Mission Orders

Rescue the children held captive in the Orcish camp in Ghelsba Outpost.

Walkthrough

Begin this mission by speaking with a gate guard in San d'Oria. The guard sends you to talk to a priest in the Cathedral in Northern San d'Oria. The priest is Arnau, found at the altar directly opposite the entrance to the Cathedral at (M-6).

The orcs have captured some children and are holding them in Ghelsba Outpost. (You can buy a map of the outpost in town.)

Exit town to West Ronfaure and head northwest until you reach a path leading north into a cave (E-4) to Ghelsba Outpost.

The children can be found at location G-9 of the map. When you open the door, you will get several options presented to you. Take the first one. This triggers a fight with 3 orcs, so you need to be in a group. Defeat the orcs and you will get a key which you can use to open the door and release the children. Go to the gate guard for a cutscene, then back to Arnau for another cutscene.

NOTE: If you redo this mission you will get a new cut scene to add to the storyline.

Just took this on as a naked 20 monk w/ no subjob. Went in, threw up Dodge and Boosted every 15 seconds. Took a total of 69 seconds and I took no damage at all. Easy fight.

Just remember to click the hut after you get the key to see another CS then head back to Sandy.

Went into Ghelsba as a (Mithra) lvl 10 BLM with no sub. Asked a kindly Rank 3 lvl 19 PLD if I could have Protect, "because i'm going to fight the orcs for rank 2 ^^". He cast Protect on me and started to send me /tells that I was going to die, "there's no way a lvl 10 BLM can solo 3 orcs!" I told him that I didn't care, it's just exp, and continued on my merry way.

So, I popped a Melon Pie, rested to full MP and entered. Lucky for me, my evasion is quite high and I dodged most of the ranged attacks. When my MP was gone, I used Manafont and continued to nuke. Made it out with 30/115 in 2 minutes, 23 seconds. No record, but I was alive.

I proceeded to send a message to the arrogant PLD who buffed me: "i just killed the orcs and wanted to thank you for the <Protect>, i couldn't have done it without you! ^^". After over a minute of silence he responded, "your welcome".

ps
Don't forget to click the door after you recieve the Key Item: Orcish Hut Key.

I'm going to be trying this mission tonight as a 12 WAR. I hope not having a sub job yet won't increase my chances of loosing. >.<

The first time I went into this battle, I died. I went in as a level 13 RDM and buffed with protect and barstone. I focused on the center (main) guy first and dia'd him and then alternated between water and stone. Orcs are weak to water, so the attack was pretty useful.
The other two goons didn't really come near, just stayed back and shot arrows at me while I healed as best I could. Got up close to them and they both attacked at the same time with thier axes which is where I saw my demise. Killed one off pretty fast and tried to alternate water attacks and then back up some and heal. I died doing that. I also deleveled to 12.
The second time I came back I brought two potions just in case. The main guy was stronger this time (due to my lvl demotion) and I had to use a potion during the fight with him. The other two goons were fairly simple. Used my other potion with them and they went pretty quick with water attack.
Never used my two hour, but thinking about it now, it probably would have saved me the first time. Oh well. I also had one other person with me in my party, they couldn't go in b/c they didn't have the mission activated. Just a little heads up on that.
Fun mission. It was my first semi serious fight, so I was a little nervous, but I really enjoyed it...other than the delevel.

I soloed this on my Sandy Mule as a lvl 10 WAR, I wanted to get Sandy Rank 2 CP items. But, I went ahead not knowing what I would face, and found 3 orcs ready to smack me down. So, I 2hred and was very lucky. But, this is probably the easiest fight I ever had using the hut.
Thanks for the god damn Fellowship Quest!

I can't understand why players who need Rank2 don't have higher priority than these suckers who just want to have a toy to play with. For Rank2 fight in Ghelsba Outpost, you need to wait at least 5 hours atm. It's really not fair. Why can't SE think a little bit about the low rank players?
help please
# Jul 06 2005 at 10:40 AM Rating: Decent
i dont understand... i have comepleted rank 2-1 and then the guy wont give me 2-2. when i recieved rank 2 , i had to do 1-3 again... please help me out... Bladez, 40 Sam, Leviathan.

First off...it's relatively simple. Just trade crystals to the gate guard that give you the signet. 2-3 stacks should do you...then try to get the mission.

Secondly, you didn't have to do M1-3 again. It's repeatable so you will always be able to do it again.

Feel free to keep doing it though. It adds a bit to your Conquest Points, which is always good.

I went in as a TaruTaru Lv.15 BLM and i soloed it all bymyself.. I killed all of em with Stoneaga, Fire and Aero and got 46 Seconds.. which is not bad if i say so myself specially for a Solo BLM.. But unfortunaley 3 ppl got the record of 21 seconds in Asura... Which Really sux.. I could prolly beat that record if i had 3 Lv.15 BLM all Castin Stoneaga.. Prolly beat the record into teh ground

No level cap, I suppose you just need to have to have the mission activated by the guy....but I could be wrong.
Easy if you're a Galkan MNK

Why can't I open the hut? I am a lvl 15 War and when I go to the hut is just says the door is firmly shut. I get no vct scene...just frustration because I want to get to 2nd level. I have accepted the mission and it is in my 'current' missions. I would be very grateful to the person who can give the clue to figure this out.

I was killed using a level 9 warrior, then I leveled up, and I had someone join me on this quest. He held the archers at bay, and I killed the chief. Just over a minute.

RE: why only sandorians

It is a San d'Orian mission so yes, it's for Sandy only.
RE: why only sandorians
# Dec 02 2004 at 5:26 PM Rating: Decent
it would make sense to me taht once someone who is on this mission went in, all they're party would be able to enter regardless of nationality. but unfortunately this is not the case.
side note
# Nov 04 2004 at 12:29 AM Rating: Decent
I was unsure if I could solo it as a lvl 11 WAR. I had no problem, I started with mighty strikes and used my shield break any chance I got. Finished in 1 min and 34 seconds with 60+ hp to spare.

Level 10 blackmage, went in alone. Lasted about 30 seconds before I got badly pwned.
15 of those 30 seconds was my trying to figure out where the hell my damned party went.
The other 15 was me trying and failing to get off spells.

Sometimes I really hate being a blackmage... sometimes. ^_^
