Walkthrough
- Speak with Iruki-Waraki who asks you to inquire with his mentor, Shamarhaan about the situation.
- Travel to Bastok Markets and talk to Shamarhaan who gives a cutscene and the key item Valkeng's memory chip from his own Automaton. He also tells you to retrieve an item from Mount Zhayolm.
- Travel to Mount Zhayolm to the position (L-8) and investigate the ??? located on a round steam vent on the ground to receive the key item Toggle switch.
- After obtaining Valkeng's memory chip and the Toggle switch, find your way to Talacca Cove for a battle.
- Examine the Rock Slab at the position (F-6) to enter the battlefield to fight Shamarhaan's old military Automaton, Valkeng. The BCNM battle may include a party of up to 6 with a time limit of 30 minutes.
- This battle can prove to be very challenging for an unbalanced and low-number group.
- Valkeng is an Automaton type mob beginning as a Harlequin Frame and every 30 seconds, will change into a different frame depending on the grand total of damage types it has received during the battle. Valkeng will never return to its initial Harlequin Frame.
- If 50% or more of its damage taken has been from Melee attacks, it will change to its Valoredge Frame form.
- If 50% or more of its damage taken has been from Ranged attacks, it will change to its Sharpshot Frame form.
- If 50% or more of its damage taken has been from Magic, it will change to its Stormwaker Frame form.
- Each frame Valkeng changes to has significant stat and strategy changes.
- Harlequin Frame form:
- Valoredge Frame form:
- Very fast attack rate
- Very high Accuracy and Attack
- Very high physical damage reduction
- Uses Chimera Ripper and String Clipper weaponskills
- Sharpshot Frame form:
- Very high Accuracy and Evasion
- Uses Ranged Attacks every 5 seconds
- Uses Slapstick and Arcuballista weaponskills
- Has low physical defense
- Stormwaker Frame form:
- Casts various high-level Elemental Magic every 10 seconds
- Uses Slapstick weaponskill
- Very high Magic Defense
- Receives normal physical damage
- Upon defeating Valkeng, a cutscene will occur. Choice of answer during will not affect any outcome.
- Return to Bastok Markets and speak to Shamarhaan. Again, the answer to the question will not matter.
- Travel back to Aht Urhgan Whitegate to speak with Iruki-Waraki once again for a cutscene.
- Travel to Nashmau and speak with Sajhra near the docks for another cutscene.
- Return to Iruki-Waraki in Aht Urhgan Whitegate and speak with him for one last cutscene and to receive your reward: Puppetry Taj
