Mission Orders

The Rites of Succession will be held at the cathedral in Northern San d'Oria. You are to report there for guard duty.

Walkthrough

First, talk to any gate guard to accept the mission. Once you have accepted the mission, head to Chateau d'Oraguille to receive a cutscene.

Now, form a party and head to Fei'Yin. Upon your arrival, you will receive a cutscene. Once you have finished the cutscene, make your way to Qu'Bia Arena. Buff, and enter the shimmering circle. The battle is divided in to two parts:

Part 1: In the first part, there are 11 enemies -- 10 orcs and 1 Orcish Warmachine.

Upon first entering, the PLD will need to round up all the enemies so that the BRD, BLMs, and RDMs can sleep them. Because there are 15 enemies, there is a good chance that AoE sleeps will miss one or two, so it is important to have backup sleepers. The orcs all go down quickly, so our strategy was to kill them first, and work on the Orcish Warmachine last.

IMPORTANT: leave one of the weak orcs alive and slept. Once there is only that orc left, the mages should cure everyone and rest to full. Once everyone is rested, kill the last orc--that will trigger the transition to part 2.

Part 2:

For part 2, Prince Trion will come to fight along side you. The fight is against 3 tougher orcs ...

If Trion dies, then you lose the fight, so the WHM's primary responsibility will be to keep Prince Trion alive. Each Orc will use his respective 2-hour. The general order that you want to kill in is BLM >> DRK >> PLD. Unfortunately, Trion will choose whatever he wants to choose, so if he goes off to attack another orc, everyone must immediately drop what they are doing and focus on the one that he chooses to fight. He likes to spam Savage Blade, so the only real challenge here is keeping him alive.

Once you have finished the battle, head to Chateau d'Oraguille for a cutscene, then head to the door in King Ranperre's Tomb for another cutscene, then finally back to Chateau d'Oraguille to complete the mission and receive Rank 10, 100,000 gil, and a San d'Orian Flag (furnishing).

Once you have completed the mission, head back to Northern San d'Oria to receive one last cutscene.

After you pick your prince and are told to report for guard duty, zone out then zone back in and you get the CS.

PT Setup as Follows

75 Pld/war (CK)
75 Thf/Nin (Blaine)
73 mnk/war (Fury)
72 whm/blm (Spunky)
73 Blm/whm (Blm don't remember name)
61 drk/thf (Me)

Okay so we zone in and CK vokes the ranger rounds them up and Ele Seal Sleepga 2 all sleep but machine and rng. CK and Fury take ranger me and Blaine take warmachine. After that 1 by 1 easy as pie. 2nd part, Zone in start on Blm trion fights drk gets killed we lose. Stupid Princes should stick to politics. Next try same deal for the first part and with ease. Next part this time Trion cooperates and fights blm, drk is sleep. CK is kiting PLD. 300 tp Guillotine was enough to keep the BLM asleep for us to rape it....now onto the Drk. Easy enough, I know how to kill drks and absorbed dex and int barely ever touched blaine (he has a habit of tanking things don't ask why) still Easy. Now onto the pld. He pops invincible just as Fury pops 100 fists so there goes that. I didn't bother absorbing but I did aspir and drain him once for something to do while Invincible was up. Invincible goes down, Asuran Fists goes off, then Savage Blade, then Dancing Blade and I'm like wtf as he falls down dead. Rank 10 baby. The same set up went in again with a 65 thf/nin replacing me with no difficulties whatsoever. Easy enough fun times. I was however expecting a better CS though!

We had to do it twice because we were with a seventh person who had accompanied us for 8-2 and 9-1. Both times were very easy.

BLM70(me), PLD74, RDM70, RDM69, WHM69, DRK68.

The second go the RDM70 was replaced by the BLM62.

Both times we pulled them ES+Sleepga 2'd and killed the machine, then killed the orc that you can't sleep (the ranger orc cannot be slept for whatever reason), then picked off the rest. Trion went after the Warlord in the next fight each time so I just opened with ES+Sleepga2 on warlord and we killed it Warlord, DRK, BLM (Backwards, hah).

Either way it was very easy, but I should point out that I am BLM/RDM so my spells hit off at 65%, and I kept Phalanx up which meant that the monk orcs were hitting me for *0* every hit (my Enhancing is capped, -24 per hit). I believe a taru BLM/WHM would've been eaten alive on the first wake up, but that's me.
Wow... Easy

This fight is easy as all hell, our PT set up was WHM SMN NIN RNG MNK PLD. All melees /NIN of course, SMN/WHM, and WHM/SMN. At first we tried to have Shiva Sleepga the Orcs, but they all resisted. ._. We thought we were done, but our NIN had run in to grab all aggro at start, and he easily tanked them while myself, the PLD, and the RNG pulled individual orcs off and soloed them. Our NIN was only 74, btw. The first orcs have ridiculously low HP as well, took only a few attack rounds to kill them as MNK75.

