Walkthrough

Note: In order to start this quest, you must first be on the Crossroads of Time Mission (obtained after completing A Nation on the Brink).

  • You must zone and wait one game day after completing In a Haze of Glory in order to start this quest.
  • Speak to Rholont (E-7) in Southern San d'Oria (S).
    • May have to speak to Rholont more than once to trigger cut scene
  • Gather the following three key items:
  • Speak to Rholont to receive the Key Item Biscuit a la Rholont.
    • May have to speak to Rholont more than once to trigger cut scene
  • Go to Jugner Forest (S) and examine the Felled Trees at (G-7).
  • Go to Vunkerl Inlet (S), you will have to examine two Toppled Cressets in this precise order:
    • Campaign Warp is closer than Survival Guide.
  • First examine the Toppled Cresset at (I-8) for a short cutscene leading you west.
  • Then examine the second Toppled Cresset at (F-9)/(F-8) for another short cutscene leading you south.
  • Examine the Underbrush at (F-13) for a third cutscene. Examine it again to spawn Madthrasher Zradbodd.
    • Madthrasher Zradbodd is an Orc BLM who has a large amount of Fastcast. He likes to spam Tier IV elemental and tier III elemental -ga spells, as well as Sleepga and Dispellga.
    • Having a Blue Mage to stun the area of effect spells is very handy.
  • After defeating Madthrasher Zradbodd, check the Underbrush for a message telling you to go to Pashhow Marshlands (S).
    • You will have to defeat the NM again if you zone without this message.
  • Go to Pashhow Marshlands (S) at (G-6) and examine the Shimmering Pondweed for a cutscene that completes the quest.
    • The spot you are looking for within (G-6) will be in the northwest corner of the grid.
      • Using the Campaign teleport will most likely be your fastest way here.
      • The next closest method is teleporting to the Survival Guide in Rolanberry Fields (S), which will put you right at the top zone line for Pashhow Marshlands (S).
