Costume kit	10	You must use Costume kit to get information, and avoid Salim at switches.	Icarus Wing

• Costume kit is only available after clearing each of the first six items and the quest Chameleon Capers is cleared.

• The goal is to find an NPC that will tell you about the switch order without talking to other NPCs who will call the guards to capture the Mithra and the Taru friend
• Speak to the following NPCs to get clues about the switch order:

NPC name	Location	Function	Costume kit item
Folzen	Ground floor, kid Galka by Blacksmith Guild	Number of switches	Knitted hat
Darha	Ground floor, Galka near Home Point #2	Switch order	Heels
Helmut	Ground floor, Hume old man near Home Point #2	Switch order	Spectacles
Hungry Wolf	Upper floor, Craftman's Eatery, South of Cid's Lab	Switch order	Heels
Striking Snake	Upper floor, Gunpowder Room, North of Cid's Lab	Switch order	Heels

• Costume kit items are only necessary when using the Costume kit item.

• Activate the switches in the proper order. The order will be based on the comments of the NPCs and may differ.

• The small switch is at the Cermet Refinery (G-7). It is underneath a shelf by the door.
• The medium switch is at the Replica (G-8) near the Metalworks entrance, next to NPC Quasim.
• The large switch is at the kiln (F-8) just outside of the Blacksmithing Guild.

• The messages that confirm that you have activated the correct switches in order are:
  • The first switch has been deactivated.
  • The second switch has been deactivated.
  • You hear a noise from the direction of the Temple of the Goddess.
• If you activate an incorrect switch, you will have to start from the beginning. When you attempt to activate a switch one of the following NPCs will appear:

NPC name	Action to avoid being arrested
Gentle Tiger	Leave it to Luto Say something clever: Checking out the Metalworks.
Militant Gale	Leave it to Miledo Say something clever: Waiting for a friend.
Pensive Beast	Use the Lucky charm item.
Salim	Costume kit (any costume works)

• If you do the incorrect action, either Luto or Miledo will be captured. If so, speak to Ferghus then to Folzen. If the same character gets captured twice, the quest will end.
• Once all switches have been deactivated, return to the ??? in the Temple of the Goddess for a cutscene and your reward.
• You can repeat this quest once per conquest tally.
