Walkthrough
- Completing the quest Divine Might will simultaneously complete this mission, and has additional rewards.
- Enter the Shrine of Ru'Avitau.
- After arriving in Ru'Aun Gardens take the center portal to the main island. Travel straight to the center of the island.
- Be careful not to stray, or you'll aggro the Groundskeepers along the walls on the blue pads.
- In the Shrine of Ru'Avitau, continue straight until you find an unmarked target on the wall. Examine the target to receive the cutscene.
- Do not forget to get this cutscene. If you fail to get this cutscene, you can still enter the fight and kill the AAs, but you will not be credited with this mission.
- You must fight each of the Ark Angels. The battlefield for each Angel is accessible through each of the islands around Ru'Aun Gardens accessible by the red portals.
- If you want to get to the different islands, activate pincer stones and take the blue portals.
- There is only magic aggro in this area except for the Groundskeepers standing on a blue symbol.
The Fights
- Six people will be allowed to participate in the Battlefield.
- Five Ark Angels must be defeated, one per Battlefield.
- Each one has 2 jobs and uses abilities and 2 hour abilities from both jobs.
- They use normal Weapon Skills for their weapon as well as a unique weapon skill that only they can use.
- It has been reported that the Ark Angels can use the 2 hours more than once.
- This is true, but maybe not for all the AA's. Not true for: AATT. True for: AAGK.
- They can be fought in any order.
