Infiltrate Davoi  

Ok guys here's the thing:
I've done Mission 3-1, and Its listed under Completed Missions, stupidly I clicked on it again, so I have to retake it. ><.
Ok, no problem, I thought, I'll just do it again!
However! There is a problem, I went back to Quarecimond (sorry for mistake spelling), and he said "Oh sorry I'm lost" or something, and did not give me the key item again to do the mission.
Could someone PLEASE tell me what to do, and straighten a few things out:

1. Does the "!" across the lake have any significance in this mission.
2. The guy at the entrance ( that I used for the Davoi report) says something about Davoi being cut into sectors and I need to go deeper.
3. Why aren't I Getting the cutscene from Quarecimond (Something like that ), a second time?

Thanks very much
any help is appreciated

theres a guy standing against a tree to the right, as soon as you enter Davoi, talk to him, and even though he says you can't fight your way through to the "!" on the far side of the pond, you cant be invised while examining it, and i was unlucky enough to have 2 orcs spawned near me, but i soloed them at 29 as a mnk/thf(both were EP)...nothing dealing with a bridge. and i got no cutscene upon entering davoi.

and in order to find the prince, go to the cathedral, and go up the stairs to the right, keep making your way up to the top, click on "papal chambers" for your cutscene

ok...nevermind me...i did the wrong quest all together...im dumb and wasted a bunch of time

OK i just followed directions for this mission and they aren't that helpful. Anyone wanna knwo why??? sure you do. Because after you talk to prince you cannot simply take a choco to davoi. If you do you better hope there's a BLM pleasently standing at zone to warp your *** back to sandy. There is someone else you must talk to before going there which is what I'm tryin to figure out right now.

I accepted the infiltrate Davoi mission a second time, only to find out the mission had changed from the first time. Now u dont have to talk to the prince, and you dont talk to the npc scout u talked to in the first one either. U talk to the npc close to the zone(the dude u talked to in mission Davoi report). he will tell you to get 3 block codes, east, west and north. These block codes are !'s, and they're positions are: L-8, K-7 and J-7. When u get all of them, talk to the npc near the zone again. after that, cruise on to sandy, and talk to a guard. Mission complete!!

Once you get the mission, go and talk with the prince. Take a chocobo to Davoi. Once you enter, you'll get a cutscene. Using invis, make your way to the bridge by entering the large area ahead, make a sharp right turn, almost a U turn, and take that to a T, then turn left. Stand in the middle of the bridge and wait for Quemaricond to come to you. You will need to drop invis and move to his side of the bridge to trigger the conversation. If there are orcs too close by, then wait until they move away, as he constantly runs back and forth, you'll have plenty of chances to time it right. The first time I clicked on him he said "I'm sure I came in through this way..." Click on him again, maybe during his next trip, and he'll say "What? I apologize, but I am in quite a hurry..." He then goes on to give you the report. Recast invis and make your way back to Sandy, and the prince. That's it.

Wow, I ran all the way to davoi only to find out that I didn't talk to the prince. MY missions log didn't even say I had to talk to him. Great game.

Ok I got a stumper for all of you. I finished Mission 3-1, skipped 3-2, and then went on to finish mission 3-3, which gave me Rank 4. However I cannot gain access to any of the Rank 4 missions...anyone know what is going on here?

I dont get it....I did everything they said, and spoke to Quacerimond or something, then went back to Trion, He said well done Drakian, your mission is over..
I go back to the guard and he offers me antother mission with the same title 'Infiltrate Davoi' so im all confused like, cos i was expecting the Crystal Springs misssion(?)
anway on THIS new mission I had just got it said exactly the same criteria as the one I had just done, except now Quacerimond's name was replaced with another persons name that now began with Z... I forget his full name...

can anyone help me?

this is my problem: Now, some of us accepted the same mission a second time, and the problem with that is that the mission becomes different. You can't execute it by speaking to the same NPC running by the bridge(H-7), you have to speak to other NPCs. The question is, where are those other NPCs?

I got mission from guard and then went to Davoi, went to the bridge and found the running NPC...when i talk to him he just says "Sorry i'm busy no time to talk"....did i not do something im supposed to do? please help

Level 29 Red Mage/ 11 White mage.

Used sneak and invisable and got the report no trouble. You have to become visable to get it then use sneak and invisable again to get out.

the most trouble i had with this mission is to find a warp II.

hey i just did this 3-2 mission and i talked to tiron or who ever the prince was. he sent me to davoi I got the report and came back to the cathedral gave him the report and he said the mission was finished. so i go back to gate guard to get mission 3-3 and they tell me what mission do you want to do again...THEY SAY NOTHING ABOUT 3-3 WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO DONATE CRYSTALS TO GATE GUARD AGAIN...NOW THIS IS WHAT THE BOOK SAYS AFTER TALKING TO THE PRINCE, HE SAYS MISION IS OVER,GO BACK TO GATEHOUSE--GATEHOUSE, TALK TO GATE GUARD AND GET NEW RANK....I'M CONFUSED HERE

