== Walkthrough ==
*Kill enemies in [[Rala Waterways]] until you acquire a {{KI}} [[Consummate simulacrum]].
**The drop rate seems to be higher from the [[Waterway Pugil|Waterway Pugils]] and [[New Moon Bats]]. (Efts and Diremites near the Augural Conveyor didn't drop after farming for about 15+ minutes, but New Moon Bats near the East Adoulin entrance dropped on the first kill on one occasion, and on the second on another).
**All party members in the zone who are currently on the mission will receive the {{KI}} [[Consummate simulacrum]] at the same time. Party members who have previously completed the mission can cause the key item to drop - farming doesn't need to be done by the member(s) on the mission.
**The {{KI}} [[Consummate simulacrum]] will appear in your Temporary Key Items after any [[Wildskeeper Reive]] entry items but before any entry items for the high tier (Ark Angels etc.,) mission battlefields. You will also receive a message in your chat log but it is easily missed if you are not paying attention.
*After acquiring the {{KI}} [[Consummate simulacrum]], head to the [[Augural Conveyor]] at (B-6) in [[Rala Waterways]] and select it. This is near the zone from the [[Western Adoulin]] '''Waterfront''' at (F-5).
**Unlike other mission battles, there is '''no''' initial cutscene; choosing "'''The Charlatan'''" will immediately take you into the battle.
*This battle is against [[Balamor]] and three [[:Category:Dullahan|Dullahan]].
**Only the leader of the party loses their {{KI}} [[Consummate simulacrum]] upon entry. If you fail, only the leader has to go get another KI.
**All party members who haven't previously completed the mission must possess the key item to enter.
**[[Arciela]] aids you in this fight. She can hold her own quite well, but the battle will be lost if she falls.
**[[Trust Magic]] can be summoned inside.
**All of [[Balamor|Balamor's]] regular attacks seem to be Area of Effect.
**The Regicidal Dullahan will always target [[Arciela]] and can not be pulled off. [[Balamor]] and his two Balamor's Sycophants share hate. Causing hate to change for any of them will change the target of all three.
**Only Balamor needs to be defeated to end the fight.
***Balamor will surrender around 20% HP.
*Upon successfully completing this mission, you do '''''not''''' need another KI to re-enter the battlefield.

==== Aftermath ====
* You'll be put back at the '''Royal Sepulcher''' finishing the mission.
* The [[Rala_Waterways#Unused_Exit|nearby exit]] to [[Eastern Adoulin]] on the map isn't actually for players to use apparently, so just warp out of here to continue to the castle gate for the next mission.
