Return of the Talekeeper
|
SummaryA new Talekeeper is rumored to have appeared among the Galka. Speak to Medicine Eagle, the Mines District guard on post near the entrance to Ore Street, for further details. WalkthroughSuggested level/pt size: Around 10-12 level 60s can do this easily. If going with larger amounts of lower levels, make sure your tank is at least 60. The damage dealt is pretty nasty. To start this quest, you must trade a stack of crystals to an IM and then talk to a gate guard. They will tell you to go to Bastok Mines and talk to Medicine Eagle, who can be found on the left at the top of the ramp down to Ore Street. You must then go talk to Drake Fang who is by the boat from Zeruhn Mines. You will see a cutscene where Iron Eater will approve your mission and tell you to go check out Altepa. In the center of Western Altepa Desert is Airs Rock. Southwest of the west end of airs rock is a ??? (G-8). Examine it, and two mobs will pop. The Western and Eastern Sphinx. Defeat them, then head back to Bastok. Talk to Tall Mountain in Bastok Mines on Ore Street by the �Restricted Section� in order to complete this mission. SpoilersTo read the transcripts for this mission, see the Return of the Talekeeper Spoilers page. Mission SeriesThis mission is part of the Republic of Bastok Mission series. The entire mission series includes:

Did this a couple weeks ago. Had a PT of 6. PLD/SAM/RDM/SMN were all 61-62. SMN #2 was 67. I was 75 BST.
We tore them up, they are easy to pull seperately. A normal exp party around 60-62 should have little problem with this. The only thing you might need is the tank to be a little higher, 65 at most should be what you need.

This probably doesn't mean much but I thought I'd bring it up. The minimum level needed to do this isn't 60. That would be the recommended level. I'm saying this because I got this mission somewhere after lv55 and now I've just finished the mission as a Lv58 character.
Did 6-1 today and the ??? is NOT at (F-8) but rather at (G-8). Can someone edit the mission desscription?

61 PLD, 61 RDM, 55 WHM Trio-ed this. Cast sneak on me (PLD), I p[oped the NM and hightailed it back to camp. I then pulled one of the NMs and let the other de-spawn. Took 45 min to take it down, but otherwise was a realatively easy fight I never even hit red. Wiggan and Alerion you guys rock.
finally got a group for this last night. was an alliance of mostly 60-63's, 10 people if I remember right.
2 whms, rdm, LOTS OF PLDs (for some reason I think we had 6 just cause)
main tank was 69 pld, relatively easy fight.
One note: I believe that mysterytour says the western sphinx is sleepable.. ignore that. Elemental seal + sleep did nothing.

The thought of using reraise was interesting to me, so I went out with a job over lvl 20 (wanted to make sure choco would get there) and put up my reraise, hit the point and both the sphinxes spawned, killed me in one hit ^^
Waited for despawn, raised myself, checked point, all I got was "There are many stones in the area" or something.. so it doesn't work.
Repeat, Scroll of Reraise trick will not work on this mission, apparently you have to kill at least one of them.

For mission 6-1 bastok all you have to do is touch a ??? after you kill two NM. Well for my monk AF2 i had to do the same thing. Only for my af2 i couldnt find help so i changed to a unlevled job and used a scroll of reraise before i triggered NM spawn. Then i let them kill me and raised myself when they despawned and then touched the ??? again and got the item. Do you guys think this work fofr 6-1 as well? Thanks
I can confirm that you don't have to be lvl 60 to either accept the quest or complete it, as myself and two friends did it with the help of some high lvl people at 57. I'm not sure if this is suggested lvl or not, but if you want to take a stab at it before 60, go for it.

with the remnants of a 5-2 party, i tried to set one up for this mission, but it turned out that it was a bad time and there wasn't really anyone available. for fun, i figured i'd go solo the NMs as long as i could, and then mijin gakure. the paladin and white mage i'd done 5-2 with came to watch.
to my surprise, i only pulled one of the NMs after touching the ???. i can't recall which one it was, but if there's a bigger of the two, it was certainly the larger one, or the one that uses dispelga, if only one does.
after a minute or two, i found that i was able to actually hold out against the NM. the paladin and white mage dismounted their chocobos, and after about ten minutes, we defeated it and were able to get the key item from the ???.
while we were fighting the one NM, the other one despawned, so we only had to even deal with one of them. many other missions/quests can be completed using the same approach.
PLD61, NIN60, and WHM60 was the setup. i don't believe i could have done it without the paladin backup tanking when dispelga hit at the wrong time, or both of them healing after attacks that broke through utsusemi. it was nice that we were able to complete the mission with just the three of us, though.
we also went on to complete 6-2 with just the three of us, and attain rank 7 within the following hour or two.

Posted: Jun 29 2004 at 2:10 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I am a 41 DRN. as i want to pull my guild skills,i am just in need of GGGGGGGIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLL,so could any one who kindly enough to tell me how to gather that,i do not care the experiences ,thanks.
Note that the ??? is NOT southeast of the east end, it is SOUTHWEST of the WEST end
The ??? is in a small patch of 3 large desert cactus just off the side wall of the zone, Right at F-8 (in the small nook) NM's pretty easy, The "Western Sphinx" NM we slept while we beat the other to death...
Do you really think that 10-12 is necessary guys? Also, can non-bastokans help?
you absolutely need....3 people....no more really, just a tank, a healer and someone to do some dmg. I just did this for the third time, were 6 of us, the 62 ninja in my static tanked the Western while the rest of us beat the hell out of eastern. Western is definateyl the harder of the two...must be a size complex. Anyway, they are easily pulled one at a time, just sneak the person who spawns them and usually only eastern will aggro.
I would say at least 10, you have to be able to handle both of the NM's at a time in case you are unable to sleep one of them...
Yes non Bastokaians can help, but it will take a bastokian on the mission to activate the ???

I would think that just a bastoker would have to click the ??? to get the NMs to spawn then you click it again to get the item.
Anyways I haven't done this one yet but it seems to me that 10-12 should be right for "handle this easily"....
I really wont have a problem with finding people that high luckly since a lot of my LS members are getting near 60...