Just wanna make a note: the npc may not be on the bridge.
Did that mission like a month ago as 40whm, easy with invis/sneak (not sure if sneak is needed, just in case).
Went to the bridge, stood at the middle, i found orcs at the two ends of the bridge, invis was about to wear off, but the npc did not appear, not even within my sight.
The orcs were close, i ain't sure if it's safe to recast at the middle of the bridge. So i just ran past the bridge, turned right into a clear narrow outdoor tunnel (wish you see what i mean). Recast invis there, and the npc was running to and thro there! Yes, it's quite safe there. Just waited till the npc was running towards me to take off invis and talk to him, passed the cut-scene.
Resting mp for warp, it occurs to me that i may have to talk to the npc once again, but soon an orc aggro, so i just warp back with like 50 hp left.
And i proved later that you dont need to talk to that npc again after the cut-scene.

If you want to challenge yourself, it's fun to attempt to solo this as a RNG20 (I did it as 21, myself) without Prism Powders. Since you're a RNG20, you'll have the Camouflage ability (which makes you Invisible for 10-30 seconds). There's three ways to do it -- the easy hard way, the hard way, and the hard hard way. :-)

Easy hard: Home point in San d'Oria and get a Scroll of Instant Warp. Take a chocobo right up to the entrance to Davoi in Jugner Forest. Enter Davoi and Camouflage right before you enter the first opening. Go to the right, then turn right at the first opening you see. Keep going up the path until you see a very narrow path off to the left (may be hard to notice). If Camouflage wears off, it is safe to stop about 10 feet after turning to the left and wait for it to refresh. Camouflage again if needed and continue along this path past the Orcs to the bridge, and stand right in the middle of the bridge until Quemarcond arrives, then talk to him. Do not move closer to either side of the bridge than the other, or you will aggro Orcs. After talking to Quemarcond, use your Scroll of Instant Warp and you're done!

Hard: Run through Jugner to Davoi without a chocobo, being sure to avoid aggroing Forest Tigers (aggro by sight) and the Orcs near the entrance (also aggro by sight). Use Camouflage if necessary. Enter Davoi, follow the directions above, then use your Warp scroll and you're done! OR Chocobo to Davoi, then follow the above directions to get to the guard. Wait in the center of the bridge for Camouflage to cool down, then use it and run out. You can pretty much ignore Orc aggro on the way out of Davoi and most likely safely zone without being killed (especially thanks to Resist Poison). Exit to Jugner and Camouflage your way out of there to La Theine, then run back to San d'Oria and you're done!

Hard hard: Run through Jugner Forest to Davoi. Follow the directions to get to the guard and get out. Then, run back from Davoi through Jugner Forest to La Theine, and back to San d'Oria, and you're done! Remember to bring a towel, you'll need it to wipe all the sweat from your brow!

I did the hard way of taking a chocobo to Davoi and then running back through Jugner Forest. Boy was it exciting! On the way to the bridge, I had no clue where I was going, so I ended up walking into a group of War Lizards just as Camouflage was giving its wearing-off warnings. Thankfully I got to the safe point mentioned above and managed to wait for another Camouflage. Unfortunately, as soon as I started walking towards the bridge and was about to use Camouflage, I noticed an Orcish Fighter a bit closer than I expected, and it aggroed me right before Camouflage. >< I ended up having to zone and aggroed about 8 Orcs on the way. Fortunately, I survived.

On the second trip in, everything went peachy, although I was extremely nervous waiting in the middle of the bridge with an Orcish Beastrider literally standing on the inside end of the bridge and an Orcish Fighter directly opposite him, standing on the outside end of the bridge. Fortunately, Camouflage cooled down, I used it, and I got all the way to the merchant goblin before it ran out.

Naturally I breathed easy until I had to walk out through Jugner. At first I impatiently walked out without Camouflage, simply avoiding the Orcs by running along the mountain edge...but I soon realized the folly of that plan as I aggroed an Orcish Cursemaker. Naturally, he invited two of his friends to chase me (a Stonechucker and a Grunt), and at Lv21, I was ill-equipped to deal with all three of these at once. However, as I ran, I noticed only the Grunt doing damage to me, so I thought maybe the others had lost interest, and stopped to take him on. He checked decent challenge, so to be safe I used Eagle Eye Shot on him. After that, two ranged attacks finished him off.

But woe be the adventurer who thinks Orcs lose interest that quickly! No sooner did I attempt to sit down to rest than the Stonechucker and Cursemaker caught up to me. I immediately began running again, and just as I left the Stonechucker's ranged attack radius, I fell to 4 HP. The Cursemaker then attempted to cast Bio, but missed as I also left his casting range. I was now running for dear life, praying not to get any more aggro. Near the zone, I spotted Forest Tiger within ten freaking feet of me, but mercifully facing the other direction. I managed to cut a wide swath behing it and not get aggro. It was a long run to the zone, but fortunately I made it there and my PS2 and internet connection generously conspired to prevent me from getting hit and killed while zoning.

It was a long rest afterwards, but I then easily ran back to San d'Oria and completed the quest. Boy was that fun! ^^
