== Historical Background ==
In Japanese Buddhist belief, the Nio were two guardians of the Buddha. They are usually depicted as terrifying, muscular statues standing beside the entrance of Buddhist temples. One was named Agyo or Shukongoshin, who embodies manifest power or strength. He is depicted wielding a rod and is showing his teeth. The other was named Ungyo or Kongorikishi, who embodies latent power or strength. He is shown wielding a sword (or having no weapon) and has his mouth shut. Their scary appearance was meant to ward off evil spirits, thieves, and demons. Their role is security, to protect the faith and the visitors to the temples (practitioners of the faith), and thus lack the calm, serene expressions of figures seeking enlightenment. Nio is Japanese for "two kings".

A and Hum are derived from a and un, Japanese translation of a & om from Hinduism (e.g. aum), symbolizing the beginning and the end, birth and death (parallel to alpha & omega in the Greek alphabet). This carries into the names of Agyo (a) and Ungyo (un) and their mouths, the former being open to emulate making the a sound and symbolizing birth, beginning, the latter being closed to emulate making the un sound and symbolizing death, ending.

{{Mission Header

==Walkthrough==
*Trade [[:Category:Crystals|crystals]] to a Conquest NPC to unlock this mission, then proceed to a [[San d'Oria Gate Guard]] to start it.

*Head to [[Chateau d'Oraguille]] and check the Great Hall for a cutscene.

*Speak with [[Rahal]] ({{Location Tooltip|area=Chateau d'Oraguille|pos=H-9}}) to receive the {{KeyItem}} [[Crystal Dowser]] and further instructions.

===Temple of Uggalepih===
*Head to the [[Temple of Uggalepih]] and farm a [[Prelate Key]] from the [[Tonberry Stabber]]s (Map 3/4).
** Alternatively you may farm [[Tonberry Chopper]]s in the [[Yhoator Jungle]] or [[Tonberry Slasher]]s in the [[Den of Rancor]].
**You can bypass the key by pulling a mob from behind the door. The door will open once the mob walks into the door.

*Make your way through the Temple until you reach the door at {{Location Tooltip|area=Temple of Uggalepih|pos=I-10|map=Map 2}}, that can only be opened by killing the [[Temple Guardian]].
**The guardian will not be there and the door will be open if someone has defeated it in the last 15 minutes.

*From west to east, go through the first, third, and fourth doors in the hall, checking the '''???''' in each.
**Each '''???''' will provide a [[Piece of a Broken Key]].
**Each player in the party must obtain the three [[Piece of a Broken Key]] in order to complete the final cutscene.

*After you have all three keys, select the second door to spawn two Doll NMs: [[Nio-Hum]] and [[Nio-A]].
**Both have around 6500HP, do regular Doll attacks, and cannot be slept.
**You may pull one at a time if [[Sneak]] is activated before spawning.
**Only one needs to be defeated if the other despawns while fighting.
***Worked by killing [[Nio-A]], unknown if this also works killing [[Nio-Hum]] instead.
**The dolls are aggressive to magic so you may not pull with magic.

*After the dolls have been defeated, check the door again for a cutscene.

*Return to [[Chateau d'Oraguille]] and check the Great Hall door for a cutscene.
**You will be awarded Rank 9 and 80,000 gil.
