Memories of a Maiden (Windurst Path)

Attohwa Chasm
Comedy Of Errors, (Act I)
Comedy of Errors, (Act II)
  • Head to Windurst Waters (South Map Home Point #3) and speak with Honoi-Gomoi at (E-7). They are upstairs behind the house to receive the Key ItemCracked Mimeo Mirror.
  • Head back to Windurst Walls (Home Point #1) and speak with Yoran-Oran (E-5) again.
  • Travel to (K-8) in Attohwa Chasm and look for a spot marked as "Loose Sand".
  • To reach the Loose Sand you'll have to walk around the perimeter of Parradamo Tor: Start north, proceed north-east, then south until you reach (L-8).
    • From (L-8), walk briefly west to reach (K-8) and the "Loose Sand". It is in a dead-end underneath some fancy Attohwa trees.
  • Clicking the Loose Sand spawns an NM Antlion around level 55 named Lioumere.
    • The spawning player will be hit with Physical Damage Pit Ambush upon spawning.
    • Half of Lioumere's TP moves are physical while the sand named ones are Element: Earth Earth, and it is weakest to Element: Wind Wind and Element: Light Light.
    • After Lioumere uses a TP move (like Sandblast or Sandtrap), it will return to the Loose Sand and recover all its HP. So it is recommended to pull it away from the Loose Sand after spawning.
    • Sleep, Bind, Stun, Gravity and a multitude of other Enfeebles will land and help prevent it from returning to the Loose Sand.
  • Read the following four points after defeating the NM, but before clicking on the Loose Sand a second time:
  1. You will receive a Key Item Mimeo Jewel after clicking the Loose Sand targetable location.
  2. You will have exactly 30 Earth minutes to climb to the top of Parradamo Tor and reach the Cradle of Rebirth before the Key Item Mimeo Jewel breaks.
  3. The Jewel will also IMMEDIATELY BREAK upon using a Mount, zoning, or disconnecting.
  4. If the Jewel breaks, you will need to return to the Loose Sand and obtain another Key Item Mimeo Jewel. You will not have to re-fight the NM.
  • This can be quite frustrating for a lot of players because the path to the top is not clearly defined and falling off may mean 30 minutes or more of lost progress.
Parradamo Tor
  • After reading the points above, stand directly on top of the Loose Sand to obtain your Key Item Mimeo Jewel.
  • Make your way up Parradamo Tor.
    • See the Parradamo Tor page for help climbing the mountain.
      • Keep your camera facing the mountain and go slow, rather than wasting time falling down and starting over.
  • To reach the base of the mountain at (K-9), turn around from the Loose Sand and proceed south-east to then hug the right wall while proceeding north-west. The base is actually rather close after all that prior running to the Loose Sand.
    • After the base comes within view proceed south-west, behind the rock is the ramp to the path upwards.
  • Once you reach the top with your Jewel (and sanity!) intact, check the Cradle of Rebirth to obtain 3 Key Items: Key Item Mimeo Feather, Key Item Second Mimeo Feather, and Key Item Third Mimeo Feather.
  • Before leaving, if you have any progress on Adoulin Missions, go to northwest of the Cradle of Rebirth to interact with the Geomagnetic Fount, so that you may teleport back to this peak anytime.