The NM orcs were surprisingly also pushovers, the PLD occupied the DRKorc, the NIN took the PLDorc, and I used Hundred Fists and took the BLMorc. Well, the BLMorc died in 2 Asuran Fists, about 20seconds into HF. I then switched to the DRKorc, and he went down just as HF wore. We then took the PLDorc all together, who was admittedly tougher, as I was hitting for 50/fist, compared to 100 on BLM & DRK orcs.

Wow.. so yea.. from what people say this is not as hard as it seems. You look at the description that says "10 orcs blah blah" our ranger hit one with barrage and almost killed it in 1 hit.

The main orcs die fast.. making the fight really fast.

The easist way to do the first half is:

PLD run in with protect 4 and defender.

Get aggro from everything in the room and run back to center.

BLM runs up and Elemental Seal > Sleepga II.

Kill the machine first, it will cast magic. So kill it first. (First spell he casted was curaga II.. so he needs to die first lol)

One problem we had was the RNG orc wouldnt sleep. So we just kited him while the PLD BST and RNG killed the machine.

Once machine is dead kill the ones that resist sleep. Then go one by one following the PLD's lead killing the others.

Leave 1 last one alive and rest. (We didnt really need to do this but yea we did to be safe..)

Full rest then kill last orc. You will freeze and watch another cs. Then get put into another BCNM fight with 3 more orcs.

Problem with this fight is Trion does his own thing. And yes, he can switch to diffrent orcs when ever. What we did was sleep the left hand man orc (yes they can be slept) and have the BST pet fight the right while Trion played hop-scotch on the others. PLD BLM and RNG worked on the orcs as me and the other RDM kept Trion alive. (Which was so easy, he barley got hit.)

Anyway.. our setup:
75 PLD/WAR
75 RNG/NIN
75 BST/THF
75 BLM/WHM
75 RDM/BLM
75 RDM/WHM (Me)
(I think we were all 75? Meh.. we owned it anyway..)

But, its not that hard. We all agree'd that mission 5-1 with the skeletons was harder lol.

When your finished the BCNM you get CS's in this order:
- Goto North Sandy : Get CS
- Goto Chateau : Get CS
- Goto KRT : Get CS
- Goto Chateau : Get CS, Rank 10, Flag, and 100k

For KRT, goto the door you did the mission where you fight the 3 skeletons at for a cs about the sword again.

Personally, after getting rank 10 and finishing the story, I dont really like Sandy's story. Kinda boring basing it around a sword. You never get to actually use it anyway, so how are we sure its this "awsome" sword.

It could have been better, and it could be worst.. but yea, seriously not the best.


Only 10 orcs

I didn't notice this mentioned yet, but it's important to know that there are only 10 orcs in the first round of the battle, not 14. So that makes 11 enemies total, including the warmachine. Math, yay! :P

Slept the last weak orc with Sleep Bolts so everyone could rest.

Too easy. 60THF and I didn't miss a single bolt.

Got the deathblow at the end with Dancing Edge too.

just did this one with some friends that stuck together since 8-1 took 9 people and did it twice
all members lvl 70+ both times we entered the BC basic party setup was PLD BLM BLM RDM RDM DD (SAM 1st round DRG 2nd) 1st phase kill RDN and warmachine sleep rest and pick them off till down to 1 sleet it rest up and buff then kill it off. 2nd phase just go after the orc Trion chooses ans sleep the other small one/s and blm kiting main one best he could. 1st party won only 30 seconds longer than record on unicorn server. 2nd party beat it 4 mins earlier than record Guensu was party leader atm. we were not trying to break the record either time just beat the mission.

The guide tells you to go to the chateau to get a cutscene after accepting the mission from the gate guard. Just to give people a heads up (cause I found out the hard way) you will get a cut scene when you talk to the king. After that initial cutscene you will be zoned right in front of the chateau. You have to go back in for another cutscene before heading to Feiyin. Also, just a tip (Laela found this out) Trion can be buffed on top of healed as previously stated. Fun fight ^^

can someone help me do this mission im a 62war/nin on cerberus i know im kinda low for it but i really wana get this done so i can get that flag and the 100k
also for this you can have a normal Pt set up like Nin/Pld to tank Blm Whm Rdm and then 2 DD for it have the tank round up the first wave of orcs then blm sleepga II them kill the warmachine first (make sure its silenced cause it Curaga II to wake up the rest) then after he dead just kill the others in any order. For the second part i dont got a really good strategy cause our blm died right at the start try to ES sleepga II hoping it will stick then kill what ever orc the prince goes for NO MATTER WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY STICK WITH THE PRINCE IF HE DIES YOU LOSE!!!! and if you lose you gotta do it all over again. (for the first part i forgot to mention that keep one orc alive so your pt can rest to full and then kill it then go right into the next part. If you can do that you might win.
If you can help me plz tell Wiseman on Cerberus
So much fun

I thought I'd share my experiences. I had a few friends I started doing 8-2 with, and by the time we got to 9-2 (we didn't expect to) we had nothing but mages left.

