Walkthrough
Part 1: Obtaining a Black Book
- After the cutscene in Qufim, head to Norg and speak to Andrause at (I-8).
- In order to get the Black Book from him, he will ask you take pictures using a Soultrapper of mobs in the Sea Serpent Grotto.
- He will give you a specific list of mobs for you to take pictures of.
- He will offer to sell you a Soultrapper and a stack of Blank Soul Plates for 800gil.
- To take a picture, equip the Soultrapper in your ranged slot, and the Blank Soul Plates in your ammo slot. You can then use the macro /item "Soultrapper" <t> to take a picture of a mob. You don't have to engage the mob to take a pic.
- Some monsters can only be found behind doors requiring certain beastcoins for entry:
- Open Area: Bigclaw, Brook Sahagin, Riparian Sahagin, Rivulet Sahagin, Royal Leech, Undead Bats and Grotto Pugil (on first map at M-11), .
- Silver Beastcoin door: Sea Bonze, Grotto Pugil.
- Mythril Beastcoin door: Blubber Eyes, Bog Sahagin, Marsh Sahagin, Rock Crab, Razorjaw Pugil, Sahagin Parasite, Swamp Sahagin.
- Gold Beastcoin door: Devil Manta, Dire Bat, Lagoon Sahagin, Delta Sahagin, Coastal Sahagin, Mousse, Robber Crab, Shore Sahagin.
- I was able to grab a picture of a Shore Sahagin that was up on the ledge with Mindgazers from down below (took 2 tries).
- I also snagged a picture of a Delta Sahagin from under the ledge on Map 4 (J-8/9)where the Rivulet Sahagins are (behind mythril door).
- Remember you can not take a picture while sneak is active. (Mob's behind Gold door agro 75)
- Andrause will not accept pictures of monsters not taken in Sea Serpent Grotto.
- Trade these one at a time back to Andrause.
- Once you have traded all 3 he will give you the Black Book (He mentions that if another is required you can return to him.)
- Please be aware if you throw your Soultrapper away, Andrause will ask you to wait until the next shipment arrives. (At a guess JP midnight unconfirmed at time of posting.) You can purchase the Soultrapper & Blank Soul Plates from Zandjarl, The Colosseum (F-7).
- NOTICE - Soultrapper cannot be used while under the effect of Sneak or Invisible. When attempting to take a shot of a Robber Crab behind the Gold Beastcoin Door, that message appeared.
