

Within the main room, you’ll encounter Goblins (sight) and Bats (sound) that aggro; Battue Bats do not. Behind each cracked wall, two Balloons (sight) will also aggro. Those around level 21 or higher will avoid aggro from all enemies. Alternatively, you may use oils and powders, though this may be costly for new adventurers. Completing this mission with a party is the safest approach for those who are lower-level.

Windurst

• Return to the Manustery and speak with Apururu to deliver the Glowing Mana Orbs and complete the mission.
