Walkthrough

  • Examine the blue glowing ??? near the Veridical Conflux in Grauberg (S) to spawn Cetus.
    • The correct ??? is NE of the Veridical Conflux and not the one right beside it.
    • Note: Cetus gains Dread Spikes after Aetheric Pull, so beware if you're a returning player using older gear.
  • Re-examine the ??? for a cutscene.
  • Re-enter Walk of Echoes for a cutscene by clicking on the ??? beside the Veridical Conflux.
  • Note: If you brought some sort of warp as mentioned in the previous mission, warp back into town.

Notes

  • This fight is intended for players that are 99. If you attempt this fight below 99 you may die.
    • A solo player with Trusts can complete this in the early level 90s with some difficulty.
  • In the event you wipe, you will no longer be able to go back and re-enter by clicking the ??? beside a Cavernous Maw. You will need to walk to Grauberg (S) manually.
  • To make your way back to the ???, just head to (F-5) (G/H-6 is a one way drop, so you need to go the longer way).
  • To get the last cutscene, you must be on a Wings of the Goddess mission where Lilisette is available.
