Walkthrough

Speak to Bki Tbujhja to begin the quest; she will request a flask of holy water.

  • Trade Bki Tbujhja the Holy Water and you will be asked to travel to The Eldieme Necropolis and to visit the tomb of a a great bard of yesteryear. Once there you are to purify the tomb and play the requiem. She returns the flask of holy water and sends you on your way.
    • (Optional) Speak to Malatigeat at the meadhouse for more information on this 'great bard of yesteryear'.
  • Travel to The Eldieme Necropolis via (F-5) in Batallia Downs and head for a room with five unbroken sarcophagi at D-4.
    • You will have to travel through Beaucedine Glacier to reach the barrow containing the proper entrance to the Necropolis complex.
    • If you have unlocked the Lycopodium (NPC) teleport service for Batallia Downs, trading one of the accepted flowers to the sparkling light (blank target) at (F-5) teleports the player to the elevated portion of the map.
    • The quickest way is to take the Voidwatch warp to Beaucedine Glacier.
  • Trade the flask of Holy Water to the sarcophagus to spawn three skeleton NMs. The sarcophagus that will spawn the NMs is random.
  • Defeat all three NMs that spawn and activate the sarcophagus that the Holy Water was traded to spawn the NMs. You will get a cutscene and receive the key item Star ring (tarnished).
    • If you have multiple people doing this quest, they can trade their holy water to the correct sarcophagus after the fight and they will get the cutscene and ring.
  • Return to Bki Tbujhja and receive your Choral Slippers.

Field Notes

The three NM skeletons that spawn are as follows:

  • Yum Kimil (BLM)
  • Dog Guardian
  • Owl Guardian

The two Guardian skeletons are roughly lvl 50-55, where as Yum Kimil is likely 60-65. They are all highly resistant to Lullaby, even with a 75 Bard. A standard geared White Mage at 75 was able to Repose the Guardians without any trouble at all for the full sleep duration. Two level 75 characters should have little difficulty defeating the NMs.
You do not need to be on Bard to activate the NMs or receive the cutscene.
