Walkthrough

• You will now have to kill three NMs. They can be done in any order and all are uncapped.

Bibiki Bay

• Head to Bibiki Bay and find the ??? at F-6 inside a cave.
• Buff up and select the ??? to spawn a NM Sea Monk named Dalham.

• Dalham seems to be about level 72, judging from how it hits and takes damage from local pets.
• The number of attacks this monster gets each round increases as his HP drops.
  • He will start the fight with normal attack speed, only hitting once per round.
  • As his HP drops to about 70% a "2-Hour" animation will trigger and he will begin attacking twice per round.
  • At about 40% he will use the "2 Hour" animation again, and begin attacking 3 times per round.
  • He will use it once more around 10~15%, attacking at near Hundred Fists speed.
• Builds resistance to Bind and Gravity extremely quickly.
• Cannot be slept.

• Has an Additional Effect: Water damage for about 21~ damage on a THF75.
• After it is dead click the ??? again for a cutscene.

Carpenters' Landing

• Head to Jugner Forest (J-8) and enter Carpenters' Landing. The ??? is at I-9 on the edge of the water to the northwest of the docks.
• Buff up and select the ??? to spawn a NM Cryptonberry Executor (NIN)
  • After you pop the Cryptonberry Executor pull him to the dock at the South Landing (J-10) before doing any damage and you will gain no Enmity from the Cryptonberry Assassins when they pop at the ???. The Cryptonberry Assassins will take approximately 2-4 minutes to despawn.
• Once the NIN takes any damage, three Cryptonberry Assassins (BLM, SMN, THF) will spawn at the ???.
• The Tonberries helpers are very resistant to sleep.
• If you are far enough away from the ??? when you first do damage to the Cryptonberry Executor you can avoid getting any Enmity from the Cryptonberry Assassins.
• The Executor will use Mijin Gakure unless you kill it first; this can do up to 4000 damage each.
• The Assassins use Manafont, Astral Flow and Perfect Dodge.
• The NMs all /say something when they use their 2h.
  • The Executor says "Through this we ssseek our just reward..."
  • The Assassins say, "...Take up thy lanternsss. The truth we shall illuminate."
• Mijin Gakure can also be wasted by a person kiting it and staying out of range. The NIN will probably use Mijin Gakure around 3 minutes after he spawns Assassins.
• All Cryptonberry Assassins appear to despawn after Cryptonberry Executor uses Mijin Gakure, provided the NM is pulled far enough away (see below) and the Cryptonberry Assassins do not aggro.

• The SMN has a random elemental pet. It will often use the Astral Flow of the same element, so you can try that Barspell. Its Astral Flow does about 800 damage to a level 75 player unresisted. The pet can be slept/reposed.
  • Note, the SMN Cryptonberry can summon TWO pets at once, so ignore his elemental, and be careful as he gets low on HP.
• The Executor has about 5000 HP.

• After the Tonberries are dead click the ??? again for a cutscene.

Make sure you do not defeat the Cryptonberry Executor until all 3 Cryptonberry Assassins despawn.

If you kill the Cryptonberry Executor while the Cryptonberry Assassins are still up, talking to the ??? will just result in a message a tree has fallen here, and you will have to zone and start over.

Misareaux Coast

• Head to Misareaux Coast and check a Storage Compartment in the shed at E-7 to spawn the NM bugard Boggelmann.

• Remember to Dispel its Defense Boost special (Scutum).
• It has about 7600 HP, and will use Blood Weapon at low health.
• Special Attack : Hungry Crunch -> Drain + Dispel Food + Drains TP.
• Bloody bolts will activate infrequently for little HP gain.

• After it is dead click the Storage Compartment again for a cutscene and a key item "Vessel of Light".

Finishing the Mission

• Talk to Cid in the Metalworks (H-8) for a cutscene.
• Talk to Sueleen in the Sealion's Den (H-6) for a cutscene.
