Summary

The spirit of Curilla's father Rainemard seems to be trying to say something.

Walkthrough

You must have completed The Crimson Trial - RDM AF1 and Enveloped in Darkness - RDM AF2, and activated Borghertz's Vermillion Hands to obtain this quest.

Start the quest by speaking to Curilla at I-9 in Chateau d'Oraguille. She will ask you to continue your investigation on what had happened to Raimenard, her father.

Next, head to K-6 in Southern San d'Oria and speak with Sharzalion. He says in order to communicate with a spirit, you must throw an old coin into the fountain in the ruins of Fei'Yin. Fei'Yin is located on the far north end of Beaucedine Glacier.

Head to Fei'Yin. Entering with the quest activated will cause a notorious monster ghost named Miser Murphy to spawn at H-8 on the first map, in the room with the large fountain. Head to the fountain room and kill Miser Murphy, which drops an Antique Coin. Trade the coin to the point at the north end of the fountain, also in H-8, for a cutscene.

After the event, return to Southern San d'Oria and speak with Sharzalion. Then speak with Daggao, the Galka down by the stage to the right. Daggao says he found a strange box in Garlaige Citadel that could possibly be opened with a Nail Puller.

Head to Garlaige Citadel. You need at least four people in your party to get through the first banishing gate. Just past the gate to the left is a room with an oaken box. Clear the room, then examine the box. A notorious monster called Guardian Statue will spawn. Kill the Guardian Statue and it will drop a Nail Puller. Trade this to the oaken box for another cutscene.

Return to Northern San d'Oria. As soon as you zone in, you will receive a final cutscene and receive your Warlock's Chapeau.

BRD + BLM 75 can duo both NMs with lots of kiting. ^^

BLM alone can solo both the NM's. I just did it. Murphy is easy to solo as blm. I just gravity'd him and thunder IV'd him til I got to the entrance, Bio'd him, zoned and rested my MP then came back in at about half MP and finished him off. The doll was a little more difficult. My strat on the was to bind and gravity, then Bio II and Poison II, then run way out of range and Sneak myself and heal. Then once bio was about to wear off, I'd run back and repeat. It took about 30 mins to solo him. I never had a single grav or bind resist at 286 Enfeeb skill. One thing to note though; if you are doing this for a RDM friend that can't take the hits very well and will get agro from kiting, just leave them at gate one and tell them not to heal you or anything. Best to keep them agro free.
repeatable?!

If you do repeat this quest, you are required to pay an NPC a rather large amount of memory to blank out your memory (erasing your quest log?)

And no, you cannot have two hats, they are Rare/EX, you'd have to toss one before you were awarded the second.

^.^
Wow, Statue was rough!

I just finished this quest and finally got full AF on my RDM. Well, will be once I get him to 60 (lvl 58 right now).

Miser Murphery was cake. I just got a lvl 75 MNK/NIN friend of mine to solo it. Had to throw out a few cures for him, but for the most part he took it with no problems.

Guardian Statue was another story. I got into a 14 person Alliance to do a Skill Up / Coffer Key Hunt in the Citidel. So I say "Hey, while we got an alliance there, can we kill the guardian statue for RDM AF3?" Most people said "Sure, I'm always up to kill things." So we went for it. Had few mid 60 plds, a 60ish whm, a 75blm, and the rest were mid to upper 50s.

So we go after it, and this thing is tough. Even BLM -aga 3 nukes barely hurt it. After about 10 minutes of chipping away got its life down to about 3/4 gone. Then it throws out 3 AOEs in a row and kills half the alliance (myself included). Plds, Blm, and whm survived though, and ended up BARELY killing it. Whm raised me first, and I got the nail puller! Luckily I was the only rdm who needed it, because theres no way we could have fought it again for someone else.

