Walkthrough

• With your Main Job set to Dragoon, go to Cargo Room A in Port San d'Oria and talk to Arminibit or Ceraulian.
  • Talking with either one will start the quest. It doesn't matter who you pick.
• During the cut-scene, agree to help Ceraulian obtain a Gold Hairpin.
• From this point on, you can change to any other job to complete the quest. Once you've flagged the quest, you don't need to be Dragoon to finish.
• Trade a Gold Hairpin to Ceraulian for a cut-scene.
• Wait AFTER JP MIDNIGHT and talk to Ceraulian again for another cut-scene.
• Go to Northern San d'Oria (E-6) and talk to Miaux, on the upper level in front of the Blacksmith's Guild shop for a cut-scene. She will give you the Shiny Earring
• (Optional) You may now speak with Ceraulian for a clue to visit the Goldsmith's Guild.
• Got to Bastok Markets (H-8) at Home Point #4 and talk to Ardea in front of the Goldsmiths Guild.
• Make your way to West Ronfaure.
• After arriving in West Ronfaure, go to the the tower at (F-6) and speak with Esca located inside for a cut-scene. She will mention you must go to the small island in Batallia Downs, which can only be reached through The Eldieme Necropolis.
• Go to Batallia Downs (J-10) and locate the small cave on the side of the hill. Follow the tunnel into The Eldieme Necropolis.
• Your goal in The Eldieme Necropolis is to get to the hole at (G-9; Point D on the map).
• You will need at least one other person with you to operate the gates inside of The Eldieme Necropolis as follows.

• There is a switch to manipulate the gates in each of the four large square rooms.
• Wait at (H-9) where Lich spawn and face South at the closed Titan's Gate.
• Once there, have someone flip the switch at (H-8) to open Titan's Gate.
• If you require their assistance for the upcoming fight, you will need to operate a second switch in your area at (G-9) before they will be able to join you.

• After everyone who will be taking part in the fight has gathered around (G-9; Point D on the map), walk over the center-most grave and fall down the hole.

• If Lich and Tomb Wolf aggro to you, then you must put Sneak up before falling down.

• Once you are at the bottom, follow the path until it forks and turn right. Proceed South and zone at (J-9) out to Batallia Downs.

• Outside on the island, make a turn to the north-west of the entrance (left) and go to the depression on the edge of the island.
• Examine the ??? (I-11) to spawn the NM Sturmtiger.

• ??? does not need to be examined on Dragoon job to spawn.
• The ??? is on the opposite side of the island from the Stone Monument.
• Sturmtiger attacks extremely fast, so Blink-Tanking will be relatively ineffective.
• Highly susceptible to both slow and paralyze.
• Susceptible to bind, gravity and sleep.
• (see testimonials)

• Defeat it, and examine the ??? again for Ranchuriome's Legacy. Bring it back to Ceraulian to finish the quest.
