When you speak with an NPC, they'll present a series of riddles about items they seek. Obtain these items and trade them to the NPC one at a time. For each correct item, you'll receive the message: 'Ah! Yes, this is one of the items I was looking for...' Note that you don't need to trade all items in a single visit, and the items will not be returned to you.

Below are the riddles from each NPC, grouped by location. Once solved, a link to the item will be provided. If a wiki page does not exist, an external link to a retail wiki will be provided to help you learn more about the item.

For those interested in the shortest path to the [[Anniversary Ring]] consider completing the riddles of Xarcabard or Ru'Aun Gardens (aka Sky). Have fun!

== Walkthrough ==
*If you have just completed [[For the Birds]], zone out and zone in before speaking to [[Koblakiq]].
*Talk to [[Koblakiq]] and agree to help her to start the quest.
*Go to [[Castle Zvahl Baileys]] and obtain a [[Demon Pen]] from the [[Blood Demon]] or [[Demon General]] mobs there.
*Return to [[Oldton Movalpolos]] and deliver the [[Demon Pen]] to [[Koblakiq]].
*Wait until the next Earth day (midnight in Japan) and talk to her again. {{verification}}
*Return to [[Castle Zvahl Baileys]] and go to the gate behind where [[Dark Spark]] is spawned (at I-8 on the second map.)
*Select the [[???]] to spawn [[Marquis Andrealphus]] and his minions: two [[Demon Banneret]] and two [[Demon Secretary]].
:*Note that the surrounding demons will all link with them, so pulling them to the side is recommended.
:*The minions are relatively weak and can be slept.
:*The [[Marquis Andrealphus]] will do an [[Escape]] special that Escapes whoever is currently tanking, sending them out of the zone into [[Xarcabard]]. This special goes off around 75% and 25% health on the Marquis. If you are Escaped, zone back in the castle before they are all defeated to get the key item, or you may have to repeat the fight.
:** [[Marquis Andrealphus]] can and will use his [[Escape]] ability on the last person, or if you are soloing.
:*After Andrealphus is defeated, the other 4 will die automatically.
*Once [[Marquis Andrealphus]] and his minions are dead, select the [[???]] again for {{KeyItem}}[[Zeelozok's Earplug]].
*Return to [[Oldton Movalpolos]] and talk to [[Koblakiq]] to complete the quest.

[[Xarcabard]], I-8 (northwest corner against mountain):

*Tracent:
** 1. Sweet and rich, a regal treat, From the hive where queens meet. What am I, nectar so sweet? [[Royal Jelly]]
** 2. I dwell in the depths, where water's still, From a crab's claw, I'm gathered with skill. What am I, from a well's quiet chill? [[Lufet Salt]]
** 3. Carved with a grin, I glow at night, A fiery face that sparks delight. What am I, on Hallows End's sight? [[Jack-o'-Lantern]]
** 4. Twelve fiery fruits, from jungles deep, Spicy and bold, their secrets they keep. What am I, where heat does creep? [[Kazham Peppers]] x12

*Drowsy:
** 1. In shadows I grow, with magic's breath, A pungent bulb, to ward off death. What am I, from the shaman's wreath? [[Shaman Garlic]]
** 2. In a bubbling brew, dark and deep, A fish leaps forth from the jug to leap. What am I, where flavors meet?
** 3. Dark as night with a crimson twist, A sweetened treat you can't resist. What am I, where blood and cocoa persist?
** 4. Thirty-three cookies, wild and free, Flavors scattered, no recipe. What am I, a chaotic spree? [[Wild Cookie]] x33

[[The Boyahda Tree]], J-7:

*Ah Puch:
** 1. From flames reborn, I rise and fly, A fiery plume that sparks the sky. What am I, as ashes lie? [[Phoenix Feather]]
** 2. Soft and warm, I line the floor, A cozy nest for feathers to adore. What am I, where clucklings roar? [[Chocobo Bedding]]
** 3. Woven by a ghost, in moon's pale light, I drift unseen, through endless night. What am I, a fabric of fright? [[Luminicloth]] [https://ffxiclopedia.fandom.com/wiki/Luminicloth]
** 4. Three dark feathers, soft and light, From wings that vanish in the night. What am I, with shadows in flight? [[Black Chocobo Feather]] x3

