Walkthrough

  • Talk to Diordinne at (I-6) in Garlaige Citadel (S) on the first map for a cutscene.
  • After the cutscene you will receive the key item: (Number Eight Shelter Key)
    • The quest will appear in your log after receiving the key item.
  • Head to (H-9) on map 2 (past the mousse, not where the Yagudo are) and examine the Wooden Crates for a cutscene.
  • Have the party leader check the Wooden Crates again to enter an assault-type battle.
    • Buffs are retained upon entry. TP is not retained.
    • You have thirty minutes to defeat the Orcish Turret located at (H-10) to win.
    • Experience points are lost upon death in this battlefield.
    • Only players with the Number Eight Shelter Key or having previously completed the quest may enter this battlefield.
    • If you fail to complete the objective, you will have to get a new Number Eight Shelter Key from Diordinne.
      • You will have to talk to him and then wait until the next Vana'diel day.
    • Any Reraise (Status Effect) is lost upon wipe and ejection from the battlefield.
  • Upon defeating the battlefield, you will be returned to the Wooden Crates after a lengthy cut scene.
  • Return to Rholont in Southern San d'Oria (S) between 18:00-0:00 to receive the final cutscene.
    • A very brief cutscene with Rholont will take place the first time you return to him outside the timeframe.

Battlefield Details

  • You will be transported to Ghoyu's Reverie for this battle.
    • The battlefield is a large multi-level area with the Orcish Turret at the far end from where you enter.
      • Easiest path we have found is to hug the east wall up the first ramp, then always stick to the west wall until you drop down to the Turret.
    • You may enter if Garlaige Citadel (S) is under Beastmen control.


Enemies

  • All enemies are True Sight.
  • All enemies are immune to Sleep, Repose, Lullaby, Bind, and Silence.
  • All enemies may link with each other.
    • Aggro/Link Radius is very large at around 6-7'.
    • Take caution and be prepared to fight.
  • Enemies within the battlefield have extremely week defense and low evasion.
  • Enemies within the battlefield have extremely high accuracy and attack.
  • Orcish Hexspinners can cast all Elemental Tier 3 -Ga spells as well as Sleepga.
  • Orcish Footsoldiers have a high rate of Double Attack
  • The Orcish Turret
    • Surrounded by 3 Orcish Footsoldiers and 3 Orcish Hexspinners.
    • The turret's only form of attack or defense is that it will periodically spawn a poison grenade. It's possible to cast spells or fire ranged attacks outside the blast radius, however melee attackers will be exposed.
    • If by any chance you stop attacking the turret and leave it alone it will begin to regenerate health. Be sure to leave a DoT effect to prevent this from happening.
  • Virulent Flask
    • Destroying the flasks causes the Orcs guarding the Orcish Turret to leave the defense of the turret and repair them.
    • Destroying several flasks on the way to the Orcish Turret will greatly reduce the danger of wiping while clearing its sentries.
    • Virulent Flasks will also give poison effect. They have low health and can be easily destroyed safely with a ranged attack or by timing a melee charge.
    • Has a high Magic Defense.


Tips

  • If you fail you must return to Diordinne to get a new key, speak to him 3 times (till he keeps repeating about Jeuno) then wait till midnight game day and talk to him again, he will grant you a new key item to enter zone. All must have item to enter if you are in a party, it will not let party in if someone does NOT have it.
  • The battlefield is quite easy, and can be easily duo'd/trio'd or a hard solo as long as you have Poisona or antidotes.
  • The Turret seemed to take half damage from Blizzard spells.
  • If you decide to not kill the flasks along the way and just go for the guards at the end, pull the Footsoldiers first when you are sure you can get a clean pull. Kill the 3 Footsoldiers, then go after the Hexspinners as they will stand in place and cast, almost always linking everything else.
  • As a BLM/WHM with decent gear, Burst II nearly always one-shotted a goblin or Footsoldier, but only sometimes a Hexspinner. Be prepared to drop another quick nuke on a Hexspinner. Freeze II was also effective.
  • Puppetmaster using Spiritreaver automaton set up for power nuking can one-shot any of the monsters in the area using Blizzard IV. Hexaspinners have a chance at surviving every once in a while.
