Walkthrough

Korroloka Tunnel

Sea Serpent Grotto

Norg

• Talk to Kaede at Port Bastok (J-5) (northernmost house) for a cutscene.
• Next talk to Kagetora at Port Bastok (F-6) (Warehouse 2).
• Go back to Port Bastok (I-5) (northernmost house) and talk to Ensetsu who will ask you for a favor. (This quest will now appear in the Bastok quests log.)
• Go to Korroloka Tunnel, Map 5 (L-8) to find a ??? that spawns three Korroloka Leeches.
  • There are Thread Leeches nearby that link with the Korroloka Leeches.
  • It is helpful to clear the area of the leeches before checking the ??? to avoid links.
• Kill the Korroloka Leeches and click on the ??? to get some Strangely Shaped Coral
  • If you receive the message "You see nothing out of the ordinary," simply wait for the leeches' bodies to vanish. Then you can get the coral by checking the ???. Not everyone has this issue.
  • If more than one party member needs this fight, only one person needs to pop the three leeches. After the last leech fades away, have a different party member who needs the item click the ???, then have the player who spawned the leeches click it afterwards. Otherwise the player who did not spawn the leeches will be unable to obtain the Strangely Shaped Coral.
• Talk to Ensetsu at Port Bastok (I-5), who tells you to take the coral to Norg.
• Go to Norg, which can be found within Sea Serpent Grotto in the Yuhtunga Jungle.
  • If this is your first trip to Norg, you will need the Airship pass for Kazham.
• Talk to Ryoma on the docks in Norg at Norg (H-8) to receive a Sealed Dagger.
• Return the dagger to Ensetsu in Port Bastok (I-5) for a cutscene that finishes the quest.

Notes

• Completion of the Quest requires access to Norg via an Airship pass for Kazham.
• The Korroloka Leeches immediately attack the player who examines the ??? (even if they have Sneak (Status Effect) on). It is a good idea to have another player use an AoE attack to quickly attract the leeches' attention.
• If the player who examines the ??? dies, even if all the Korroloka Leeches are killed before they are raised, they can still obtain the Strangely Shaped Coral by checking the ???.
• It is not necessary to kill all three leeches. If you hold one leech without aggroing or linking the other two, you can wait for the two passive leeches to despawn. Then, you can kill the leech you were holding and receive credit for the fight. The game only checks that the last remaining leech is defeated. Note that spawning the leeches and letting all three despawn does not allow you to get the key item.
• Leeches have ~250 HP each.