*Kipling:
** 1. In the tomb's dark silence, I rest alone, A forgotten message on defiant reeds. What am I, where the past has grown? [[Ancient Papyrus]]
** 2. Dark and smooth, caressed by air, Wind and light weave through its flare. What am I, glowing everywhere?
** 3. Crafted with care, too strong to break, Its shine endures, no rust to wake. What am I, made flawed for sciences' sake?
** 4: Woven from Crystal, yet soft to touch, I breathe with life, through stone is such. What am I, where rock and fabric clutch?

[[Yhoator Jungle]] H-8:

*Kore:
** 1. Amid the canyon's dusty sprawl, I stand alone, silent and tall. Armed with spines, who am I at all? [[Tahrongi Cactus]] [https://ffxiclopedia.fandom.com/wiki/Tahrongi_Cactus]
** 2. In a jug I dwell, with roots that grow, A plant with life, but not for show. Who am I, where the green winds blow?
** 3. From moss-clad roots of ages old, I rise in wood, both rich and bold. What am I, from a tree untold? [[Wisteria Lumber]] [https://ffxiclopedia.fandom.com/wiki/Wisteria_Lumber]
** 4. In my grip, the storm is sealed, Electric power, fate revealed. What am I, with skies to wield? [[Thunder Staff]]

*Tiberon:
** 1. From a labyrinth beast, I'm won in strife, A wooden prize from a horned one's life. Carved from conflict and toil, what am I?
** 2. Beneath the stars where the sea winds sigh, Our hidden ranks are bound by tie. By invite-only-what am I? [[Tenshodo Invite]]
** 3. With one switch wing, I seal your fate, A journey ends at my home's gate. What am I, both tool and state?
** 4. I'm a throne of quiet, a resting place, Where burdens vanish without a trace. In a private space, what am I?

[[Throne Room]]:

*Frank:
** 1. From a beast that roams the crag's vast site, I coat the wool, soft and bright. What am l, born from lumbering might? Landolin Cube (unconfirmed)
** 2. I walk through flame and chill of ice, Neither grand nor poor, a humble price. What am l, from a kingdom's slice?
** 3. With claws of strength and skill so bright, I'm crafted too well, a fearsome sight. What am l, from tiger's might?
** 4. Too strong, too fast, I was built too well, Overengineered, where soft leather shoes should dwell. What am l, spoiled before my spell?

*Hookstar:
** 1. On an icy isle where giants stride, A tower stands where cold winds collide. Attack plans written on leather, far and wide. Ram Leather Missive (unconfirmed)
** 2. Boots of great speed, I dash with grace, I blur through the land, a swift embrace. What am l, in the race's chase? [[Powder Boots]]
** 3. Where sirens blare and waters churn, A golden mask, for secrets to burn. What am l, in depths where treasures turn?
** 4. Tough as stone, yet soft to the touch, From coastal beasts with skin so much, What am l, exceptional and such?

<big>'''Warning'''</big>
* There is a misconception circulation amongst the community that touching the glowing spot behind the [[Shady Dealer]] gives an additional 5 [[Mog Satchel]] slots. This is a long-standing bug and you will be unable to use these 5 slots if activated.

Promathia Mission 8-4

2024-12-09T19:58:05Z

Radu4929:

{{Mission Header
|Mission Name=Dawn
|Expansion=Chains of Promathia
|Start Location = [[Al'Taieu]]
|Description=Revelations of truth accompany the awakening of Promathia. The world and its people stand in the twilight of the apocalypse. Dawn Goddess Altana, grant us victory!
|Level=
|Repeatable=
|HAAP=2 points
|Previous=When Angels Fall
|Next=Storms of Fate
|Title=Banisher of Emptiness, Averter of the Apocalypse
|Reward=[[Rajas Ring]] or [[Sattva Ring]] or [[Tamas Ring]], [[Mog Wardrobe|Mog Wardrobe 2]]: 5 Slots 
|Image=
}}

