~~Interactive Treasures of Aht Urhgan Mission Guide~~Follow

i'd just like to say one thing in this post:

I LOVE YOU GUYS!

thank you so much for getting me sage!
over night, my karma went up by .23 points! that's a 6% increase in like 12 hours, which is a lot for someone with ~600 posts. I really appreciate for response for this thread and I'm continuing the rate-ups cuz you guys are the real reason for my interactive guides' success.

back to the guide: rug, i'd add that link, but he blatantly took the html code from Erecia without receiving her permission, so I'd prefer not to condone that =\ (althought I will admit that at the moment it's probably a more complete guide)

Ah, I understand now. Thanks. Gonna jump right on those.

So...I have done all of the missions, but I'm still on 8. It just says to get to work pretty much. What do I have to do to complete 8? Is it just complete an Assault successfully?

Hahahaha! That sucks. But, yeah...I figured it must be something like that. But considering I'm getting really good at losing assaults, I didn't know if maybe it was contingent on winning. Glad to know I'm not the only one. Thanks.

someone should probably sticky this ^^b

you dont need 2 keys, only one. and lamia fang keys drop off both lamia and draguars in caedarva mire and arrapago reef.

seen a few Private 1st Class titles. these part of the mission line?

there are no more missions in the game yet, trust me. to become private first class you have to complete all the private second class missions. although i would be surprised if you had to be a certain distance into assault to progress in the story in the future, i would expect some sort of assault-style missions. similar to the bc's in previous story line missions.

If that "another quest" is Two Horn the Savage, you're probably stuck, and have to finish that quest first. I couldn't get the mission CSs before I did. It's rather simple thing to finish, just need to kill an NM (and then return to quest giver). Hits kinda hard, but it'll try and run away after a little bit of fighting. I've heard that you can finish the quest even if it runs away. I killed it as 75 rdm with 75 war/nin (Mighty Strikes Rampage at 100 tp dropped half its health).

Try talking to the rat guy repeatedly without zoning (and trading 1000 gil again). Failing that, go finish Two Horn the Savage.

Anyone know where I can contact the author of http://d3adma.tripod.com/ ? I have directions in Mamool Ja Staging Point^^

I just wanted to say thank you for your fantastic guides. I used your CoP guide to get my SP through CoP, and still use it for when I need to take LS members on missions. I would also like to ask your permission to place a link to your ToAU guide, CoP mission guide, and assault mission guide on my website.

Ive been using this thread alot to help me and my LS members. i managed to beat 4/5 PFC Assaults before i got the misison to look for the Warhorse Footprint, but i went to both places where ive seen them before and i cant find it so if anyone knows a spot other then the woodlands and the mire plz post it.

I'm currently on ToAU 4 Knight of Gold and I've already done the steps as far as trading the 1,000G to Cacaroon, and have entered the Walahra Temple at least 10 times. I've tried zoning, talking to Cacaroon again, and trying to talk to the NPC's inside the temple to see if they'd lead me to something. But nothing has gotten me anything thus far. Any ideas why I'm not getting the CS for the Gordeus?? Please tell me, I really want to advance in ToAU Missions, but this is delaying me very badly.

Wow Thank you! this is the only decent place i've found for help on these missions.

Definatly excited.

nope, higher mercenary ranks come through doing assault missions.

It should be noted, since this will likely be important to the missions

Alzadaal Undersea Ruins requires a fee of one Silverpiece to enter each time. Pay this to the NPC at the previously- "Restricted Area" areas, and you can enter.

To attain the map of the zone, trade 3 Mythril Coins to the NPC located in Bhaflua Thickets (the zone likely used in TM9).

Entrance in Bhaflau is at F-6.

Undersea Scouting
Zone into Salaheem's Sentinels for a cutscene. Zone into the Alzadaal Undersea Ruins and approach the sliding doors. I used the northwestern Bhaflau Thickets entrance, but presumably any entrance will work. Get a long cutscene. Receive the key item "astral compass".

Astral Waves
Edit: Go back and talk to Naja.

Imperial Schemes
Wait one game day, zone, and re-enter Salaheem's Sentinel's. Another fairly long CS.

Royal Puppeteer
Go to Nashmau and find Pyopyoroon. He requests a rare/ex item Jody's Acid, dropped by the malboro-type mobs in Bhaflau/Wajaom. In return, he gives you the key item "Vial of spectral scent". There is some confusion as to whether each party member requires this; I would think so.

Lost Kingdom
Go west out of Nashmau to the graveyard for a CS, and a fight with a Fomor NM. We took this down easily with 75 BRD RDM NIN MNK. Get another key item, "Ephramadian gold coin".

The Dolphin Crest
Back to Naja! /shocked

The Black Coffin
Head to Arrapago Reef from Dvucca Isle staging point. H-8 of map 5 on ffxi-atlas.com. Get some cutscenes, then fight an uncapped (but buffs wear) BC against 5 shadows (2 Mithra RDM, 2 Hume COR, 1 Hume RNG). After you kill these, they respawn along with a captian NM. Bring the captain down to 20% for the win.

The shadows resisted Lullaby heavily, but Gessho (Yagudo NPC) fights with you, and you can let him do the initial aggro if you feel like it. You can also have someone AoE them and kite (you can run in a circle up the steps behind you). We won using 75 NIN RDM BRD MNK DRG without too much trouble.

Note that if you enter and exit this BC (win, lose, warp out), you may have to go re-obtain a coin from the graveyard. Don't know if you have to redo the NM fight.

Ghosts of the Past
And....BACK TO NAJA!

Guests of the Empire
You have to come up with a body armor piece that Naja finds "acceptable". I am kind of fuzzy on this, but Barone worked for the DRG and Errant worked for me. You have to wear this body piece and no weapons when you try to enter the palace.

Passing Glory
You may now wait 3 months for them to release the next series of cutsc...er, missions. Grats!

for those of you that been around for awhile... im wondering... according to the dat files mission 18 is the current last missions (and from readong those descriptions none of them seem hard either... i dont see anything that would suggest a bcnm fight and well how many pop nm missions were remotely difficult? i cant remember any) so does that mean once we get/accept mission 18 were done or do we actually do/complete mission 18 (though never unlocking 19) before we're done?

yeah but what im asking is.. do you actually DO mission 18 or does it stop once you get mission 18

Errant did work for me on my BLM but switched to WHM with Noble's and that worked.

Just don't equip weapons and I entered palace.

FWIW, I tried to solo the NM at the graveyard. 75NIN, full evasion gear, fought at night for the extra +20 evasion

NM uses the normal Fomor attacks, 1 - 2 shadows absorb all of them, with the exception of his Drown move (doesn't last long)

Lot of HP, but blind/slow/para stuck with no problems, and I got him to about 10%, having only been hit once (Foxfire for ~300 + temp stun) when I caught agro from a Guard Skeleton (Decent Challenge) for yellow HP.

A Blizzaga II and 2 hits later, I'm down to 200HP, and just Mijin'd to try again another day.

So it should be soloable, most definately duoable

You might want to add my Aht Urhgan guide to that post, ahturhgan.freehostia.com Gates of Aht Urhgan, now Erecia has stopped updating her website.
