Shantotto Ascension

Eldelphia · 11-09-2009, 03:37 PM

OK, logged in and heading to Windy... post up if you find the start

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Initial Cutscene is gained zoning into Windy Walls not via Mog House
2. Second CS gained zoning into Sara (West works, East not sure yet). Says head to Qufim with an item in your posession.

Enfeeblement Kit of Silence
Enfeeblement Kit of Poison
Enfeeblement Kit of Sleep
Enfeeblement Kit of Blindness

All kits involve three synthed items from one drop and one synthed item. Each kit will also require a particular potion depending on which you were assigned.

Talk to Kuroido-Moido in the Orastery (Port Windurst) - 2 Bast Parchment+Inferior Cocoon + earth = Padded Box
Talk to Faulpie in the Tanner's Guild in South Sandy - Pumice+Parchment+Dark = Fine Parchment
Talk to Abd Al-Raziq in the Alchemist Guild in Bastok Mines - Magiked Blood+Black Ink+Dark= Enchanted Blood

The following items are not rare ex and can be bazaared etc so you can send a team to farm in Ordelles whilst another goes to Gusgen and exchange extras. You will need 1x cocoon, 2 x pumice and 2 x blood to make the materials for your kit. It is highly suggested that you farm more materials than you need, as synths can fail.

Inferior Cocoon - Crawlers in Maze of Shakrami

Pumice - Wights in Gusgen Mines

Magiked Blood - Stink Bats in Ordelles Caves

The final kit is synthed... you must synth this yourself as it cannot be traded.

Alchemy - Earth?
2 x Fine Parchment
2 x Enchanted Blood
1 x Padded Box
1 x the potion related to the kit you were assigned (i.e. poison pot/sleep pot/silence pot)

3. Once you have your kit, head to Qufim Island and trade it to the 'Trodden Snow' on the ice on the pond at (H-7). You receive 6 Key items called 'Domina's xxxxx seal' where the xxxx is a different colour (scarlet, cerulean, emerald, amber, violet and azure). These relate to Ifrit, Leviathan, Garuda, Titan, Ramuh and Shiva.

4. You're sent to the protocrystals, defeat at least 3 fights (touch crystal after cs) and then head back to Qufim for your reward. The fights are called 'Sugar-Coated Directive'. If you do all 6 you receive 50,000 gil.

E.g. Earth Protocrystal - fight is called 'Sugar-Coated Directive'. You have to touch the crystal twice to enter. Capped at 75 so buffs wear on entry. Fight was much easier than normal prime. Didn't seem to melee, just to spam a weakened 2hr. You gain 400 xp from winning the fight. After the fight is over, examine the crystal again for a short cs and obtain a counterseal.

5. The cs on Qufilm sends you to Norg and speak to a NPC called Andrause to get hold of a Black Book. Andrause is at I-8 in norg, up the big stairs and then turn left (before the archway, don't go into the corridor with the Oaken door).

In return for the Black Book Andrause wants you to take some soul plates for him, and will sell you a soultrapper and soulplates for 800g. I was asked for a Riparian Sahagin, Razorjaw Pugil and a Dire Bat.

Note: if you have problems with getting Cutscenes in Gustav or Ro'Maeve, switch from Windower to SE Windower and retry.

6. Zone to Gustav tunnel from Terrigan... At F-10, there is a targetable thing called a Outcropping... Touch it for a CS and then a fight.

The NPCs spawn green, after about 30s copies of them pop and they are targettable. After a minute, the original NPCs turn into targettable mobs, these are the ones you need to defeat. They are easy to distinguish because they cast Utsusemi: Ni, and have slightly higher evasion and defense, as well as hit points. The copies are fairly weak, if you defeat a 'Master' the remaining copies depop. Icespikes are amazing for this fight.

Kill these 3 and then you get a Cactuar Key, some EXP. Touch the Outcropping again after the fight, for a Cutscene with Aldo.

