Mission Orders

On the Star Sibyl's command, you are to head north to the ruins of Fei'Yin, somewhere on the Beaucedine Glacier. There, you are to confirm whether the final seal is doing its job.

Walkthrough

Speak to a gate guard to begin this mission. You are needed at Heavens Tower. Head upstairs to the Star Sibyl's Chambers for a cutscene. You will receive the key item: New Fei'Yin Seal. If you cannot receive the seal, make sure your rank points are full and try zoning out of the tower then go back to the chamber again. This quest cannot be completed without the seal!

When ready, head to Fei'Yin either by going through Ranguemont Pass, or by getting a Teleport-Vazhl if everyone in your party has the crystal. It is recommended you have a map or a printed map as Beaucedine Glacier can be a very confusing maze to navigate.

When you zone into Fei'Yin, you will get a cutscene. After the cutscene, head to (K-8), where you will find two dolls and a Cermet Gate on the east wall. Head to the gate to find Qu'bia Arena. Some mobs aggro to magic and many others aggro to sound, so it's recommended every party member bring their own Sneak Oil.

You have 15 minutes to defeat Archlich Taber'quoan and his minions, the Ancient Sorcerers and Ancient Warriors. Everyone must be on this mission or higher or they will not be able to enter the battlefield. Once you defeat the Archlich, the battle will end and you will receive a cutscene and a key item: Burnt Seal.

Return to the Star Sibyl to finish this mission.

Update Notes

As of February 14th, 2011, there is no longer a level cap restriction on the mission battlefield.

Battle Notes

Buffs cast outside the battle will wear off upon entering, so do it inside. The Ancient Warriors keep spawning, so focus on the Archlich. You only need to defeat him to win. The minions are easily slept.

I've helped many people over the years do this mission. Personally my favorite method is finding one good galka monk with lots of merits to solo the main NM, or 2 average good monks, while i go along as a whm or pld.. they dont need much healing very few times have i had to toss them a cure.. 2 galka mnks with hundred fists - merits - good gear.. fictory is won before 2hr wears off very quick smooth and easily. I've got to do this mission again soon as i started a new character on ramuh.. gonna look up some ole galka buddies once again lol

Alright, my rank points are full and I've already seen the cutscene. I talked to Halver, but he wont give me the seal. I zoned, and he still wont give it to me. Even ran to Ronfaure, logged out, and when I got back to Halver he STILL didn't give me the seal. I'm above level 45, and I even checked my Key Items just to see if I somehow got it. If anyone knows what's going on, please respond as soon as possible. My linkshell is going to be doing missions 5-1 and 5-2 tonight and I'd like to join them. Thanks!!

I'd also like to mention that whenever I speak to Halver, he says the following:

"We shall begin immediate discussion on a policy for action. Zyre, you must work on improving your skills and equipment."

I'm pretty sure he doesn't mean I need to go level some more and get new equipment because I've got pretty decent gear for my job. I'm assuming he's just saying this, and doesn't actually mean for me to go out and get level some more.

Nevermind! I figured out the problem.

Turns out you gotta go talk to the knight you get mission assignments from before you have to talk to Halver. My fault completely!!

Other Nations and Setup
# Sep 06 2006 at 2:24 PM Rating: Decent
Ok, although I didn't look around much, I'd just like to point out that you
    DO NOT need to see Halver
    if you are not from San d'Oria.
The quests seems to say that you absolutly need to speak to him, but as a resident of Windurst.. I only needed to talk with the Star Sybil. She'll give you a key item and you can be off!
Ok.. I had the weirdest party setup.

RDM/BLM
RDM/BLM
PLD/WAR
BLM/WHM<-- Almost no gear
DRK/THF
and me DRK/THF (me)

And we won the first time! Although 3-4 members died from bad hate management, we still won. Circle Blade from PLD(to kill minions), healing from RDMs, nuking from BLM and dmg from us DRKs killed him. So, I'd just like to say it's very possible to win with weirdo parties
:-P Good luck to you all![u][/u]

Go to Chateau d'Oraguille and you'll have a cut scene, than speak with the mission npc, Now you can speak to Halver to take the key item New Fei'Yin seal.
Seal Problem
# Aug 30 2006 at 1:39 PM Rating: Decent
Hey, got a question -


I talked to the bastok guy who gives missions, and he said I was on Darkness Rising. Then I went to Chateau de whatever and talked to the king, but nothing happened. My rank points were not full at the time I "flagged" this quest, so I traded in some crystals. Then I look throught my key items, and I see New Fei-Yin Seal...It has been almost a year since I flagged this mission, so I can't remember what I did. Is the Key Item "New Fei-Yin Seal" what I need? or is it something else?

