In-Game Text
Description
This quest is quite long, and requires speaking with Jaucribaix after you finish SAM AF2.
He will send you to Gilgamesh who will tell you that a sacred helm, the Myochin Kabuto, has been stolen. A demon was trapped in the helm and he needs to get it back before the seal placed on the helm is inadvertently broken by the thief. Gilgamesh asks that you to seek out his operatives and assist in the recovery of the helm. He does not tell you where or who his operatives are however, requiring you find them on your own.
Find Sanosuke at the Duty Free Shop in Port Jeuno (near Auction House). Sanosuke will say that he heard reports of a man wearing a strange helmet leaving San d`Oria in the direction of Jeuno but that he could not find this man in the Jeuno region. He thinks that he may have gone in another direction. If you look at your region map it's not too hard to guess that the thief may have instead gone on the ferry in Selbina.
Find the tarutaru Phoochuchu in Mhaura (she wears Jujitsu Gi). She will tell you that the thief was a regular customer at the inn in Mhaura and he had mysteriously disappeared at the time of the theft. Speak with her again and she will tell you that the thief has been tracked to Bastok and that there is an operative there tracking him down.
Go to the lower road in Bastok Mines and open the door at (J-6) and a cutscene will occur. The operative has discovered that the thief has been hiding out in the Palborough Mines. He will then ask you to help him investigate the mines.
Head to the Waughroon Shrine in the Palborough Mines for another cutscene. The operative has been fatally woundeded but before he dies he warns you that the seal on the helm is broken. He asks that you report this to Gilgamesh.
Go back to Norg and report what happened to Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh will hand you a Banishing Charm (RARE EX) and instruct you to toss it into the burning circle in Waughroon.
Assemble a strong PT of at least level 60 and return to Waughroon. Trade your Banishing Charm to the Burning Circle to start the event. You will see a cutscene of the thief being overpowered by the helm and the demons breaking loose. A Burning Circle battle commences.
You must kill the 3 demon NMs (Ransetsu, Gaki, Onki, plus Onki's summon) within a 30 minute time limit. It is a very difficult fight so come prepared for the battle. Neither Sleep nor Silence will affect the demons. You can put the elemental to Sleep however. Be sure to use Warding Circle immediately to give your party an edge during the critical first moments of the battle. Gaki likes to cast Flare and other devastating magic spells (and will use Manafont). Kill him immediately since you can’t silence him. Rasetsu will use Blood Weapon & Onki may use his Astral Flow. Make use of your 2-hour abilities in this battle.
After the 3 demons are slain you’ll see another cutscene. A ninja named Ren will drop in to clean up the mess and hands you the "Charred Helm" (a key item).
Bring the Charred Helm to Jaucribaux. He will lament at the condition of the helm and go on to ask for your assistance in fixing it. He has all that he requires right there in Norg except for a length of Gold Thread. Acquire a Gold Thread and bring it back to Jaucribaux (you can get it at the Weaver's Guild in Windurst). Once you give Jaucribaux the Gold Thread he needs, Gilgamesh will reward your efforts with the newly repaired Myochin Kabuto. You must wait for up to 24 hours for him to complete your helm.
