• Talk to Rholont with the 3 key items to start the next part of the mission.
• He'll give you some Biscuit a la Rholont (Key item) and tell you to go to Jugner Forest (S).

  • Soloable by any /nin mage job with dots that can be applied from a distance. Solo'd as BLM/NIN just running around the lake avoiding aggro and applying DoTs.

If this happens, kite him for 30-45 seconds until it wears off. If he loses aggro, its safer to bring poison pots with u and reclaim him with stun. Long fight, about 40 minutes.
