Description

Laisrean asks you to fetch an item for him in Sea Serpent Grotto. Make sure you have your Silver beastcoin, then enter the Sea Serpent Grotto from Yhutanga Jungle. Take every left you come to. Eventually you will get to an Ornamented Door. That means you're going the right way. Take a left when you get to the door. Continue down this path and take the next left you find. You will arrive at a room with a large puddle and a waterfall. Continue moving straight until you find an unmarked door. Examine this door until you get the message, "You see some silver shavings near the indent on this wall." Trade your silver beastcoin to open the door.

You will be greeted by some pugils when you open the door. Move forward without falling off of any ledges. When you arrive in the room at (H-8), hop off the ledge. Move through this path. You will get to a room identical to the one you just fell from. Keep going forward and you will arrive at the unmarked door to the treasure room. Examine the ??? to recieve the Sea Serpent Statue. Return to Laisrean with the item after the cutscene.

Due to issues with this page, I will repost my original post so that others may se it and benefit from it. I have edited this post to reflect the changes I found and the correctins I sent into Allakhazam for the quest info itself. so this should be 100% accurate.

****Notes on Fame and how I got it****
I did Yagudo Necklace quest ~15 times. Zinc Ore ~25 times and became a member of tenshodo ring. I did necklaces by emptying my inventory as much as possible and farming in giddeus till I had a multiple of 4 necklaces, come back and trade them in and repeat. For the zinc ore, id just wait until I had 15K+gil from whatever source. Ride a bird to bastok and buy ore off the AH till it got more than 350gil a piece and just kept turning it in. I didnt really keep track but I just did it till I felt it was enough then went to norg. After finishing all these scrolls quest, went to Jueno and did gobbie Bag#1, delkfutt Tower map quest and started the RSE quest(not finished). Oh and for me riceballs are 138gil in Neptune's Spire currently. Yes I know thats overkill but at the time it was hard for me to get to norg safely/consistently so I just kept doing the quests until I was satisfied. not to mention at that time no one really knew what the riceballs were supposed to be anyways.

Quest Starters
Laisreen starts Utsusemi:Ichi quest, he is found behind the 2 guild people in the first main room in Norg
Keal starts Tonko:Ichi he is walking around between the lady luck guy and the guy leaning next to a big post selling scrolls.
Washu starts Hojo:Ichi she is located in the first room on the left up the stairs (like your heading to the SAM quest guy).
Shivivi starts the quest for the Jubaku:Ichi scroll and she is located just outside the room where Washu is.

****Note: I would recommend setting hp in norg so you can warp back when you've completed each quest****

*****Easy way to get to treasure room for Utsusemi:Ichi w/o a map*****
Enter the Sea Serpent Grotto from Yhutanga Jungle. and go left, and STAY to the left, you will soon see an ornamented door. That means your going the right way. Take a LEFT when you get to the door(you cant go in it so dont worry about that). After you pass the ornamented door you will be traveling on a downward sloping path, at the bottom of the path stay to your left. You will then come to a big open room with lots of water puddles on the ground and a bunch of Sahagins, stay to your right a bit and you will come to a door. Which, when targeted will have no name, just examine it about 5-6 times until it says something like "You see silver shavings near the indent on this wall" Trade your silver beastcoin to it and the door will open.

You will be greeted by some pugils when you open the door. Take the right walkway(only way to go) and you will go up a steep incline, continue on through the next few areas staying as straight as possible WITHOUT falling off any edges. Soon there will be a drop off on your right, walk off it then keep going straight. There will be another drop on your left, DONT fall off there or you will be at the back area of the open room with the puddles as I mentioned before and will have to go back through the beastcoin door! You will now come to yet another stone door, open it and you will find yourself in the main trasure chamber, there is a sea monz in there that agros to sound (like everything else in here) the ??? is the second set of chests on the left. Clicking it will trigger a cutscene where you will recieve the key item and find out that liesreen is a wuss for sending you to get it.

Note on the grotto mobs: I went back in there last night to do some chest hunting(So I could have my map) All mobs on the norg side of the beastcoin doors are weak Easy prey, with a few strong EP(oozes). The mobs PAST the silver beastcoin door con EP to weak/strong DC at my current lvl of 50nin. So be careful!(side note, I got agroed by a DC sahagin last night when I opened the chest, if I wasnt a ninja I proly would not have been able to kill it, and I didnt even need to heal myself, which surprised me greatly.) Oh and for you chest hunters, 90% of the treasure chests spawn behind the silver beastcoin door, the other 10% are in the back room of the big area just before the door. And keep in mind you lose sneak/invis to open chests ;)

*****Easy way to get to storage room for Tonko:Ichi quest w/o a map*****
For the Tonk:Ichi quest enter the Sea Serpent Grotto FROM Norg and stay to the RIGHT after going back through that stone door. When you see Oooze's you know you going the right way. You will go through two more doors while staying to the right. After the third door (including first one mentioned) you'll be in an open room that looks like a storage room, on the right side on the floor there is a "???". Just check it to get the Key Item. If you want you can rest here since you are far enough from anything that agroes. Though there isnt much to see there.

