Walkthrough

• Speak to Carbuncle at the ??? (G-6) in La Theine Plateau.

Note:You must first have obtained spirit pacts with the 6 summonable Celestial avatars before you are presented with the Rainbow resonator.

• You must collect six key items dropped from six battles against much harder versions of the 6 Celestial avatars.
• Each battle takes place at the avatar's respected Cloister.
  • The battlefields allow for up to 18 players to enter at once.
  • The avatars are level 85 and have access to their meritable Blood Pacts.
  • The avatars are able to use their Astral Flow move at any time.
  • Each Avatar is supported by four elementals who share hate with the avatar.
    • The elementals can cure the avatar by casting a tier IV elemental nukes on it.
    • The elementals can be respawned once defeated.
    • Each of the elemental's mele attacks have the added effect of the corresponding debuff.
  • Defeating each avatar will award you with the appropriate key item.
• Once you have obtained all six key items, procede to Full Moon Fountain for a cutscene and the last Battle.
  • Up to 18 players are allowed to enter this battlefield at once.
  • The battle will begin against Carbuncle.
  • Once Carbuncle's health reaches 75%, he will disappear and will be replaced by one of the 6 summonable Celestial Avatars.
  • After that avatar is defeated, Carbuncle will re-appear with 75% health.
  • Once Carbuncle's health reaches 50%, he will disappear and will be replaced by two of the remaining 6 summonable Celestial Avatars.
  • After the next two avatars are defeated, Carbuncle will re-appear with 50% health.
  • When Carbuncle's health reaches 25%, he will disappear once again and be replaced by the remaining 3 summonable Celestial Avatars.
  • Once the three avatars are defeated, five Carbuncle Primes will spawn at once.
    • Each will use Searing Light before it is defeated.
  • Defeat all five Carbuncle Primes to win the battle.
• Return to the ??? (G-6) in La Theine Plateau.
• During the cutscene you are given a choice to return the Faded ruby to Carbuncle. Your choice determines the title given to you when the quest is complete.
  • Choosing to return the ruby will give you the title of "Disturber of Slumber".
  • Choosing not to return the ruby will give you the title of "Interrupter of Dreams".

Notes:

• Every player who participates in the final fight will receive a Carbuncle's Pole.
• All other quest rewards are randomly dropped at the end of the Carbuncle Prime battle.
• You must wait until the Conquest Tally is updated for the week before you can repeat this quest.
