Client: Gate Guard
Reward: None
Skippable: No
Items Needed: Drops of Amnio
After picking up the mission from the Gate Guard, head to Chateau d'Oraguille to get a cutscene. You'll now require to do the first part which is soloable to get 2 key items from a ??? marked in couple of locations.
1. Valley of Sorrows: zone into the Valley through the northern entrance and not the beach one and go to I-8 to find a ??? there. Examine it to get key item, Statue of Titan.
2. Xarcabard: at H-7 within a bunch of trees there should be a ??? there. Examine it to get key item, Statue of Garuda.
Now the last one is in Battalia Island at J-11 but this one will produce two NMs to fight so you'll need to gather an alliance for it. You can only reach this island by going through Eldeime Necropolis.
Head out to Batallia Downs and go to I-10 entrance to Eldieme Necropolis. Once inside, put sneak on. Now head to J-8 with your alliance. Then go South to I-9. Have the alliance go to H-9 where they should be standing in front of Shiva's Gate, while one member stay at I-9, . If Shiva gate is in fact open, walk inside and turn immediately south. This is Titan's Gate, and it should be closed. If Shiva's Gate is not open, the person at I-9 must then open it.
The person still standing at I-9 must proceed north into I-8. Put invisible on and then proceed to H-8. There is a Bomb type mob here, who detects by sight and magic, so do not cast anything around him, and make sure you are invisible before going to H-8. Pass by the bomb into another small room, and you will see a switch. Take invisible off, and then hit the switch. Now Shiva's Gate will open, if it was previously closed.
Have alliance at H-9 walk through and face South toward Titan's Gate, then hit the switch again, so that Shiva's Gate closes, and Titan's Gate opens. If Shiva's Gate is already open, you only have to hit the switch once to make Titan's Gate open.
Now the person near the switch needs to put invisible back on, and head down to H-9, near Shiva's Gate. Meanwhile the alliance will proceed to G-9. In front of them will be a room with 9 Grave Pits in it, along with a few mobs. Now to let one person in the alliance through, proceed north to G-8 in a small room. There is another switch you must hit to open and close the doors again, letting person who was at the first switch to make his/her back back to join the alliance.
Once everyone is together again, go back to G-9 with the 9 Grave Pits, go directly to the grave pit in the middle, and stand in the middle of it. You will then fall to a cave-like area, and you will be on a different map at L-12. Head East into another map and you will now appear at G-7. Finally proceed to J-9 and exit out into Batallia Downs again.
This time you will appear at J-11 on the island. Ahtu NM may be here for The Setting Sun quest. Kill it if it's there to clear the area. There are two ??? here. One is for the Dragoon AF quest and the other is for the mission you are doing. The ??? that you want is to the right of the entrance to the island. You'll be fighting two NM birds, Suparna (BRD type), and Suparna Fledgling (WHM type). When you pop them they will link and attack whomever is the person that will pop them.
The strategy to use is this. At this point you should have at least 2 parties of 66+ or at least one party of 75. Have everyone stand at the other end of the island away from any possible aggro from the NM. Now the person who will pop the NM will need to pop and run and zone into Eldeime Necropolis. Person with flee is a good choice. Once he/she pop the NMs, run or flee into Eldeime Necropolis. The birds should follow that person but once he/she zoned, the birds should be making their way back to the original ??? point. Now at the point the link should be broken as they are making their way back to the ???. Have one person within the alliance pull one of the birds back to the alliance standing on the other side. Now just gang up and kill that bird. The person that zone into Eldeime Necropolis should come back and help fight after zoning. Kill one bird then kill the other bird. Although you can just kill one and let the other one depop. Once the birds are dead, examine the ??? again to get the third key item.
Now just head back to Chateau d'Oraguille to finish the mission. Talk to Halver, King or Prince if you need to in order to finish the mission.
