Walkthrough

If you have never talked to this NPC before you may have to talk to her a few times before she gives you the quest.
  • Travel to Boyahda Tree and find the Cloister of Storms.
    • Enter Boyahda Tree from The Sanctuary of Zi'Tah at (K-12).
    • Follow the path to the first fork, take a left. Take the next right and follow that until you come to a large room with a huge tree in the middle.
    • Travel northwest through the big room and through a second big room until you get to (A-7) and head up the tunnel. You will go up another level and eventually come out at (E-6) of another map and another huge room.
    • Head south-east as much as possible until you see an immense waterfall. Walk under the big waterfall and down the passageway behind it. You will zone into the Cloister of Storms.
  • Once you defeat Ramuh, you will acquire the Key ItemWhisper of Storms.
  • Return the Whisper to Ripapa for your reward.

The Fight

  • Alliances are not allowed, they will be broken up into separate battlefields.
  • Everyone who is involved in the fight must have a tuning fork of the correct protocrystal.
  • There is no cap on this battle.
  • There is a 30-minute time limit.
  • You can buff up before entering the protocrystal, so feel free to do so and rest up while still outside.
  • Try to fight Ramuh Prime on Earthsday and do not fight him on Lightningday or during a New Moon PhaseVerification Needed.
  • Keep up Barthundra at all times.
  • Do not use Thunder-based spells, weaponskills, or weapons that have Additional effect: Lightning damage, as they will heal Ramuh Prime.
  • The battlefield is shaped like a long path up the side of hill, with a switchback about halfway to the top. This allows the mages to stand above the fight (and out of easy reach of the avatar) while still being able to cast spells upon the combatants.
