Alternative Battlefields for 3 Beastmen Leaders
In 2024, new battlefields that enable you to earn the titles needed to craft Mythic Weapons have been added.

---

Requirements:
You are unable to enter battlefields for titles that you have already acquired.

• Be offered the "An Imperial Heist" quest.
• Have not yet obtained the titles from each of the beastman kings.
• Have a weapon turned into Abquhbah.

Note: You can check which titles you have obtained by speaking to the Traveling Bard in the area.

• Koyol-Futenol in Aht Urhgan Whitegate (E-9) will allow you to check your Treasures of Aht Urhgan based titles.

Entrance:
To enter, you must examine the entrance to the Battlefield for each Leader:

• Jade Sepulcher → Gulool Ja Ja - "Shining Scale Rifler"
  • Bhaflau Thickets Home Point brings you to the Jade Sepulcher entrance.
• Navukgo Execution Chamber → Gurfurlur the Menacing - "Troll Subjugator"
  • Mount Zhayolm Home Point brings you to the Navukgo Execution Chamber entrance.
• Talacca Cove → Medusa - "Gorgonstone Sunderer"
  • Caedarva Mire Home Point brings you to the Talacca Cove entrance. The battlefield entrance door is less obvious in this zone, run ahead in a straight line until you go into a cave tunnel that leads to a door labeled "Rock Slab."

Battlefield:
Defeat the specified beastman Leader.

• The "Imperial Heist" quest must either be offered or completed.
• Your party may consist of 1 to 18 players.
• Alter egos can be summoned.
  • If you are in an alliance, you are unable to summon alter egos.
• The levels and behavior for each boss monster are the same as those present in each base up to Level 8.

The time limit is thirty minutes.

• Players will exit the arena once the time limit is reached.

How to exit:

1. Defeat the beastman king.
2. The time limit is reached.
3. Three minutes have elapsed since all party members/alliance members have been knocked out.
4. Use a warp/teleport spell or item.

• Zone into Salaheem's Sentinels for a cutscene.
• Speak to Abquhbah for information about the Weapons.
• Trade the Vigil Weapon from Nyzul Isle Investigation assault that corresponds to the Mythic Weapon which you ultimately plan to create to Abquhbah.
  • If you have already completed a Mythic Weapon that matches the Vigil Weapon you are trying to trade, he will not accept the Vigil Weapon.
  • Abquhbah will not take the traded weapon without the Runic key from clearing Nyzul Isle Investigation floor 100.
    • If you do not remember which weapon you traded Abquhbah, you may trade a new one and he will tell you what the old one is.
    • Remember, these Vigil Weapons may be stored with Ghanraam.

Next, defeat all of the following Notorious Monsters (in any order) to obtain their titles.

• This may be done before starting the quest, and need not be your current title.
  • These titles may be verified as obtained via Koyol-Futenol (E-9, just southeast of the Al Zahbi gate) under the 400 gil category.
• Alternative Battlefields may NOT be done before starting the quest:
  • If you haven't previously obtained the title, you can examine the entrance to the battlefield for each of the beastman kings (Jade Sepulcher (Gulool Ja Ja), Navukgo Execution Chamber (Gurfurlur the Menacing), Talacca Cove (Medusa)) and defeat the specified beastman leaders.
  • See Alternative Battlefields section.

Notorious Monsters List:

• All 3 Aht Urhgan Beastmen Leaders:

• Gulool Ja Ja - "Shining Scale Rifler"
• Gurfurlur the Menacing - "Troll Subjugator"
• Medusa - "Gorgonstone Sunderer"

• All 4 Salvage Chariots:

• Battleclad Chariot (Zhayolm Remnants) - "Star Charioteer"
• Long-Armed Chariot (Silver Sea Remnants) - "Moon Charioteer"
• Long-Bowed Chariot (Bhaflau Remnants) - "Comet Charioteer"
• Armored Chariot (Arrapago Remnants) - "Sun Charioteer"
  • Arrapago Remnants has a Earth day lockout that resets at JP Midnight.
  • Note that titles are NOT granted immediately - the chariot must completely fade out after death.

• Odin - "Elite Einherjar"
  • See Einherjar for more information.

After completing all of the above objectives return to Salaheem's Sentinels and speak to Naja Salaheem for a cutscene.

Repeating the Quest

Note: You do not need to defeat all of the aforementioned monsters again when making another Mythic Weapon.

• Simply trade Abquhbah your weapon and speak with Naja again.
  • You will have to abandon your old weapon even though its been completed.
  • Once you abandon your old weapon, you will have to trade your new weapon a second time to start the quest.

• If you have any issues receiving the cutscene from Naja of Paparoon requesting you visit Nashmau, after speaking to her multiple times. Then zone and try again in order to receive it.
