== Walkthrough ==
*This quest appears to be currently bugged and inaccessible.
*Talk to [[Despachiaire]], who is upstairs behind the [[Walnut Door]] at {{Position|Tavnazian Safehold|K-10|Map 2}}, for a cutscene that starts the quest and to receive an {{KeyItem}}[[Antique Amulet]].
*Go to [[Southern San d'Oria]] and talk to [[Rouva]].
*Go to [[Jugner Forest]] and exit at {{Position|Jugner Forest|E-6}} into [[Carpenters' Landing]].
*Find the [[???]] at {{Position|Carpenters' Landing|F-9}} on a glowing mushroom spore and select to spawn the [[Funguar]] NM [[Para]].
**The [[???]] is roughly in the center of the square.
*Defeat [[Para]].
**When [[Para]] is at 10-50% of it's health, it will replicate itself when it uses a TP move if not defeated quickly. It is helpful to save MP or TP to do large damage once it reaches low HP.
**The first incarnation and all of its replications can easily be disposed of by most 70+ jobs.
**Although no more than three to four copies seem to be up at a given time (there may be a limit), there is no known limit to the total number of times it can replicate itself. A reasonable source of spike damage is necessary for this fight.
**The replications are exact copies with the same amount of Max HP and strength.
**The NM seems to be around the same strength as Funguars in the area but with substantially more HP.
**[[Para]] cannot be slept using [[Lullaby]].
*Once [[Para]] is defeated, select the [[???]] to obtain a {{KeyItem}}[[Cathedral Medallion]].
*Return to [[Southern San d'Oria]] and talk with [[Rouva]].
*Return to the [[Tavnazian Safehold]] and talk with [[Despachiaire]] to complete the quest.

| Fame Level = 8
| Type = General
| Items Needed = [[Cold Bone]]<br>[[Warm Egg]]
| Title = Seeker of Truth
| Description = [[Koru-Moru|Professor Koru-Moru]] is currently engrossed in an experiment to create "something" out of "nothing." To get closer to the truth of alchemy, he wants you to track down an old "Thesis on Alchemy" for him.
| Repeatable = No

}}

==Walkthrough==
*This quest appears to be currently bugged and inaccessible.
*If you have just completed the previous quest, [[Blast from the Past]], you will need to zone before this quest will be given to you. Also, if you have started another quest involving Koru-Moru (such as [[Carbuncle Debacle|Carbuncle's Debacle]]) and not completed it yet, he might not give you the following dialogue. In that case, complete the other quest first.
*Koru-Moru asks you to find someone practiced in the art of [[Alchemy]].
*Talk to [[Shantotto]] at {{Location|Windurst Walls|K-7}} who will tell you that she remembers that there was a student who was formerly in the school who had interests in alchemy. [[Yoran-Oran]], found in [[Yoran Oran's Manor|his manor]] at {{Location|Windurst Walls|E-5}} also gives additional dialogue.
*Head over to the [[Aurastery]] in {{Location|Windurst Waters|L-6|map=North}} and speak to [[Fuepepe]], who will tell you to search in the [[Acolyte Hostel]] for a record.
*Head north, past the [[Aurastery]], and note the door on the left side of the front of the building. Run between the two sides of the building, and go to each of the doors on the left. Answer the trivia questions correctly, and move to the next door. There are 3 doors, and 3 more to the right side of the building. After answering all the questions correctly (they will ask 2 or 3 other questions if you fail, then begin to loop back to the first), go back to the door on the left side of the front of the [[Acolyte Hostel]] to get {{KeyItem}}[[Thesis on Alchemy]].
*If you answer all 6 questions correctly you will receive a [[Vile Elixir]].
*If you already have a [[Vile Elixir]], and therefore cannot obtain this one, you also cannot receive the {{KeyItem}}[[Thesis on Alchemy]], and will have to in some way dispose of the [[Vile Elixir]] you have and then come back to get the cutscene again.

*Go back to [[Koru-Moru]], who will send you to get the "Lifeforce" and the "Power of Death".
*He is referring to a [[Warm Egg]] and a [[Cold Bone]].
**The [[Warm Egg]] is dropped by [[Anemone]] in [[Yhoator Jungle]].
**The [[Cold Bone]] is dropped by [[Doom Soldier]]s in [[Cape Teriggan]]. You need to kill goblins to get the skellies to spawn as they are the placeholders.
*Trade both to [[Koru-Moru]]. He will ask you to come back in a few days.
*Wait until after [[Japanese Midnight]] and return to [[Koru-Moru]] for your reward.