And FYI, do NOT hit the Oaken Box again after you win, like you can with some other Quest NM fights. I did that accidentally while trying to trade the nail and respawned the statue. Killed me again and a few ppl. It disapeared after a few minutes of no one fightin it though. Whm came back, rasied me again, and I traded it the nail right. Then we proceded to finish out skill up, got keys for everyone who needed it and I raised a few lvls in Dagger and Sword ^^ ended up losing about 2k from deaths, but it was worth it for the hat. Good trip all around, and I got my hat to boot. yay!

So, my advise if you can't get an alliance to do this, try to hop in with a Garalaige Citdel key skill up and ask them to kill the statue too. Worked for me ^^

After having the first half of this quest done for about 1.5 years I was talking to someone im my LS and they said I didn't need to be RDM main to spawn this.. Well..

I didn't even think about it the 50 times I leveled BST there before but why not? there are higher level pets in there(beetles, bats)
So i went in, popped the Guardian put CC on him (jug pets are not the best bet here[unless you are higher than 65BST]). I brought him down to Gate #2 using up every bat between gate 1&2, at that point he had about 95% HP left so i took one of the Slimes at gate 2 (BST's favourite pet ^^b) and put it on him.
The strategy for the rest of the fight was;
Blink, Stoneskin, sneak, rest MP
when the slime has about 10% HP use sic from far away, you do not want to get any added hate
release, charm the other slime and run away from the gate putting your pet on him.

It was a pretty easy fight.. not taking much damage once i got to #2.

I would strongly recommend not doing this if you get blood agro or any agro in general for that matter, otherwise any level BST that can reliably charm the slimes should be able to solo this without much trouble.

(for the record it took me about 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 hours to kill) BST65/WHM

Just fought the doll with 55rdm/blm (me), 55whm/blm and two 74nin/war. Fight was not that bad, although I took some major damage from the AOE attack. Just recast stoneskin and cure IV'd myself and it was back into the battle. Recorded most of the fight although I don't have a place to host it for you guys >.>... Fight ended without much trouble at all.
not to bad

did this last night with a few LS peeps. Had a 70 nin 67 rdm and a 59 rdm<-----(me). I had done MM earlier with another party, so we just did the doll NM. Cleared the room and i popped it. NIN had no trouble at all, he hardly even got hit. went into the yellow once from its nasty AoE attack that wiped out everyone's shadows and stoneskin and hit us all for bout 300 damage. just kept haste up,enfeebled(which never stuck) and thru out the cure III when needed and everything went fine. easy fight,long,bout 10 min., but easy. The NIN was the only one to melee as to cut down on the TP mob gained. Got scary for a sec when the bones re-spawned, but we mages kept em slept till NM was dead then we mopped the floor with em.
just my experience with this fight.With a 70 NIN fight =(Too Weak)

NIN tank is the way to go on this
# Aug 10 2005 at 3:25 AM Rating: Decent
I just finished this quest. Not as hard as every RDM i talked to made it sound.

Ok here is what i did. For the Miser fight i took a 75 NIN/WAR and a 55 WAR/MNK with me 60 RDM/WHM. I suggest the whm sub for this part as the ghost has "Physical Damage Effect: Paralyze" and it happens alot. So no matter what type of tank you have he's going to need paralyna. At the start buff up, and rest for mp, then haste the tank and have him pull the ghost into the hallway. This way if anyone in your party(like our 55 War) might get agro from inside. Also the Doll type mobs in the room/area wont agro your magic. Miser Murphy died in about 3 mins.

The guardian fight on the other hand is slighty more complicated. For this you are going to need a second healer unless you want to convert. Which with the AOE i dont reccomend. I had the 75 NIN/WAR again, and a 65 RDM/BLM with me. Sub doesnt really matter on this one as he has no real status effects save a slow effect. If your not sure your tank can handle it... i suggest blm sub for chainspell + escape. Setup= Clear the room of Skeletons, then have tank at door of the room ready to pull along the wall so the healers can stand near the banishing gate OUT OF AOE RANGE!!!. Touch the box, tank vokes and does his business. Keep them buffed and healed, and you'll be fine. Take turns getting mp between healers(Yes, even with two red mages we still had to sit) this is a necessity because the Guardian Statue does alot of damage despite shadows. His AOE didnt do alot of damage on its own, but it did drop the shadows long enough to get in a couple hits. took about 15mins to finish him off. The NIN got into orange once but that was at beggining of fight and he didnt know which attack was the AOE. Once he got into groove he didnt go below the white in his hp bar.

