San d'Oria 8-1 - Coming of Age

Coming of Age

Details
Princess Claidie will soon celebrate her coming-of-age, and the court in d'Oraguille needs help with the ceremonies. Speak to Monarlais Halver and offer your assistance.

Walkthrough
You will need to trade in quite some stacks of crystals before you can accept this mission.
After talking to a gate guard and accepting the mission, pay Halver a visit in the Chateau, and you'll see a cutscene.
Halver tells you to go to Quicksand Caves to help the Princess with her ceremony.

Enter Quicksand Caves from Eastern Altepa Desert G-9.
Keep heading west, you'll eventually run into a dead end.
Take the path south right before the dead end and follow it till you get to a room.
There will be a sand trap at the end of the room, drop down here.
Right after dropping, orientate yourself left, then hug the left wall until you arrive in a room with Fountain of King.

Clear the room of mobs first, as touching the spring will pop two Kraken NMs, "Honor" and "Valor".
You can pull them one by one if the person who touches the Spring is sneaked.
Just pull them with ranged attack afterwards.

Valor primarily uses AoE Silence, so make sure to carry some echo drops on you.
Honor likes to use AoE paralyze, so a few whms or whm subs come in handy.

They don't have a lot of HP, so the fight should be quick, especially if fighters saved their TP while clearing out the room beforehand.

We did this with 8 people 69-75, but it was completely overkill.
2PTs 60-65 should do the trick, or 1PT of 68+.
Go back and talk to Halver to finish the mission.

You will have to wait about 10hours to accept 8-2.
zone into N. Sandoria for a cutscene after that.
