Client: Gate Guard
Reward: None
Skippable: No
Items Needed: Drops of Amnio
First talk to the Gate Guard to pick up this mission. Once you have it log, head over to Chateau d'Oraguille and talk to Halver. He'll tell you that you need a key item in the Quicksand or at the very least direct you to the Quicksand as your next destination. Now grab a party of say about level 66+ together before heading out.
Make your way to G-9 of Eastern Altepa Desert and enter the Quicksand from there. Once inside Quicksand just head west to D-9 at the end of the hallway and turn south or to your left into a room where there's a sandpit at the end at about E-11. Now drop down the sandpit. Follow the passsageway until you come to sort of a fork in the road. Take the one that is to your first left as the other one will lead you out to zone of the Desert. You should seen arrive at Fountain of Kings. Best to camp in the tunnel. At this point you might want to clear the areas of cactuars and anticas before popping the NMs for the fight.
When you ready, sneak the person who will pop and pull the NMs. You will be facing two Kraken NMs. They won't aggro you if you have sneak on. You only need to kill one of then and let the other one despawn. But that will only work if you let one despawn before you kill the first one. Or you can just kill both. Which ever method works for you. Use a long range pull and pull one of the Kraken. It doesn't really matter which one you pull. Once you kill the first NM Kraken, if the other NM Kraken hasn't despawn yet then you'll have to pull that one and kill it as well because the depop trick only works if one depopped before the other one is killed. After killing both Kraken or just one Kraken and letting the other depopped, sneak everyone again and examine the ??? mark again to get the key item, Drops of Amnio.
Now it's time to head back to Halver with the key item. Halver will then tell you to come back later. Which is after 9AM PST of next day or after 9AM PST if you happen to return to Halver earlier in the morning on the same day. Zone into North San D'Oria to get the final cut scene to complete this mission.