With a simple strategy of just sleeping and nuking we went in with this setup:

BLM BLM BLM BLM RDM WHM.

After we got everything slept we nuked the war machine. This was probably the hardest part of the battle, because every time the warmachine cast curaga all the orcs would wake up and have to be reslept.

Then we started picking off the orcs one by one. That was a mistake, because Thunder IV could solo them. We thought, why not just cast Thundaga III the whole room?

After a few -GAs here and there we ended up with one orc left, the ranger. He seemed hard to sleep, and took a few tries. After we rested up, we killed him and proceeded to the next phase.

Trion did not attack until we made the first move. We decided to attack the PLD type orc wearing the gold orcmask. He was not too hard and we just bounced him around a bit with gravity.

Trion didn't get much of a chance to get any hits in. =/

I hate to sound like some proud blm who took the easy way out, but I can't help having a lot of mage friends XD rofl. We got the record 12 minutes, but we would have finished it earlier if we had a better idea of what to do. Very fun bc. :) I wish I'd had fraps installed.

hi everyone

did that before 3 weeks ( had connection problem so i couldnt post it XD )

PT setup as i remember

THF/NIN 67
WHM/BLM 74
BRD/WHM 75
PLD/WAR 67 ( i think )
DRG/WAR 67 ( i was lvling with =P )
??? ( forgat the last person XD )

will... we went there as 2 pt , so the whm74 can help the other pt after finishing it with us.

buffed up before the fight , brd sleep every orc ( we didnt know that the Warmachine can curaga XD ) and we pulled them one at time , brd main job was sleeping them .. killed them all fast , sleep the Warmachine ( i know its not right but it works ^^; ) when ever its a wake , sleep again , healed to max hp mp and killed it.

2nd stage , first we couldnt move until the orcs buffed up, trion went straight to lift hand , so we attck it until its dead , whm keepo trion healed and brd tryed to sleep the other ( dont know if its land or not ) then trion did something crazy , he attacked the right hand then changed target to main orc, that makes the hulf the pt fighting the right hand and the other hulf the main one , brd couldnt sleep any, whm dead , RR , dead again , right hand fall then idk what happen but PLD fall ,trion tanked the rest of the fight until brd fall after getting aggro by healing , trion tanked the rest of the fight

me ( knowing the DRG and SC with him in exp pt) was getting TP a,d waiting for him to get his , he started the SC and when i i did SA i read:

Trion was defeted by Warlord Rojgnoj

everyone was : Nooooooooooooooooo

i paniced and used DE instead of SB ... but it killed him..
gat the CS and finished the mission

it was timing that saves us and my missed WS XD

the other pt fall 3 times , first 2 the Warmachine was over-curaga them so the couldnt make it to 2nd fight although there setup was better

GL again to everyone doing this fight ^^ , even if trion dead, if you have WS , 2H anything that do damage do it before SE system understand that he is dead ^^;

I beat this friday night with 5 other great people on Cerberus:

72RNG/NIN
73DRG/THF
73SAM/THF
75NIN/WAR
71BLM/WHM
75RDM/BLM

We all went in and nin voked the warmachine as blm and rdm slept the other orcs. We scattered some so some of the sleep missed, but it was no problem. War Machine went down fast as we had a ton of DD, blm didn't even nuke.

As soon as they woke they all went after the blm and got him to down to about 50 hp.

I quickly soloed the one attacking him with barrage and slug shot then ran back to the others.

After that is was really easy, rested up and kept the last one alive. I can't even remember the next part because we killed them so damn fast.

Very fun mission and I'm proud to be from Sandy.

It has been a fun time and can't wait to complete Zilart and CoP missions.

i would expect it would be the same as other missions:
-when you have a BCNM type fight only members on the mission or who have completed the mission are allowed in.
-when it's a fight in an open area anyone is allowed to fight.

Too Weak BCNM, didn't get a single hit by all the 15 orcs attacking me when going into the bcnm.

Easily cleared with:

Sam 73
Whm 75
Drk 70
Rdm 70
Blm 70
