Walkthrough

• Talk to Oggbi in Port Bastok inside the Steaming Sheep Restaurant located at (E-6) as a MNK level 40+.
  • Home Point #3 is closest.
  • Note: If you have hand-to-hand skill above 250 he will offer you the Knuckles of Trials for the quest The Walls of Your Mind first. Talk to him again for the right quest.
• Once flagged, you can complete the quest on any high-level job, not just monk.
• Obtain a Pickaxe (you can buy one from Numa (E-7) in Port Bastok for about 190 gil).
• Head to Gusgen Mines and look for a ??? in the lowest level around G-7.

• Go due north across the first map and down the stairs. Use the western door to enter the second map.
• Go to the room in the northwest corner and follow the corridor that runs on the west side from this room to the next room.
• Take the passage in the NW corner, which is in the SW corner of (F-5). Follow it down.
• Go to the second room. The ??? is located on the left side of the room in the NW corner.

• Use a pickaxe there and it will trigger the Wandering Ghost to spawn.
  • There is a bug that can sometimes prevent the NM from spawning, instead giving you the message "You cannot even dig it open with a pickaxe". If that happens and the quest is properly flagged (check your quest log), log out and back in and try again.
  • If that does not help, disable Windower / Ashita if you're using them.
  • It's possible that you'll get that message again but the NM spawns anyway. The quest can still be properly completed if that happens.
• Defeat it and it will drop the Miner's Pendant (make sure to Cast Lots on it if doing it with others).
• Return to Port Bastok and trade it to Oggbi for your reward.
