Description

Found across the ocean from Cape Mazklah, beyond the Sicklemoon Straits, Mount Zhayolm is an active twin volcano that rises from the islands of Vozold and Zazalda. Home to the Troll Mercenaries, the Halvung Territory was once recognized by Aht Urhgan as an independent state of the Empire. The constant rain of volcanic ash combined with occasional emissions of sulfuric gas have created a wasteland almost completely devoid of plant and animal life--an inhospitable land that saw very few travelers before the emergence of the Astral Candescence and the ensuing struggle.

Points of Interest

  • To open the Gates of Halvung, first examine the gate and then find a ??? on the ground in the zone. You'll receive the key item Cast metal Plate, which lets you open the gates.
  • Rare and valuable Khroma Ore can be mined in this zone.
  • Parties around level 70 can gain experience points here.
  • Black mages can solo great experience or limit points on Ebony Puddings or Wamoura Princes.
  • The notorious monster Cerberus spawns at I-8.

You have to check the Gates of Halvung then go look for the ???. I tried to check the gate then try to look for it the next day. It didn't work.

So what I'm saying is as soon as you check the gate go find the ???. Don't wait til later. i found mine at the South square of J-8 by the cliff.

I just thought I would give some clarification on getting your gate key. There is no waiting required or anything. If you find a ??? and it only gives you a message about a piece being loose, that's the wrong ???. I can't remember its exact position but that is a permanent ??? for another quest. FFXI Atlas has all the spawn locations for the correct ??? so keep looking for more and you'll get your key. I found mine south of the staging point at the southern end of the bomb/fly open area.

Shoger: The way that quest works, if my memory serves me correctly, is you check it the first time and get a cut scene. Next you have to trade a pick axe to the ??? and you should get another cut scene. They should talk about the pickaxe not being strong enough or something to that extent. After that cut scene, i believe you have to zone or log out(your pick, either way should work) than you have to trade a mythril pick to the ???. These run about 10-20k on my server but if you plan on spending alot of time in the zone, the map is a must. After the following cut scene you should be rewarded with the map.

DragonkingonValefor: Just in case you were wondering, you can also mine up all the Moblin gear, Troll Vambrace(sp?), Troll Pauldon, Khroma Ore (800k -1M on Lakshmi), Demon Horn (20k), and Bomb ash (whoopie...) Just in case you were wondering.

MaatHatter: The way to get past the big doors, is you need to search the area for a ???. There are probably 2 in the area, one is for the map quest and does not move, but the other is for something called the Cast Metal Plate. This ??? moves around the area. You can find the points for this by going to www.ffxi-atlas.com. Just find the correct ??? and check it and you will recieve the key item "Cast Metal Plate". This is the key that will let you through the door. It is a key item so you dont have to trade it and it will never go away. Once you have it, you have it forever.

on my travels to get staging points I found a ??? and got a cutscene about a troll loose/break his pickaxe so he can no longer dig.

Anyway I heard this is for map- you just trade a pickaxe to the spot or is there more?

I looked around and found no info-

Zone into Halvung on the west side of Bhaflau Thickets (about halfway up the map) and cast Escape. It'll put you near the manhole cover you target to start your map quest for Mount Zhayolm and near the ??? for the Finding Faults quest if you chose Trolls.

Good luck!

ok went there and fringing found a Cute scene at L-6 u need a pickaxe for the next one. Then something else and safe zone and warp zone at K-6-7. Ok to get threw that gate there's a ??? mark and will give u "Key Item".U must touch door 1st to get item and cannot leave EX. Die and come back get it. ATM for all u going as your 75 and think u can kill all the monster. I saw a whole party of 75 get killed by one. Sneak works most of the time and you probably need invisble by the bombs and pugil. Atm havlung most aggro by sound again except trolls.Troll aggro by sight too.. Also Nm or HNM probably the better word is threw the gate and threw the Fortress name Cerberus. Hope this help u out guys and girls. P.s. My boy Elyrc Help me out with all this and we r trying to getting Khroma ore so he can make his polearm that's why we r here.

Yeah really... I was in there for an hour running the twists and turns. To me seems like I would level BLM to Escape to that area.
