Mission Orders

Rescue the children held captive in the Orcish camp in Ghelsba Outpost.

Walkthrough

Begin this mission by speaking with a gate guard in San d'Oria. The guard sends you to talk to a priest in the Cathedral in Northern San d'Oria. The priest is Arnau, found at the altar directly opposite the entrance to the Cathedral at (M-6).

The orcs have captured some children and are holding them in Ghelsba Outpost. (You can buy a map of the outpost in town.)

Exit town to West Ronfaure and head northwest until you reach a path leading north into a cave (E-4) to Ghelsba Outpost.

The children can be found at location G-9 of the map. When you open the door, you will get several options presented to you. Take the first one. This triggers a fight with 3 orcs, so you need to be in a group. Defeat the orcs and you will get a key which you can use to open the door and release the children. Go to the gate guard for a cutscene, then back to Arnau for another cutscene.

NOTE: If you redo this mission you will get a new cut scene to add to the storyline.

14WHM, 1 Potion, so-so gear

Just completed this as a 14WHM with no sub, uptodate armor, doublet, comp eye circlet, light solea for evasion and Lgn Staff.

Bring a couple of potions if you are still nervous, I did, probably would have survived without them.

No blind, tho it would have helped, Dia'd the chief, and meleed him to death with a couple of Banish's for good measure.

Make sure you get some TP outside, by level 14 most around the hut are Too Weak, so no worries about aggro.

By the time I finished the chief I had used a single potion (didnt heal myself as getting interrupted) and had enough TP to take off around 30% of the Ranger class Orcs HP. Meleed the first, and used Banish and Melee on the second.

Overall, probably could have done it a few levels earlier, my LS said I would get my *** whupped - well, I guess I just proved them wrong!

Good luck to any who want to try this, hardest mission so far, but if a 14WHM can do it, so can you ;)
Lol

Lol that was so easy, sorry i didnt post yesterday i killed them in like 1 minute or a little less but i hit them with critical hit or 80!!! lol it was easy thought it was going to be harder!
Yes, easy

Okay so I kept putting this one off, mainly because I'm lazy...
I went in as 17BLM/8WHM. Didn't get aggroed at all. Went in and blasted all three of them with Dia, then hit each one once or twice and then blasted them with Blizzard. Dead. 1 min. 25 sec. I don't know if that's good time or not but it was very easy^^
im going to this on my 10 war tommorow

I dont think i should have any problems with this, ill use a ryl. archer longbow, and main weopen as inferno axe, which my critical hit is 80-90 which would be good. I might eat a meat mitkabob (idk how to spell it but it sounds like it) just to make sure. But really i dont think ill have any problems with this.

Ill post back tommorow about the mission.

I soloed this Mission last night.

I play RDM with no sub or Remora.

When I got there I was level 10 and halfway to 11 so I killed orcs and lizards until I hit 11 and equipped a Bee Spartha. I then got my TP to 200% and cast Protect on myself and recovered my MP. I went in and I immediately cast blind on the fodder chief’s two goons so they couldn’t hit me as well and proceeded to take out the fodder chief. After that I took out his two friends while constantly casting Cure on myself to keep form dieing. It was close but I made it. And did it in about 1 minute 30 seconds.
Need help!!!!!!!

I undertook this mission at lvl 10, with no exceptionally armor. Purchase atleast 2 Potions, then fight some Orcs outside the hut for TP over 100%. Then Heal to almost full hp and mp. Your TP should be a little under 100%, but that will go up quickly. Cast Protect on yourself eat meat milkbabob and begin battle. Cast Dia on closest enemy and kill as you see fit. Overall Battle took me 1 minute 20 seconds.
No fear, WHMs!

:D That was fun!!

Just soloed this mission as a WHM 11 with no sub. (I just created myself a new character.) I must say, it was very fun! Went around killing orcs and got my TP up to 200 ish, casted protect and aquaveil, and after I rested I went in. The whole battle took 2 mins. and 29 seconds and I used 2 potions and a pear au lait (total cost of 4.8k, 3.8k if you count the 1000 gained after getting rank 2.) but it was worth it! So WHMs, no fear! Just stick these puppies with dia and whack away. And of course, WS when you can.

