Walkthrough

Only one Ward Warden / Desert Rain / Crimson Carpet quest can be completed per Vana'dielian day, regardless of Abyssea area.

  • Speak to the Resistance Sapper (Vunkerl) at (I-9) (Veridical Conflux #00) and to begin the quest.
  • A spot on the map will be marked with a Target marker. This is your destination.
  • Speak to the Chocobo Tamer (Vunkerl) located near the Resistance Sapper to purchase supplies and begin the escort.
    • Obtain a minimum of 6 Chocobo Blinkers; use these on the chocobo by trading them from your inventory. This will limit its field of vision to what is directly in front of it, making it very simple to guide around monsters.
    • Blinkers last around one Earth Minute. You will see a message in the log when they wear off.
    • The chocobo's HP gradually decreases during the quest. It is important to be quick with this quest.
  • Guide the chocobo to the Repair Trunk located at (F-8) avoiding all aggro. You will receive a message when the chocobo is close enough and can be loaded.
    • If a monster is in line-of-sight of a chocobo, it will run back to the last safe spot without monsters.
    • You will know it is running if it says "Kweh!?" in the log.
    • If it begins to run, quickly run back to it and interact for it to stop.
  • Guide the chocobo to the large Repair Trunk located at (H-9) avoiding all aggro.
    • Recommended path: On the way to the trunk: travel the north path past the Marids and then Smilodons, using the cliffs to drop down as shortcuts while following the south wall. On the way back: travel past the Aestutars, pausing your chocobo to take some out while hugging the left wall. You will also need to take out a lot of bats and probably Lord Varney before getting back to the Tamer.
    • If a monster is in line-of-sight of a chocobo, it will run back to the last safe spot without monsters.
  • Click on the large Repair Trunk to gather supplies, then click on the chocobo to load the supplies.
    • Selecting Depart will prevent more supplies from being loaded, and will continue on with the escort.
    • If you are completing this quest just to complete it, only load one supply. More will slow down the chocobo.
  • Guide the chocobo back to the Chocobo Tamer (Vunkerl), and speak to them to complete the escort.
  • Talk to the Resistance Sapper (Vunkerl) once again to complete the quest and to receive your reward
