*Due to the long nature of this mission, it is recommended that you take precautions to ensure that you have received the [[Key Item|key items]]. This mission can take a while, as it requires travel to a lot of different places, some in the far corners of large and dangerous zones. Always ensure that when checking a headstone you receive the message that you obtained the [[Key Item|key item]].
'''*If you're too far away the game can give you the message, "You need to move closer to [[Key Item|key item]]" and at a quick glance this can appear the same as you acquiring it. Be sure to double check.'''
*There are two types of headstones, one type only gives the [[Key Item|key item]], others spawn [[NM|NMs]] that you must defeat before you may receive the [[Key Item|key item]].
*Several headstones are close to Cloister home points, it's recommended to grab those on the way if you haven't unlocked them yet.

=== Non-fights ===
*'''Dark Fragment:'''
**Obtained upon completion of [[Zilart Mission 4|The Temple of Uggalepih]] from Grav'iton.
*'''Earth Fragment:'''
**Head to (J-9) in [[Western Altepa Desert]], and enter the [[Quicksand Caves]]. Go to (K-6) and fall down the sandpit. Follow the pathway until you exit back out to [[Western Altepa Desert]]. Unity warp 125 [[King Uropygid]] will land you within this area cutting out the need to go through [[Quicksand Caves]].
***From the Unity Warp:
***Turn around and walk into the crevasse (this cannot be accessed from the outside but the Unity Warp puts you on top of the stone that you cannot normally walk onto.)
***Follow the path, turning right at the fork until you come to a plunger-looking statue. Press it down if it is up to continue.
***Go through the open door near the end of this path and follow it until you exit out at the square shaped crevasse.
***Turn left and enter the first open door. When you exit again the headstone is located in this section.
**Move in a southwesterly direction towards (H-8)/(H-9) to locate the [[Cermet Headstone]]. Examine it to receive the {{KI}}[[Earth fragment]].
*'''Water Fragment:'''
**''Note: the Geomagnetic-Fount for [[La Theine Plateau]] will let out in the same chasm as the [[Cermet Headstone]].''
**Go to [[La Theine Plateau]] and enter [[Ordelle's Caves]] around (F-7).
**Follow the path east to (I-6) and you'll switch to another map. (East according to map, so left from where you enter.)
**Continue down the tunnel to (G-8).
**From there, go east and enter the south tunnel around (H-9).
**Head up the stairs and south until you reach the hole that is at the southside of (H-11), closer to (H-12).
**Go east to another tunnel, taking special care not to fall off the cliffs, and head up.
**Once you get to about (I-6), go south.
**Continue on until (H-9) and you'll see a tunnel going west, the zone is not far ahead, bringing you back out to [[La Theine Plateau]].
**The [[Cermet Headstone]] is not too far ahead. Examine it to receive the {{KI}}[[Water fragment]].
*'''Ice Fragment:'''
**Make your way to the [[Cloister of Frost]] in the basement of [[Fei'Yin]]. The [[Cermet Headstone]] is in the back of the room. Examine it to receive the {{KI}}[[Ice fragment]].
***Fei'Yin Homepoint #2 is right outside the Cloister, if you already have it.
***A level 20+ Summoner can start [[Trial-Size Trial by Ice]] to be teleported to the Cloister. Don't forget to step outside and grab Fei'Yin Homepoint #2 for later use, especially if you are completing the Trial-Sized quest.

