** Preparation notes: 
***Orcs in [[Yughott Grotto]] and [[Fort Ghelsba]] are level 21-23 and will '''sight-aggro players under level 35''' unless they are invisible. 
***Bats in [[Yughott Grotto]] are level 15-18 and will '''sound-aggro players under level 30''' unless they have sneak. 
***Bats in [[Fort Ghelsba]] are level 8-10 and will only sound-aggro players under level 22. 
***You will need at least 2 [[Silent Oil]] and 3 [[Prism Powder]] to get to [[Horlais Peak]] safely since the effect wears off when zoning. 
***You will need another 2 [[Silent Oil]] and 3 [[Prism Powder]] if you plan to walk back after the battle. Alternatively bring a [[Instant Warp|Scroll of Instant Warp]]. 
**Enter [[Ghelsba Outpost]] through [[West Ronfaure]] at {{Location Tooltip| area = West Ronfaure | pos = E-4}}.

**Traverse the entire [[Yughott Grotto]] from {{Location Tooltip| area = Yughott Grotto | map = Map 1 | pos = E-9}} to exit at {{Location Tooltip| area = Yughott Grotto | map = Map 1 | pos = K-5}} into [[Fort Ghelsba]]. 
***One [[Silent Oil]]/[[Prism Powder]] application just about suffices if you don't stop.

==Finish==
*Finally, talk to [[Naji]] to complete this mission and gain Bastok Rank 3.

<br>
'''Note:''' This mission is essentially identical for all 3 nations. While each nation requires you to travel to the other two, they all follow the same path. San d'Orians and Windurstians who choose Bastok first will do the same things. Therefore, it IS possible to group people together from different nations to ultimately end up on the same BCNM fight. A Windurstian may choose to do the Bastok portion first, and San d'Orian portion second, while a Bastokan can do the Windurstian portion first, and the San d'Orian portion second. In this scenario, Windurstians and Bastokans can enter the same BCNM for the San d'Orian portion. <br>
'''Note 2:''' Players who have already completed this mission (for any nation) may enter any of the BC, regardless of their current or former allegiance.<br>
