Desires of Emptiness

• Promyvion - Vahzl is five islands instead of four, and the monsters are stronger than in other areas of Promyvion. Like the other Promyvions, it's only tough if you or your party is aggroing everything in sight. At level 75, although many monsters will check as Easy Prey, nothing will be a high-enough level to aggro.

• Idle Wanderers, Woeful Weepers, and Livid Seethers are aggressive to 99, and deadly to level 75, so be careful around them. It should not be necessary to go near them for the mission.

• If you see any Apex monsters here, avoid them at all costs, even at level 99 they will likely be deadly to you.

*On the third, fourth, and fifth islands, you will have to rescue your companions from prisons before moving to the next floor. Search for Memory Flux gates before proceeding to the Memory Receptacles so that you do not leave the floor before freeing your companions. Each Memory Flux Gate will spawn a Notorious Monster. these are mandatory fights that are required to proceed with the mission. If you do not defeat all the three Memory Flux NMs and get the cutscenes at the Memory Flux Gates, you will not be able to cross to the Web of Recollections within the Spire of Vahzl.

• TLDR: Green Gate on the Promvyion Vahzl Map for floor 3/4/5 spawns NM. Kill it and examine the gate again afterwords before moving to the next floor. Do this on all three floors.

• Make sure to examine the Memory Flux after defeating each NM.

• Third island: The Memory Flux at (J-8) spawns Propagator (Gorger type), which can spawn multiple Offspring if given the chance; be prepared to deal with these adds. They will all die if the Propagator is killed.

• Fourth island: The Memory Flux at (M-6) spawns Solicitor (Craver type), which has a dangerous single-target attack and an AoE Poison attack that deals damage and gives a strong poison effect. It is advisable that jobs that cannot cure poison have a few antidotes. Also, if needed, have someone cast Gravity on the NM so healers can Cure without worrying about any threats.

• Fifth island: The Memory Flux at (D-6) spawns Ponderer (Thinker type with AOE Sleep so bring poison potions). The Ponderer can also absorb food and spell effects, so make sure your tank doesn't eat defense food when you're getting close to Ponderer. If it absorbs a Tavnazian Taco and Protect it is difficult to hurt with melee attacks.

• After you defeat each NM, check the Memory Flux a second time for a cutscene. Then heal up and search for the next Memory Receptacle.

• On the fifth island, you do not need to search for the Memory Receptacle. Proceed directly from the Memory Flux to the Web of Recollections within the Spire of Vahzl; the entrance is at (F-8).

• When you receive the cutscene at the Memory Flux, you gain the ability to warp directly to that Memory Flux from the gate in Pso'Xja. This allows you to bypass the lower floors in case you need to leave or are helping someone else with the mission later on.

• The NM at each Memory Flux will re-spawn if a player leaves Promyvion - Vahzl and returns, then clicks the Memory Flux again (while the mission is still active). This is not necessary and your party can wipe easily this way, because the NM will aggro any player who teleports inside. In the rare event that this does happen, the NM will de-spawn if left unclaimed for 3 minutes.

• Buffs will wear upon entry.
• Enter the Web of Recollections and be prepared to face three bosses.

• Procreator (Gorger)
• Cumulator (Craver)
• Agonizer (Thinker)

• You can choose which boss to fight first. One of them will join the fight when the one being fought has about 20% of HP left. The next boss will not attack if you kill the current boss you are fighting in one shot from above 20%. For example: weapon skill at 25% to kill it and the next boss will not attack.

• The only other way to get them to attack is to attack them first.
• If you attack Cumulator first, Procreator attacks next, Agonizer after that.
• If you attack Agonizer first, Cumulator attacks next, Procreator after that.
• If you attack Procreator first, Agonizer attacks next, Cumulator after that.
• It is simplest to remember that they will engage in alphabetical order.

• As with all Empty, their elements will be random. It is shown as a flame burning somewhere inside their bodies, colored to match their element.
• Two appropriately chosen -ja spells are more than enough to win the battle, even with a poorly geared BLM. (15/12/2013)
• The battle has a time limit of 30 minutes.
• You will receive 1500 experience for winning the fight.

• When the Spire battle is cleared, you will be warped inside of the (F-7) Nue Tower in Beaucedine Glacier where a cutscene between the three CoP Mission Tarutaru (Cherukiki, Kukki-Chebukki and Makki-Chebukki) and Nag'molada will play.
• Optional: Talk to the three Tarutaru (Leigon-Moigon, Potete and Torino-Samarino) at the (I-7) tower in Beaucedine Glacier. There will not be a cutscene from these three Tarutaru, nor will the mission log change. This is only 6 lines of dialogue.
• In order to complete the mission, talk to Cid in Bastok Metalworks for a cutscene. (NOTE: This will also start the next mission)
