The Circle of Time - BRD AF3
|
SummarySolve the riddle of the ring, and find the truth behind it. WalkthroughNote: You must have completed Painful Memory - BRD AF1 and The Requiem - BRD AF2 to start this quest. This quest begins in the Merry Minstrel Meadhouse in Lower Jeuno. Talk to Mertaire, who says you should take your star ring (obtained in the bard AF2 quest) to an antique collector named Imasuke, who is in Port Jeuno near the entrance to Qufim Isle. Talk to Imasuke, and he says he can't identify the ring until you bury it in the Perennial Snow in Xarcabard. In Xarcabard, head to I-10 and examine the spot marked as Perennial Snow to bury your ring. Return to retrieve it after the next Japanese midnight. Take the ring back to Imasuke, who tells you the item is etched with an old San d'Orian language. He tells you to speak with Chalvatot in Chateau d'Oraguille. Chalvatot tells you to travel to Monastic Cavern. Head to I-8 in the cavern, where you find a room with orcs and an alter. Clear out the orcs, including the Orcish Warlord, a notorious monster which spawns there (the warlord is easily beatable with a few level-75 players). Then, examine the alter, and the notorious monster Bugaboo will appear. You do not have to be a bard to pop the notorious monster. After you defeat Bugaboo, check the altar again. Then, return to Chateau d'Oraguille and talk to Chalvatot, who will reward you with the Choral Justaucorps. Quest SeriesThis quest is part of the bard artifact armor series. See the list below to find out which quest comes next.

I finally got my BRD to this level, so I decided to try and do this quest. I tried to recruit some help but people weren't really available, so I decided to give it a go solo.
THF/NIN is my only 75 melee job, and WHM my mage, so I didn't really have a lot of choice. I geared up THF and headed out to dance.
I decided to go for the "train and re-zone" method, but I was pretty sure I'd need to kill Warlord first, as I didn't fancy a Bugaboo Sleep-ga pop with the NM still up.
I headed to NM camp and as expected he was up. I popped a flee and trained the zone up the path to the Davoi zone. I waited a few seconds and zoned back in, and the NM was already at the bottom corner heading back to his room. I shot him and pulled safely back to zone.
Just to give you some stats here if you are thinking to try yourself, my evasion is capped (276 on THF) + I wore the following (for eva purposes) - OHat (+10), Scorpion Harness (+10), War Gloves (+5) so I was just over 300 evasion, which most jobs would probably find tough to get to (but not impossible). This said, he hit me over 50% of the time, so his acc is pretty good. Hits were around the ~130 mark (I'm Mithran, def was around 180 or so). Crits reached ~330, which when he uses Blood Weapon is a bit of a pain.
Also, with capped (230 on THF) Marksmanship, Bloody bolts only proc'd for around 16-50HP max (compared to normal ~97). I thought I could use NPC in Monastic so I didn't bring any potions, and unfortunately, you can't. Had a bit of a sticky spell when I found this out...!
Luckily I won, but I ended the fight with 18 HP and a lucky evade (shadows were on /recast). This is actually a fairly hard fight, although I could have been a bit better prepared (ie. potions).
I then rested and headed down to the altar room, cleared the rest of the mobs, and popped Bugaboo. I'd already popped a poison potion as I knew about the Sleepga pop, but instead he cast Waterga III (maybe Blizzaga III, can't remember). Obviously, this ripped shadows down and took a chunk of about 550 HP off me (no shell or stoneskin on THF/NIN) and I didn't have any pots of NPC... I managed to get shadows back up, and then proceeded to bloody bolt him.
... or so I thought. Again, I'd forgotten undead can't be BB'd... I somehow managed to win anyway, he's very weak but his casts are quite fearsome. Also, he cast ice spikes quite early which I wasn't able to dispel (no spells) and I got para'd a few times, but it seemed to wear off quite quickly. His drain hit, as people have noted, is pretty fierce as well, ~200 per hit on me + the drain effect.
Overall, these are both fairly tough fights, but if you go prepared, you should be ok. I can only presume its a walk in the park on BST or RDM/NIN.

I just did this quest solo as 75 NIN/WHM. The big problem I had was only with the the Warlord and his Dreadnaught buddy that hangs out in the altar room. On my first try I tried just to take them both on. That left me running to the zone. On my second attempt. I ran in the altar room popped Bugaboo and trained everything to the zone. I quickly zoned back in and was able to fight him at the zone. Bugaboo himself is a fairly easy fight. If you're level 50 you will certainly need help. But as someone already with another high-level job you should be okay.

