{{Color|red|Note:}} You must zone after completing [[As Thick as Thieves]] before starting this quest.

====Walkthrough====

*Speak to [[Nanaa Mihgo]] in [[Windurst Woods]] (J-3) to receive the {{KI}} [[Cat Burglar's note]].
*Go to [[Lower Jeuno]] (G-10) and speak to [[Yatniel]] on the top floor. He will ask for 4x [[Quake Grenade|Quake Grenades]].
*Trade the [[Quake Grenade|Quake Grenades]] to him for a clue.
**'''NOTE:''' Although you can skip this part and get the {{KI}} [[Bomb incense]] and fight the Chandelier, you MUST turn in the [[Quake Grenade|Quake Grenades]] in order to clear the KI from Nanaa so she will allow you to complete the quest.
*Go to [[Mhaura]] (H-8) and speak to [[Hagain]] who is located in one of the upstairs rooms in the Sailor's Stay. He will give you the {{KI}} [[Bomb incense]].
*Head to [[Garlaige Citadel]] via the main entrance. (The [[Survival Guide]] is the easiest way here.)
*You will now need to examine multiple '''???''' in a specific order. Go to each one and choose "Yes" to use the {{KI}} [[Bomb incense]].
**'''NOTE:''' Switching to first person view and locking on to the points make it easier to target them. The '''???''' is in the ceiling.
**Walk to (I-9) (just south of Banishing Gate #1) for the first '''???'''.
**Head west, take the first left, and examine another '''???''' at (H-9).
**Go through the first Banishing Gate and hug the right wall to take a winding path down to (F-9). The '''???''' to the west of the intersection is the one you want.
**Go across the hall directly to the east for another '''???''' at (F/G-9).
**Go back the way you came towards Banishing Gate #1. Examine the '''???''' at (G-8/9).
**Head to the north of the large room (around the perimeter, not through the middle, because there are holes) for another '''???''' at (G-7).
**'''READ THE NEXT SECTION BEFORE CLICKING THE NEXT (FINAL) ???.'''
**Hug the wall and walk east and north to pop the NM at the (I-6) '''???'''.

*The last '''???''' will spawn a Bomb named [[Chandelier]]. If it aggros a player before being claimed (via sight or magic aggro), it will immediately use [[Self-Destruct]].
**If it uses [[Self-Destruct]], it will not drop the [[Chandelier Coal]] needed for this quest.
**If you fail to successfully claim [[Chandelier]] and it [[Self-Destruct]]s, you will have to wait 10 minutes for the '''???''' to respawn. 
***You do not have to go back and check all the '''???''' again.
***However, you ''do'' have to go back and check all of the ??? again if you leave the zone. (So don't do that.)
*Using [[Hide]] or [[Spectral Jig]] immediately after the cutscene is the recommended way to avoid detection long enough to claim.
**And don't claim with a spell from THF/BLM or something, because it also aggros magic.

====Afterwards====
*Go back to [[Mhaura]] and trade the [[Chandelier Coal]] to [[Hagain]].
*Head to [[Windurst Woods]] and talk to [[Nanaa Mihgo]].
**She will ask what letter was on your papers. The correct answer is "Blank," but any response will progress the quest.
*You'll need a [[Pickaxe]] for this next step.
*Go to [[Ordelle's Caves]]. Enter the cave in [[La Theine Plateau]] at (F-7), or warp using a [[Survival Guide]].
*'''NOTE:''' If you have the [[Proto-Waypoint]] in [[La Theine Plateau]], you can warp to the valley and skip the below [[Ordelle's Caves]]. However, make sure you zone into [[Ordelle's Caves]] and then back out again before continuing or you can't trade the pickaxe. 
**Take the path to the East at (H-3). This will take you to a different map eventually.
**On the new map, go to the path at (H-9). The map will switch to the first map you were on.
**Follow this path to the hole at (H-11/12). 
***Drop down this hole and head to the tunnel to the east (I-11).
***Be careful not to fall off the cliff.
**Follow the stairs to the first intersection at (I-6) and take a left to head south. Take the tunnel to the right that heads west (H-9) and take it (you know you're on the right track if you see [[Napalm]]s).
**You'll zone back into [[La Theine Plateau]]. 
*Head to the middle of the valley and find the '''???''' at the southwest corner of (H-10). Trade your [[Pickaxe]] to the '''???''' for a cut scene and your reward.
**Other types of [[Pickaxe]] will not work.