==Walkthrough==
*Zone into [[Al'Taieu]] for a cutscene.
*Return to [[The Garden of Ru'Hmet]] and pass through the Cermet Portal to get to the main garden elevator. Choose to descend from the first floor and zone into the [[Empyreal Paradox]]. Check the Transcendental Radiance for a cutscene and then check it again to enter the battleground.
:*All buffs and [[TP]] are removed upon entering the fight.
*You will now face [[Promathia]] himself. The time limit for the battle is 30 minutes.
*[[Prishe]] and [[Selh'teus]] will appear to help. They will generally take care of themselves, but Prishe can be healed if she draws aggro. If she's KO'd, you can cast [[Raise]] on her and she will go back to fighting with full HP and no weakness. Selh'teus cannot be healed by players, but has several abilities he can use to heal himself. If Selh'teus is KO'd, the battle immediately ends and the party will be removed from the battlefield.
*In addition to this, if the entire party is KO'd at any point during the fight, they will be immediately removed from the battlefield. The game will not allow you the usual 3 minutes for someone to get back up like it typically does in other battlefields. Because of this, you cannot fully wipe and [[Reraise]] to recover if needed; one party member must always remain alive.
*[[Promathia]] has two forms. Once you beat the first form, you can rest before engaging the second form, though eventually Prishe gets tired of waiting and runs in.
*[[Promathia]] has low evasion.
*Upon defeating [[Promathia]]'s second form, every ''living'' party member (including those doing it for the first time) will receive 2000 [[Experience Points]] or [[Limit Points]].

===First form===
*[[Promathia]]'s first form has about 8000 HP. It uses the following special attacks:
:* '''Empty Salvation:''' [[AoE]] (range 25?) damage (~250) and [[Dispel]] 3 effects
:* '''Pestilent Penance:''' [[Cone Attack]] damage (~400) and [[Plague]]
:* '''Malevolent Blessing:''' [[Cone Attack]] damage (400-500) and [[Curse]]
:* '''Infernal Deliverance:''' [[AoE]] (targeted?) damage and [[Stun]], ignores [[Utsusemi]]
:* '''Chains of (Apathy, Arrogance, Cowardice, Envy and Rage):''' No effect, due to the lights from the [[mothercrystal]]s.
:* '''Comet (Spell):''' Single-target magic damage (600-900). Can be absorbed by Utsusemi.

*[[Prishe]] fights along with you.
:*She uses a [[Daedalus Wing]] when you start to fight.
:*She uses the Auroral Uppercut [[Weapon Skill]], which is rather weak (23 damage).
:*She also casts [[Divine Magic]] nukes on [[Promathia]] and [[Cure]]s herself and the party.

*[[Selh'teus]] fights along with you a bit too.
:*His '''Luminous Lance''' attack does a bit of damage and stuns [[Promathia]] for about 25 seconds.

===Second form===
*[[Promathia]]'s second form has about 12000 HP. It uses the following special attacks:
:* '''Empty Salvation''', '''Pestilent Penance''', '''Malevolent Blessing''', '''Infernal Deliverance''' as above
:* '''Seal of Quiescence:''' [[AoE]] [[Silence]], lasts up to 75 seconds. It cannot be healed by things like [[Silena]] or [[Echo Drops]], you must wait it out.
:* '''Winds of Oblivion:''' [[AoE]] [[Amnesia]] (disable Job Abilities and Weapon Skills), lasts up to 75 seconds.
:* '''Meteor (spell):''' [[AoE]] magic damage (300-600)
::* He casts this once a minute; it takes 10 seconds to cast, which is plenty of time to run out of range.
:* '''Bastion of Twilight:''' [[Magic Shield]] effect
:* '''Wheel of Impregnability:''' [[Invincible]] effect
*You can tell which shield is up by looking at the big ring below [[Promathia]]. Red is physical, green is magic.

*[[Prishe]] continues to fight beside you.
:* She eats [[Ambrosia]] when you start to fight.
:* This time she uses '''Nullifying Dropkick''', which breaks [[Promathia]]'s shields.
:* She continues to nuke [[Promathia]] and [[Cure]] herself and the party.
:* After a while (4m15?), she uses a [[Carnal Incense]] and [[Hundred Fists]].
:* She can also use [[Benediction]] if she's in trouble.

