Walkthrough

• Speak with Curilla (Chateau d'Oraguille) until she gives you an Old Pocket Watch. You may need to talk to her numerous times.
  • Note: After this point, this entire quest can be done as a job other than Red Mage if necessary.
• Go to the basement of the Cathedral in Northern San d'Oria and speak with the priest, Pagisalis, who asks for Velvet Cloth. Obtain the cloth and trade it to him.
  • Pagisalis can be found on the lower level of the Cathedral in the Reliquary. When you enter the Cathedral, immediately go to your left and on the right, just before the double doors in front of you there is a set of stairs that lead down. Go down these stairs and the first door on your left is the Reliquary.
• When you pray, a cutscene activates and you receive some Old Boots.
• Return to Curilla for a cutscene and to activate the next part of the quest.
  • Speak to her until she specifically asks you to retrieve the Crawler Blood and bury it and the Old Boots in the nest.
• Go to Crawlers' Nest and get a Nest Chest Key. Then find a treasure chest (click for maps: Error creating thumbnail: File missing or Error creating thumbnail: File missing) and open it with the key, and this will give you the Crawler Blood. This can be done on any job once you have flagged the quest.
• You can open this chest as a thief with Thief's Tools, Skeleton Key or Living Key to obtain the Crawler Blood.
  • CAUTION: Opening this chest aggroes the monsters around you if you are not a high enough level, even if you have Sneak active (Sneak drops upon opening the chest).

Go bury the boots by clicking on the ??? at (I-10) on the bottom floor of the nest. Note that this is the northern basement (the one with the zone back to a plateau in Rolanberry Fields).

• Wait until Japanese midnight, then click the ??? once more to obtain a pair of Warlock's Boots .
• Was able to acquire Warlock's Boots after waiting 1 minute, avoiding the wait for Japanese midnight.
