      • This requires at least 3 people.

  • After you have made your way to Mine Shaft #2716 rest up and go over strategies. When you are ready, click on the Shaft Entrance and enter the battlefield "A Century of Hardship".
    • Note: Take caution not to enter an ENM instead of the Mission battlefield A Century of Hardship. You will need to return here again for this Mission and you must wait 5 days before obtaining another Key Item Shaft 2716 operating lever.
    • Buffs will wear when you enter so make sure to buff while inside the battlefield.


With the lifting of the level cap on this Battlefield, this battle is now relatively trivial in difficulty. The walkthrough below was written for a level cap of 60.

Boss Name Abilities Notes
Chekochuk (BLM)
Trikotrak (RDM)
Swipostik (THF)
Movamuq (WHM)
Bugbby (WAR)
  • All of the Moblins and Bugbby can also use their respective job's 2 Hour Ability.
  • All of the Moblins can call Bugbby to their aid at anytime during the fight so whoever is kiting/tanking Bugbby should be prepared to pull hate back.
  • Sleep is unreliable but Silence works well.
  • Try to Silence the mages and pick them off one at a time.
  • If you can't keep Silence on them all reliably, focus on Silencing the BLM first.
  • If you manage to get them to Sleep and happen to be fighting the WHM, Benediction will wake the rest of them up.

Departures

  • After clearing the BC, speak with Cid in the Metalworks.
  • Head to Newton Movalpolos and farm a Gold Key icon.png Gold Key for everyone in your party.
  • Head to Mine Shaft #2716 (see above for methods of getting there) and trade the Gold Key icon.png Gold Key to the shaft entrance to get a cutscene.
    • After the cut-scene plays, it will send you to the BCNM Exit.
  • Return to Cid once again to finish this path.
