Summary

According to Gilgamesh, a Mithra carrying a mysterious crystal she found in Zi'Tah was recently in Norg. Her name was something like Mary or Maroo or Maree...

Walkthrough

Head to D-12 in Western Altepa Desert and enter Quicksand Caves. Go to K-8. After going through the weighted door, open another door at G-8. Walk through and fall down the pit. Then look for a ??? around where you fell. It should be found at the pillar. Touch the ??? and select 'Yes.' This will trigger the notorious monster Ancient Vessel.

Kill the NM and inspect the ??? to dig out the key item. Return to Maryoh Comyujah, she will then give you the Cerulean Crystal key item.

This is a very easy fight as long as u have stunners. (DRK, or BLM) Pty line up was:
RDM71 (me)
WHM69
WHM66
BLM68
DRK68
PLD73

Our DRK pretty much raped this thing, didnt even have to stun it once either. Fight lasted about 2 mins.

I'm on the video kick now! I have it edited and even threw in the 13 cut scenes and my journey to Sky as well- thanks to Shanvhere and Kmfdmkid for tanking this pot!

Just bring along a decent tank and you're fine. Did this w/ 66 thf 67 whm 69 rdm 74 nin. It was a long fight, but easy. And Utsusemi absorbed all the bad spells that we didn't interrupt. ^^

We did this last night with the following party set up: 68Pld/64Thf/70Rdm/75Whm/70Blm (yes, 5)

Blm (me) dies and Pld died at the very end but we got a Raise III from the Whm and the key item. The battle is not that hard, just long. Especially if you don't have real melee dd. Woot! <sky> O

When my party that did ZM8 was looking to do this, we were told by people we knew to take two parties here to take care of this guy. We tried getting people together to do this with no luck. We decided we had come so close to getting our sky passes, that we had to at least try this guy and see if we could do it. We were only able to get one person to help, a 73PLD.

Im not sure we needed him, but thanks for the help Glucian :)

Anyway, this fight was tremendously easy. No 2 hours needed, no one went more than yellow hp, was over in less than a minute. Whatever pt you take to do zm8 is more than capable of taking this guy. For the record, along with the 73 pld we had 66pld (deleveled on zm8 ;;) 68drk 68drg 67rdm 66whm 70blm.

Again, dont sweat this fight, not too difficult, build to 300tp first, stun the nasty spells, etc.

area you want to get to is d-12 western altepa. enter quicksand caves from there. this fight wasn't much of an issue for blm 75 rdm 64 ninja 74 and rdm 73. about midway through the NM vessel started buffing up with an ability that made it highly resistant to magic, including ES+Dispel and 75 blm's stun. overall, not too rough a fight. i recommend filling tp on the worms and ants nearby before beginning. Spirits within works quite well. another benefit of filling TP is that you will be able to MB before it uses it's magical shield ability. good luck^^

Did this just last night:

DRK 75
MNK 75
PLD 70
RDM 73 <- me

Easy walk to the place, and the fight was even easier than I expected. Basically, this pot insisted on constantly recasting blaze spikes. I just dispeled them off each time, and the 1 time it tried firaga III the drk stunned it. Overall a real push over of a fight. For RDMs like myself, I'd recommend /whm for the appropriate bar-ras as this pot seems unsilenceable (ES+silence got resisted in my attempt), and keep his spikes down so he wastes casts on putting them back up.

A Minor Detail Overlooked

There's a minor detail overlooked in this description: You have to fight an NM when you touch the ???.

Touching the ??? will spawn an NM Magic Pot (Ancient Vasse). I believe the NM was a BLM (I'm pretty sure it used Lv IV elemental spells). The battle isn't that bad at all; just clear out the Sand Diggers nearby before fighting and you shouldn't have a problem. This fight is WAY easier than ZM8 (even easier than ZM6, I'd say). There's nothing real special you have to do in it; fight it like you would any mage-type mob.
