Trade enough [[Crystals]] to the [[Conquest NPC]] to raise your Rank bar and unlock the Mission, then accept it from the [[Gate Guard]].

*Visit [[Iron Eater]] at the '''President's Office''' in [[Metalworks]]. You'll be asked to travel through the [[Quicksand Caves]].
*Head for the tunnel at (G-5) in [[Western Altepa Desert]] to enter [[Quicksand Caves]] Map 7.
**Taking the [[Survival Guide]] to [[Kuftal Tunnel]] and then exiting brings you close to this entrance.
* Make your way to (H-8) where you'll have to open the weighted '''Ornate Door'''. Simply stand on the nearby weight sensor and wait a few seconds.
** Requires 3 points to open the doors: [[Galka]] = 3 points; [[Hume]]/[[Elvaan]]/[[Mithra]] = 2 points; [[Tarutaru]] = 1 point.
** This door can be opened solo if you possess the {{KI}} [[Loadstone]] from the quest [[Open Sesame]].
*Open the next weighted '''Ornate Door''' at (I-10). Go through and reach (G-11) where you'll find yourself in a small room.
*Clear out the room, and then check the '''???''' in front of the '''Galka Statue''' to spawn 3 level 70 [[Antica]] NMs.
**This fight is trivial at 99 with [[Trust]]s, but you will fight against:
**[[Triarius IV-XIV]] ([[BLM]])
**[[Princeps IV-XLV]] ([[PLD]])
**[[Centurio IV-VII]] ([[WAR]])
**They can be [[sleep|slept]].
**It is recommended you defeat them in that order, however a well-balanced party should have little difficulty with them.
*Check the '''Galka Statue''' again (multiple times if needed) for a cutscene with [[Zeid]].
*Leave and proceed to (D-12) of [[Western Altepa Desert]] and enter [[Quicksand Caves]] Map 5.
** This entrance is hidden and is accessed at (C/D-11) in the far south-west corner.
** You can also quickly access the next '''???''' via the [[Geomagnetic Fount]] [[Waypoint]] for [[Quicksand Caves]]. If you don't have this Fount yet, it is highly recommended you pick it up while in the vicinity. Around (F-7) Map 5.
*Inside, head through the eastern weighted '''Ornate Doors''' at (K-8) this will take you to Map 6.
*Go east to another weight device at (G-8) and proceed east again.
*The '''???''' you need is on the floor infront of the mural in the room at (H-8). Check it for a cutscene with [[Zeid]].
*Return to [[Iron Eater]] for a final cutscene.
