Trade enough [[Crystals]] to the [[Conquest NPC]] (one crystal is enough) to raise your Rank bar and unlock the Mission, then accept it from the [[Gate Guard]].

'''(Optional)''': As usual for [[Windurst]] Missions, the [[Gate Guard]]s and their adjacent NPCs will all have optional dialogue after accepting and at end of the Mission.

*Head for the [[Optistery]] on the northern map of [[Windurst Waters]] (near [[Home Point]] #1). Speak to [[Tosuka-Porika]] at (G-8) (East door).
**'''(Optional)''': The other NPCs and [[Tosuka-Porika]] inside the same room have additional dialogue.
*Head to (J-3) in [[Windurst Woods]] and speak to [[Nanaa Mihgo]]. She will lend you her {{KI}} [[Lapis monocle]].
** You may need to talk to her twice or more if you have a {{KI}} [[Windurst Trust permit]] and [[Aht Urhgan]] [[Lure of the Wildcat]] Quests started.
**'''(Optional)''': [[Nanaa Mihgo|Nanaa]]'s cronies nearby have additional dialogue.

===Maze of Shakrami===
*Now make your way to the [[Maze of Shakhrami]], which is in at (K-5) in the northeast corner of [[Tahrongi Canyon]].
**The [[Survival Guide]] places you at the entrance of [[Maze of Shakhrami]] so long as you have it unlocked.
**The [[Unity Warp]] to [[Tahrongi Canyon]], Kulshushu [[Outpost]], or [[Crag of Mea|Mea crag]] warps can otherwise save some time.
*Inside, head for (G-6) on Map 1, where you can transition to Map 2 (the lower map). Then, head to (H-5) on Map 2.
*Check each '''Fossil Rock''' until you receive the {{KI}} [[Lapis coral]].
**There are 14 '''Fossil Rocks''' total on Map 2.
**4 in the room at (H-5).
**2 in the room at (I-7).
**6 in the large room at (F-7)/(G-7)/(G-8), one of which is in the room at (F-8).
**2 in the room at (I-8).
**Many mobs aggro {{sound}} sound, while [[:Category:Goblin|Goblin]]s will aggro to {{sight}} sight, so keep [[Sneak (Status)]] and [[Invisible (Status)]] up if you are a lower-level player. You can use '''Circumspection''' from the [[Grounds Tome]] if necessary.
*Make your way back to [[Nanaa Mihgo]], who will give you the {{KI}} [[Hideout key]].
**'''(Optional)''': [[Nanaa Mihgo|Nanaa]]'s cronies have new additional dialogue.

===Inner Horutoto Ruins===
*Head to [[East Sarutabaruta]], and enter the '''Lily Tower''' at (J-7) to reach [[Inner Horutoto Ruins]].
** The '''Inner Horutoto Ruins''' [[Survival Guide]] warp places you in the right tower if you have it unlocked already.
*Head to the Southwest room containing an '''Ancient Magical Gizmo'''. At (G-9), there is a '''Cracked Wall'''. Open it to proceed to [[Inner Horutoto Ruins]] Map 2. Now head for (G-8). There are a few ways to get there, but ultimately that is your destination.
** You will need [[Sneak]] and [[Invisible]] due to high level (90+) monsters in the area.
***{{ItemIcon|Silent Oil|22}} [[Silent Oil]] and {{ItemIcon|Prism Powder|22}} [[Prism Powder]] are alternatives to [[Sneak]] and [[Invisible]].
** This also includes potential {{scent}} blood aggro, so be sure you are above 75% HP.
*** Without Sneak and Invisible: [[Beetle]]s and [[Bat]]s do not aggro here. There is a path to the door without [[Goblin]]s and [[Skeleton]]s, allowing you to pass safely.
*Check the '''Mahogany Door''' for a cutscene.
**'''(Optional)''': [[Nanaa Mihgo|Nanaa]] and her cronies back in [[Windurst Woods]] have new additional dialogue after this cutscene.

===Windurst===
*Head to the '''House of the Hero''' at [[Windurst Walls]] (G-3). Check the door for a cutscene.
*Make your way back to [[Windurst Waters]] [[Home Point]] #1 and speak to [[Tosuka-Porika]] to complete the Mission.
**'''(Optional)''': Some of the NPCs in the same room have new additional dialogue.
