Walkthrough

Note: Some form of Sneak (Status Effect) is highly recommended: The area is populated by level 40-49 monsters on the upper level and 50-59 monsters on the lower level, along with level ~80 monsters in the big room leading to the Cloister of Frost.

Part 1: Fei'Yin

• Talk to Brutus in Upper Jeuno who will give you three Aquafloras to put in some Underground Pools in Fei'Yin.
• Travel to Fei'Yin. The entrance is located at Beaucedine Glacier (J-4).
• Once in Fei'Yin, proceed to the lower level at (G-9) (Connection 'A').
• On the lower level, there are 3 pools at (H-8 / H-5 / F-5)
  • When the pool at (F-5) is inspected, a Ghost NM named Dabotz's Ghost appears. He can cast Tornado and does a variety of black magic (Smash Axe can stun it).
  • Dabotz's Ghost is comfortably soloable at level 60+ (see testimonials). It is advised to bring help with you if attempting at 52.
  • After Dabotz's Ghost dies, inspect the pool again to watch a cutscene.
• Once you inspected all 3 of the Underground Pools, head back to Upper Jeuno.
• Talk to Brutus and he will send you to Castle Oztroja next. (This step is important, otherwise the Treasure Chest in Castle Oztroja will not yield the Beast Collar.)

Part 2: Castle Oztroja

Castle Oztroja Maps

The larger map icons are where the chests can spawn. The smaller map icons are given for convenience of navigation. Hover over a map icon to display the map in a larger size.

• Travel to Castle Oztroja and obtain a Oztroja Chest Key.
  • Note: Chest and Coffer Keys drop with a fixed probability of 10% on HorizonXI
  • Oztroja Chest Keys drop from:
    • Yagudo Conquistador (43-47)
    • Yagudo Prior (45-49)
    • Yagudo Zealot (42-46)
    • Yagudo Lutenist (44-48)
    • Yagudo Parasite (45-49)
    • Ooze (38-40)
  • The Basement (Map 2) has plenty of Yagudo which can drop the Oztroja Chest Key. To get there, zone to the third map at Castle Oztroja, Map 1 (J-8), then to the seventh map at Castle Oztroja, Map 3 (G-7) and finally into the basement at Castle Oztroja, Map 7 (I-7) (Connections 'A' -> 'F' -> 'I').
• Once you obtain a Oztroja Chest Key, search for a Treasure Chest and open it to obtain a Beast Collar.
• Next, locate Tebhi, a monkey NPC which roams the basement (Map 2), and trade the Beast Collar to him.
  • Tebhi can be spotted on Wide Scan.
  • Tebhi will disappear for 15min after receiving the Beast Collar. (Might have been bugged in the past but seems to work as intended as of 2024-01-28, see Talk:Scattered into Shadow#Tebhi.)
• Head back to Upper Jeuno and talk to Brutus one final time to receive the Beast Gaiters.