For all those out there i suggest a 70+ tank preferably NIN or /NIN(make sure they have Utsusemi: Ni). Then just keep them on their feet and you'll have no problem.

PIMP HAT!!! d<(O.O>b

We beat Miser with a NIN 70 tank and 54 whm/blm, 53 rdm/blm (me), 53 brd/whm and a 67 thf/whm who was subbing whm to handle their cloister of ice. It was an easy fight. Sleepga was annoying, but we finished without any real problems.

I've tried shouting in Jeuno for a total of 6 hours at various times of the day. I'm desperate, so i thought i'd try posting here.

If you also need to do this quest or would like to help out, please send me a /tell in-game. I'm Mileena on SYLPH server. Thanks in advance to anyone who helps.

could a 57rdm (me) and a lvl 75pld/nin duo either of these? i ask this because it takes me over 2-3 hours of shouting just to get 1 person to help with these things, i really dont wanna get an alliance.
My little story
# Jun 19 2005 at 7:00 AM Rating: Decent
Damn just got me hat tonight and boy I tell you it was a long trip. All I can say is….make friends, make friends, make friends. Here is my story.

Part 1 Miser Murphy:

This ghost is a pain in the a@#. I went there with a full alliance (levels 59-63). We went there for both Redmage AF and White mage AF. This damn thing was all over the place. And its drain spell = >.<. All and all we beat this think like 5-6 times. (Word of advice), make sure you know the Redmage’s your doing this with. There was a Redmage in the party who had not activated the quest, lotted on the coin, and won. Since his quest was not activated. Miser Murphy stopped popping so one Redmage got left out >.<

Part 2 Guardian Statue

Don’t believe the hype. This thing is a push over. Went there with a PT of 4. 75 Ninja, 55 Monk, 59 Redmage, and me 63 Redmage. I was in Jeuno shouting for a level 70+ DD (you can have this), 100k for about 30 mins. The Ninja BIT$&…. Slapped this thing around no prob. Could have done this with just him and me. (Word of advice), rent yourself a Ninja for this part of the quest and just keep him hasted and cured.

G-Luck
Easy!

18 lvl 55s? 12 lvl 60s?
# May 19 2005 at 10:45 PM Rating: Decent
yeah so i came into this fight thinking we were all gonna die because allakhazam said fight this NM with 18 lvl 55s or 12 lvl 60s. here was my party:

RDM60/BLM30
RDM58/BLM17 --- me
BLM60/WHM30
BRD70/BLM35
PLD66/WAR33
RDM63/BLM31
PLD52/WAR26

After 2 months (shouting in Jeuno doesn't help cause ppl don't like fighting Guardian Statue and I know why now)I finally have my hat. Murphy was easy thx to my friends(props to Reelik, Nomadin, Ayther, Ryden, & Kojo) but Statue was the real challenge.
Went with my 2 66BST friends(Ree & Nom) and my 59BLM friend(Voodoosorc for Escape just in case O.~). Ree & Nom charmed and moved the 4 Acid Grease to the stairs around the corner from where Statue pops. When they were ready I pop it and Ree pulls it back to the stairs and the fight is on.
They each sent a Grease on Statue and when 1 Grease was down to about 40-50% health 1 of them would switch out for a fresh 1. They used this method back and forth to keep the Grease close(since they tend to wanna wonder back to where they came from) and it gave them a fully healed one everytime they needed to switch out. After about 1 hour 15 mins(wow)Guarding Statue is down and I get the item I need to finish the quest. SWEET.
Note that you can only do this with the Acid Grease(due to their high def) everything else in area is too weak cause Guarding Statue is a bad ***.
Props to Ree & Nom. Not all BSTs are bad.
Yet another good use for PLD...
# May 16 2005 at 7:52 PM Rating: Decent
For the Doll, get a high lv PLD who has staff skilled and RDM sub (like myself). I'm lv73PLD/36RDM and I just used Kinkobo to DD and kept Phalanx up. I used Spirit Taker when I had TP and he went down pretty easily. All in all, not too bad. The WHM and RDM got aggro from bats/undead at some point and had to pay some low lvs to let them back through the gate (they escaped), during this time I had no trouble entertaining the mob. n_n

