Summary

Investigate reports of a ghost in the cathedral.

Walkthrough

You must be at least level 50 and have completed The Crimson Trial - RDM AF1 to obtain this quest.

Before starting this quest, save time by buying a Velvet cloth from the auction house.

Head to Chateau d'Oraguille and speak to Curilla. She gives you the key item Old Watch and directs you to the cathedral in North San d'Oria.

Enter the cathedral and go down to the basement, and talk to the priest in front of the large piano. He'll ask you to bring him a Velvet cloth. Trade him the cloth to receive a cutscene and receive the key item Old Boots. After the cutscene, go back to Chateau d'Oraguille and speak again with Curilla.

Next, head to Crawler's Nest and farm a Nest Chest Key. Mobs that drop the keys include Blazer Beetles, Exorays, Hornflies, Labyrinth Lizard, Mushussus, Rumble Crawlers, Wespes and Witch Hazels.

Once you get a key, find a regular treasure chest. On the second map, the chest can spawn at I-8, G-9, H-7 and H-8; or on the third map at I-8, H-8, G-7, H-9 and G-9. Trade your key to the chest to receive Crawler Blood.

Note: You must go back to Curilla after obtaining the Blood, to trigger another CS before you go to bury your boots.

Next, use sneak and head to I-10 on the second map. After sneaking past a scorpion, you will find a ??? in the middle of the corridor. Examine the ???.

After the next Japanese midnight, return to the ??? and examine it again to receive your Warlock's Boots.

SOOO happy! I buried my boots last night. Now I just have to check the ??? when I get home tonight (I'm at work now). I did have the help of my wonderful LS friends Shapelesschasm & Pyke (TY guys!) :)

The best place to search is the level where the soldier crawlers are that's shaped like a donut. I checked the little room in the middle but missed the chest (or maybe it respawned). But later Pyke found it there, and I was able to open it without the 3-4 Exorays turning on me! O.O

I can't wait to wear them, but oh well guess I'll have to wait 2 more levels. And it will take even longer if I don't get my limit items!

RDMs ROCK! :)

Hey nice tips from everyone here. Took me about an hour to find the chest and when I clicked on the ??? to purify the boots it let me do it. Now its just a waiting game. Even though ATM I am only 50 I still want my boots early ^_^

If you keep getting the message "Someone has been digging here.", from the ??? even after you got your crawler blood, the problem is that you did not talk to Curilla again.
I had this problem and I asked a rdm friend of mine and he said thats what I needed to do. I did it and it worked. I hope this will end some other fustration other redmages have.

You can't have 2 Rare items. Either you have 1 Chest and 1 Coffer key for Crawlers nest, or you're making stuff up.

Like as others said on here, the hardest part of this quest was finding the treasure chest. Took me 3-4 hours to find one. In the last hour, one of my LS buddies came there to help me. He took one chest spawn section and I took the other and we just waited for a pop. The chest I got spawn on the side where you bury the items.

Chest was a pain, I helped my wife find it. I Was looking for a coffer myself for RNG. Ended up finding the chest and coffer on the pain in the **** map with the dragonflies and wespes.
OMG!!!!!

OK, I was looking in the big room with all the soldier crawlers too and I NEVER found a damn chest so I feel your pain. I found a few treasure chests down below, I kept looking around. I ended up getting one in the scorpian room.I dont know, there are too many ppl in the big room to find anything and almost all of them are greedy and prolly wouldnt tell you if they did see a chest ><
So I would suggest, not spending too much time there at all.Take a look down stairs, thats where i got lucky .
OMG!!!!!

Hahaha wow im retarded... i talked to a friend on my LS and decided to go talk to Curilla again and bingo. Don't mind my idiocy and thanks for tellin me what was up.
DOH!
# Oct 26 2004 at 7:35 PM Rating: Default
add another notch to the "I forgot to talk to curilla again tree." btw when you get to the question mark it will prompt you to bury the boots / the crawlers blood once you do that then is the point where you need to wait till jp midnight or later to get your now purified warlocks boots
If you forgot to speak with curilla the second time it says the "someone has been digging here" line

going to get my last 200 xp to use the boots when i log in on decent challenge soldier crawlers after jp midnight ^^

I was in crawlers nest clicking the ??? wondering why nothing happened
oops

double post... sorry
wtf ???
# Oct 24 2004 at 11:47 AM Rating: Default
I am also having the same problem, every time I click on ??? is says "Someone has been digging here." I have the quest activated and both key items. I've also zoned and come back in. If someone has any idea on what to do please say so.
My only thought is that it is about 1:45AM in Japan, maybe it's too close to the last midnight? I don't know, it's the only thing I can think of.

Ok if someone knows whats going on with my game i'd like to hear what you have to say. I'm a level 50 rdm, i started the quest got the boots, got the chest in less than an hour of looking for it, and found the ??? When i click on the ??? it says it looks like someone has been digging here but doesnt let me bury the boots. I'm a high enough level and have the appropriate items so what's the problem... (im clicking on the ??? right after the scorpion and the puroboros.)

I'm having the exact same problem. I am a level 51 rdm and I have the boots and the crawler blood, but I can't do anything with them at the ???. Any suggestions?

# Oct 18 2004 at 10:06 PM Rating: Decent
well, as a lvl 53 rdm/blm, i went (by myself) to get this quest done. hp set in jueno, have my key(continuously checking my inventory cause if i found the chest and no key i would be pissed). with no map of cn, i just do the running around hitting tab method of finding the chest. keeping sneak and invis on is not too hard, but that being said the first two attempts ended with aggro, so i was forced to sleep and warp. on my third attempt, i went up the same path that you have to check the ??? on, and found it while up the path next to 2 exorays. use my key, VICTORY!! i got my blood, and proceeded to aggro both the exorays. sleep 2 one of them, sleep 1 the other, and warp. go back to cn, and traded my junk to the ???. now it's just the waiting game for my new boots to be purified. so thus i eagerly wait. good luck with this guys, i thought it was gonna be much harder then it was.

Well, got the quest alright, went to CN...looked for chest...had the key for about 8 levels now, and just stuck it in mog. I looked...and looked...and looked...after about an hour I had the map memorized with all the spawn points. I was in the CN for another hour, and I checked ALL the spawn points three times after I memorized them. Someone must have got the chest or somthing. Just my luck...Oh well, trying again tomorrow :)

wowa this mission was a pain in the ***!!!
The quest is perfectly explained above, so what did i have difficult with u ask? finding the damn CHESTS. arg.. I had been saveing a key since level 45 so that was no issue.
My server however "bismark" is fairly populated and there were other peps looking for the chests as well. There were no kididng people camping at certain spawn points. Well anyways to make a long story short- after 2 deaths and 4 irl days of looking for the chests im on my way out of CN. well im in the large room with the flys that connects to the rummble room, secret room ect, when a chest pops RIGHT in front of me. i couldnt believe my luck. Now i just havta wait for midnight japan time to get ma boots ^^
The only suggestion i can amke is DONT take a friend to help u that doesnt have sneak or invis (unless they are a super high lev) I brought my lev 60 pld friend ta help me and seriously like everything would agg him and we'd havta fight the monsters after his sneak wore off. took soo long. ; ;