I went to solo Bugaboo as smn 75/whm 37. When I get there, surprise surprise.. Orcish Warlord was up so knowing how hard he is .. I took out good ol' carby and dragged him and a train of orcs to the entrance nearby. It takes me 30-40 min to solo him using carby. I meteored him about three times. . twice times at the beginning and once at the end. I kept diaing him right before I zoned, when carby is about to kick the bucket. I go to bugaboo camp at I-8, kill the one orc that was there, rest, phalanxed with diabolos, popped a poison pot. It was windsday, (yay), so I called out garuda, pop him and he aspirs me first thing. Garuda can tanks this like a champ and I didnt even 2 hour. Note he does hit very hard and you want to keep Stoneskin and Blink on. (very important). 2 Garuda, 3 predator claw later, and this solo was a success. I had about 200+ mp left and he never slept me. I did go into yellow hp once when I had to recast garuda again. Before garuda did the 3rd predator claw, she was almost dead. Note: you will get hate for putting up blink and stoneskin so please walk a little ways behind garuda when recasting, that'll give her time to intercept Bugaboo.

Found a pick up party in Jeuno just as I was on my way to get the last C/S for this mission in Sandy. I join up, get a SAM73 and NIN70 to help the two BRD59s (including moi) to beat this NM.
It was cake. The hardest part was having the aggro of the Orcish Warlord before the fight, especially since he linked a Dreadnaught. Even then, not too difficult. Bugaboo was a snap and I quickly, and easily, dispelled his Ice Spikes on the first finale.

I got some help from an LS buddy, a person that helped me with my AF2, and a random person. Bard 52, Red Mage 75, Warrior 75, Thief 63. We defeated the NM and another orc without too much trouble. I ran up touched the alter, ran back and he casted Bind on me. Casted Sleepga twice and only the Warrior was up. He got down to around 52 HP before the Red Mage got up and casted Cure IV on him. By the time he was defeated and I was still asleep, bind wore off about a minute before the end of the battle, and it went well (for the most part). Escaped, and made it to the garden and got my AF body! WOOT!!! Not too bad of a quest and did most of it all on my own.
Stupid people are like Slinkies... they really don't do anything, but they put a smile on your face when you push them down the stairs!!!

Poped this, it casted thundaga II, killed it right after he got spell off. Had a whm with me but this thing died before she could heal me. This is easily soloable by a 75, as long as you can solo warlord to clear the area.

Orcish Warlord and Bugaboo were a breeze to kill with the party I went with:
75 BLM x 2
75 WHM
72 PLD
67 WHM (me, the person with quest)
I think the PLD fell into the yellow once, but that was the most damage we took. In and out in about 10 minutes, if you include resting time between fights.

Bugaboo duo-ed with NIN75 and BLM75 (both played by me). His endrain isn't 100%, only hit me once. He resisted most enfeebles including stun and silence, so I had no chance getting rid of his magic. He casts up to Stonega III, but most hurting was Blizzaga II for 450.
Anyways, he isn't all that hard. Somepage lists it as level 63 and that seems to be about right.

I just duo'd this as 75 sam/war with a 75 whm/blm.
We got there and killed the two orcs, warlord and dreadnaught, without too much of a problem. Whm rested up and I built TP and then I popped it. (whm barsleep'd before pop and poisoned pot'd) It popped casting blizzaga II and then proceeded to sleepga right after. The whm, luckly, was not asleep long and cured me ( was in the yellow after the bliz). Anywho, I gekko'd it and then meditated and gekko'd again, and it was down about halfway, so I figured I would just toss up my two hour and finish it. however, it was spamming curse and blind. I missed one ws on two hour, but the last two killed it np.
Overall, it was pretty easy. Allah doesn't know the lvl but it cant be higher then 55, it was pretty weak.

I'm a decent BLM75 with above average gear but I couldn't solo this ghost.
Basically you must clear the room first, the Dreadnought and Warlord. I solo'd the Warlord within 4-5 nukes, easliy. The problem is the ghost's "Endrain" which ignores Stoneskin. Stoneskin took the physical damage but the additional effect drain was doing 200ish per hit. I had 880ish HP so after 3-4 hits I was pretty much dead.
I came back with 2 RDM, 2 BLM and a MNK. Of course it didn't stand a chance, but I noticed it had high resistance to enfeebling magic. Hope this help.