*'''Fire Fragment:'''
**'''Note''': The one way drops make starting from the [[Cloister of Flames]] or the [[Ifrit's Cauldron]] [[Homepoint]] (i.e. via [[Mini Fork of Fire]]) a longer trip that ends up passing the entrance from [[Yhoator Jungle]] and the [[Survival Guide]] on Map 4 anyway. Use [[Teleport-Yhoat]] or the [[Yhoator Jungle]] Survival Guide to enter [[Ifrit's Cauldron]] as instructed below.
**'''Note''': This is very long. If you have a confident [[White Mage]], allow them to go through [[Ifrit's Cauldron]] alone. Bring a total of three [[Ice Cluster|ice clusters]] to speed up the flame spouts along the way. In [[Yuhtunga Jungle]], you'll find a one-way drop (the reason you have to run through the Cauldron in the first place). Have your entire party wait there for the WHM (who should sub BLM for this). Once the WHM is through, the rest of the party can commence suicide using various mobs in the area. The WHM can then [[Tractor]] people over the ledge, and thus avoiding most of the hassle of applying [[Sneak]] and [[Invisible]] to people through the whole Cauldron. Alternately, you can just drag everyone through.
**Consider taking a [[Garnet]] with you on this leg of the mission, as you can trade it to the headstone to receive the [[Opo-opo Necklace]].
**Enter [[Ifrit's Cauldron]] from (G-6) in [[Yhoator Jungle]]. Alternatively take the [[Survival Guide]] warp if you've unlocked it to get to this entrance. Make your way to (H-8) and stick to the left wall. If you follow the wall, you'll ultimately make it out to the correct exit.
***Detailed instructions:
****When you enter, you'll be on Map 4. Head for (H-8) and you'll end up on Map 7.
****From Map 7, head for (D-12) to continue to Map 5.
****On Map 5, head for (J-8) to get to Map 2. There is a '''Flame Spout''' around (H-6)/(H-7). Either wait it out, or trade an [[Ice Cluster]]. Waiting it out is safer, but can take extra time.
****On Map 2, run to (E-7), and you'll be back on Map 7.
****On Map 7, make your way to (G-7) to enter Map 8.
****On Map 8, follow the tunnel to (C-7). This is the exit to [[Yuhtunga Jungle]]. There are two Flame Spouts on the way.
**Near the exit to [[Yuhtunga Jungle]], you may run across the [[Ash Dragon]]. Your party is likely not able to take it, so be careful. During daytime hours (06:00 to 18:00), it's only aggressive to sound. During night time, however, it is True Sound. Take care when passing it, as it will mostly likely spell a wipe for your party.
**Once outside, gather everyone up and head for the tunnel under the waterfall at (K-7). The headstone is located around (L-6)/(L-7). Check the [[Cermet Headstone]] to spawn two [[:Category:Opo-opo|Opo-opo]] [[NM|NMs]], [[Carthi]] and [[Tipha]]. They will both aggro, and cannot be [[Sleep|slept]]. Kill both and check the [[Cermet Headstone]] again to receive the {{KI}}[[Fire fragment]].
*'''Lightning Fragment:'''
**Head for [[Behemoth's Dominion]] and go to (G-9). Unity Warp Level 135 will be the fastest way to get here. Clear the area of mobs and check the headstone to spawn two [[:Category:Evil Weapon|Weapon]] NMs: [[Legendary Weapon]] and [[Ancient Weapon]]. Kill them both and check the [[Cermet Headstone]] again to receive the {{KI}}[[Lightning fragment]].
**It is possible to kill only one of the [[NM|NMs]], by using the [[Sneak]]-pull method. [[Sneak]] one member, pull one of the [[NM|NMs]] and wait for the other to de-pop. Kill the original and proceed. [[Ancient Weapon]] (WAR) is susceptible to [[Bind]] and [[Gravity]]. It can be killed solo with DOT and occasional nukes while kiting it around the [[King Behemoth]] spawn area. [[Ancient Weapon]] is not [[Aspir|aspirable]].
*'''Wind Fragment:'''
**Consider taking a [[Rain Lily]] with you on this part of the mission. Trading it to the headstone will earn you a [[Flagellant's Rope]].
**Start off for [[Cape Teriggan]], both the [[Home Point]] and Unity Warp 128 let out close to the [[Cermet Headstone]]. Head for (F-7) and locate the unmarked hidden tunnel (it is in the same general area as the tunnel to get to the [[Cloister of Gales]]). Go north until you come out into another open area, taking another hidden tunnel at (G-5). Follow it until (H-5), where the headstone is located.
**Check the headstone to pop a [[:Category:Fomor|Shadow]] [[NM]] named [[Axesarion the Wanderer]]. Kill him and check the [[Cermet Headstone]] again to receive the {{KI}}[[Wind fragment]].
*'''Light Fragment:'''
**Go to [[The Sanctuary of Zi'Tah]], around (J-9), Survival Guide/Outpost warp will get you closest. Follow the path north, and west when you come to the first open area, and then again to the north. Continue as far north as possible, and go west again. You'll find the headstone in the back at (I-7). This is the same area where [[Keeper of Halidom]] can spawn. Check the headstone to spawn a [[:Category:Doomed|Doomed]] [[NM]] named [[Doomed Pilgrims]]. This [[NM]] his fairly fast and hard, but should pose little trouble to a well balanced party of 65+. Defeat the [[NM]] and check the [[Cermet Headstone]] again to receive the {{KI}}[[Light fragment]].
**Come back to this headstone after completing [[Zilart Mission 7|ZM7: The Chamber of Oracles]] to receive a [[Bat Earring]].

*Upon obtaining the final fragment, you will receive the message, "You now have all 8 fragments of light!" and the mission will be complete.
