Walkthrough

• Trading four stacks of crystals or repeating Bat Hunt eight times will give the necessary rank points for this mission.
• When you have enough rank points, instead of offering you the list of missions, the gate guard will tell you to go to the garden in Chateau d'Oraguille.
• Go to F-7 in Chateau d'Oraguille to trigger a cutscene.
• Return to the gate guard after the cutscene to receive the actual mission.
• Head to Ghelsba Outpost > Yughott Grotto > Horlais Peak. Only people who are currently on or who have already completed this mission will be allowed to enter the battlefield. (You can still assist after completion, even if you change nations)
• Only 6 party members are permitted to enter.
• This BCNM is level capped at level 75.

• There is no Experience Points loss upon dying inside this BCNM.
• Buffs will wear off upon entering.
• It is recommended that you have a SCH or BLM with Sleepga II, a Bard, or a BLU.

• Upon entering the battlefield, you will find 2 Warmachines and 3 Orcs:

• Darokbok of Clan Reaper (PLD)
• Derakbak of Clan Wolf (DRG)
• Jagidbod of Clan Reaper (RNG)
• Wolf Clan Warmachine
• Reaper Clan Warmachine

• Very easily Duoed by RDM/BLM and DRG/SAM

(see testimonials)

• The Orcs are susceptible to both Sleep and Lullaby, however Darokbok of Clan Reaper is more resistant due to its Resist Sleep trait. The Warmachines can be slept using ES+ Sleepga II. They can also be slept by a well-geared RDM/BLM, BRD, or a WHM/BLM.
• The mobs are all level 68. The Warmachines have ~1800 HP, the Orcs ~4000, the Wyvern ~1000.
• The BLM or SCH should run in and Elemental Seal/Focalization + Sleepga II the orcs. The order of the BCNM should be Warmachine, Warmachine, PLD, DRG, wyvern, RNG. (Confirmed you do not have to kill the wyvern to win)
• Orcs and Warmachines are in a party and will link regardless of pulling strategy, getting hate on one will link all of them regardless of where they are within the arena.
• Once the BCNM is cleared, you obtain the key item Crystal dowser. Report back to a gate guard to finish the mission.

Reports from Ghelsba indicate that the Orcs in Yughott Grotto are up to something. Investigate, but speak of this to no one.