I just did this on RDM and I didn't notice an Endrain effect going through SS. Also, there are posts of 200 Endrains? Um.. his Endrain never broke 20 on me, I even tested it by dropping SS once, his Endrain did 18. My SS took about 6 or 7 hits before he could break it.

1st:

73 DRG
59 BRD (me)
We get there and realize that the Warlord and Dreadnought are there..><. We take them on none the less and win rather easily. The drg, however, rushes things a lil too much and spawns Buggaboo as soon as we defeat the two orcs. It starts out by using Stonega III. We all hit yellow and battle pretty much goes downhill from there.
2nd Try:
73 PLD {same}
73 DRG {same}
58 BRD (yes 58, I delvl'ed but got it back after defeating him)

74 RDM
Yeah, the whm and rdm came to tractor and raise us. After all the weakened stuff was taken cared of, we get back into the fray. Warlord and Dreadnought respawn, we take them down. I spawn Buggaboo and we literaly raped it. DRK did SATA Crescent Moon on the damn thing then the WHM uses Hexa Strike for a Light SC. Yea..owned. So, now, I got my armor and I show it around. lol

I remembered helping a BRD do this a while back and that it was pretty easy fight, so I decided to solo it today as NIN/WHM.
I nearly died while Paralyzed and Sleepga'd with no shadows up. I got drained and had a little over 200 hp left, took a hit for 100 damage and got shadows back up. I disengaged at this point,Divine Seal-Cure III, and I was back in business.
It's not too hard to solo other than the almost constant Paralyze and the Sleepgas which leave you vulnerable with no shadows and no way to recast.
Main things I'd recommend to NIN wanting to solo this. Bring a couple poison pots and use those in case of Sleepga. Remedies would be nice if Paralyna is taking too long to cast but they aren't necessary.

Ok, just wanted to post this up here because when I looked @ this thread I thought this would be a nightmare... this is for people who do NOT want to take the Warlord
From what I had read I was fairly sure we could not handle the Warlord, although now I think we probably could have, this was the set up
Nin/war 64 (me)
Brd/whm 64 (gf)
War/nin 64
Rdm/whm 64
Whm/blm 70 (our help)
we got there and cursed our luck when we saw the warlord, then we set up camp in a nice little hallway right off from the room before the throne
we pulled the orcs in the adjoining room, then grabbed the Dread and killed him. Up to this point we were dreading pulling the warlord, but we were preparing for it. At this moment I got a phone call and was completely distracted and I knew tanking a mob that would probably kill us would be a bad idea, so I went into thethrone room with the Brd, and she popped the ghost, and we walked back out, no aggro.
Due to Orc ambush (no orcs in sight when we set camp but they came up behind us and started aggroing O.o) the fight wasn't as easy as it should have been. WHM and RDM exhausted mp, rdm had to convert and 2 hour to kill the last orc that had aggroed.
In the meantime, with the ghosty dropped, the bard ran back into the throne room, gotthe CS, and ran out. No warlord :D so if anyone has a party who can't handle him, just avoid him... yes everyone should know how to dodge aggro, even bards XD goodluck

Did this in a fun way: 65RDM, 75WHM(me), 57 Bard
WHM solo'd the Dreadnaught and then the warlord with a little help from BRD and RDM (refresh/ballad/slow/para, you know, normal debuffs) then popped the Ghost.
WHM tried to tank it... But when blink/stoneskin wore and was being drained for more damage than we could do, decided to change strats: Gravity, RUN!!! and nuke while running around the room. Proved quite useful, with Banish III's doing 550+, and the RDM's spells doing a bit as well (damage filter was on, dunno how much he actually did). Finally the Ghost was dead, and my friend got her cutscene!
;.; now I have to go back and do it again for my bard. *Cries*

Monastic Cave is in H-11 in Davoi, if someone need to know it
i just did this for myself and a friend :D
- 69 pld (controlled by me)
- 75 whm (me)
- 75 whm
- 67 blm
- 60 brd
i'd say the nm is much much easier than the warlord that you gotta kil be4 the fight. but warlord wasn't too bad with the set up either. jst the pld goes down to low hp quite frequently.
then we built tp and popped the nm
the nm fight was pld opening with spirit within 300tp. then hexa strike > black halo, the light SC itself wasn't very strong (one of my hexa strike did 58 dmg T.T), but the MB from blm can deal over 1k dmg. so after the SC the mob was down to 50%, some more hits and another SC came up and blm finished the mob with another mb. pretty easy.
note: this nm isn't like the whm body nm or some other body piece where you hafta kill it once per body AF you need. after one kill all bards can go and get the CS.
hope this helps

