Walkthrough
- Enter the Walahra Temple in Aht Urhgan Whitegate at (J/K-8) for a cutscene.
- Speak to Yoyoroon in Nashmau in (G-6). If you speak to Yoyoroon as a Blue Mage, you will have to change jobs and speak to him again.
- Obtain a Timeworn Talisman from Ephramadian Shades in Arrapago Reef or Caedarva Mire.
- Trade the Timeworn Talisman to Yoyoroon in Nashmau. There is a chance that his appraisal of the item will fail, apparently trading him a Sutlac or an Irmik Helvasi or both will increase the chances of the appraisal succeeding. (But it can still fail even with a food trade. Over and over again.)
- Should the appraisal fail, you will have to obtain another Timeworn Talisman as well as any food items that you traded him.
- Yoyoron will not accept Sutlac +1 or Irmik Helvasi +1.
- Should your appraisal succeed, you will receive the Key Item: Talisman of the rebel gods.
- Enter the Walahra Temple in Aht Urhgan Whitegate at (J/K-8) for a cutscene to receive the key item: Talisman key.
- Enter Hazhalm Testing Grounds and examine the Entry Gate to view a cutscene.
- Examine the Entry Gate again to enter a BCNM.
- Your opponent will be Odin Prime, he can cast spells like Paralyze, Dispelga, and elemental magic.
- Odin Prime can also spawn up to 3 Odin Images.
- At a low percentage, Odin can use Zantetsuken if he stays alive for an extended period of time.
- After winning the battle, you will enter a cutscene where you will choose your reward.
- Examine Imperial Whitegate at Aht Urhgan Whitegate (L-8/9) to finish the quest.
