Walkthrough

• Trading four stacks of crystals or repeating San d'Oria Mission 1-2 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-8 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.
• 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 BLM with Sleepga II, or 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

(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 should run in and Elemental Seal + 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.
