Bastok

Light in the Darkness:

1. Talk to Gentle Tiger

2. Talk to Pagdako

3. Talk to Blatherix, give him either 30 Goblin Choclates or 5k to get a Mine Key (Temp Key Item).

4. Zone out to Pashow, Do not C.A. out there, as you will not get cutscene. You must physically walk into the zone from Grauburg to Pashow.

5. Run all the way to F-5 Pashow, and Click on the door. The door may tell you, that you cannot enter at this time. There have been speculations as to why this is. The common specualtion that I've seen is that too many occupants are already undertaking this BCNM.

6. BCNM: You will come into a BCNM with 10 quadav (9 Sappherine and 1 Sapphire). You only need to beat the 1 Sapphire. You have 30 minutes to complete the BCNM. I solo'd this as a 75PLD37/WAR very eaisly. Kill off six of the sappherine, then killed off the sapphire to end.

(Strategy: The Sappherine are grouped into 3, with 3 groups all together. If you pull 1 it is highly likely you will get all 3 in that grouping. I started off picking 1 group off at a time. After I killed off 2 of the 3 groups, The Sapphire itself was a easy pull without touching the last group. )

7. Talk to Gentle Tiger outside Metalworks door.

8. Don't worry about you're answers, they're all safe to chose..

9. Recieve Adaman Ingot - and End Quest

[Price]

After talking to Blatherix, I zoned in and out of Pashhow and still didn't get a CS...? I've even waited a game day. You sure you aren't missing a step? or am I retarded and doing something wrong?

[Zerolon]

You Paid Blath 5k for the key? and info?

[Price]

Yeah I paid the gil, checked key items and have it. He doesn't say anything else when I talk to him, either.

[Belkin]

I think the CS needs to be at the zone from Grauberg to Passhow

[Price]

I think the CS needs to be at the zone from Grauberg to Passhow

This worked, thanks!

[Xanthu]

You talk to the Galka outside Metalworks, not the door itself.

[Gilanth]

Think you could solo the BC as a BLM?

[Ratatapa]

i don't know if they sleep really so

[Priran]

you could feasibly solo it as anything if you could kill the sapphire quadav before you died. It starts with buffs (I don't know which ones exactly, but it definitely had stoneskin,) has around 2k HP, and hits for about 30-50 per hit, with about 4-5 minions around it that hit for about the same.

[ByeByeTasai]

Just did this as a nin/whm... barely won cause i got inside and realized that i left my echo drops in MH and was immediately silenced. Just kited the hoard until it wore then turned and fought. Other then that mishap it was really simple. The NM is about as hard as a Decent Challenge Quadav. The goons are about as hard as Orcish Troopers. Had to kill the NM then 8 Quadavs to win(this appears to be random).

[Teakwood]

I soloed it as BLM/WHM today. I didn't know what the conditions were for winning; apparently all you have to do is kill the Sapphire and then run around in circles for 30 minutes? I honestly don't know if I won or if I timed out or if I timed out but won anyways.

I went into the BC, immediately targeted the Sapphire, it was with 3 other Quadav. I linked the three it was with and had no trouble keeping them asleep with Sleepga2... The quadavs like to spam Blink whenever they get a chance, so you'll usually want to open with sleepga or something like that to wipe shadows. The NM itself is not hard to kill, I think Thunder4, Blizzard4, Blizzard3, Drain took it out, and as long as you keep stoneskin up it shouldn't even be a challenge. Once you kill the NM, the other Quadavs will all run away from you and hide in corners, which makes the rest of the fight retardedly easy. I don't know how many you're supposed to kill before you win; I think I killed 5 or 6 of them, was kind of running out of time and freaking out because I'd mismanaged MP and knew I wasn't going to kill all of them. I had less than 30 seconds left, killed a Quadav, and got warped out with the win cutscene, so I don't know if you just have to kill the Sapphire, or kill Sapphire and a certain number of Sapphirine, or what.

I did solo it, though, just need to kill the Sapphire ASAP, it's not much harder than the rest of the quadavs, and the other quadavs all stop bunching together once the boss is toast.

[rath]

You need to kill 7 quadavs (not sure if saphire has to be one of them), but we killed it anyways cause it was in the group we pulled. Just a note for soloers, watch out for the saphire using benediction.

Edit: just did again without killing saphire, any 7 kills is enough to win. Takes about 1 dissev+FR to kill a saphirine with blu.

[Caestus]

i wonder if i can just Mighty Strikes solo this on WAR o.o

[Septimus]

i wonder if i can just Mighty Strikes solo this on WAR o.o

I two-boxed it with my WAR and WHM. With healing help I was able to beat the Sapphire Quadav with like 4 or 5 Saphhirine Quadavs on me. The Sapphirines will run away when the Sapphire goes down, so you might be able to take it out before they wear you down.

Having some problems with this part. Do I need to drop down into the basement, or is it on the main floor?

[Krazy]

You drop down iirc.

[Ruth]

I must be an idiot...looked all around in the basement and can't the sarcophagus

[Septimus]

I must be an idiot...looked all around in the basement and can't the sarcophagus

This is from the write-up that I did for this quest on the wiki.

* From Batallia Downs [S], use the (J-10) entrance to The Eldieme Necropolis [S]. Go to the southern room at (G-9) and fall down the center hole. Follow the path, then make a left turn up the stairs. At the top, enter the room to the north at (I-7). Check the Sarcophagus on the east side of the room for a cutscene.

* There are 4 Orcs in this room, so either clear them out before you watch the cutscene or wait for them to turn to drop invisible.

This is the map that you should be on.

Hopefully this will help.