7. After the Fight, head to Aldo in Tenshodo HQ in Lower Jeuno. Much plot is revealed and you are sent to Ro'Maeve.

8. Check the Ensorcelled door at B-10. Need to kill mobs in Ro'Maeve and the Sanctuary to get the 6 fragments needed to open the door. These are not 100% you may need to kill several mobs to get them. Each mob has a specific weakness, you must kill it using appropriate damage otherwise you cannot harm them.

I had issues as a SMN with Blest Bones depopping on me, even before 4 am, seems there is a time limit on the fights as the same happened in Ro'Maeve with the Lode Golem.

Ro'Maeve
Steely Weapon - Ranged only
Lode Golem - Magic only
Fired Pot - Slashing only

Zi'Tah - will despawn once night ends
Blest Bones - Magic/Cures
Holey Horror - Piercing
Skeleton Scuffler - Blunt

Once you have all 6 fragments, head back to the door for a CS

9. Head to Toramerai Canal and collect 8 key items - elemental Saps.

Sap Locations in Toramerai Canal

Then head to Full Moon fountain to start a fight against 8 Tarutaru Fomor.

Once the fight is done, head back to Aldo to complete the mission.

The final fight is in the Sacrifical Chamber, Den of Rancor. Head to the Temple, and pick up all the Hexes on the way to make your fight significantly easier. They will increase your stats enormously.

Position of Tablets for final fight

Temple of Uggalepih

Map3 (Hakutaku Map)
Tablet of Hexes: Penury (F-9)

Map2 (Sacrificial Chamber Entrance)

Final Fight is against 2 Shantottos D. Shantotto (BLM) and Shantotto (WHM)

Norellicus · 11-09-2009, 03:39 PM

Shantotto herself would be the obvious choice; barring that, Heaven's Tower.

Aemora · 11-09-2009, 03:39 PM

Step one: Zone into Windurst Walls!

Eldelphia · 11-09-2009, 03:39 PM

Eldelphia · 11-09-2009, 03:55 PM

Cutscene #2 as you zone out to Sara, says go to Qufim

Seeko · 11-09-2009, 03:58 PM

Orastery employee (Kuroido-Moido) says you need to get 2 sheets bast parchment, earth crystal, and an inferior cocoon (from crawlers in maze of Shakrami), and blinding potion

gaimear · 11-09-2009, 03:58 PM

says you need an Enfeeblement Kit of poison..

seek out an orastery employee, a tanner, and an alchemist

Corrderio · 11-09-2009, 03:58 PM

Darkrift · 11-09-2009, 03:58 PM

They sorta did... it's not beastmen this time. Though yeah, the lack or originality for each addon is pretty pathetic.

Darkrift · 11-09-2009, 04:01 PM

yes ;_;

Eldelphia · 11-09-2009, 04:03 PM

Maybe there's different varieties so that every single person doesn't have to farm the same stuff. Hopefully.

Elsgared · 11-09-2009, 04:04 PM

Mine was "Enfeeblement kit of sleep" talk to a orastery employee, a tanner and an alchemist

Gustaf the Voidbringer · 11-09-2009, 04:08 PM

Says I need a flask of Silence potion... since mine was enfeeblement kit of silence. Guess it's different for some folk.

Pun · 11-09-2009, 04:08 PM

kit of blinding for me

Seeko · 11-09-2009, 04:09 PM

caterchipillars from bubu side seem not to drop? running around to tahrongi side

dantaro · 11-09-2009, 04:10 PM

Woods >> East results in a CS too

Corrderio · 11-09-2009, 04:13 PM

Just talked to someone. The cocoon is 1/5 for him and he said it's not R/EX so you can probably AH/Bazaar them.

EDIT: Went 1/1 on my Cocoon.

Acorn · 11-09-2009, 04:15 PM

1/1 carniverous clowrer

Eldelphia · 11-09-2009, 04:16 PM

Someone in the shell said Maze of Shakrami for the cocoon, going to investigate
