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.
  • If you don't have a Survival Guide directly to Pashhow Marshlands (S) or North Gustaberg (S) (zones directly connected to Grauberg) follow as such:
    • If you have Rolanberry Fields (S) use it and follow beneath the next step.
    • Otherwise take the Survival Guide to Vunkerl Inlet (S) and make your way to (H-11). This will take you off map and eventually you'll come to a drop at (I-11) you want to take to move towards (J-12), zoning you into Rolanberry Fields (S).
    • Make your way down to (I-14), grab the Survival Guide, and zone into Pashhow Marshlands (S).
    • This zone is exactly the same as the present (except there's no Konschtat Highlands yet so the zone is barricaded off). No surprise walls, so head to (G-10) and start hugging the left. This will take you off map to (G-11) where you'll hit the zone line for Grauberg (S).
• 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.