*[[Selh'teus]] continues to fight against the second form.
:* His '''Luminous Lance''' attack does a bit of damage and stuns [[Promathia]] for about 25 seconds.
:* His '''Revelation''' attack just does damage(?).
:* If he gets in trouble, he has '''Rejuvenation''' and '''Redemption''' moves that give HP, MP, and TP to him and any party members that may be near him.

;Strategy tips:
:* Kiting [[Promathia]] is a good way to avoid most of his damaging attacks.
:**In particular, if you have hate when he starts casting [[Meteor]], run away from him so that his casting fails, like with [[King Behemoth]].
:***This is the single most important thing for winning the BC.
:* Watch out for [[Prishe]] and she will watch out for you.
:* Both of Promathia's forms can be Straight Tanked by a War/nin without Haste gear, using Luck and Skill.

=== Final Cutscenes ===
'''Wait until JP midnight, to finish the following cutscenes for CoP. First, say farewell to some of your companions. You can visit them in any order.'''
;Louverance:
:*Head to [[Southern San d'Oria]] and talk to [[Hinaree]] in the Count's Manor ({{Location Tooltip|area=Southern San d'Oria|pos=B-6}}) for a cutscene.
:*Zone into [[Uleguerand Range]] for a cutscene.
:*Head to [[Southern San d'Oria]] and approach the Count's Manor ({{Location Tooltip|area=Southern San d'Oria|pos=B-6}}) for a cutscene.
;Chebukkis:
:*Head to [[Port Windurst]] and talk to [[Chipmy-Popmy]] at the Fishing Guild ({{Location Tooltip|area=Port Windurst|pos=C-8}}) for a cutscene.
:*Head to [[Bibiki Bay - Purgonorgo Isle]] and talk to [[??? Warmachine]] at ({{Location Tooltip|area=Bibiki Bay - Purgonorgo Isle|pos=H-11}}) for a cutscene. When it ends you will receive a [[Colored Drop]] that appears to be random.
;Shikarees:
:*Zone into [[Mhaura]] for a cutscene.
;Jabbos:
:*Zone into [[Oldton Movalpolos]] for a cutscene.
;Tenzen:
:*Head to [[Metalworks]] and talk to [[Cid]] at ({{Location Tooltip|area=Metalworks|pos=H-8}}) for a cutscene.
Once you've talked to all of them:
*Head to [[Ru'Lude Gardens]] and approach the palace for a cutscene.
*Head to [[Upper Jeuno]] and click on the [[Marble Bridge Eatery]] door for a cutscene.
*At this point you can click on the Marble Bridge door again to choose one of the three "CoP rings": [[Rajas Ring]], [[Sattva Ring]], or [[Tamas Ring]]. You can continue with the cutscenes without making your decision yet.
:*If you discard your CoP ring, you will be able to obtain one of the three rings again by revisiting the Marble Bridge. If the ring is discarded again, you must wait 27 real life days before you will be able to once again choose and obtain another ring.
*Head to [[Tavnazian Safehold]] and check the Walnut Door (K-7), (upper floor: north) for a cutscene.
*Head to [[Lufaise Meadows]] and approach the Blueblade Fell ({{Location Tooltip|area=Lufaise Meadows|pos=J-6}}) for the final fullscreen cutscene.
:*Additional note: [[Distant Worlds]] will play during the final cutscene. Also, it may be a good idea if you have [[Fomor Hate|fomor hate]] to cast Sneak or use a Silent Oil prior to viewing the cutscene--a party of VT-to-75 fomor spawn at Blueblade Fell and can kill you when the cutscene ends. (Invisible will wear off as soon as you enter the cutscene, but Sneak will not. Casting Sneak before approaching the edge of Blueblade Fell will ensure your safety should you exit the cutscene during the night.)
*After the cutscene, the title '''Banisher of Emptiness''' will be awarded and both the [[Storms of Fate]] and [[Requiem of Sin]] quests become available.

