Walkthrough

• Talk to Ghebi Damomohe at the Neptune's Spire.
  • Pick the first dialogue option to start the quest. Otherwise you will have to zone to restart the quest.
  • Even though the quest is started in Lower Jeuno with Ghebi Damomohe, the quest appears as a Bastok quest.
• Farm the chips in Pso'Xja, and then trade them all to Cid.
  • The Gray Chip is dropped by all Diremite type mobs.
  • The Carmine Chip is dropped by Snow Lizards and Frost Lizards.
    (Note that Maze Lizards and Labyrinth Lizards do not drop Carmine Chips.)
  • The Cyan Chip is dropped by the Mimic type mobs Treasure Chests and Archaic Chest.
• To repeat the quest you only need to trade the chips to Cid. You do not need to talk to Ghebi Damomohe again.

This map is a bit of a puzzle; the Stone Doors marked on the map require the matching Blue Bracelet or Green Bracelet (key item) to pass through.

• When you touch the colored ???s in I-8 on the upper floor (Blue) and H-7 in the basement (Green), the door closes behind you and two Dolls spawn and attack.
  • The Blue ??? spawns Gargoyle-Kappa and Gargoyle-Iota; the Green ??? spawns Gargoyle-Lambda and Gargoyle-Mu.
  • The Dolls alternate between physical immunity and very high magical resistance, each doll changing weaknesses simultaneously. This is marked by a blue- or yellow-colored sheen on each mob, so be prepared to switch targets frequently.
  • When both dolls are defeated, click on the ??? again to obtain the Bracelet.

• There are 6 Treasure Chest mimics in these locations:
  • Ground Level: In the F room and next to the chest spawn in NW G-8
  • Upper Level: Next to the chest spawn in SE H-9
  • Basement: In the E room and the room in NW G-8.
  • And in the lower basement at the bottom of the elevator (no map).
  • WHM spell barthundera seemed to cause these chests' death trap move to have only the poison or no effect when cast by a 75 WHM. The stun effect seemed to be no longer present. Data pool was about 10-12 chests fought.

• There are 3 Diremite Stalkers in the Basement in the hall running from I-7 to I-9.
• There are 4 Diremite Assaulters in the lower basement.

Pso'Xja I-7 entrance

The Carmine Chip can be farmed here as well.

This tower also has 4 Snow Lizards if the F-7 tower is overcamped.
