San d'Oria 7-2 - The Secret Weapon

The Secret Weapon

Details
Reports from Ghelsba indicate that the Orcs in Yughott Grotto are up to something. Investigate, but speak of this to no one.

Walkthrough
After talking to the gate guard he will tell you to go to the Queen's Garden.
After the cutscene, go back to the gate guard to accept the mission.
Then travel to Horlais Peak with your party.
Only people who have accepted or completed the mission beforehand can enter the Burning Circle, people from other nations cannot help you on this mission.

Since this is a Burning Circle Fight, only 6 people are allowed to enter. The fight has no level cap. You will be faced with 5 opponents, two Warmachines and three regular Orcs.

Bard/Black Mage runs in and AoE-sleeps the orcs. The warmachines cannot be put to sleep, so take these out first. You will be left with a Paladin Orc (Darokbok of Clan Reaper), a Dragoon Orc and his wyvern (Derakbak of Clan Wolf) and a Ranger Orc (Jagidbod of Clan Reaper). All of these can and will use their two-hour ability. Invincible and Call Wyvern will not pose a problem, Eagle Eye Shot hit our dragoon for 1057 damage however.

We took the Paladin first, then the wyvern, then the Dragoon and then the Ranger. That order seemed to work pretty well.

I did this comfortably with a party ranging from 68 to 75, it may be hard to complete if your party is only in the 60-65 range. However, this is really about crowd control. If you are familiar with BCNM 40 fights, it should not pose a big problem.

After clearing the BC, go back to the gate guard to receive rank 8 and 60,000 gil.