*****Easy way to find ??? point in jungle for Hojo:Ichi quest WITH a map*****
For Hojo:Ichi I just grabbed a scroll of instant warp before going to kazham. And I found the tree in the Yhaotor jungle(after completely searching through the first area)at a supposedly random location, however I found it at f-6/g-6 as mentioned in the guide here. What I mean by second jungle is the place thats NOT immediately outside Kazham. sorry for lack of info but there isnt much to so. just tab through targets till you find a ??? and get offbird, check it and warp, done. (note: it has come to my attention that this point is truely random and its spawn time is HORRIBLE, so jsut have patience when trying to find it

*****Other quests I was able to start in Norg*****
There is the shining subligar and shining leggings quests. Cant remember what subligar gives (havent finished) but shinning leggins was Dokumori:Ichi(sp). These were given by the two NPCs that stand above the guild shop. The other quest gives a key item for the leviathin summon quest. Given by the taru standing next to Lady Luck guy.

****Note: The recommend sneak oil quantity is for a ONE-WAY trip. I used mijin gakure and warp scrolls to get back to norg. IMO much cheaper that way****
I did actually use 14 pots of oil doing these quests lol, but that was spent figuring out what the labels really were on the japanese map I had. but for Tonko:Ichi 2 sneak oils should be enough and for Utsusemi:Ichi id recommend 3 oils.

*****Bit of Info on Utsusemi:Ichi*****
Ok after more experience and such Its time to update and say exactly what this ability does. It is a 4 seconds cast time, with recast time of 30 seconds, it is NOT like the WHM spell blink at all. it will consistently absorb the next 3 non AoE spells casted on you. It can absorb any other normal non AoE attacks. As far as non-spell AoEs it will NOT absorb the attack, but you will keep your shadows, where-as an AoE spell instantly removes all remaining shadows (one downfall of nin tanking >.<) Utsusemi Ni works the same way, but gives you 4 shadows, takes 1.5 seconds to cast and 45 seconds for recast. I hope this clears up any misunderstanding that existed before and sorry it took so long for me to update the site.p>
Well I hope this helps everyone out! And if im online I dont mind answering questions and such. Have fun! (I'm on Shiva, and I'm sorry but I do not escort people on the quests. I may take you to norg if Im nearby but dont ask me to do the quest for you) =^.^= PS- if you find this useful please rate my post =^.^=

******Update******
Fixed NPC names, and it seems that even less fame is needed to get quests. I personally never checked since it was expensive to goto norg or jeuno every few quests to check ^^. But needless to say you still get fame the more you do so in the end it doesnt really hurt. Thank you brone for the corrections. And Ive walked through ghasts with sneak on and they havent hit me, guess I just got lucky. But good thing to keep in mind is be sure you look before you leap ^_~


I walked through the grotto doing some serious exploring and realized that some parts of the utsusemi directions weren't that clear, so I fixed them up, hope this helps everyone.

I still can't get this stupid quest, I'm so mad.

I spent a day and a half farming necklaces (being interrupted by people needing help on a mission or key quest a few times). I think I farmed around 144 necklaces and did the zinc ore quest 2 times, and my rice balls were 156. So at 156 I figured I'd try Norg anyway.

I was able to get Tonko: Ichi quest and finished it.

Still couldn't do Utsusemi: Ichi.

So I did the Subligar quest. Still couldn't get Utsusemi: Ichi. Did the Leggings quest. Still couldn't get Utsusemi: Ichi.

I was so annoyed I set my hp in Norg that I couldn't warp back to Jueno, so I took the stupid ship back and saw my riceballs were now at 155. Bah. 3 quests in Norg and the price only went down by one gil.

I'll probably go to bastok now and do that quest since after I did that quest twice, the price went down 2 gil. I hate to do that since zinc is expensive. The necklace quest gains more money when killing all those yagudo <_<

Wish me luck on getting this quest on my next trip to Norg ~_~'

I just want to let anyone know, in case the do something I did.

If you take the wrong turn after the left past the Ornamental Door, you might end up at a door that requires a Gold or Mythril beastcoin. I learned that the hard way... >_<

Adding my Norg fame -> Utsu experience
# Jul 07 2004 at 9:38 PM Rating: Decent
Tenshodo Quests Completed:
Tenshodo Membership (Membership Card, Invite)
Brugaire Consortium (Lauan Shield)
Mysteries of Beadeaux (Coruscant Rosary)
Mysteries of Beadeaux II (Black Matinee Necklace)
Mhigo's Amigo: (180~200 Bead Necklaces - kinda lost count)
Shady Business (40 Zinc Ore)

At this point I was only at 158 for Rice Ball price.

I was pretty sure that I could get the Utsusemi quest by doing the other Ninja:Scroll quests thanks to the information supplied by previous posters, so I headed to Norg and immediately flagged the Like Shining Leggings (Scroll of Dokumori: Ichi) and Like A Shining Subligar (Scroll of Kurayami: Ichi) quests. Completed those 2 and I was able to flag pretty much all the rest of the Ninja Scroll quests: Hojo:Ichi from Washu, Tonko:Ichi from Keal and Utsusemi: Ichi from Laisrean.

