NOTE: If you are having difficulties flagging this quest, it might just not appear as flagged in your quest log.
Carry on by skipping the Walahra Temple cutscene as well as the first cutscene with Totoroon and see if you can progress when trading a Timeworn Talisman and food item.

Walkthrough

  • Not Yuyuroon, who is located almost directly in front of Yoyoroon but on the lower level.
  • Talismans obtained prior to starting this quest can be used.
  • Shades may be found west of the Dvucca Isle Staging Point, around (G-10).
  • Shades may also be found near the Survival Guide for Caedarva Mire.
  • Trade the Timeworn Talisman and a Sutlac icon.png Sutlac, Irmik Helvasi icon.png Irmik Helvasi, or even both to Yoyoroon in Nashmau. There is a chance that his appraisal of the item will fail. Trading both at once along with the talisman gives the highest chance for success.
  • The food can be purchased from Fayeewah and Yafaaf at the Shararat Teahouse in Whitegate.
  • Yoyoron will not accept Sutlac +1 or Irmik Helvasi +1.
  • Should the appraisal fail, you will have to obtain another Timeworn Talisman as well as any food items that you traded him.
  • Should your appraisal succeed, you will have to zone and talk to Yoyoroon again to receive the Key ItemTalisman of the rebel gods.
  • Enter the Walahra Temple in Aht Urhgan Whitegate at (J/K-8) for a cutscene to receive the Key ItemTalisman key.
    • If you do not get a cutscene, inspect the Imperial Whitegate instead.
    • NOTE: For any subsequent attempts, you will need to bring a new Talisman of the rebel gods directly to the Imperial Whitegate door (L-8/9).
  • Enter Hazhalm Testing Grounds and examine the Entry Gate to view a cutscene.
  • Examine the Entry Gate again to enter a BCNM.
  • Warning: Trust Magic CANNOT be used in this BCNM.
  • Your opponent will be Odin Prime, he can cast spells like Paralyze, Dispelga, and elemental magic.
  • Odin Prime can also spawn up to 3 Odin Images.
  • At a low percentage, Odin can use Zantetsuken if he stays alive for an extended period of time.
