Description
Beneath the grasslands of Sarutabaruta sprawls the catacombs of the Horutoto Ruins. Above ground, the entrances to these ancient tunnels are found within the giant, tree-like towers scattered across the savanna. The tunnels, rooms and caverns within are home to goblins, bats, beetles, skeletons and numerous other monsters.
Nobody really knows the purpose of the Horutoto Ruins, though a magical energy continues to emanate from their depths.

Found one in a chest.....
I also noticed that some of these Cardians were intimidated by a Dark Knight's presence. Holy-type mobs?

Being from Windie of done alot of spelunking around the towers just as a curiosity. Since there are six towers Ill list them as Upper, Middle and Lower, since well thats the order :3
In the East Saru area Upper Tower, there are three NM spawns, Doppelganger Dio, Gog, and the Bomb King. There is also a Magical Gismo door located behind a false wall.
The Middle Tower is used in Windurst Mission 1-1. Behind a cracked wall you can go lower into tunnels and find the Mahagony door. Further down it leads to three mage gate, which is connected to Rank Three Missions and above. If you keep going straight you'll end up exiting the Middle Tower in the West Saru area. Also treasure chest spawn in the tunnels below the tower. I got a key from killing the weaker slimes once.
The Lower Tower is a square and is used for Windurst Mission 1-2.
In the West Saru area, the Northern tower opens up to a large room with lots of low level gobs and bats. To the left of the tower entrance, along the wall there is a cracked wall that leads further down. This tower area is pretty straight forward and youll end up running into a large cavern room with lots of Ghouls and Black Jellies. If you walk against the back wall youll find that part of it is fake and is actually another tunnel. Down this tunnel there is a cerment door and large machine which asks for a Password, an Infinity core, and an Elemental chip. Upon asking some higher level associates (whether true or not) I was told it was used to make random items.
The Middle tower is the exit from the other system.
The Lower tower is full of varying level cardians. They range from Two of, all the way to Ten of, as well as some higher level Weapon class monsters further in the back behind a few cracked walls. Further back is a Magical Gismo door used in another of the higher rank missions.
Hope this helps anyone running around these areas.

You trade a Purple Chip and an Infinity core to it, and you have the chance to get a variety of things. I don't have a link offhand, but do a Google search.

Whats the use of cards?
5 posts
When you hold a card in your Items, for example, a Seven of Coins, the Seven of Coins Cardian will not attack you.
This is true, but it will attack you if it sees you resting whether you have the card or not. I tested this, ^^
Also, if you attack a cardian to which you hold the card, other cardians will still link. If you hold the card of the other cardians, as well, if they are WHM cardians, or have a healing spell, they will heal the cardian you're attacking, but they will not attack you, and when you kill the cardian you attacked, they will ignore you.

Anyone know how to get to the stronger Cardians? I only see 2's and 3's in the northeast tower, but I heard you can go deeper in that tower... any idea how? Or are the stronger cardians only in the southwest tower's ruins?
15 posts
The higher Cards are in West Sarutabaruta's Southwest tower. The deeper you go, the tougher they get. practically each room is a level up.
To the person who wanted to know the Lilac tower thing.
The baloon you saw was in a room where 1 of 3 NM's COULD possibly spawn. Note that you should probably be around lvl 35 before trying to hunt here, as the Doppelgangers will rip you to shreads. Bomb King is the other NM, he is a little bit easier, but not too much. The rooms with the 3 of coins (etc.) are crap rooms in my opinion. 3 rooms spawn NMs, if no Nm, a baloon spawns instead :D. (Please note that i only have EVER seen Doppelganger Gog, but other poeple i know have seen and beaten the other 2, and died to them also :P)

The cave that can be seen in West Sarutabaruta near the far western tower... I've heard rumors that it's an exit from Horotoro somewhere. Is this true? Where does it lead from? My exploratory curiousity is currently obsessed with the goal of standing in that cave opening for a triumphant photo.
I've gone deep into that western tower (lvl 41) and end up getting jumped by the Tens (cardians) every time before I can go invisible, so I dunno what that last magic door leads to.

The cave exit is a shortcut from deep down inside. So instead of having to go all the way back through the ruins, this tunnel takes you right outside. It has nothing to do with a BCNM (that i know of) I used this tunnel once i finished a quest here.
5 posts
I think that is the exit to the BCNM in Giddeus

read below it's an exit from deeper in i was mistaken about the BCNM i used it about the same time we did the quest, u prolly will too, but it is by coincidence

I have a question for all you Windurstians. I recently ran through East Saruta and noticed that no one goes to the little tower way in the north, so I went there myself. Only level 2 and 3 cardians as far as I saw, and one balloon. This one is the Lilac Tower, it is just a hallway, with four sets of two parallel stone doors on the east side and 3 sets on the left side with a cracked wall, which went to a magical gizmo gate that I can probably only open if I'm from Windy :/
I asked a rank 6 Windurstian and he said it was involved in no missions, but that an NM spawns inside one of the rooms randomly. There were two other people there at the time, but they didn't speak english. They did however keep running back and forth, opening the doors and looking inside, fighting a mob if there was one. I began to think maybe only one mob spawns in any one of the rooms at a time? But they were also only lvl 3 cardians and the one balloon. The two others were only lvl 30 WAR and lvl 24 WAR, both rank 3, so I still don't know what's there :( What is it that lies beyond the Gizmo gates and in those stone rooms?