Just did this with help from two kind people. Thanks Kaisiera (74nin) and Kenje (69sam)! Made our way to the cavern, invis'd up and went to I-8 for the altar room. Warlord was easy, as well as the dreadnought. I noticed a RDM posted dispel didn't work. I was 59 bard at the time and my finale took the ice spikes right off bugaboo. Battle lasted about 30 seconds, omw to get the AF now.

Just found out something helpfull. You don't have to wait a full RL day to get the ring back, just untill after midnight JST on the day you burried it. Similar to the RDM AF boots quest. Good luck, and I hope this helps.

This guy can be Duo'd by pretty much 1 tank and 1 support/DD easily. He could be solo'd by a nin or rdm if it wasnt for his ice spikes. He seems to be immune to silence and heavily resists dispel and any ice magic.
That said... pain can add up rather quickly if you arent careful. My 75 blm took 150-250 HP drain per hit. While a rdm with +34 dark resist from w.legs and joyeuse only got drained for around 20-50 HP so it might be a good idea for any PLD or non-blink tanker to get some dark resist gear. (keep in mind rdm has natural magic resist so a pld might want more than just +34 drk)
My buddy and i just duo'd him yesterday both of us were lvl 75 rdm/nin and a blm/whm.
Here's what you do:
Have the tank buff up, including phalanx if it's a rdm tank, and train all the orcs to the nearby zone. At the same time, pop the NM and have the tank also aggro the NM by casting a small magic on it...
Now the second person uses invis and follows closely behind the tank. At lvl 75 a tank should take virtually no damage from any of the EP orcs. A rdm with phalanx takes about 0-20 dmg a hit. The RDM will zone out leaving the orc train to turn around... at that point, the blm will pull the ghost and rdm zones back in. Now you can duo the ghost safely away from any orcs.
Slow lands easily and will make it very easy for any nin or /nin to tank it. BLM can nuke high lvl nukes and zone in and out to lose aggro. Mob dies fast..

This quest is a lot easier than the description makes it sound. The first section is easily soloable, and at the level you'd need to be in order to do this quest in the first place leaves you with no excuse not to. I went with 8 members: three 50-60 bards, a 70ish white mage, a 70ish paladin, a 70ish thief, a 55 dark night, and a 70ish ranger. Getting to the room with the warlord is easy as long as you don't get aggro (which is easily avoidable with invis or a high level). Once you get there, the warlord isn't easy, but he's not exactly hard either. Once he's down, we rested up to full health and one of the bards popped Bugaboo. We slaughtered him like an ant; the battle was no more than 20 seconds long.

This task sounds a lot more daunting than it actually is, I suppose. Story goes, a good friend of mine is planning to quit, because FFXI just hasn't been very kind to him of late. One especially big kicker is that in 11 attempts to do his bard AF3, none were successful (rather in gathering or executing, i assume most were just trying to get people together). So, as a farewell gift, me and another friend decided we would attempt to get a group together, right then and there, to get this damn AF3 done. Hellbent on revenge against an NM that is causing us to lose a friend, a 72 Paladin(myself), a 75 samurai, and a 62 bard head into Davoi. To be honest, I was expecting to wipe, but have one last kick with a good friend in the process. We camped by the zone back into davoi near I-8, took out all the orcs one by one, and eventually moved into the throne room and took on the orcish warlord, who, despite what i was expecting, really isn't that tough. We rest to full, pop a poison potion each, bard 2hrs and hits me with ballad x2, and spawns the NM. Bugaboo wasn't doing a lot of damage per hit, but he did it very fast, which kind of caught me off-guard. Kept cures up and stayed alive as long as possible, and Samurai wiped it out with a Meikyo Shisui Light chain -- i don't think i even built 100 tp by the time he finished it up.
Reading about this af, it sounds like you'd need a huge group prepared for a crazy fight, so, make sure you read the posts under it(which, incidentally, you're doing -.-). Could probably do this very safely with a competent, balanced party of about 6, but that's not to say an unorthodox trio can't take it on.

