Walkthrough

• Talk to Mertaire in Lower Jeuno (I-8) who tells you to take the Star Ring (Key Item) obtained from The Requiem to an antique collector namely Imasuke in Port Jeuno (E-6) (near the entrance to Qufim Island).
  • Note: You must be bard to get the cutscene with Imasuke.
• Imasuke says he can't read it and that you should bury it in Perennial Snow. The snow in question is located at (I-10) in Xarcabard. Bury it there and wait for the next real-life day (midnight japanese time).
• After digging the ring up, return to Imasuke, who tells you the language is old San d'Orian and that you should find someone that can read it.
• Talk to Chalvatot (F-7) in Chateau d'Oraguille.
• Chalvatot gives you a Moon Ring (Key Item) and sends you to the Monastic Cavern. Head to the altar room (I-8), clear the room and examine the altar to pop the NM Bugaboo.
  • Note: Orcish Warlord spawns in the same room and has True Sight.
  • You can simply pull Orcish Warlord to the nearby zone so all other mobs despawn, then zone back in and kill him. Go back into the altar room then spawn and kill Bugaboo.
• After you defeat Bugaboo, check the altar again.
  • Unlike Black Mage Hat AF fight, NM only needs to be spawned once for all party members to get the final cut scene.
• Go back to talk to Chalvatot in Chateau d'Oraguille to complete the quest.