Don't be afraid to spend money in obtaining the requisite Norg fame, and definitely do all of the scroll quests (preferably planned out for one session). Here on Odin, Utsusemi-1 fluctuates between 100-180k, while Tonko-1, Hojo-1 and Kurayami-1 are all in the 20-40k region.

Unique Tenshodo Quests I Did Before Accepting This Quest:
Tenshodo Membership (Membership Card, Invite)
Brugaire Consortum (Lauan Shield)
Mysteries of Beadeaux (Coruscant Rosary)
Mysteries of Beadeaux II (Black Matinee Necklace)
Like Shining Leggings (Scroll of Kurayami: Ichi)
It's Not Your Vault (Scroll of Tonko: Ichi)

Repeatable Tenshodo Quests and # of Times:
A Job for the Consortum (1000 gil - 5 times)
*^5/13 Success Rate^*
Mhigo's Amigo: (200 gil - 15 times)
Shady Business (350 gil - 12 times)

As you can see, I experimented with many quests to get a feel for what is easiest. In my opinion, the Shady Business (Zinc Ore) quest is the best. You mine for the ore, and even have a chance of making quite a bit of money off of anything else you get. I started in Zeruhn Mines (go to http://www.hi-ho.ne.jp/gulif/ziq_saikutsukeng.html for mining points), not far from the Bastok Mines AH. I usually dropped copper/tin ores, but you could use them for leveling crafts. I took all Iron/Darksteel to the Auction House, and took all the Zinc ore to Talib in Port Bastok (Note: Mog House Exit Upgrade is recommended). So, basically just repeat that (around 25 times) and you're well off, I believe. If this doesn't work, go to Norg and do the other Ninja Scroll quests, then you'll be able to accept this one.

Price of Rice Balls: 156

i went from "who the hell are you" fame... to enough fame for leviathan and this scroll by doing 2 quests under 10 min... i did the tonki scroll then did the 10 rusty legging quest. then magically my fame went from that to alot of people mention your name.

bastok, warehouse 2, talk to the gentleman by the bookshelf, he tell you to get lost. proceed downstairs, talk to NPC Talib, in red, with ponytail (closer to stairs, there are 2 in red). cutscene with a girl starts. after that cutscene trade Talib one zinc ore. he gives you a small quest. (delivering somthing across town) after that quest is complete, return to Talib. you can then start trading him 4 zinc ores at a time. i was told 140 total ores is the mark, but i traded 146 to be safe. rice balls were at 152, my norg fame was there. im not 100% sure but i think i spent about a total of 30-33k on this. (had LS members buying out ores in sandy and windy) good luck !!
A few tips
# Jul 01 2004 at 8:02 PM Rating: Decent
Here's a few tips for those of you who are doing this quest. The treasure room is at pos: (H - 3). After the Ornamental door, take a right, that's the right way. I'd suggest you put your HP in Norg before hand, and get a lvl 1 job out, buy some silent oils, and then do this quest. Because after the cutscene, just attack the monster, and then you'll be right back in Norg. Simple huh? It just takes *ss loads of fame to do it.
Ricey balls
# Jul 01 2004 at 3:42 PM Rating: Decent
i did the following:

Yagudo bead quest in Windy: 23 times
Zinc ore Quest in Bastok: 12 times
Become a member of Tenshodo


Rice balls = 153 gil

I was able to complete the Tonko: Ichi Quest easy. BUT wtf no Utsusemi: ichi

Aha! Talk to Heije right above Laisrean and do that quest for Kurayami: Ichi (give him 10 rusty subligars, about 10k down the drain). Then my friend, you can finally do the Utsemi Ichi quest.

Rice Balls
# Jun 30 2004 at 11:27 PM Rating: Decent
The way to tell if you have enough fame in Norg is if your Rice balls at the Neptune's Spire in Jeuno are on sale for 153 gil. If not, then you don't have enough fame. I would suggest you do the Yagudo Necklace quest that gives you the title Cat Burglar Groupie. I need to find some high lvl help for this quest :(.

ight, i farmed 150 necklaces or so went to Kael, got enuff fame for Tonko Ichi and finished the quest....didnt have enuff for Utsusemi yet......2 days later i got 20 zinc ores....traded to Talib went back to Norg, that gave me enuff fame for Utsusemi.....now im on the quest

i followed the directions at the top top .....and wasted 8 oils b4 i found the stone door that im suppose to trade the silver beastcoin to

"the instructions at the top of the page" said

--coming from yuhtunga entering grotto, gear to the left...(i did that)...if u see an ornamented door your going the right way (i saw that door)..after that, take ur left ( i did that..)
then you'l see the stone door (nope...dont see it...searched all about for that stone door.....still no sign)


all i was able to see after taking the left passin the ornamented door was 100 sahagins waiting for my sneak to wear off to brutalize me....i searched every nook and cranny for that stone door...dont see it.....
what am i doing wrong?