Good luck to all who try this!

I did this mission today with my lvl9 mnk mule for fun. I have to say that this is for sure one of the easiest missions in the game. I prepared for a tough fight, brought few hi-potions, pear au lait and squid sushi for food. I took about 200 TP and ate the sushi before entering the hut, after i was in i boosted about 3 times and used the pear au lait.
Then i lured the WAR orc with a pebble and used Combo immediatly, this took about 75% of the mobs health, then i hit it 3-4 times and it died. Then i just ran to the RNG orcs and killed them without any problmes, got few Hand-to-hand skill ups aswell.. did this in about 2mins. I lost little to none health mostly because of the au lait.

So if someone has problems with this mission (which i highly doubt), just lvl MNK to 9-10 and its a cake.
Black Mage Solo!

Did this as a Blm13, no sub, super easy even though I was REALLY slow with the spells. 2min 36sec i believe it was. Kicked my *** when i was Blm10 though, lol.
Who can help?

I was trying to help someone fight the orcs and i couldn't get in. We were in party together and they went, but i got message that it's shut. I'm rank 3 from Bastok.

Is it because my home town isn't Sandy?

With all mission BCNMs, you either have to be on the mission or have already done it or else you won't be able to join in.^^ So yeah. Because your friend wasn't on Sandy 1-3 and hadn't done it in the past, he wouldn't be able to help you.

think you have to be San d'Orian. i tried with somone from Bastok once, they were locked out.

Enemies

2 questions...

1. What are the 2 enemies? I know of the foddercheif, but what are the other 2?

2. What level would you suggest for a WAR to solo this?
RE: Enemies
# Mar 05 2006 at 8:06 PM Rating: Decent
1. They're archers, named... I don't know. One of them might be Strongarm something. They're not too hard.

2. Well, I just tried at lvl 10 with a WAR. I went for the archers first and died at the exact moment I killed the second one. But I didn't have any healing items or buffs, so with some of those, you could probably do it at lvl 10 or 11.

EDIT: I just solo'd it with my lvl 10 WAR, with only the help of one potion I probably didn't even really need. So it's cake ^__^

Ok, so I just came back to the game after a looong "break".

New character, no sub, no anything really. Went into the hut alone as a lvl 9 Mnk, boosted up, 2hrd and went nuts.

I won the fight with 13 Hp left, got rank 2 and lvld to 10 at the same time XD

I know that soloing this thing isn't such a big deal but wow, was it ever fun.
Party ? key?
# Feb 28 2006 at 12:20 AM Rating: Decent
I did it with my Monk LVL 12, and it was really fast.. but the think is that I dont remember who did i got the Key.. and some friends will made this mission soon.. and i wanna know this.. How can i get the key ?..

And BTW... can we party for this mission ? o mean when i try to open the door will the party fight with the 3 orcs ? or just player ?
Tarutaru Monk ftw!!
# Feb 21 2006 at 3:00 PM Rating: Decent
lol just soloed this as my level 12 Tarutaru Monk. Didn't have to break out 2hour, took less than a minute, hp got to 65 (169 full health), Combo quickly dispatched one Orc alone after the chief was taken down. Fun quest, neat cutscenes :3
dead or alive : taru
# Feb 18 2006 at 2:11 PM Rating: Decent
im a lvl 11 blm taru taru can i solo this ?
Easy!
# Feb 11 2006 at 3:17 AM Rating: Decent
I did this as a lvl 12 WAR and only lost 20 HP. And I soloed it! I dont know why you all are saying it's hard! I did it in 45 seconds as well.

Hint: Kill the Chief first (the only one not shooting arrows at you) and then pull in one of the Shooters without going near hem with whatever ways neccessary. That way you're only fighting one on one with each of them.

RE: how do i get to ghelsba?
# Mar 05 2006 at 12:51 PM Rating: Excellent
In order to get to ghelsba, you need to go to the corner of west ronfaure. just look at the map for the point of the map in the north-west corner of the area. after that, just follow some of the paths to find a large hut in area G-10.
