Walkthrough

• Speak to Luto Mewrilah for a cutscene.
• Head to Qu'Bia Arena in Fei'Yin for a solo Level 50 cap battlefield event with a 15 minute time limit.
• Defeat the Kindred Vassago.
• After the battle, return to Upper Jeuno and speak to Luto Mewrilah for a cutscene. You must have Signal Pearl on you.
• Head to Lower Jeuno and click on the first door on the left inside the Neptune's Spire for the final cutscene.

Note: Blessed Radiance - After you have completed this quest your NPC will sometimes use Blessed Radiance when one or both of your HP gauges are in the red.

Strategy & Tips

• The battlefield opponent is Vassago, a Kindred Dark Knight with a Scythe; he casts Drain, Aspir, Absorb, and other DRK spells, as well as Kindred TP attacks.
• He also uses Blighted Gloom, a very strong Dark elemental attack, which ignores shadows.

• If this is directed at you, you can easily run out of range to avoid damage; from his "Mirror of Blighted Gloom...I command thee" message to when he actually uses it is 10 seconds. Run away when he uses it.
• If Your NPC is targeted, however, Blighted Gloom will be countered with Blessed Radiance (so Stalwart Shield works very well). Your NPC will take no damage from Blighted Gloom.
• If you still have hate, standing behind the NPC (as you would do for Cover or Trick Attack) will cause the ability to hit the NPC instead. (See Talk Page for discussion.)
• Blessed Radiance from a LV50 (uncapped) Stalwart Shield fellow will only take Vassago down about 5-6% doing approximately 200 damage.

• He is reportedly very susceptible to Paralyze. Silence and Slow will also stick.
• His melee attacks are very strong, dealing around 150-200 damage.

• However, his melee attacks will hit for 100 and less to a Stalwart Shield fellow, who easily tanks him and self heals without you doing anything for 80% of the fight.
• Since he's using a scythe, his attack speed is fairly slow.

• Doing this BC on Lightday is recommended but unnecessary.
• If you or your Fellow is KO, you are ejected from the battlefield.
• The NPC and Vassago will not do any action until you approach them, giving time to buff up.
• You CAN'T use Sleeping Potions / Opo-Opo Necklace for TP gain (it will reset to 0%), nor can you use Reraise Hairpin (it will wear off).

• -- You CAN use a reraise hairpin if you wait until after you have entered the battlefield to use it (completed fight 3/26/09).

• You CAN still use your subjob in this fight.
• If you die, you will lose exp.
