True Strength - MNK AF3  

Summary

You must defeat a powerful Yagudo in Castle Oztroja. The Yagudo in question can be lured out with a bottle of Yagudo drink.

Walkthrough

''Note:Before you can get this quest you must complete both Ghosts of the Past - MNK AF1 and The First Meeting - MNK AF2.

Ayame in the Metalworks asks you to kill a powerful Yagudo in Castle Oztroja and recover the feather he drops as proof. To get him to spawn, you need to trade a Yagudo Drink to a ???. The ??? is deep inside of Castle Oztroja.

How to get there:

Map 1

• Enter on the bottom floor at F-8, make your way to the Trapped Door at I-8. One of the two levers (random for each alliance) opens the trap and the other opens the door. Have someone use one of the levers and run back in case the trap opens (a mage with Escape is good for this in case they fall in), once you figure out which lever opens the door, have everyone enter and head up the stairs to J-8.

Map 2

• Enter at J-8 you want to get to the Four Lever Door at F-8. First, head west and south to H-10, then west and north to G-9, when you enter the large open area at G-9 head east into the small circular room, then take the north exit and head west across the bridge to the door. Up to this point at level 60 you should have no aggro. You should now be at the Four Lever Door, flip the switches until you find the combination that opens the door (changes every day). Enter the corridor, at this point mobs will start to aggro level 60 characters, invisibility will get you past the Yagudos. Head west along the corridor and follow it as it turns south, now head up the stairs at F-9

Map 3

• This map is straight forward enter at F-9 and exit at H-11. In the room at H-9, be careful to avoid the Yagudo Parasites in the pool.

Map 4

• Congratulations you have arrived. Head north to H-8, the ??? is at the first torch after the corridor widens.

Preparing for the fight:

It is important to clear the Yagudo out of the immediate area of the torch first. If there are no Yagudo around when you arrive, wait for them to pop and kill them. You do not want them to spawn in the middle of your fight. You will see Yagudo Assassins (64-72), Flagellants (62-66) and Conductors (63-67). Once the spawns have been cleared, the Monk should trade the Yagudo Drink to the ??? at the torch, this will spawn Huu Xalmo the Savage.

Huu Xalmo the Savage is a monk and will use 100 fists in the fight. You can elemental seal & sleep him, have a Paladin use Invincible or just spam cure your tank when he does this, the choice depends on party make up. He also has a very high counter rate (my opinion: I can only counter mobs I am facing, so you should be safe if you are on the side away from the tank) so everyone will take damage. Once Huu Xalmo the Savage is dead, the monk should lot on the Xalmo Feather as this is the item required for Ayame.

Head back to Bastok and talk to Ayame again to receive your Temple Hose and learn what True Strength really is.
