Walkthrough

Boyahda Tree

NOTE: You cannot begin this quest if you already have another quest involving the Weapon Training Guide active.

• Talk to Cid in Metalworks to receive the Gun of Trials and a Weapon Training Guide.
• Use the Gun of Trials until the latent effect disappears.
  • The Weapon Skills must be performed by this particular gun; using a melee Weapon Skill with this gun merely equipped does not count.
  • Weapon Skills performed while under Level Sync count.
  • You receive 1 point for opening/soloing a weapon skill, 2 points for closing a Lv.1 Skillchain, 3 points for closing a Lv.2 Skillchain and 5 points for closing a level 3 skillchain.
  • No message is given when the latent effect is lost. To check if the latent effect has disappeared, simply check if you have the bonus stats; if not, you are done. It is not necessary to unequip the gun for the latent effect to disappear; the stats disappear immediately upon acquiring the 300th WS point.
    • Note your Elemental Resistance bonuses from the weapon: they will be gone if the latent is broken.
• Once you no longer receive the latent effect bonus, head back to Metalworks and trade the Gun of Trials to Cid, who takes the weapon from you and gives you a Map to the Annals of Truth and instructions to head to the Boyahda Tree.
• Once in the Boyahda Tree, go to Map 3 (J-8) and click the ??? to spawn the NM named Beet Leafhopper.
• Once the NM is dead, reexamine the ??? to obtain the Annals of Truth.
• Return to Cid for your reward.
