''<small>NOTE: This mission cannot be skipped.</small>''

=== Windurst ===
* Trading 3 crystals to a [[Conquest Overseer|conquest overseer]] unlocks this mission. Trading 12 {{verification}} will max out your rank points for Rank 2.
*Talk to any [[Windurst Gate Guard]] and accept the misson.
** [[Mokyokyo]], [[Windurst Waters]] ({{Location Tooltip| area = Windurst Waters|map = North| pos = F-5}})
** [[Janshura-Rashura]], [[Port Windurst]] ({{Location Tooltip| area = Port Windurst| pos = B-5}}) 
** [[Rakoh Buuma]], [[Windurst Woods]] ({{Location Tooltip| area = Windurst Woods| pos = K-10}})
** [[Zokima-Rokima]], [[Windurst Walls]] ({{Location Tooltip| area = Windurst Walls| pos = H-7}})

* Talk to [[Tosuka-Porika]] in the east wing of the [[Optistery]], {{Location|Windurst Waters|map=North|G-8}}.
** You may have to talk to [[Tosuka-Porika]] twice if you've started [[Past Reflections]]. No need to zone, just talk to him again.
* Talk to [[Nanaa Mihgo]] at the very north of {{Location|Windurst Woods|J-3}} and obtain the '''Key Item''': {{KeyItem}}[[Lapis Monocle]].

=== Maze of Shakrami ===
* Travel to [[Maze of Shakhrami]], which can be found in [[Tahrongi Canyon]], ({{Location Tooltip| area = Tahrongi Canyon| pos = K-5}}).
** The quickest two ways to get here are: [[Teleport-Mea]] (if you have the [[Mea Gate Crystal]]) or via the [[Kolshushu]] outpost warp, if you've completed the supplied quest.
** Adventurers below level 40 are advised to bring some form of [[Sneak]] & [[Invisible]] to evade monsters.
* Head to ({{Location Tooltip|area=Maze of Shakhrami|map=Map 1|pos=G-6}}) on the upper map and take the right-hand tunnel labeled "D"
**Along the way you can expect to find [[goblin]]s, [[:Category:Scorpions|scorpions]] and [[ghoul]]s, all of which will [[aggro]] lower level players.
* Continuing on that path will bring you to a {{Location Tooltip|area=Maze of Shakhrami|map=Map 2|pos=H-5|text=room on a new map.}} Examine each of the (4) '''Fossil Rock''' in this room to see if any contain {{KeyItem}}[[Lapis Coral]].
** The mobs inside this room all detect by sound only, so it's safe to cancel your [[Invisible]] in order to examine the '''Fossil Rock'''.

* If you have searched all four rocks without any sign of '''Lapis Coral''', you must {{Location Tooltip|area=Maze of Shakhrami|map=Map 2|pos=G-6|text=backtrack}} to the previous map. From there, proceed {{Location Tooltip|area=Maze of Shakhrami|map=Map 1|pos=H-8|text=through path "C" }}. Inside is a room with (2) more '''Fossil Rocks'''.

=== Windurst ===
* Once you have a {{KeyItem}}[[Lapis Coral]], return to {{Location|Windurst Woods|J-3}} and [[Nanaa Mihgo]] to receive the {{KeyItem}}[[Hideout Key]].
* Now head to {{Location|East Sarutabaruta|J-7}} and enter the [[:Image:InnerHorutotoRuins1.png|Lily Tower]] entrance of [[Inner Horutoto Ruins]].

=== Inner Horutoto Ruins ===
<small>''NOTE:'' It is possible to do [[Making Headlines]] in conjunction with this mission.</small>
* If you are level 20 or above there is no need for [[Sneak]] nor [[Invisible]].
* Go to ({{Location Tooltip|area=Inner Horutoto Ruins|map=Lily Tower|pos=G-9}}), the lower-left corner of the big room shaped like a rectangular ring.
* Here you enter a room with an '''Ancient Magical Gizmo'''. Head to the left and go through the  '''Cracked Wall''' and you will enter a new map: [[:Image:InnerHorutotoRuins2.png|Beetle's Burrow]], at ({{Location Tooltip|area=Inner Horutoto Ruins|map=Beetle's Burrow|pos=K-9}}).

* In the burrow, head to ({{Location Tooltip|area=Inner Horutoto Ruins|map=Beetle's Burrow|pos=G-8}}) and continue along the tunnel extension.
* Examine the '''Mahogany Door''' at the end of the tunnel for a cutscene.

=== Windurst ===
* Return to Windurst and head to the very north of {{Location|Windurst Walls|G-3}} to reach the [[House of the Hero]].
* Examine the front door for a cutscene
* Return to {{Location|Windurst Waters|map=North|G-8}} [[Tosuka-Porika]] at the Optistery to complete the mission.
** As usual, the NPCs around the [[Windurst Gate Guard]]s have additional dialogue.

== Notes ==
* Adventurers can expect to find aggressive mobs as high as level 28 when completing this mission. As such, any player lower than level 40 can expect [[aggro]] and should plan accordingly.
