== Walkthrough ==
*Talk to [[:Carbuncle_(NPC)|Carbuncle]] and receive the {{KeyItem}}[[Rainbow Resonator]].
*'''You do not have to throw away [[Carbuncle's Pole]] to receive the KI if you are repeating.'''
You DO have to drop it to turn in the quest after completing the BC in Full Moon Fountain.
====Elemental Avatar Battles====
*Defeat the six Prime [[:Category:Avatars|Celestial Avatars]].
*Like in the "Trial by" family of quests, the Prime avatars have access to the level 75 meritable [[Blood Pact: Rage]]s.
**These attacks ignore [[Utsusemi]] and do ~1000 damage unresisted, be sure to keep Barspells and [[Carol]] on at all times.
::[[Ifrit Prime]]: [[Meteor Strike]]
::[[Shiva Prime]]: [[Heavenly Strike]]
::[[Garuda Prime]]: [[Wind Blade]]
::[[Titan Prime]]: [[Geocrush]]
::[[Ramuh Prime]]: [[Thunderstorm (Blood Pact)|Thunderstorm]]
::[[Leviathan Prime]]: [[Grand Fall]]
*The Avatars can use their [[Astral Flow]] attack at anytime, and is independent of the Avatar's HP.
*You can either tank the Avatar with [[Ninja]]s, or if you have enough [[Summoner]]s, they can kill the avatar by themselves with physical [[Blood Pact]]s.
*Elemental Magic nukes of the Avatar's weak element do decent damage, but are better used on the elemental pets.

*Each Avatar is supported by four elementals that share hate with the avatar.
** A significant amount of damage must be inflicted on the elementals to pull them off of the avatar's target.
**As well as attacking the players, the elementals cure the avatar with tier IV elemental nukes.
**Elementals do not respawn when killed, but rather one is created when the avatar uses their level 75 meritable [[Blood Pact: Rage]]s. A maximum number of four elementals will be out at any given time.
**The elementals' melee attacks have an added effect of the appropriate debuff of that element.
**The elementals are weak to melee attacks.
**A good number of [[Black Mage]]s are important for killing the elementals. 5 -ga III spells of the opposing element will take out all of the elementals.

*You only need to defeat the avatar in order to win.
*Each BCNM will drop a few elemental clusters of the appropriate element after the win and each person will receive the following [[Key Item|key items]]:
:{{KeyItem}}[[Eye of Flames]] ([[Cloister of Flames]])
:{{KeyItem}}[[Eye of Tremors]] ([[Cloister of Tremors]])
:{{KeyItem}}[[Eye of Tides]] ([[Cloister of Tides]])
:{{KeyItem}}[[Eye of Gales]] ([[Cloister of Gales]])
:{{KeyItem}}[[Eye of Frost]] ([[Cloister of Frost]])
:{{KeyItem}}[[Eye of Storms]] ([[Cloister of Storms]])

===Final Battle===

*Once you have all 6 key items, proceed to [[Full Moon Fountain]] for the final battlefield and a cut scene.
**Battle name: "Waking the Beast". Player limit: 18. Time limit: 30 minutes.
***Buffs will '''NOT''' wear upon entry.
*Once you defeat this final battlefield, random Avatar weapons may drop, and you will also receive a {{KeyItem}}[[Faded Ruby]].

*The sequence for the battle is as such:
**Carbuncle Prime will appear and will stay until he reaches 75% HP, at which point he'll disappear.
**In its place a random avatar prime will appear. When it's dead, [[Carbuncle Prime]] will appear.
**Deplete Carbuncle Prime's HP to 50%, and he'll disappear.
**In its place will appear two random avatar primes that have not appeared before. When they're dead, [[Carbuncle Prime]] will reappear.
**Deplete Carbuncle Prime's HP to 25%, and he'll disappear.
**In its place will appear three celestial avatar primes that have not appeared previously. Defeat them and [[Carbuncle Prime]] will reappear.
**This time there will be five [[Carbuncle Prime]]s with 25% HP. The Carbuncles will astral flow upon the first prime defeat or their astral flow timer is up (about 1 minute). Defeat all five Carbuncles to win the battle.

* After the battle choose either yes ("Disturber of Slumber" title) or no ("Interrupter of Dreams" title), if you want to give the energy back to the fountain or not.
*Return the {{KeyItem}}[[Faded Ruby]] to [[Carbuncle]] in [[La Theine Plateau]] to finish the quest and receive [[Carbuncle's Pole]].
*You may restart the quest after the weekly Conquest Tally Results.
*If you fail, you will lose your KI if you homepoint. To retain your KI, you must wait to get kicked out (either the 3 min KO timer or the 30 minute battlefield timer).

===Additional Rewards from Final Battle===
Drops occur as the following:

* It was previously believed that a piece of equipment would drop per party in the alliance, but this was later proven invalid.
'''*Yinyang Robe is its own pool with a 50% drop.'''
