Walkthrough

Talk to Engelhart at Bastok Markets (S) (K-10).
- You will need to zone and wait until the game day changes (0:00) in order to receive this quest.
Talk to Pagdako at Bastok Markets (S) (H-9).
Return to Present Time Vana'diel and go talk to Iron Eater (J-8) at the Metalworks in front of the "President's Office." Ensure that Iron Eater gives you dialogue related to this quest.
Return to the past and go back to Bastok Markets (S) and speak with Engelhart at (K-10). Note: Engelhart is not present when a Campaign Battle is happening inside Bastok Markets (S).
Make your way to Grauberg (S), and inside a cave at the NW corner of (I-6) there's a ???. Check it for cutscene.
- The entrance to the cave is at the SW corner of (I-5). Be aware that you will need Sneak and Invis here, as there may be Chigoes present.
- The Grauberg (S) Survival Guide is closest. Otherwise, riding a Chocobo from Pashhow Marshlands (S), or at the very least Bastok Markets (S), will make the trek safer as there are Peiste near the entrance to the cave.
- You can also ride a Mount to safely get to the cave.
After the cutscene, return to Bastok Markets (S) and speak with Engelhart (K-10) once again. (For Optional extra dialogue, talk to Pagdako before talking to Engelhart.)
Talk to Gentle Tiger (H-6) in front of the Metalworks (S). Note: If you are currently on the Scholar AF quest, On Sabbatical, you will be unable to get this cutscene until you complete that quest.
Talk to Engelhart (K-10) again for your last cutscene, and your reward of 10,000 gil.
