Walkthrough[]

  • Speak with a Gate Guard to accept the mission.
    • Trade at least 3.5 stacks of crystals if at zero rank.
  • Visit Iron Eater at the President's Office in Metalworks.
  • Head for (G-5) in Western Altepa Desert (take the tunnel), and enter Quicksand Caves Map 7.
  • Make your way to (H-8) and open the weighted door.
    • Alternatively, the door will open by applying enough weight on the nearby sensor. One of the following is needed:
  • At (G-11), you'll find yourself in a small room. Clear it out, and then check the Galka Statue to spawn 3 Antica NMs. They can be slept.
  • It is recommended you defeat them in that order, however a well-balanced party should have little difficulty with them.
  • Check the Galka Statue again for a cutscene.
  • Make your way to (D-12) of Western Altepa Desert and enter Quicksand Caves Map 5.
    • This entrance is accessed at (C-11)→(D-11) in the far Southwest corner.
  • Inside, head through the eastern weighted door at (K-8) this will take you to Map 6.
  • Go east to another weight device at (G-8) and proceed east again.
    • The ??? you need is on the floor infront of the mural in the room at (H-8).
  • Check the ??? for a cutscene with Zeid.
  • Return to Iron Eater for a final cutscene.
