The Mithra and the Crystal Zungutt Rabao (F-6)

Walkthrough

  • Go to Rabao (Home Point #2) and talk to Maryoh Comyujah, who's standing in front of the windmill at G-7. She will ask you to do something for her.
  • Travel to D-12 in Western Altepa Desert and head into Quicksand Caves (4).
  • There are a few options to navigate through Quicksand Caves, with your objective to reach I-8 in Quicksand Caves map 7. To get there, you will pass through map 4.
    • The fastest way to reach K-8 is via Proto-Waypoint to Quicksand Caves if you registered it during the quest Further Founts.
    • Otherwise, warp to Quicksand Caves Home Point #1, navigate through the hidden parts of the map to H-4, then zone out to Western Altepa. After exiting Quicksand Caves, drop from the ledge and climb out of the pit that you are currently in, up to the ground level of the desert. This saves the time spent running to D-12 from Rabao.
      • Head to an unmapped pathway at the canyon walls in Western Altepa Desert at the SW corner of D-11, which will lead you to an open unmarked area with a trench and an entrance to Quicksand Caves. The entrance to trench is on north end, if you go off the cliff you can go through the canyon walls again as before. From here just go around the corner and up the small staircase.
      • Once inside, follow the right wall to K-8 and stand on the second pressure plate to open the eastern door.
        • The weight sensor requires 1 Galka, 3 Tarutaru, or 2 of any other combination to trigger. Alternatively, any single character with a Key ItemLoadstone can enter.
      • Go around either corner to the only weight sensorat G-8 and through.
      • Now just fall down into the pit at I-8.
      • Touch the ??? on a pillar right where you landed at I-8 and select Yes to spawn the Ancient Vessel (See testimonials for further notes.)
      • Once the Ancient Vessel is killed, inspect the ??? again to dig out the Key ItemScrap of Papyrus.
        • If you zone after killing the Ancient Vessel without obtaining the Key ItemScrap of Papyrus, you must redo the fight to obtain the Key ItemScrap of Papyrus.
        • If someone has recently completed this, or you fail and come right back, you may get a "You sense faint traces of magic force" error. There will be a delay before you can fight it again.
  • Return it to Maryoh Comyujah in Rabao to obtain a Key ItemCerulean Crystal.
    • Optional : Go to Norg and speak to Gilgamesh.
      • This is a standard interaction, not a cutscene. Gilgamesh - "Arrrg, so that be the Key ItemCerulean Crystal that we've been searchin' fer. It looks like you had a hell of a time tryin' t'get yer hands on it. But the real hell is yet t'come. Crystal Warriors... floating islamds... It may all seem crazy, but don't let that get in yer way. Yer Vana'diel's only hope."
  • Head back to the Hall of the Gods, touch the sealed gate, and watch the cutscene.
  • Go down the hallway and examine the Shimmering Circle for the last cutscene.
