Summary

Under the command of the court puppetmaster, you are to uncover the truth behind the ghost ship, the Ashu Talif.

Investigate the Arrapago Islands.

Walkthrough

Before beginning this mission, set out to get a vial of Jody's Acid. These items drop from Ameretats or Great Ameretats in Wajaom Woodlands, Bhaflau Thickets and Aydeewa Subterrane. The item is Rare/EX and each character doing this quest would need their own vial.

Once you get your item, go ahead and begin the mission by heading towards Naja Salaheem. A cutscene will be triggered when you get close.

After it's done, travel to Nashmau. Getting there is simple: hop on a different boat that's located in Aht Urhgan Whitegate and enjoy the ride.

Find Pyopyoroon at (H-7) for a cutscene. He will tell that he needs a Vial of Jody's Acid to make a Vial of Spectral Scent. Give him your vial of acid and he will give you a Vial of Spectral Scent to complete the mission.


To read the transcripts for this quest, see the Royal Puppeteer Spoilers page.

not impossiable for sams

Today is june 24th 2008 and im giving hope to the sams out there who are whinning about solo'ing this.

Did it easy as 75SAM/DNC took 5fights not to hard either just keep ghetto utsu up heal urself and make sure to smack em with a good sekkanoki combo of yuki to gekko for a fragmentation and keep healing urself its to easy that way.

Also went back as 75SAM/NIN not the most practical job setup but was easy like that also

Ameretats cant hit very good
not impossiable for sams

Yup I soloed these as 75Sam/Drg just keep seigan 3rd eye up, meditate before fight, wait awhile. Start fight sekka. Meditate again. Fight should be over after that.

Easily solo'ed as lvl 75 smn/whm. Used carby to tank while I stood behind it. Used a couple of meteorites and healing ruby 2. Got the acid on the first drop.

with a LOT of luck, a 2-hour, and a good place to pull the mob to. These things hit hard and fast, which is bad news for SAM's ghetto Utsusemi, Third Eye, and after 4 hits for 100+ landed quickly I 2-houred. Gekko -> Yuki (Induration) -> Gekko (Fragmentation) = dead Ameretat, 43 xp and oh, herro... Jody's Acid ^^

Wouldn't recommend soloing these things at this level unless you've got your 2-hour handy.
Beat up Molboro?

just duoed this with a 75war/37nin, im 59whm/29blm 2 mobs, 2 drops, pretty easy, just they hit hard and fast.
easy as pie
# Aug 11 2007 at 9:05 PM Rating: Decent
easy as pie, did a little hybrid mix of gear, some evasion, some dmg/atk and as a 73nin/war I straight tanked them with just using utsu:ni, got it on 4th kill, first was EP low/low (and i agroed a fomor pally, which was more of a pain than the ameretes lol) and the rest were DC low/low so freaking easy. and now to the next mission.
lol

It's before THIS mission that you have to wait 1 game day and zone, the info about the previous mission is incorrect and it should be said on this page.
btw any job with shadows or grav/bind/sleep can own these with less than a mp pool; and it's best not to do that in advance lol, now I already have my acid and I gotta wait 1 hour ;_;

My 2 Cents...

I went to Wajoam Woodlands to kill the Ameretat. First one I found checked as DC to me. I had no trouble with it as 74THF/37NIN. Spammed ranged attack, which was at 200 skill lvl, got a few skill ups from it. Built up TP quickly with rng att and spammed Dancing Edge killed it in just about 2 minutes I belive. Got drop on first kill, first time in a while that's happened, usually my TH seems broken.
Ameretat

Solo'd as a blm/rdm 73, they are much easier during night when their regen effect is down. Just watch for Fomors.
Hmm
# Dec 31 2006 at 10:54 AM Rating: Decent
*Very* tough..? It's actually really easy as a BLM. They only con DC, and don't resist Gravity, Bind, or Sleep at all. One nuke docks them about 30%.
not that hard

I soloed Ameretats as 75RDM/NIN

got the acid on the first mob

you just have to watch out for it's "bad breath" attack and be careful during @ night for the fomors that spawn around the bhaflau thickets area
Easy

The mob that drops the Jody Acid is a Malboro, and can be easily taken down by 3 70+ players.
I've even solo'd them as a BLM75 however, it was *very* tough.
