Walkthrough

• You are given six key item seals (Domina's scarlet seal, Domina's cerulean seal, Domina's emerald seal, Domina's amber seal, Domina's violet seal, Domina's azure seal) and instructed to attach at least three of them to the protocrystals found around Vana'diel.
  • Protocrystals are found in the Cloister of Storms, Cloister of Frost, Cloister of Flames, Cloister of Tremors, Cloister of Tides and Cloister of Gales.
• Click each protocrystal once, then click again for the option to enter a battlefield entitled Sugar-coated Directive.
• Enter the battlefield and defeat a weakened version of the corresponding Prime Avatar.
  • The avatar will not die until it has tried to use its astral flow ability five times.
• After the battle, click the crystal again to attach the seal and receive a counterseal key item (Scarlet counterseal, Cerulean counterseal, Emerald counterseal, Amber counterseal, Violet counterseal, Azure counterseal).
  • If you leave the area before receiving the counterseal key item, you can simply return in order to obtain it; the battle is not repeated.
• Once at least three counterseals are obtained, return to the Trodden Snow at (H-7) in Qufim Island for a cutscene.
• You will receive a gil reward that is dependent on the number of counterseals obtained:
  • 3 seals: 3,000G
  • 4 seals: 10,000G
  • 5 seals: 30,000G
  • 6 seals: 50,000G
