Sea Serpent Grotto Composite Map

• Talk to Andrause at (I-8) in Norg.
• You will be given 3 specific monsters from which you must acquire a Soul Plate using a Soultrapper.
  • Andrause will offer to sell you a Soultrapper and 12 Blank Soul Plates for 800 Gil.
  • You can buy another 12 Blank Soul Plates from him each day (after JP Midnight).
  • Note: he will only accept Soul Plates of monsters found in Sea Serpent Grotto.
• How to take pictures:
  • Equip the Soultrapper into your Ranged slot, and the Blank Soul Plates into your Ammo slot.
  • You can then use the Soultrapper via the Inventory onto a target, or alternatively, use a macro line /item "Soultrapper" <t> or any equivalent.
  • The Soultrapper cannot be used while under the effect of Sneak or Invisible.
  • Sometimes you'll fail taking a picture. Just try again!
• Andrause will mention which monsters he's "investigating", and depending on the monsters chosen, you may need a Silver Beastcoin, Mtl. Beastcoin or Gold Beastcoin to gain access to them:
  • Monsters found in the open area: Bigclaw (M-14), Brook Sahagin, Riparian Sahagin, Rivulet Sahagin, Royal Leech, Undead Bats and Grotto Pugil.
  • Monsters found behind the Silver Beastcoin door: Grotto Pugil, Sea Bonze.
  • Monsters found behind the Mythril Beastcoin door: Blubber Eyes, Bog Sahagin, Marsh Sahagin, Rock Crab, Razorjaw Pugil, Sahagin Parasite, Swamp Sahagin.
  • Monsters found behind the Gold Beastcoin door: Coastal Sahagin, Devil Manta, Delta Sahagin, Dire Bat, Lagoon Sahagin, Mousse, Robber Crab, Shore Sahagin.
    • Unity Warp (125) puts you past the Gold Beastcoin door.
    • Delta Sahagin's can sometimes be pulled down into the open area at (J-12, K-12 Map 1) off the ledge from behind the Ornamental Door with magic.
• Trade the required Soul Plates to him one at a time and he will give you a Black book Key Item.
  • Should you require another, he will give you one in exchange for 3 more Soul Plates of his choosing.
• Once you have the book, click on the Outcropping at (F-10) in Gustav Tunnel for a cutscene.
• Clicking it a second time will immediately start the next mission and initiate a fight against 3 Tenshodo agents.
  • The Black book is taken once the fight starts, so if you should lose, you will need to acquire another.
