:''If you've just completed [[The Requiem]] on another job, you can save a bit of time and immediately flag the quest with [[Mertaire]] on that job. However, you do need to switch back to BRD before talking to [[Imasuke]].''
*[[Mertaire]] tells you to take the [[Star Ring (Key Item)|Star ring]] obtained from [[The Requiem]] to an antique collector, namely [[Imasuke]] near the entrance to [[Qufim Island]].
*[[Imasuke]] says he can't read it and that you should bury it in Perennial Snow. The snow in question is located at ({{Location Tooltip|area=Xarcabard|pos=I-10}}) in [[Xarcabard]]. Bury it there - it appears that you only need to check the Perennial Snow once to purify the ring.
*After digging the ring up, return to [[Imasuke]], who tells you the language is old San d'Orian and that you should find someone that can read it.
*Talk to [[Chalvatot]] in [[Chateau d'Oraguille]].
*[[Chalvatot]] sends you to the [[Monastic Cavern]]. Head to {{Location Tooltip|area=Monastic Cavern|pos=I-8}} in the caverns. Clear the room and examine the altar to pop the NM [[Bugaboo]].
:*The [[Orcish Warlord]] spawns in the same room and has [[True Sight]].
:*Soloable by a 75 RDM/NIN.
:*You can simply pull the Orcish Warlord to the nearby zone so all other mobs despawn, then kill the Orc. Go back into the altar room and spawn and kill the Bugaboo.
*After you defeat [[Bugaboo]], check the altar again and go back to talk to [[Chalvatot]] to complete the quest.
