• Head to Mhaura and speak to Phoochuchu at Mhaura (H-8), standing under the bridge.
• Head to the lower portion of Bastok Mines. Near the alchemy guild, click on the door to the 'house' at Bastok Mines (J-6) for a cutscene.
• Head to Waughroon Shrine in Palborough Mines for another cutscene.
• Return to Norg and talk to Jaucribaix to receive a Banishing Charm ().
  • He gives you another if you drop this one.
• Return to Waughroon Shrine and trade the Banishing Charm to the Burning Circle to enter the BCNM.
  • Only one person needs a Banishing Charm to begin the fight. All party members that have this quest started still need to bring the charm to obtain a Charred Helm upon victory.

The Battle

• You DO NOT need to be on Samurai to enter the BCNM.
• You can die and Reraise without aggro (assuming you die outside of the main circle), but the demons regen HP when not engaged in battle.
• You must kill the following three demon NMs within a 30-minute time limit:
  • Gaki (BLM)
  • Onki (SMN)
    • Assisted by Onibi
  • Rasetsu (DRK)
• Demons appear to be level 66-67.
• The demons are immune to all forms of Sleep and Silence; however, you can put Onibi to Sleep.
• Paralyze, Bind, and Gravity affect the demons, with resistance building over time.
• The demons use their 2-hour abilities at low HP.
• When Onki uses Astral Flow, even if he has Onibi (an Elemental) out, he summons an Avatar named Ayakashi, which can be any of the 6 original Celestial Avatars.
• Gaki can cast Burst in relatively quick succession, make sure to stun or have shadows.
• Onki has approximately 3000 hit points. Rasetsu has approximately 7500 hit points. Gaki has approximately 6000 hit points.
• Can be defeated by many combinations of two level 75 characters. Solo fight possible with some 75 jobs.

• Return to Norg and report to Jaucribaix,
• Acquire a Gold Thread and trade it to Jaucribaix.
