==Walkthrough==
*Trade 37 [[crystal|Crystal's]] to unlock the mission, then speak with a Gate Guard to accept it.

*Visit [[Alois]] in the President's Office Conference Room in [[Metalworks]] ({{Location Tooltip|area=Metalworks|pos=J-8}}).

*Head to [[Rabao]] and speak to [[Dancing Wolf]] in ({{Location Tooltip|area=Rabao|pos=G-7}}) for a cutscene.

*Go to ({{Location Tooltip|area=Gustav Tunnel|map=Map 2|pos=G-6}}) on the second map in [[Gustav Tunnel]] and check the ??? located in the pond.
**This area is somewhat dangerous, as '''EVERYTHING''' aggros in the area. Have your party wait at ({{Location Tooltip|area=Gustav Tunnel|map=Map 2|pos=H-7}}), as it is safe there from aggro. Carefully [[Sneak]] pull the NM by checking the ??? and then sleeping the NM. Run back to camp. The NM will eventually make its way there.
**Post Rebase: Sneak pull does NOT work. The mob will begin attacking on pop.
*You will be fighting slime NMs which have high melee resistance. Casters will be very important, and sleeping the mobs will be imperative. You will start against one [[Gigaplasm]].
**Defeating the [[Gigaplasm]] will cause it to divide in two [[Macroplasm]]s. Each of those will divide into two [[Microplasm]]s, and those will divide into two [[Nanoplasm]]s. Try to keep as many mobs asleep as you can. Commence by killing one line of Macroplasms (defeat one, defeat its microplasms, and then its nanoplasms), and then the second. Sleep repeatedly. The HP of the mobs gets progressively lower, to the point where a decently equipped BLM should be able to one-shot a Nanoplasm with a single [[Thunder III]]. The key to this fight is keeping everything asleep.
**Avoid giving the mobs too much TP, as they can use the typical nasty slime TP attacks, like Fluid Spread.
**Defeat all of them and [[Sneak]] everyone to the ???. Check it to receive the [[Miraclesalt]].

*Return to [[Rabao]] and speak to [[Dancing Wolf]] for a cutscene.

*Head back to [[Alois]] to finish the mission.

==Notes==
*All Funguar can use [[Queasyshroom]] ([[Poison (Status Effect)|Poison]] effect), Shakeshroom ([[Disease]] effect), and Numbshroom ([[Paralyze (Status Effect)|Paralyze]] effect) provided they have the proper shroom in the cap on their head. They do not need to build TP to use these.
*May cause a dust cloud effect when they recharge the shrooms on their head. Will not happen all the time.
*Each Funguar have their own special attack that they use.
**[[Toadcushion]] will use Dark Spore: Cone [[Blind (Status Effect)|Blind]] and damage.
**[[Toadsquab]] will use Spore: Single target [[Paralyze (Status Effect)|Paralyze]].
**[[Toadpillow]] will use Frog Kick: Single target damage.
**[[Toadbolster]] will use Silence Gas: Cone [[Silence (Status Effect)|Silence]] and damage.
***Dark Spore and Silence Gas are breath attacks and can cause extreme damage if their users are still at high levels of HP.
*[[White Mage]] or a White Mage [[Support Job]] for at least 2 jobs is recommended due to all the status effects.
*Immune to [[Sleep]], including from [[Lullaby]] and [[Sheep Song]]. Can be [[Bind|bound]] and [[Gravity|weighed down]].
*[[Echo Drops]] are highly recommended.

==Strategy==
4-5 BST using Whirl Claw is just about all you need.

Post Rebase Note:
This BCNM is a lot harder. Used to just go in with 4 bsts and whirl claws like it says above but just completed this using BSTx3 SMNx2 WHMx1. Took two jugs per fight + Reward (summon 1 outside and wait for cd) and it still was dangerous.
Put 1 BST on each of 3 (bst meleeing too). Two SMNs on the one that spams frog kick. Help the next person when yours is dead. Helps to split them apart to avoid cone AoE. WHM was there to Regen / Paralyna / Poisona.

==Historical Background==
Aside from all the monsters being named after objects used for resting, the name Toadal Recall is doubtless an homage to the 1990's film "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_recall Total Recall]".