Just killed him now. I was in the area skilling up and we happened to be near the alter so we went over and killed bugaboo. He was actually easier then most of the skillup mobs we were fighting but does hit hard, and pretty fast too.

This thing opens with Sleepga II, so having a DRK or BLM ready to stun it would be helpful.
Also, it resisted my Elemental Seal + Silence so I wouldn't bother. (I'm a 74 RDM).
All that being said, it wasn't that bad of a fight. We had eight people, and myself and a 71 BLM did most of the damage with elemental spells (I used Chainspell - Fire III). Everyone else was between 58 & 65, including three PLD's (we had just done PLD AF3).

ok my party setup was :
lvl75 Monk
lvl68 White Mage
lvl61 Red Mage
lvl58 Bard <me>
lvl51 Thief
First try: No success getting to altar got aggro and escaped 2 people died
Second try: It worked!!! Monk 2hr = Warlord <death>
3 links from outside the altar room, slowly getting dangerous, after clearing the immidiate area we rested quickly and i poped NM ghost
Ghost was relativly easy but hits hard, so cast any BLink spells possible, VERY LOVELY QUEST
TIPS FOR THIS QUEST:
Bards should solo the prereq. for this quest so that they only have to do the killing in the with the party
Party should bring 2 invis/sneak potions
At least one 75 lvl Melee class should be present to relieve rest of party
Use sleepgaII + E.Seal and Horde Lullabys if link
and be carefull youll get aggro so BLINK BLINK BLINK

There are actually 2 Orcish Warlords that spawn in Monastic Cavern. You want to go to I-8 to find the Altar to force Bugaboo to spawn. You do not want to go to the Orchish Warlord that hangs out with the Orcish Hexspinner. That is the wrong location.

Six linkshell members and I went to Monastic Cavern, cleared out orcs, fought Orcish Warlord, fought Bugaboo and I obtained my cutscene at the altar for AF3. The group level range went from 57BRD/28WHM (me) to 73RNG/36NIN. Had this finished in under 20 minutes and it was a complete cakewalk. No casualties and one of us even got a Davoi Chest key, opened one and we all received 5500 Gil for our troubles.

I just did this, so here's my account.
We had me (I went as 70 RDM, to be safe, and yes, you can do this with another job) and the samurai train all the coffer mobs to the zone, while the others killed whatever remained, and the True Sight NM there.
Before the train returned, we spawned the ghost, and demolished it. Of course, we had an alliance of 16, 12 of which were lvl 70-75, mostly 75, though. Complete overkill. Then we went to do Windy 8-1 by storming the shack, and got our butts kicked by Blizzga III and Firage III. -.-;; But it's still a good way to get people to help you, is look for windy rank 8 people. ^^

Basically you go to I-8 in monastic caverns, not the area where the orcish crest is as my alliance found out. We all figured that the Orcish Warlords were only their but we were wrong once again.
The alliance walks back to I-8 in the first part on monastic and clear out the orcs. We killed the warlord easily and destroyed bugaboo. No deaths. Party consisted of 12 people, most of which were level 60. Both NM's were easy to kill and died in under a minute with no one close to death.
I recruited people for limit 3 so its not like we wasted time going their, just the mass confusion of having no freaking clue where to go. I ended up scouting around and found the altar in the little room at I-8 on the map after I had run to davoi and rezoned to monastic caverns.
If your a bard and am having trouble finding help for this, I made friends with 3 other bards that all needed this quest and got four people their artifact gear in one run. Two two weeks of planning since bard population is soooo low on the Siren server just to get everyone on at the same time. I am very happy, done with AF now woot.

Did this tonight. Had an alliance. First we did my af3, then we got 2 keys and then we did pld af 3x, as well as get testimonies.
A high level killed the warlord before we went in. We did lose some people and had to raise because they got aggro when invis wore off before we got there.
Believe it or not after about an hour of fighting to get keys outside, we came back in to fight the warlord because someone needed an item he drops (some testimony). He went down without much of a struggle. I think its because we had fighting down pat by then (in an alliance)
Yes, we had two blms - casting fire. I cast fire threandy and ice carol. As well as the other kool songs we have.
Don't be afraid of this nm, just be prepared.
We had:
1 rng
3 drks
3 pld
2 whm
2 blm
1 brd
1 smn
and I can't remember what else was in there.
Hours and hours of finding keys after I got my fight done, and then the pld af. Now that's a hard fight cause it spawns TWO nm's. A pld and a ranger.
I have to go back to Sandy now to complete it, but I'm very happy that was done.
We had a mix level - mostly level 50's with some 60's and 2 70's in there.
*I died while helping with key
*Pld died while helping to get key and running to warlord 2nd time.
*whm died while we were getting key
*rng died when invis wore off near warlord first time
*drk died when someone hit the nm pld too soon. (he deleved back to 69 - was he ever pissed)
*War died when helping with key
So casualites yes, but we did so much that compared to that, it was not so terrible.

