Walkthrough

After completing Shadows of the Departed, you must wait until after a game day to activate this quest.

Battle

  • Kam'lanaut is a tougher version of the boss from Zilart Mission 8.
    • He casts various debuff spells: Silencega, Slowga (overwrites Haste), Graviga, Dispelga
    • He is Susceptible to Gravity, but it is very difficult to land without Elemental Seal.
    • Special attacks:
      • Light Blade: Single-target high damage. Damage is reduced by kiting.
      • Earth Blade, Water Blade, Wind Blade, Fire Blade, Frost Blade, Lightning Blade: En-spell effects (~60 damage per hit).
        • When this effect is on, nukes of the matching element heal him.
      • Great Wheel: AoE damage (~350) and Hate Reset, wipes Utsusemi.
    • When given TP Kam'lanaut can triple attack TP attacks in a row giving very little breathing space for healers, meaning he can do 3 Great Wheels in a row killing any Melee in range
  • Eald'narche is a tougher version of the stage 2 boss from Zilart Mission 16.
    • He teleports around the arena.
    • He is highly evasive. Sushi and/or Madrigal strongly recommended.
    • He casts Bindga, Sleepga II, and all tier III -ga nukes.
    • He is very strong vs. magical damage.
    • Special attacks:
  • Strategy tips: Kite Kam'lanaut initially and go all-out to kill Eald'narche.
    • Stunning Eald'narche's nukes is key. A RDM/DRK can chainspell stun Eald'narche while someone kites Kam'lanaut and the rest of the team focuses on Eald'narche. Stunners should stay back to avoid Terror.
    • Erase Slowga from a NIN tank ASAP.

Afterwards

  • Talk to Aldo in Tenshodo guild for a cutscene. If you have switched nations, you must be Rank 5 or higher to receive this cutscene.
  • Wait until Japan midnight and talk to Gilgamesh in Norg for a cutscene to complete the quest.
