The Sixth Ministry

• Trade 4 elemental crystals or 2 light/dark crystals to unlock this mission.
• After accepting the mission from a Gate Guard, speak to Tosuka-Porika at the Optistery in Northern Windurst Waters (G-8) for a cutscene. He will give you the Optistery Ring (temporary key item). NPCs inside both buildings of the Opistery have additional dialogue.

• Travel to Toraimarai Canal, Map 2 (G-8). There is a large room with 4 Hinge Oils accompanied by few bats. The bats are aggressive towards level 99 characters and the oils will link, if within range.
  • Using the Home Point tele will place you in front of the Full Moon Fountain entrance on the 1st map, where you can make your way to exit C leading to the 2nd map.
    • Note: work your way east, towards J-9 (exit C) to get to the proper place on map 2
  • Entering the canals from Windurst Walls will also place you a short distance away so it really doesn't matter which way you take.
• The re-spawn time for the Hinge Oils is 16 minutes. All 4 must be defeated in order for you to enter the Animastery through the Marble Door on the far side of the room, up a staircase at (H-8). If even one of the oils re-spawn before you click the Marble Door, it will be "locked" until all oils are defeated again.

• They have a very nasty, but short-range (less than 10'), AoE Fluid Spread that can tear through mages.
• They are susceptible to Bind and Gravity, but immune to Sleep.

• Inside the room, examine the "Tome of Magic".

• The stack of books that you have to examine for the mission is on the floor, to the left of the Marble Door from which you entered. The other Tomes of Magic on the walls holds some interesting information, but are not part of the mission. You will know you have the right "Tome of Magic" when a cutscene starts.
  • The cutscene involves the Star Sibyl.
• Optional: You can read the other tomes for some information about the Horutoto ruins. Note that after the mission is complete, you can never enter this room again.
  • The door to the east leads to an ordinary platform with no special abilities.
  • You can go back and forth through the east and south doors at will as long as your don't use the teleport on the platform from the south door.

• After the cutscene, you can exit through the Marble Door on the South end of the room. This will take you to the first floor teleport of Heavens Tower in Windurst.
• Head back to the Optistery and speak with Tosuka-Porika to finish the mission and to receive the key item Blank Book of the Gods.
