Summary

Deidogg wants to prove that the Talekeeper Raogrimm was no hero. First, he wants you to defeat the Quadav nest guardian in the Palborough Mines that Raogrimm claimed to have killed, and take from it the mottled Quadav egg the Talekeeper failed to bring back.

Walkthrough

Note: You must have completed The Doorman - WAR AF1 to start this quest.

First, talk to Phara at J-9 in Bastok Mines. Next, go and speak to Deidogg at H-6 in Bastok Mines. Talk to him twice to receive a cutscene.

Go to Palborough Mines, and at (G-10), look for a ???. Examine this to spawn the notorious monster Ni'Ghu Nestfender. When defeated, the NM drops a Mottled Quadav Egg.

After that, go to Castle Oztroja and kill Yagudo Parasites, which spawn around H-9 on the third floor. Kill them until you get a Parasite Skin.

Return to Bastok Mines. Trade the Mottled Quadav Egg to Deidogg for a cutscene. Afterwards trade the Parasite Skin to him to receive the final cutscene. Wait until next in game day and speak with Deidogg again to receive your Fighter's Calligae.

I soloed this as 69 bst, took about 2 hours total including travel (most of which was spent traipsing around Palborough and Oztroja looking for the correct spots). Quadav NM took less than 3 minutes, parasite dropped skin on first kill. Whoo!

Second part

The first part of this quest has been well detailed, so I will skip it. The second part took a bit of investigation to really figure out.

To get to the Yagudo Parasites, you must travel up to the third floor of Castle Oztroja. To get to the third floor, you must pass through two doors; both of which require you to be visible and able to interact with a locking mechanism. The Yagudo in here aggro and link like crazy. Most stand in pairs. If you get aggro, there is a high probability that you will die because the exit is very difficult to find. Just die in a visible place and you might get lucky and have a whm raise II you.

When you enter, weave around until to you get to the east end of the first floor. Here you will need to pull one of two levers. If you are quick, you can pull the lever, run back, and wait to see if it is correct. If the wrong one is used, a trap door opens to the basement where tier 4 Yagudo are. Try the other lever and the door will open. At this point, you are walking amongst tier 4 Yagudo. When I was lv52, a couple of them checked as easy prey. At lv53, all were too weak. Invis takes care of aggro problems. Go up the stairs and make your way around to the south end of the second floor where there is a rectangular hallway.

The rectangular hallway has a secret door on the east end of it. Within this secret room there are two tier 5 Yagudo which will be easy prey to a lv53. They will aggro you if you even open the door. The key for the second locked door is in here. An AF party can take these, but they will link. There is a safe hallway to pull to if you need to clear the place out.

Once the key is acquired, go to the west end of the second floor and you will find the locked door which requires the key just acquired. There are two tier 5 Yagudo in front of this door so invis is, again, impossible.

*Alternative to the secret room: You can wait at the locked door on the second floor. This path is well traveled as it leads to where the coffers are. If you are good, you can have invis going and run through the door when a high level farmer goes through. The door shuts incredibly fast so you must have invis up before the farmer even opens the door.

Follow the hallway up until you come to a fountain area. Here you will find the Yagudo Parasites. They link and aggro, so pulling will be difficult. We just killed two at once and that was fine.

For this portion of the AF quest, we had a lv53 WAR/NIN, a lv49 THF/WHM, and a lv60+ JP THF/WHM. We were able to dispatch all tier 5 yagudo and parasites with ease. Three members around lv50 should be able to take a tier 5 safely.
Its not very hard

Done it with my 52 party, except a 45 monk (WAR,DRK,MNK,WHM,BRD,BLM).
We killed the low lvl ***** nearby to gather 300% tp first and throw it in at the beginning of the fight.
After it, our melee can't do much damage on it, but the nukes from BLM never get resisted.
Take care of the ore throwing and warcry of it.
Ore throwing can hit up to 500 damage, that isn't a big number after you fighted Exoray while doing limit 1 quest.
Warcry is a pain if you dont have a RDM or BRD to dispel it, it will hit 100+ per hit to drain up the mp of your whm.
It uses invincible when 50% hp, but no biggie, the spells of BLM still kick in :)
What Am I doing wrong?
# May 04 2004 at 3:49 PM Rating: Decent
I'm a LV 52 WAR, I had just finished my 1st AF. I talk to Deidogg, he basically says "Go away outsider." Is there something I'm missing?

