Walkthrough[edit]

  • Trading 6 (3 Light/Dark crystals on 11/29/2015) crystals, or completing Bat Hunt 9 times probably twice, will give the necessary rank points for this mission.
  • After accepting the mission, enter the Great Hall of Chateau d'Oraguille, and go to the king for a cutscene.
  • After the cutscene, talk to Rahal in the Royal Knights' Quarters to receive a temporary key item Crystal dowser.
  • Before heading out check if you have already an Prelate Key in your inventory storage, bring it along to open a door. It's a ex/rare item so you can only hold one.
    • Optional: Talk to Curilla for additional dialogue.
  • Travel to the Temple of Uggalepih. A level 72+ character is safe from aggro from the weak mobs.
  • Take Teleport-Yhoat and make your way to the main entrance of the temple (J-12).
  • From the Temple (map 1), zone at F-5 to the Jungle. Head straight, you'll see a flight of stairs in front of you leading down, don't go down them but instead turn left and then instantly left again and you will zone into another part of the Temple (map 2). After zoning, follow the right wall until you pass by a wooden gate. Shortly after you pass this, the path will split. Take the left path and clear the area.
  • Here you will have to kill the Temple Guardian in order to continue on.
  • After the guardian is defeated, continue past that door that will now open and advance up either of the two stairs that are to the west and east sides of the room. Watch out for Manipulator who usually patrols the stairs. Use the Prelate Key from a Tonberry Stabber, Tonberry Chopper, or a Tonberry Slasher to open the door and continue onto map 4. Head south and take the left path until you see 4 doors on the right. Door 1 is the furthest down, Door 4 is the first door you will see.
    • It is not necessary to farm the Prelate Key. Instead you can use any magic spell to aggro a mob through the Door. Once the engaged mob gets near the door, it will open. However, it may take a long time until a Hover Tank gets near enough to magic-aggro.
    • It's also possible to scroll through targets and land on one of the mobs behind the door. It could be a tonberry or the Hover Tank. Once you've locked on to it, all you really need now is to wait for it to move straight behind the door and you will be able to pull it, thus opening the door. Beware of tonberry links.
    • Notice, this will only work with the eastern door. If you pull a mob to the western door it will just walk through the door without opening it.
    • don't know when it was implemented, but it is no longer necessary to magic-aggro mobs to get the doors to open. you only need one prelate key to get to the 4 doors, and they all open when you examine them. this was probably done so that a level 99 character could solo the mission and the prelate key is rare-ex so one person would not be able to have enough keys to open all the doors. i just did this mission 9/21/2014. (I was able to aggro a tonberry to open the door. What I did was target a tonberry and wait for it to move in front of the door. Then I turned my camera angle so that it was parallel with the door which allowed me to use Bio on it. 9-10-16)
  • Clear the hallway of tonberries and magic jugs. Now enter Doors 1, 3, and 4 and inspect the ??? for a key item.
    • Rooms 1 and 4 have two ??? - be sure to get the correct one which is located on the shelves to the right when entering the room. Everyone needs 3 "Piece of a Broken Key" key items before continuing.
  • Once everyone is ready, have someone inspect Door 2. Once this door is inspected, 2 Doll NM will spawn, Nio-Hum and Nio-A.
  • Nio-A and Nio-Hum are warriors and will use Mighty Strikes.
  • They will not sleep, so have a second tank keep Nio-A busy while everyone else concentrates on Nio-Hum. Mages should have Barfira up in case the dolls Meltdown.
  • The NMs are not immune to Break.
  • The NMs are immune to Stun.
  • The NMs have extremely high magic damage reduction.
  • You may spawn the NMs with Sneak active and pull only one with a ranged attack, a job ability such as Provoke or simply approach one of the dolls carefully without sneak to agro it (they will not link, similar to the two krakens in Coming of Age). Due to the narrow hallway and location of where they spawn, ranged attack is recommended, as you may have problems sighting the mob to use the job ability. You may pull either Nio-A or Nio-Hum and wait for to the other to despawn (don't kill too quickly). Only one NM needs to be defeated.

(see testimonials)

  • Following the fight, everyone should inspect Door 2 for a cutscene.
  • If anyone in the group did not have the 3 pieces of the broken key, they can get them after the fight and re-inspect the door. The dolls will not re-spawn.
  • Once you see the text "You could not find Lightbringer here. Your investigation is over." the mission is complete.
  • Return to Chateau d'Oraguille and click on the door of the Great Hall for a cut scene with King Destin and your reward.
  • Speak with Trion, Pieuje for additional cut scenes.
