Walkthrough

After speaking with Cid to begin the mission, head to Tavnazian Safehold - Top Floor (K-10) and speak with Despachiaire there. You may need to speak with him multiple times as he offers more than one cutscene at this point.

Southern Legend

Speak with Perih Vashai at (K-7) in Windurst Woods

Partners Without Fame

Travel to (H-11) on Purgonorgo Isle in Bibiki Bay and speak with the ??? Warmachine for a cutscene, then head to (E-5) in Windurst Walls and speak with Yoran-Oran.

A Century of Hardship

Travel to Oldton Movalpolos and zone in for a cutscene. The next step is the 60 capped BC at Mine Shaft #2716 and there are several options to get to the BC entrance.
- Trade a Snow Lily to Tarnotik at (K-10) in Oldton Movalpolos and he will warp you there.
- Gamble with Twinkbrix at (E-13) in Oldton Movalpolos until you win the Key Item: Shaft 2716 operating lever, then pay him 2000 more gil to warp you there.
- The old fashioned (super-long) way of walking through Newton Movalpolos and operating the furnace hatches.

Note: If you chose the second option, take caution not to enter the ENM instead of the mission battlefield. You will need to return here again for this mission and you must wait 5 days before obtaining another Shaft 2716 operating lever.

After you have made your way to Mine Shaft #2716 rest up and go over strategies. When you are ready, click on the Mine Shaft Entrance and enter the battlefield "A Century of Hardship". Buffs will wear when you enter so make sure to buff while inside the battlefield.

Boss: Chekochuk (BLM), Trikotrak (RDM), Swipostik (THF), Movamuq (WHM), and Bugbby (WAR)

All of the Moblins can call Bugbby to their aid at anytime during the fight so whoever is kiting/tanking Bugbby should be prepared to pull hate back. All of the Moblins and Bugbby can also use their respective job's 2 Hour Ability. Sleep is unreliable but Silence works well. Try to Silence the mages and pick them off one at a time. If you can't keep Silence on them all reliably, focus on Silencing the BLM first. If you manage to get them to Sleep and happen to be fighting the WHM, Benediction will wake the rest of them up.

Departures

After clearing the BC, speak with Cid in the Metalworks, then head to Newton Movalpolos and farm a Gold Key for everyone in your party. They drop from the Moblins near the Oldton Movalpolos zone.
Head to Mine Shaft #2716 (see above for methods of getting there) and trade the Gold Key to the shaft entrance to get a cutscene.
Return to Cid once again to finish this path.

If you have completed the other 2 paths, Cid will give an additonal cutscene and you can move on to the next Chapter: For Whom the Verse is Sung
