Walkthrough
- Talk to Dkhaaya at Aht Urhgan Whitegate (G-9) for a cutscene and to obtain Dkhaaya's Research Journal (key item).
- Pick up some Pickaxes.
- Kahah Hobichai in Al Zahbi (J-7) sells them.
- You will want a few because they can break. Up to eight in a row have broken, and bringing a stack of pickaxes is recommended.
- Head to Bhaflau Thickets from Aht Urhgan Whitegate (H-7). This is the tunnel behind Sajahb Port Ephramad (the north exit)
- Or take a Chocobo from Al Zahbi through Wajaom Woodlands to Bhaflau Thickets.
- Enter the cave Bhaflau Thickets (I-7) to zone into Aydeewa Subterrane. The Ameretats can aggro to sound at level 75.
- Follow the path to a room with columns, (I-8).
- Drop off a ledge North-West into a room with Aydeewa Diremites (they aggro level 75's - use Sneak to avoid aggro).
- Go down the ramp immediately to the left (H-8), that leads south and down to a room with leeches and a large pool in the center that looks like a Teleporter (H-9).
- Note: This is the same room that is involved in the Blue Mage flag quest An Empty Vessel. If you are doing both quests at the same time, make sure you get the key item for this quest before starting the Blue Mage cutscene, as it will teleport you back to Whitegate automatically after the scene has finished.
- Find the Excavation Site and mine it to get one of three key items: Electrocell, Electropot, or Electrolocomotive (G-9).
- Return to Dkhaaya; he rewards you with a Lightning Band.
- At this point, the quest is gone from the log and technically complete, but the real reward is to trade the Lightning Band to the Leypoint in Wajaom Woodlands (G-8) to obtain the Olduum Ring.
- NOTE: As of August 9, 2026, the Leypoint does not accept the Lightning Band, so this last step of obtaining the Olduum Ring cannot be completed.
- If you drop your ring, this quest is repeatable by talking with Dkhaaya.
