Walkthrough
- After completing Shadows of the Departed, you must wait until after a game day to activate this quest.
- Enter the palace in Ru'Lude Gardens for another cutscene with Esha'ntarl. You must zone out/in after completing Shadows of the Departed.
- Zone into Sealion's Den for a cutscene.
- Zone into The Garden of Ru'Hmet for a cutscene.
- Go to the Empyreal Paradox and check the Transcendental Radiance for a cutscene.
- Check the Transcendental Radiance again to enter the BC against Eald'narche and Kam'lanaut (6 people, 30 min).
- Because this is considered a quest, Experience Points ARE lost in this BC (similar to Divine Might)
- Buffs WILL wear on entry
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:
- Vortex: AoE low damage (~150) and Terror
- Stellar Burst: AoE low damage (~100) and Silence
- Omega Javelin: Single target low damage (~150) and Petrification
- 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.