{{tocright}}
The [[Horizon Adventuring Assistance Program]] or [[Horizon Adventuring Assistance Program|HAAP]] (not to be confused with [[Horizon Adventurer Rewards Program|HARP]]) for short is a custom Horizon rewards program {{changes}}. It's aim is to encourage adventurers who have already completed certain missions and other quests, to help those who have not. In other words, help must be given to an Adventurer who has yet to complete that mission or quest.

By assisting others, [[HAAP Points]] will be earned which can then be exchanged for various rewards, including some [[:Category:Cosmetic|cosmetic]] items. To become eligible to earn [[HAAP Points]], adventurers must first visit [[HAAP.I]] at {{Location|Selbina|H-8}}.

== How to Obtain HAAP Points==
[[HAAP Points]] are awarded upon the completion of certain content which have a '''BCNM type fight''' attached to them. The points are awarded at the point of the successfully beating the BCNM. For example, if a player wishes to help a friend complete nation mission 2-3, to earn HAAP points they need to defeat the dragon only. They do '''NOT''' need to complete all the cut-scenes etc. on the build-up to the fight.

Below is a table of all the known ways of obtaining the points.

Promathia Mission 7-5

{{Mission Header
| Mission Name= The Warrior's Path

}}

==Walkthrough==
*Click the Iron Gate to enter and select "The Warrior's Path".
**This battle is uncapped. However, buffs and TP ''wear off'' upon entry.
**You '''cannot exit''' once you enter.
*After defeating [[Tenzen]], you will receive a cutscene and zone into [[Al'Taieu]].

==The Fight==
*You will enter the Battlefield facing [[Tenzen]] ([[SAM]]) and the three [[Tarutaru]] Chebukki siblings: [[Makki-Chebukki]] ([[RNG]]), [[Kukki-Chebukki]] ([[BLM]]) and [[Cherukiki]] ([[WHM]]). You ''only'' need to defeat Tenzen to win the battle; the Chebukkis are invulnerable, evading all attacks and resisting all spells. (They will, however, attack and enfeeble you, and buff and cure [[Tenzen]] as they do so.) They all act about once every 20 seconds.
** [[Kukki-Chebukki]] casts [[Firaga II]], [[Thundaga II]], [[Waterga III]], [[Blizzard III]], [[Thunder III]], [[Choke]], [[Burn]], [[Frost]], [[Rasp]], [[Blind]], [[Bio III]], [[Stun]], [[Drain]], [[Sleepga]], ? (so level 66-68)
** [[Cherukiki]] casts [[Cure IV]], [[Cure V]], [[Regen III]], [[Haste]], [[Protect IV]], [[Shell III]], [[Silence]], [[Paralyze]], [[Slow]], [[Diaga II]], [[Holy]], [[Banishga II]], ? (so level 66-67)
** It seems that they link with Tenzen, so they will attack the first person to engage Tenzen until that person dies; you may want someone other than your main tank to engage first and get the Tarutaru's attention.
*** A [[Beastmaster]] jug pet is ideal for this; if the pet is the first thing to attack Tenzen, the Tarutaru will all focus on attacking the pet, and the pet will run over to them to fight back so that your party isn't hit by the -ga spells.
*[[Tenzen]] uses a [[Great Katana]] and a [[Archery|bow]] for ranged attacks. He switches between them periodically.
**His weapon skills are different from the ones players use:
***Amatsu: Kazakiri ([[Tachi: Jinpu]](?), ~200)
***Amatsu: Torimai ([[Tachi: Enpi]], 2 hits, ~250)
***Amatsu: Yukiarashi ([[Tachi: Yukikaze]], ~400 + [[Blind (Status Effect)|Blind]])
***Amatsu: Tsukioboro ([[Tachi: Gekko]], ~500 + [[Silence (Status Effect)|Silence]])
***Amatsu: Hanaikusa ([[Tachi: Kasha]], ~1000 + [[Paralysis]])
***Amatsu: Tsukikage (~500, closes [[Cosmic Elucidation]])
***Oisoya (bow, ~1800, ignores [[Utsusemi]]) (maybe [[Namas Arrow]]?)
**He also never "readies" weapon skills, he just uses them, which makes them hard to stun.
*[[Tenzen]] will eat a [[Shogun Rice Ball]] at some point. This will improve his [[Attack]], [[Defense]], and [[Magic Defense]] considerably.
**Often this happens after he uses [[Meikyo Shisui]] the first time.
*[[Tenzen]] will use [[Meikyo Shisui]] at some point, and then begin to to self-[[Skillchain]] whoever has hate. After an initial 3 WS, Tenzen may or may not use the WS Amatsu: Tsukikage, an unavoidable ranged Great Katana WS that bypasses shadows, triggering the [[Cosmic Elucidation]] Skillchain which deals over 1000 damage to all players in range and triggers ejection from the BC, much like the [[Snoll Tzar]].
**Whether he uses Amatsu: Tsukikage does '''NOT''' depend on whether his 3rd [[Meikyo Shisui]] WS lands. Even if 3rd WS misses, or original target is dead, he may still use WS Amatsu: Tsukikage and it will '''STILL''' trigger Cosmic Elucidation.
**He will use [[Meikyo Shisui]] multiple times at will.
**[[Utsusemi]] blocks most of his Weapon Skills, and it is possible to recast [[Utsusemi: Ni]] between his WS.
***His second Weapon Skill often takes 2 shadows.
**Tenzen's weapon skills can be anticipated with [[Third Eye]] including Amatsu: Tsukigage.
**Tenzen can be [[Stun]]ned out of his Weapon Skills during Meikyo Shisui.
***A Level 75 [[RDM]]/[[DRK]] could have practical use in this situation for a [[Chainspell]]+[[Stun]] strategy when Tenzen first uses Meikyo Shisui, similar to the tactic used on [[Suzaku]] (or, to a greater extent, the [[Dynamis Lord]]). This strategy has not been tested, however; only theorized.
***One or more Blue Mages spamming [[Head Butt]] has a very good chance at killing the skillchain alltogether.
*[[Tenzen]] will give up when he's close to being defeated, at which point you will win. It is estimated you will need to do between 12,000 and 14,000 damage. He will give up at roughly 15% HP remaining.

