*Trade your [[pickaxe]] to an [[Excavation Point]] until you receive a [[Wyvern Egg]].

*Return to [[Morjean]] in [[Northern San d'Oria]] (L-7) manuscript room in the Cathedral, and view a cut scene
**''Cut Scene has [[Yachemidot]] asking you to take the [[Wyvern Egg]] to the [[Meriphataud Mountains]].''

*Travel to [[Meriphataud Mountains]] (K-8) [[???]] located on the eastern edge of Drogaroga's Spine. 
*Trade the [[Wyvern Egg]] to the [[???]] for a cut scene.
*Talk to [[Rahal]] in [[Chateau d'Oraguille]] the Royal Knight's Quarters (on the left as you enter the Chateau).  
**''Rahal will give you the [[Dragon Curse Remedy]] and send you to the [[Ghelsba Outpost]]. 
*Travel to [[Ghelsba Outpost]] (F-10) the hut, click on door and enter the battlefield "The Holy Crest" with [[Cyranuce M Cutauleon]].

**This is a six-person, uncapped battlefield (TP and buffs are not lost upon entering).
*Defeat [[Cyranuce M Cutauleon]] to complete the quest.
**''Defeated solo by most non-mage jobs at level 45 rather than 30. May need a higher level for mage jobs. Individual experience may vary depending on job/gear/buffs/etc. (see NPC page for testimonials).''
==Notes==
*You will need to be able to get into the [[Chateau d'Oraguille]], and therefore must be [[Rank]] 2 if you are from [[San d'Oria]], or at least have started the 2-3 [[Mission]] in [[Windurst]] or [[Bastok]]
* ''If you have the [[Scythe]] weapon skill quest [[Souls in Shadow]] active, you cannot complete the [[Novalmauge]] part of the quest until you complete the [[Scythe of Trials]].  Also, it's possible to obtain the [[Scythe of Trials]] while talking to [[Novalmauge]] to flag [[Dragoon]].  Choose your dialog options carefully.''
**''Despite having the Scythe of Trials quest in progress, at least one person was able to complete DRG without issue.''
*''Although the cut-scene with [[Novalmauge]] tells you to ask the archeologist [[Oiheaurese]] to learn of dragons, he is an NPC who only appears in the cutscene with [[Morjean]].''
