  • Speak with Juroro to obtain the quest. If you are positive that you have the required fame but she is not allowing you to undertake this quest, continue speaking with her until her text changes. Once you have received the key item: Tuning fork of earth, you can now safely undertake the quest.
  • Travel to Eastern Altepa Desert and look for the entrance to Quicksand Caves at (J-7) (where the level 30+ beetle/antica camp is). This will put you at the first map of Quicksand Caves at (L-4). You will need to travel to (E-10) of the map, to find a hidden entrance to the Cloister of Tremors. The map to the right hand side shows you the map with the hidden tunnels, falls and other traps. Be careful to not fall into the wrong areas.
    • Preferably, home point to Quicksand Caves #2. If you don't have it yet, make sure to grab it on the way.
    • The Unity 125 warp places you within a minute run to the home point.
  • Defeat Titan Prime and you will receive a key item: Whisper of tremors
  • Return to Juroro with the whisper and she will provide several reward options including the ability to summon Titan.

Notes

  • Up to 6 party members can enter the arena.
  • Each party member must have their own Tuning fork of earth.
  • Time limit is 30 minutes.
  • You can only select one of the rewards Juroro offers at any time.
  • You may repeat this quest once per Earth day.
  • You can save yourself a lot of time traveling to the Cloister by using the Mini Fork of Earth given by the quest Trial-Size Trial by Earth. You must be on Summoner as your main job, and obtain the Mini Tuning Fork from Ferrol. Trade the fork back to Ferrol, but enter the Protocrystal normally. So long as you do not clear the level 20 version of the BC, you may warp to the Cloister as many times as you wish.
  • You may also choose to retain the whisper in order to complete the requirements for this quest: The Moonlit Path.