Well, I went and dis Murphy today, wasnt as bad as I thought he would be, but that was because I stumbled accross an alliance of 75s farming out there. Lucky me. Now I've been trying to get the Guardian Statue for a couple days, and I am getting tired of trying to find help, its not working for me ><.

Went in to fight the Guardian Statue with 75PLD, 75SMN, 62SMN and me (60RDM). We almost were mopped up by this thing, Only thing that saved us was my convert at the last second and Cure IV the PLD and SMN as they were both in the red. That turned the attention to me, and I had to solo this thing for the last 10%~ or so of its life. SMN saved me at the last second with Titan and Earthen Ward. :D

Close, but we won. At the end everyone was in the red as far as HP goes, and no one but me had any trace of MP.

Ok decided to do this the other day as 59. Got a few peeps together to go kill e Murphy. 6RDM 1 BLM and 1PLD. Didn't work out too well. Sooo I decided to call in a frined. LVL75SMN.....wow what a piece of cake that was.

SMN soloed bothe Miser and the Doll. All I had to do was enfeeb and refresh. 45mins later I am one have richer^^.

So to all those out there having trouble getting a pt together to kill these NMs, don't fret. It turns out there are alot of SMNs willing to solo these mobs to "test" their abilities.

FYI:
Miser Murphy fell to 3 fenrir's and one Carby
Guardian Statue fell to 4 fenrir's and a few Thunder castings.

also that cockatrice was there Skewered Sam. Owned him to for the lance^^

Have fun all.

Good to hear that someone thinks this is (TOO WEAK)...lol. When I started this game and chose RDM I really had no idea as to all the possibilities we were given. What a glorious choice it was. The first time I hear about AF gear I was with one of my higer lvl RDM buddies(Vujaud--my mentor) and he was wearing some dope gloves and boots. WOndered what they were and asked and was explained the whole thing. SWEETNESS

I reached lvl 55....and stayed there for about 2 months >.< Couldn't get an alliance together to do G2 when I was on, and had to step away from FF for a while. Upon my returning(two weeks ago) I got an alliance together(luckily)and have been non stop since, lvl58 now and every AF cept' for the piece de resistance>>the PIMP HAT<<

I am on Titan rather frequently now that I am back and would love to get an alliance or party together to go own Miser and the doll. So if your up for it and wanna help out a fellow RDM let me know. It would be greatly appreciated. I am also up for helping others with their needs as well. So if ya need me [HOLLA]

Yay!

I'm only 58 atm, so I can't equip it yet... but I got it a couple of nights ago :) w00t! Went with the following party set-up:

58RDM/WHM
58RDM/BLM
58DRK/WAR
58PLD/WAR
58WHM/BLM
68DRK/WAR
75NIN/WAR
75RNG/NIN
75RDM/BLM
75WHM/BLM

Sounds like overkill, right? On Miser Murphy... it TOTALLY was. He was a complete push-over. We actually had two deaths on the Guardian Statue though. First time through, it was cake. When we fought it a second time (for the second RDM) we almost got pwned. I don't even know what went wrong. But one thing is clear.... DRK's "Arcane Circle" ability helps a LOT. Bring one with you :) Oh, and if you have Stoneskin... use it, and keep it up at all times. He spams AOE **** that does MUCHO damage. You're immune if you keep it up, which means less MP for WHM/Healers.
