Walkthrough[edit]

  • After the cut scene with Domina Shantotto in Qufim Island, you will be given 6 seals to attach to at least 3 out of the 6 protocrystals. The 6 cloisters where the protocrystals are located are spread throughout Vana'diel.
  • Upon examining a protocrystal, an unseen power stymies your efforts to attach the Domina's seal.
  • Examine the protocrystal again and you will be offered entrance to a battlefield.
    • After each battle you must check the Protocrystal again to complete the mission!
    • The prime avatars for this mission are considerably weaker than the normal ones and can be easily defeated solo at around level 75+ by any job. Some considerably earlier than others. You cannot use Trust magic inside.
    • Buffs will wear upon entering, including TP and magical Reraise (not enchantment Reraise).
    • PUP Automaton will be deactivated upon entry and recast timer will not reset.
    • Finishing Moves will not wear off, thus a dancer can obtain 1-5 of them with the use of No Foot Rise.
    • Unlike the regular prime avatar fights, victory leaves you at the protocrystal's location.
    • The avatars can not be defeated until they have used or tried to use their 2-Hour abilities five times in total (normally triggered at 80%, 60%, 40%, 20%, and 1% HP remaining).
    • The last remaining HP cannot be depleted until the 5th use/attempt no matter what.
    • The avatars (other than Ramuh) can be stunned, and stunned attempts still apply towards the count.
    • 400 experience points are awarded after each fight.
  • Examine the protocrystal again after winning each battle to attach the Domina's seal and obtain a counterseal.
    • If you win the battle but leave the area before obtaining the counterseal, the fight does not have to be repeated to be able to attach the Domina's seal.
  • After you have won at least three battlefields and received three counterseals, return to the Trodden Snow in Qufim Island for a cut scene.
    • A reward of 3,000, 10,000, 30,000, or 50,000 gil is awarded for attaching three, four, five, or six seals respectively.
