== Walkthrough ==

# Complete [[Guests of the Empire]].
# Speak with [[Halshaob]] at {{Location|Nashmau|H-10|map=Map 1|id=scouting-the-ashu-talif-halshaob-walkthrough}} for a cutscene.
# Speak with Halshaob again and ask for additional details about the assignment.
# Trade three [[Imperial Bronze Piece]]s to Halshaob to accept the quest.
#* The Imperial Bronze Pieces are consumed.
#* Halshaob allows one new Ashu Talif quest acceptance per [[Japanese Midnight]] reset.
#* Different quests from the chain can be held simultaneously if they were accepted after separate resets.
# Travel to the [[Cutter]] in [[Arrapago Reef]].
#* A direct route is to use a [[Runic Portal Use Permit]] to reach the [[Dvucca Isle Staging Point]] at {{Location|Caedarva Mire|I-9|map=Map 2|id=scouting-the-ashu-talif-dvucca-staging-point}}.
#* From the staging point, travel west and enter Arrapago Reef at {{Location|Caedarva Mire|F-9|pos 2=G-9|map=Map 2|id=scouting-the-ashu-talif-arrapago-entrance}}.
# In Arrapago Reef, proceed north to the Cutter at {{Location|Arrapago Reef|H-8|map=Map 5|id=scouting-the-ashu-talif-cutter}}.
# Ensure every participating party member has '''Scouting the Ashu Talif''' active.
# Examine the Cutter and select "Scouting the Ashu Talif" to enter [[The Ashu Talif]].
# Defeat every wave of [[Ashu Talif Crew]] and [[Watch Imp]] within 30 minutes.
#* [[Swiftwinged Gekko]] is an optional objective and does not need to be defeated for quest completion.
#* Defeating Swiftwinged Gekko causes a second Ancient Lockbox to appear.
# Once the required enemies have been defeated, open the spawned [[Ancient Lockbox]]es.
# Examine '''Gate: Lifeboat''' near the battlefield entrance to leave the ship and complete the quest.
#* Use the exit before the battlefield timer expires or the completion may not register. {{verification}}
#* Completion unlocks [[Royal Painter Escort]].
#* Whether the battlefield succeeds or fails, another attempt requires accepting the quest again from Halshaob and trading another three Imperial Bronze Pieces.

=== Battle Flow ===

The battlefield progresses through three broad phases:

# Waves composed primarily of Ashu Talif Crew.
# Waves composed primarily of Watch Imps.
# Mixed waves containing both enemy types.

Swiftwinged Gekko appears several times throughout these phases. It spawns on the lower deck, moves toward the upper portion of the ship, casts area-of-effect enfeebling magic, and disappears after reaching its destination.

* Gekko commonly uses effects such as Sleep, Bind, and Paralysis.
* Damage dealt to Gekko is retained between its appearances.
* Stun and high burst damage can be used to delay or defeat it before it disappears.
* Defeating Gekko is not required to complete the battlefield. {{verification}}

=== Temporary Items ===

Participants are reportedly supplied with temporary items twice during the encounter. {{verification}}

All participants receive:

* [[Revitalizer]]
* [[Daedalus Wing]]
* [[Vile Elixir +1]]

Characters entering as the following jobs reportedly receive an additional item:

{| class="wikitable"
! Job
! Additional Temporary Item
|-
| [[Beastmaster]]
| [[Pet Food Zeta]]
|-
| [[Dragoon]]
| [[Drachenessence]]
|}

Because the temporary items are supplied again later in the encounter, the first set can be used during the earlier waves when needed.

== Strategy ==

* Move most of the party to the upper deck or the top of the stairs.
** Ordinary enemies appear on the lower deck, reducing the risk that newly spawned waves immediately attack the entire party.
* Assign one durable player to collect each linked wave and bring it to the group.
* Area-of-effect weapon skills, spells, and Blood Pacts are highly effective because the ordinary enemies have relatively low HP.
* Prioritize Watch Imps when mixed waves appear.
** Their high-tier Black Magic can become dangerous when several Imps begin casting simultaneously.
* Watch for ranged Ashu Talif Crew that remain away from the main group instead of following the puller.
* If the party only needs the quest clear, do not sacrifice control of the ordinary waves to pursue Swiftwinged Gekko.
* If attempting the bonus objective, coordinate Stun effects and burst damage each time Gekko appears.
* Use the supplied temporary items before the later resupply rather than preserving the first set for the entire encounter.

== Rewards ==

One Ancient Lockbox appears after every required wave has been defeated. A second Ancient Lockbox appears if Swiftwinged Gekko is defeated.