Nevermind, I figured it out. I just had to talk to Phara before I talk to Deidogg. ^^

1st Attempt:
I went with a LV 75 DRK/WHM, I asked him to change his sub to WAR, he was Japanese and I think he was trying to say that he'll be fine, I was gonna ask for more help but I guess he was saying that us 2 should be able to handle it but that was a flop. The DRK died, luckily I had subbed my THF so I fleed, that thing followed me all the way to the entrance!!!

2nd Attempt:
I found a LV 74 PLD Taru to help me ^^, and a LV 75 WAR, both of them had subbed WHM. I told them to build some TP, but they said that we should be fine. I got worried a little, cause the PLDs HP went down to 400+, but I just remembered that he was a Taru, the rest was history!!! Gonna try to get the Parasite tonite!!! :)

Hello !
Same thing happened to me. I had to talk with Phara before the Galka wants to talk with me. And I had to talk two times with the Galka before he talk me about Quadav Egg.

Thanks for the tips

I did it for my friend tonight.
We were all level 51 except the WAR, who was 50:

Party setup:
PLD WAR RNG RDM BLM

It hit me(PLD) for like 110-130, though it was slow (speed of a 1H Axe), and I had about 440 Defense with Boiled Crab and Defender. It hits hard, no worries there :)

And well, I'd say it was an even fight, as we finished it and the RDM had some spare mp. The only problem is that the BLM died at the end ><, I guess it's because he used Freeze then Manafont x.x

And btw, the NM is hard enough for ppl our level. If you say it's easy when you have 2+ level 60 people, obviously it's easy...
Some battle advice

Yay! I'm very glad to have done my AF2 yesterday, but it took some planning.

Attempt #1:
51war (me), 65rdm, 64whm. We ended up teleporting out. We simply couldn't do enough damage to the thing.

Attempt #2:
58mnk, 51war (me), 50drk, 51thf, 50brd, 51whm. I know this sounds like a low-lvl group to be attempting this beast and a somewhat goofy class combination.
We all worked ourselves up to 300% TP by slaughtering everything else in the mines. The got buffs, used food, etc. Cast sneak on me, the thf and the mnk before activating the spawn (no immediate aggro). Thf uses sneak/trick + fast blade followed by a WS from everyone else for a gigantic SC that took it down to about 50% immediately. Melee all used 2hr. NM uses invincible at about 25% life... we just cured through it... then repeated most of the SC after the invincible wore off. Based on the exp we got I'd estimate this is a ~lvl60 NM. We walked out at full hp and most of our mp (all our whm did was cast CureIII on the mnk 4-5 times).

...As for getting the 2nd item? It's worth mentioning that to get to the 3rd floor you need to go through a door with a series of 4 levers that control how it opens. Basically, it's the most western branch on the 2nd floor. Actually getting this item was anti-climactic, as the leeches were easy prey to our lvl50-51 group, but the Yagudo in the area were mostly VT.

After handing in the 2nd item, wait 1 game day (1 hour) to pick up your item. Wait another game day to start AF3 (if you try sooner you'll get the same text from the NPC).
Pretty tough

3 warriors, Me level 52 and 2 friends level 53 with a 65 red mage and a 50 white mage managed to kill this, TWICE (2 of use needed the egg.)

He has a lot of defense, erase helps a great deal when he uses invincible or shell shield.

Apparently nestfender is a paladin, so he uses flash often.

The second time was a close call because we had used our 2 hours as a precatioun, red mage had to use convert + stone skin + cure 3 to regain msot of her mp. Very epic battles but we managed to do it.
Note ...

To get this quest you must fist talk to Phara, the old lady who gave you AF1 quest near chocobo stables in Bastok Mines area. Then Talk to Deidogg. You may have to talk to him twice to get the quest.

All I have to say is EVIL !!!! This damn thing killed us with ease. Lvl 51 Warrior and lvl 67 RDM. Gonna have to go back with a full party. Wish I'd looked here first.

You must have forgotten that a RDM is not as good as a WHM. Though they have there good properties, with only 2 people you will take too much damage for 1 RDM to heal.
LOL

That NM is not that hard. I had 2 lv60 Monk lv54 WHM and me lv52Warrior killed it easy.