Mob was a cakewalk to kill. Took in a single PT of 63's, killed it with guillotine >> raging rush. Guillotine did ~350, RR did 750 + 550 SC damage. The BLM's III-level spell didn't even have the chance to land.
I don't see why people make it out to be such a tough mob.

Uhh.. maybe because you have to kill this guy to wear a level 58 piece of AF. Sure, if you want to wait 5 levels before going after this it might be a cakewalk. ><

Bring at least two BLMs to fight Bugaboo! We had an alliance of 13 with 56-61 lvl character (mostly 58-60), but no nuking power due to the fact our BLM DCed and didnt come back. We even had someone to lead the Orcish Warlord away (DO NOT FIGHT HIM!) so Bugaboo was the priority. Its HP drain ruined us and we really missed the nuking on it. Without multiple BLM its hopeless, for us the fight was not possible as it took so long the Warlord made his way back and we escaped with Bugaboo sporting full hp even though we had him down to half at one point. This is not an easy fight like some have said. Four hours wasted on a few tries and need to get an alliance together once more. Least I know what I am looking for now. ^^

Allright the story behind this is pretty funny actually. There was a bard, a queen, and a king. The king liked the bard because of his songs. The queen also liked the bard..... And the bard liked the queen. So they cheated behind the king. Then the king found out he killed the bard and he was buried in eldieme necropolis (u meet him in AF2). But they leave the queen alive. She dies soon however. And the two rings they made are now suppose to be "reunited" in monastic cavern. lol ppl get buried in weird places
Ok, I just finished this, and it was heck. I'd like to help out some bards who will be doing this piece in the future.
First, you have to get to davoi and enter through H-11, I believe. Find the only area in I-8; This is where you need to go. Hopefully, as you should have a total of 11 others allianced 58+, you have enough invis to go around. This is a pain. There's a horde of orcs between you and the altar, and everyone has to slip by.
We entered the Altar room. Here there was a Notorious Monster (Orc Warlord, who sees through invis so BE CAREFUL) and a Dread. We went in as far as possible, 2houred on the Warlord while I took care of sleeping the other fiend. We took a couple casualties, one being me, but beat it. Neearly 6 minutes later, I spawned the bugaboo, and we killed it with much more ease than the Warlord. Return to san.
I guess all I have to say is that if you're going out on this mission, make sure you have your invis plan down, it's important.

yeaaaaaaaaah there's more to it than that so I'll rephrase a bit.
You get the ring from the ghost of a bard during AF2. When you come back to talk to Mertarie he'll say you should take it to an antique collector, namely Imasuke near the entrance to Qufim. He says he can't read it and that you should bury it in Perinnial Snow, I-10 and VERY obvious on the map lol, bury it there and you have to wait a real life day I think(I buried it and more or less forgot about it). After you dig the ring up, you take it back to Imasuke, he tells you the language is old San D'orian and that you should find someone that can read it. That would be Chavalto in Chateau d'Oraguille. He sends you to MONASTIC CAVERN which is a zone within Davoi. From there head on to I-8 but be careful the Orcish Warlord spawns in the same room as the alter and he sees through invis. Your alliance will have to be ready for this, and to clear out a lot of orcs around the area. You will need sneak as well, I think they're raku to 70s, but I'm not entirely sure. After you clear the alter room, one bard(if you're doing many) has to examine the alter, ghost pops aggro'd on him, and there you go, Bugaboo pops. Right off the bat it cast Ice Spikes that was actually hard to dispel. It took three dispel tries total from the three of us with dispel to do it. We did it with a two pt alliance, with lots of 60+s and was pretty easy. A 62ish war died, that was all. I hope this helps more than the description above ><

Another helpful detail to keep you from panicking, you do NOT loot anything to do the quest as the above description suggests. Instead, check the altar after defeating the ghost and then return to Chalvato and HE will give you the coat.