===Strategy Tips===
* It seems to be impossible to prevent him from using [[Meikyo Shisui]] by hitting him fast and hard. You need to find a way of defeating him after he uses it, by continuing to damage him without letting him land his weapon skills.
* For maximum effect, try to do as much damage as you can before Tenzen eats his Shogun Rice Ball, using your own Skillchains and offensive two-hour abilities ([[Astral Flow]], [[Manafont]], [[Chainspell]], [[Eagle Eye Shot]], etc.).
** On the other hand, it's also good to save some burst damage for when he uses [[Meikyo Shisui]] so that you can finish him before he is able to use all 4 Weapon Skills.
* [[Dispel]] any buffs cast on [[Tenzen]].
* You don't have a time limit like you did with [[Snoll Tzar]], so you don't need to rush. But still try to do as much damage as you can while keeping everyone alive.
* If [[Tenzen]] uses [[Meikyo Shisui]], [[Bind]]/[[Shadowbind]] him and run out of range to delay his Skillchain for as long as possible.
* Ignore the Chebukkis; they can't be harmed.
* Spread out to avoid possible [[AOE]] damage.
* This BC, similar to other maximum spike damage BCs like [[Maat]] and [[Snoll Tzar]], is very well suited for WAR since a well-equipped WAR will do 3,000-5,000 damage, depending on duration of fight, even while taking most hits into shadows. A party with 3+ WARs will win this BC near instantly (same for a full SMN party).
* A [[Samurai]], using the standard 5 WS 2HR combo, has been recorded to do 7.1k damage to [[Tenzen]] with [[Soul Voice]] and double [[Minuet]]. [[Tachi: Yukikaze]] > [[Tachi: Gekko]] ([[Fragmentation]]) > [[Tachi: Kasha]] ([[Light]]) > [[Tachi: Yukikaze]] > [[Tachi: Gekko]] ([[Fragmentation]]) took [[Tenzen]] to roughly 40-45% HP left.
* [[Samurai]]/[[Ranger]] is a very useful set up for this battle, Tenzen's Evasion seems to be rather low, making it easy to land [[Sidewinder]] on him consistently for 900-1,500 damage per hit.
