Windurst 2-3 - The Three Kingdoms

The Three Kingdoms

Details
Determine the state of affairs in San d'Oria and Bastok, and render assistance on behalf of Heavens Tower. Inquire at our consulate in each country for more information. Traveling by ship from Mhaura to Selbina is recommended.

Walkthrough
This is a VERY Long quest and is divided into TWO parts that will VARY depending on WHICH one city you visted first. I suggest completing either sub-job quest (from Vera, Mhaura OR Isacio, Selbina) before attempting this. Getting a Chocobo License and the maps to Palborough Mines/Ghelsba/Giddeus is advised. In addition, the maps to all the main cities are a good idea.

After talking to the Gate Guard talk to Kupipi in Heaven's Tower (Windhurst Walls). She will explain the mission. You might want to start the "Rock Racketeer" quest from Windhurst before leaving town. Bid a tearful good-bye to Windhurst - you won't be back for a long while. Depending on how you go from here, the missions may differ.


Bastok - The Palborough Mines Mission
The Windhurstian embassy is located in the top of the Metal Works. Talk to the Ambassador to receive this part of the mission.

Then head to the President's office (K-8 ) to talk to Pius and learn the importance of the of Mythril Sand to the beastmen. Lastly, meet up with Grohm in the Metalworks Craftsmen's Eatery where he will tell you the procedures and happenings in Palborough Mines. Before heading out, you might want to buy some more "pickaxes" from in the item shop (H-7) in Bastok Mines. In additon, buy a map of Palborough Mines in Bastok Markets.

Head off to Palborough Mines (North Gustaburg, K-3). After entering, go to I-8 and use the elevator to get to the 2nd floor. Now head to K-9 on the map. you'll find a spot where you can do some digging. Trade the "pickaxe" to that spot. You may fail a few times, so keep trying until you get an item. NOTE: this is the same spot for the "Rock Racketeer" quest.

After getting the item, go to the 2nd level to the middle of the map (I-6) by going around the right side of the map. You'll see a machine with a lid and a lever. Trade the item you got to the lid, and then pull the lever.
Continue the path to the left side of the map, around and back to the area under the machine. You'll see a lever there too. Pull it and receive an item. Go back to the embassy and trade that item to the Ambassador.



San d'Oria - Fort Ghelsba Mission
Head to the Consulate of Windurst in Northern Sandoria. Then talk to Halver in Chateau d'Oraguille by the stairs inside.

Get the Ghelsba Outpost map if you havn't. It'd be easier to locate. And go to Ghelsba Outpost. There is a ramp on I-6 in Ghelsba Outpost go up the ramp and enter the cave. In the cave just simply go straight, and take every possible "right" pathways. Once you exit out of the cave, go towards right and go up the moutain. There you can cross the bridge to where Warcheif is. Kill the Warchief Vatgit around H-7

Go back to the Consulate of Windurst in Sandoria.



San D'oria - The Dragon
In Northern D'oria head to the Consulate of Windhurst. First of all talk to be the Ambassador. You will be told to talk to Halver in Chateau d'Oraguille. You will need a Ghelsba Outpost map. As well you might want to start "The General's Secret" quest from Curilla (Temple Knights' Quarters, Chateau d'Oraguille) since the water is right by the end of this mission. To prepare make sure you have a FULL party and you are ready to fight the dragon. If you have anyone over level 25 make sure they have under level 25 equipment since they will de-level for the boss.

Head to Fort Ghelsba and go all the way to the top. There are some huts, behind which is a tunnel leading into the mountains. (You can also get here from Yughott Grotto by hugging the wall to the left as soon as you enter Ghelsba). At Fort Ghelsba you need to head into one of the huts at J-8 to get to the last area - another "Grotto". Once you enter the top of the mountains there are two exits -- one to the burning circle and the other to the springs - "The General's Secret" quest.

Prepare yourself and enter the burning circle. There are two monsters a floating eye and then the dragon. Don't bother with buffs since the dragon will remove them all in the first few seconds. Kill the floating eye first, then the dragon.

Once done you are sitting in the springs. Heal up and head back to he Consulate of Windhurst and pick up your Adventurers Letter.

Finally, battered but defiant, make your way back to Heaven's Tower in Windhurst and to receive your well earned rewards.
