Walkthrough

Warning: Trust Magic CANNOT be used in this BCNM.

Map A
Map B
  • Speak with Ripapa to obtain the quest. If you are positive that you have the required fame but she is not allowing you to undertake this quest, continue speaking with her until her text changes. Once you have received the key item: Tuning fork of lightning, you can now safely undertake the quest.
  • Travel to The Sanctuary of Zi'Tah enter to The Boyahda Tree at (K-12) or (J-12). On the first map of The Boyahda Tree, travel to (A-7) to climb to the second map. On the second map, go behind the waterfall at (I-11) to find the hidden entrance to the Cloister of Storms.
    • Preferably, home point to The Boyahda Tree #1. If you don't have it yet, make sure to grab it on the way.
    • The Unity 135 warp will put you on map B so the home point is a short run away. Beware of aggro from mobs even at level 99.
  • Defeat Ramuh Prime and you will receive a key item: Whisper of storms
  • Return to Ripapa with the whisper and she will provide several reward options including the ability to summon Ramuh.

Notes

  • Up to 6 party members can enter the arena.
  • Each party member must have their own Tuning fork of lightning.
  • Time limit is 30 minutes.
  • You can only select one of the rewards Ripapa offers at any time.
  • You may repeat this quest once per Earth day.
  • You can save yourself a lot of time traveling to the Cloister by using the Mini Fork of Ltn. given by the quest Trial-Size Trial by Lightning. You must be on Summoner as your main job, and obtain the Mini Tuning Fork from Lacia, trade the fork back to Lacia, but enter the Protocrystal normally. So long as you do not clear the level 20 version of the BC, you may warp to the Cloister as many times as you wish.
  • You may also choose to retain the whisper in order to complete the requirements for this quest: The Moonlit Path.
