Walkthrough

  • Speak with a San d'Oria Gate Guard, who will instruct you to go to the garden in the Chateau.
    • Trading 4 crystals to a Conquest NPC will unlock this mission.
  • Head for the Chateau and go towards (F-8). You will receive a cutscene.
  • Return to the Gate Guard to receive the mission.
  • Gather a party and head for Horlais Peak. Only people who are on 7-2 or have completed it may enter. It is recommended that you bring a BLM and/or a BRD for sleeping the mobs.
  • Get ready and enter the BC.
    • The fight is against 3 Orcs and 2 Warmachines
      • Darokbok of Clan Reaper (Level 68, PLD)
      • Derakbak of Clan Wolf (Level 68, DRG)
      • Jagidbod of Clan Reaper (Level 68, RNG)
      • Wolf Clan Warmachine (Unknown)
      • Reaper Clan Warmachine (Unknown)
    • Open the fight with Elemental Seal + Sleepga II. Fight the Warmachines first, then the Paladin, the Dragoon and Wyvern, and the Ranger last. A Melee/NIN can pretty easily solo any of the NMs. Prioritize the Warmachines.
  • When finished, you'll receive another cutscene, and receive the Crystal Dowser.
  • Head back to San d'Oria and speak to any Gate Guard to finish the mission.

Notes

This mission can be carefully soloed by BLM/RDM. Kill the Warmachines first, then RNG. If you have problems landing sleep on the PLD, he can be killed next; if there are few issues, keep him alive for Aspir and target the DRG. Ignore the wyvern, you will still exit the BC with a win once all Orcs are dead if the wyvern is still alive: Instead, keep him slept and use for Aspir. Use Gravity and Bind (though do not waste the MP for these on the RNG, obviously, as he still attacks from a distance). Try to silence the PLD to prevent him from curing himself.
