== Walkthrough ==
=== Starting the Quest ===
# Complete [[Omens]].
# Zone and wait until the following Vana'diel day.
# Set [[Blue Mage]] as your main job at level 50 or higher.
# Speak with [[Waoud]] at {{Location Tooltip|area=Aht Urhgan Whitegate|map=Map 1|pos=J-10|text=Aht Urhgan Whitegate (J-10)|id=transformations-waoud-start}}.
# Select '''Gaze away.''' and pay 1,000 gil for a divination.
#* Waoud will direct you toward the gate of nobility.
#* This divination is required to advance the quest.
# Examine the '''Imperial Whitegate''' at {{Location Tooltip|area=Aht Urhgan Whitegate|map=Map 1|pos=L-8|text=L-8|id=transformations-imperial-whitegate}} for a cutscene.
#* The quest is formally added to the current quest log after this cutscene.
#* [[Lathuya]] can begin commissioning the remaining three pieces of Blue Mage Artifact Armor after this cutscene.
#* Blue Mage is no longer required as the main job for the remaining quest steps.

=== Alzadaal Undersea Ruins Cutscenes ===
The following route obtains both required cutscenes through the eastern side of [[Caedarva Mire]].

# Travel to [[Nashmau]].
# Leave Nashmau through the eastern exit at {{Location Tooltip|area=Nashmau|map=Map 1|pos=H-8|text=H-8|id=transformations-nashmau-east-exit}} to enter [[Caedarva Mire]].
# Travel to [[Tyamah]] at {{Location Tooltip|area=Caedarva Mire|map=Map 1|pos=J-10|text=Caedarva Mire, Map 1 (J-10)|id=transformations-tyamah}}.
# Enter the [[Alzadaal Undersea Ruins]] using one of the following methods:
#* Trade one [[Imperial Silver Piece]] to Tyamah.
#* Speak with Tyamah while possessing the {{KeyItem}}[[Captain Wildcat Badge]].
#* <span class="salvage">Speak with Tyamah while possessing a {{KeyItem}}[[Remnants Permit]].</span>
# After entering the ruins, proceed south toward the room containing the teleporters.
# The first required cutscene triggers automatically before reaching the teleporters.
# Use the western teleporter.
# Continue south through the next section of the ruins.
# The second required cutscene triggers automatically as you approach the far passage.
# After viewing both cutscenes, leave the ruins or return to Nashmau.

==== Alternative Cutscene Route ====
<div class="nyzul">
The two cutscenes may also be reached through the [[Nyzul Isle Staging Point]] teleporter network if that destination is available. The Tyamah route above is generally more direct and does not require navigating the central Alzadaal teleporter hub.
</div>

=== Nepionic Soulflayer ===
# Return to [[Nashmau]] and leave through the western exit into [[Caedarva Mire]].
# Travel west to [[Nasheefa]] at {{Location Tooltip|area=Caedarva Mire|map=Map 1|pos=E-11|text=Caedarva Mire, Map 1 (E-11)|id=transformations-nasheefa}}.
# Enter the [[Alzadaal Undersea Ruins]] using one of the following methods:
#* Trade one [[Imperial Silver Piece]] to Nasheefa.
#* Speak with Nasheefa while possessing the {{KeyItem}}[[Captain Wildcat Badge]].
#* <span class="salvage">Speak with Nasheefa while possessing a {{KeyItem}}[[Remnants Permit]].</span>
# After entering Alzadaal Undersea Ruins, use the northern teleporter at {{Location Tooltip|area=Alzadaal Undersea Ruins|map=Map 1|pos=I-9|text=Map 1 (I-9)|id=transformations-alzadaal-northern-teleporter}}.
# Examine the unnamed target in the northwestern corner at {{Location Tooltip|area=Alzadaal Undersea Ruins|map=Map 1|pos=G-7|text=Map 1 (G-7)|id=transformations-nepionic-blank}}.
# A short cutscene plays and the [[Nepionic Soulflayer]] appears.
# Defeat the Nepionic Soulflayer.
# Examine the same target at {{Location Tooltip|area=Alzadaal Undersea Ruins|map=Map 1|pos=G-7|text=G-7|id=transformations-nepionic-completion}} again.
# Complete the resulting cutscene to receive:
#* [[Magus Keffiyeh]]
#* The title '''Paragon of Blue Mage Excellence'''

==== Dvucca Isle Alternative ====
The battle area can also be approached from the [[Dvucca Isle Staging Point]].

# Travel to the Dvucca Isle Staging Point.
# Head south through [[Caedarva Mire]] Map 2 to [[Nuimahn]] at {{Location Tooltip|area=Caedarva Mire|map=Map 2|pos=I-10|text=Caedarva Mire, Map 2 (I-10)|id=transformations-nuimahn}}.
# Enter the Alzadaal Undersea Ruins by trading an [[Imperial Silver Piece]] or using another valid form of entry.
# Proceed to the unnamed target at {{Location Tooltip|area=Alzadaal Undersea Ruins|map=Map 1|pos=G-7|text=Map 1 (G-7)|id=transformations-dvucca-blank}}.