if you are not level 40 and want to open 3 mage door you must have silent oils and prism powders on hand onceyou get past cracked door in room guarded by tier 3 gobs - boggarts and will-o-the-wisps pop there and they are sensitive to magic

I assume that these are somehow used to open the "Magical Door"...but, can someone tell me exactly how this works? I tried hitting them all and trading different stuff to them...but no luck? BTW WHY IS WINDY SO FREAKING COMPLICATED?

if that is the 3 mages gate.
there is a white, black and red circles infront of it.
Get a WHM, a BLM and a RDM to stand in the circles.

the 3 mages gate can be opened by a blm,rdm,and whm or find someone from Whindy that is rank 4 or higher. They should have a key item called a portal charm that is used to open the mages door. I am a warrior and I have it. no mages needed to open the door. I think I got it when I finished rank 2 missions going into rank 3 or rank 3 missions going into rank 4. anyways I had to trade 1 rollanberry to the npc at the desk in heavans tower. she said she will remember me. when I got my next rank I went back to her and she gave me the portal charm. I can get behind the mages door to fight the wendigos or even get to the toraimarai canal without help. Only people from Whindy can get this.
Not quite true but close...
You can only obtain the portal charm when you are a Windurst citizen, but that does not limit it to only people who started out as Windurstians.
Any player who has not accepted a mission (as in they don't currently have one in progress) may change alliance for a fee. I've met several people who are Rank 6+ for all 3 countries.
This allows them to switch allegiance for special quests, etc.

where do the bomb kings reside? I'm in the outer ruins from the north of sarutabaruta east, but all i can find is balloons. do i have to go deeper, or do i kill these off and then bomb kings spawn in their place?
Can anyone supply directions to the higher level Cardians, i.e. Sevens and up? Not sure which Horutoto tower to look in.
Thanks!
Thanks!
If you enter the southernmost outer ruin in west sarta you weill enter a room with 4 2s and a room to the east with 4 3s from here go north west you will see 5s and 6s and then find the room to the north go east from this room and you should find a cracked wall. go beyond cracked wall and you will /panic at the higher level mobs and sheer number of them in a wide open room. Last time I was here I was level 40 and mobs were still /checking easy prey to decent challenge in this room. I didn't hang out long do to the aggressive nature of the cards but i am sure you can find everything up to jack in here.

"Outer" and "Inner" refer to a bunch of different entrances. try the west sarutabaruta southwest entrance.

They're not Canadians, they're Cardians!
There are rare items that are in the game, Cardian Cards. I think you can control cardians who correspond to the card...
SO, for Horutoto, I'm gonna get me a "4 of Sword" Card and beat some goblin butt ^-^

they don't stop aggro, or allow you to control them, or any of that *********
and, cardians and goblins do not spawn in the same towers.

Ok, if they don't do that, then what DO they do? Hm? you don't know? then SHUT UP!!!!
Whatever they do.
isn't implemented, they are completely useless, but then again its a ever growing game.

Are ghouls a rare spawn in these ruins too? Im around lvl 28 and lookin for a place to get my friend a Magicked Skull, but Valk is too low chance and Gusgen has a lot of monsters higher level than me. (From what I can tell this place just has the cardians I have to be careful of) But do you ever see ghouls in here?

NW Tower in West Sarutabaruta. Go through the southern cracked wall. It's a straight shot to more ghouls than you shake a stick at. Seriously, Every single party in the dunes could come to this dungeon and not have to 'wait' for their turn on the next spawn. There is 2 corridors with 1-4 ghouls in them, down the Eastern corridor is a cavernous room to the north which typically holds ~8-12 Ghouls.
And yes these do drop the skulls :)
FYI The Combats in this dungeon Do aggro. There is a large cavern with many many Stink Bats and several Combats. If you catch aggro expect 2-3 combats and twice as many Stink Bats.
Now if Only knew what was through the Firmly Shut cracked wall down there :)
The Firmly Shut cracked wall is for mission 8-2 for Windurst.

No, if you read his post, he says he's helping his friend get his magicked skull... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
...... Good job buddy... Magicked skulls drop real easy in Valkurm, as well as all the other items
Yes - go to Valkurm Dunes with a THF with Treasure Hunter if you want an easy time of it. For an even easier time, have a RNG or BST with for Wide Scan (to quickly locate the ghouls).
I have helped a lot of people get their skulls while they noticed me in the zone and asked for help. I was often at the hidden beach killing leeches as RDM/THF - normally got a skull to drop within 3 or 4 ghouls.
The downside of course is that the undead only spawn at night in outdoor zones.
If you're really anxious to get it quickly, go to Gusgen mines with a high level friend. When they ask you to wait up by the zone, listen to them! I was helping people get theirs a while back and they kept coming down to watch (and get aggro and die) because they were 'bored'.
Hint for the newer players: when you really want help getting rare objects and ask for help - listen to their advice. It normally is really good. If you want to get keys for Kazham, etc - accept the help happily and don't worry that you won't get any XP being in a pt with a much higher level player than you. And most of all - when they ask you to stay out of the way (aka safe) please listen to them - not all higher levs have Raise. ^^
