Anyone know what the blank spot on one of those stone things on top of the Altar where Genkai 3 is. Its where a Yagudo Templar(SAM) and Yagudo High Priest(WHM) are standing.

Hope to shed a bit of light on the subject. There are three main brass doors (check Somepage maps). Note that all of this is SIGHT aggro (invis, powders or Tonko) except at the pool area (see #3 below).

1) Enter from Meri Mts. At first hall, go left, then first right into large room, go straight across to the east. Take the passageway to the east, curves south, take 1st left. First brass door is ahead of you. 2 switches. You can check either switch, liklihood of falling thru trap door 50%, unless you run back quickly.

2) Once through the door, head to the first T junction, take a left, follow to next T junction, take a right to 3d T junction. At this point, go left to the wall, open the concealed doors. Check the position of the levers on the mechanism; next brass door will have same pattern. 2 Yags in room. Exit room directly west (will end up going west, north, west, north) and you will come out on ledge over large open area. Take a right all the way to the wall, enter the passageway and take 2d right. Left out the door, and go across the bridge. 2d brass door is ahead of you. Open with the pattern of levers you saw in the concealed room.

3) You will be heading up stairs and Yags will be getting stronger. You will ultimately come into a large room with a pool in the middle. This is where you fish for Pld AF. Note: leeches in the pool are SOUND aggro, but you can avoid by crossing the room to the passage in the opposite corner by hugging the walls.

4) More stairs, stronger Yags. At top of stairs, you will be facing the 3d brass door in the distance. Central hall here is perpendicular to your path, and at each end of central hall are 2 rooms. In order to open the brass doors (unless somebody is in the room behind the doors and opens it), you will have to light the torches on high stands next to the door. You do this by going to one of the four corner rooms and clicking on the mechanism. There are almost always Yags that will aggro to at least high 60s, so you can only do it by dropping invis when they are turned, and reapplying. Your partner(s) should be at the brass door to enter as soon as it opens; can be opened for you from the inside.

5) At the altar, you can enter passwords (either look for them, or look for the list of possible passwords and keep trying until 3 are accepted).

Hope this helps. Have fun with the Yags, and good luck.

i am doing the onion rings quest where you dropped down through that hole and find a ring. i was told that the hole is in pos F-8 well i have looked all around that area and i cant seem to find it

I can't find the slime pond for PLD AF2 can someone plz help me?

What would the minimum lvl be to safely farm in here? I'm at lvl 52 atm, I don't go very far from the zone point to the mountains. Is it safe to kill most of the Yagudo on the first, maybe second floor without worry of getting massacred if 2-3 of them gang up?

hi i am 54 drk can someone tell me when i get inside when i will start agggro by them becasue first lv i dont get aggro, but i dont know the sencond lv. so i can save some power there
thank you

Can someone tell me how to open this door? there are 4 levers that need to be thrown in a certain order. Please advise!

What is the Deal with this place. I have been coffer key hunting for 3 weeks and not a single drop. Almost every time I come here I see a coffer chest. Makes me sick. I need this key to complete my AF. /sigh

You can get a map in Port Windurst for 3000 gil.

I saw a key drop, description said something like, this key grants access to the second floor of castle oztroja, dropped from the yagudo that drop coffer keys. on this map http://www.clanwind.com/ffxi/library/maps/castleoztroja.jpg the 2nd one that has the coffer spawns at H-7 there is a door i assume that's what the key is for?

The castle was clearly the hardest one of all those.. I did it with a friend of mean and finished it at 4:30am.. got rank 5 I died right infront of door which you use the torch because it keep reading cannont reach and I was close enough to be permently attached for life. My friend lvl 42war/ subbed rdm for sneak
and me 46war/ subbed whm for sneak. Prism powder is CRAP! it lasted about 25-40 seconds that that junk is expensive I ran out right before the door and so did my friend. BST/RDM I believe tractored me threw the door and raised me... only had 9 minutes before timer was it.. I live and got it done..

does anyone know where to find a map online?

Is Fairy the only server that has high level JP @#%^s that intentionally train mobs (usually leeches) on other coffer hunters to get them killed? There was Pingu doing it for a long time on Rairy but he's finally banned, and now there's another level 75 prick named Hirosimo doing it. He'll attack a leech in the pool so they all link, run upstairs to the last flight of stairs before the top floor, then log out ot reset aggro. Most of the time the leeches will run into someone on their way back to the pool, forcing them to 2-hour and instant warp out, or die.

I'm guessing he's another one of the loser gil sellers (like Pingu was) that needs to go out and get a job, but that's still pretty gay. Hopefully he'll get banned just like Pingu.

Do any of the other servers have douchebags like this in Oztroja? Dickheads like him make me wish even more that SquareEnix would start making JP only and NA only servers.

According to the jap web site, the ring can be found in the coffer treasure chests. The coffer keys are dropped by the following mobs:

Yagudo Prelate
Yagudo Conducter
Yagudo Flagellant
Yagudo Assassin
Yagudo's Elemental

Can someone please confirm this?

So anybody wanna explain how to get an astral ring from here? thanks plenty :)

K-8 its at. You have to get to it from the north side of the barrier. Its near the "Drogaroga's Spine" text on the map.

Air Elemtnal spells for SMN and Ninja scroll Huton: Ni droped in here while we did rank 5 mission.

Oh Horde Lullabye too.

18 of us are blazing a path through did not get what dropped them sorry.

Where can a map be purchased (or quested) for this dungeon?

Eastern side, about middle of Meriphataud Mountains. You'll see this castle looking place made of the local rock, built into the hills. That's the place.
