Walkthrough

• Talk to Gentle Tiger at (H-6).
  • You will need to zone and wait one game day from completing the previous quest.
• Talk to Pagdako at (H-9).
• Talk to Blatherix at (F-8).
  • He asks you to bring him 30 chunks of Goblin Chocolate or 5000 gil to talk.
  • He will give you a Mine Shaft Key (Key item).
• Zone into Pashhow Marshlands (S) from Grauberg (S) and you will get a cutscene.
  • As of the September update, you are now able to ride chocobos in the past. Dismounting your chocobo is not required to receive this cutscene.
• Check the Corroded Door at (F-5) in Pashhow Marshlands (S) and select the Light in the Darkness objective.
• You will be warped into the Ruhotz Silvermines. See below.
  • Everyone who is entering the BC should have the key as well, or it will not let you enter.
    • A character that has already completed the quest can enter again with a key holder.
    • Repeating characters do not need to get another key; the NPC won't give you one anyway.
    • If your party members do not meet the requirements, you will not be transported inside.
• If you can't complete the objective, you will need a new key, and Blatherix will ask for 10 chunks of Goblin Chocolate or 1000 gil to give you one.
• Once you have beaten the Quadav in Ruhotz Silvermines, talk to Gentle Tiger for the final cutscene.
  • You will be required to answer three questions. The answers are:
    • The ventilation shaft...
    • The senator did not light the lantern...
    • The senator was distracted...
  • Choosing an incorrect option appears to decrease the number of choices you have in the list.

Battlefield Ruhotz Silvermines:

• See talk page for strategies and discussion.
• Kill any 7 Quadav to complete the objective.
• After a cutscene, you will find 9 Sapphirine Quadav and 1 Sapphire Quadav. You have 30 minutes to complete the objective. They are all True Sound aggro.
• You will start right in the center of the Quadav, so it is advised to buff up outside the battle. If you run South (Left hand side) immediately after the CS you will not aggro them.
• The Quadav are in three groups of three Sapphirine Quadav with the Sapphire Quadav slowly roaming between the three groups.
• The Sapphire Quadav has about 2000 HP and can use Benediction.
• All Quadav are highly resistant or Immune to Gravity and Bind.
• Killing the Sapphire Quadav will cause the Sapphirine Quadav to scatter, making it easier to pick them off one by one. [Note: They will still aggro after scattering, but only after they stop "fleeing" once their leader is defeated.]
• The Quadav have fairly low HP and Defense.
  • It is possible to win the battle without killing all of the minions of the Sapphire Quadav. It is even possible to win the battle without killing the Sapphire Quadav; just kill seven of the Sapphirine Quadav.
• It is possible to single pull a Quadav from its group of three.
• You will lose experience points upon death in this battlefield, so it is advised to cast Reraise spells or bring reraise items with you upon entry.
• Reraise effects will wear off when kicked out of the zone.

Soloable by many jobs at level 75 (see Talk Page).