Well let me tell you...when I first did this mission for myself...it was easy. Now having seen a bit more and being the leader of HonourGuard, I planed a LS event :) to set out and get Rank 6 for some of my members who needed it.

I will...swallow my pride and say we failed a couple times but, Hey! third time was the charm.

Here was our set-up RDM (me) WHM, MNK, MNK, PLD & PLD.

The battle plan was that yours truly ran in there and kitted all the little ones while the others beat down on the big one...the 2 MNKs used their 2hr and so did the WHM and :P it was quite the job kitting those little skelles but I think the PLDs used thier 2hr too ^^

I also used my 2hr to help heal and keep stoneskin up.

I am now proud to say that the third time we succeeded...and!!!! we beat the time record that was 3 mins and 12 seconds.

Our time was: 3 mins 5 seconds :D

/hurray for HonourGuard where we value our members and help them without hesitance :D
Smoked!

I was gettin ready to log after a boring night, untill a tell comes my way asking if i wanted to do Rank 5.1. Well, i was hesitant at first cause the last time i did this, the party friggen sucked. So i ask how many they have, they said 4 that's all we need. I said yea right and brought along my PLD LS member who needed it too.

PT Set-up: MNK,DRK(me),PLD,PLD,WHM,BRD
Plan of attack: PLD run in..**** everyone off, voke, Invincible, and pound the hell out of the Archlich!
Outcome: Smoked in 4 mins (56 secs off record on Ragnarok) Woulda beaten the record if i didn't have to calm everyone down when the BRD was wanting to sleep everything! Which he tried during battle and nearly died..Told ya so!
lol

this fight was EASY!! let me repeat EASY!!! my pt setup was mnk/war x2 war/nin(me) brd/whm(no gear) rdm/whm(no gear) before we enter we buff up use food brd uses ballads, then paeons get in, run until the archlich mnks use 2hr 3min later we win.. the server record was 3:08 we did 3:09.. :(

Different Approach

Hi, just thought I'd give the way my LS (NewDream) and I did it. Well, we went 4 BLMs a RDM and a RNG. Didn't sound like much of a fighting chance huh? Well, we did it actually, and it was really quite nifty if thats the right word. Well, anyways, this is what we did:
1. Everyone nuked and killed the sorcerers first, get them out of the way first if you want a fighting chance at least.
2. BLMs(me included) -aga at the same time and devastate the minions and sorcerers at the same time. It works really well.
3. Once the sorcerers are finished, the RNG focused on the Archmage guy, while RDM healed the RNG and kept refresh up on himself.
4. The BLMs during all this are taking turns nuking the Warriors/minions with -agas and when they aren't are healing to get MP. Its really easy to do this once there are 3 minions up.
5. Have one BLM if u wish help nuke the big boss guy. Nuke until dead, and stick a fork in him, 'cause hes done. Enjoy the CS.

Hi, I'm Rizzle on Valefore

Did this last night with
RDM/WHM
RDM/BLM
WHM/BLM
DRK/BLM
PLD/WAR (me)

the Sam that would come couldnt enter the battlefield><
So, strategie, the mages take out the minions, the melees take out Archlich Taber'quoan. good stratetgie? not. the mages were running all over the place chased by minions with their hp in red. the DRK begins to do ga-spels. but gets so much hate that even invincible didnt get the hate back. and he died.

Then the PLD used circle blade, and three minions died. another three died of a ga-spell. now we were winning.... but the mages were outta mp. So they rest behind the Paladin, so he gets all the minions, that die insantly with circle blade. and Archlich Taber'quoan was only hitting the PLD fre 9 too 12 damage!
so... after 11 minutes and 22 seconds we won.

now, whats my point? A good paladin can hold of the minions and Archlich Taber'quoan with ease. So, let him stand in the place were the minions spawn, so he gets all the agro and kill them all with circle blade. And the mages can nuke Archlich Taber'quoan with spells
Party

I've gotten the cutscene but when I talk to Halver he just says "keep improving your skills and equipment." I'm a WHM52 with full rank points, and I've rezoned, but with no luck >_> Can someone tell me how to start this mission?

I just had this happen also. Go back to the gate guard that gives you the missions. Choose "Ruins of Fei'yin". That should do it.
