==Walkthrough==
Trade enough [[Crystals]] to the [[Conquest NPC]] to raise your Rank bar and unlock the Mission, then accept it from the [[Gate Guard]].
*Talk to [[Iron Eater]] in [[Metalworks]] (J-8) for a cutscene.
*Make your way to the [[Throne Room]] in [[Castle Zvahl Keep]] HP #1.
*Gather up, and enter the "'''Where Two Paths Converge'''" fight when ready.
**Buffs will wear off once you enter, so do it inside.

==Boss Fight==
*You'll be facing a two-part fight against [[Zeid]].
{{Mission Battle Table
|Mission Battle Row=
{{Mission Battle Row
|Area= [[Throne Room]]
|Enemy= [[Zeid]] - Part 1
|Abilities=
|Notes= *Part one will consist of a simple fight.
*HP is shared between Part 1 and Part 2, with it being impossible to one-shot [[Zeid]] in Part 1.
**It is, however, possible to nuke him to 1% HP and then kill him before he swings in the next round.
*[[Zeid]] can use an AoE WS that has a Sleep effect, so consider using [[Poison Potion]]s. At around 65% health, you will get a small cutscene and [[Volker]] will now join your fight.
}}
{{Mission Battle Row
|Area= [[Throne Room]]
|Enemy= [[Zeid]] - Part 2
|Abilities=
|Notes= *Part two involves [[Volker]].
**You will need to keep him alive, should he fall, you will fail and be ejected from the BC.
*[[Zeid]] will now be able to summon 2 mobs called [[Shadow of Rage]]. They have a decent attack, but low HP. They are immune to [[Sleep]], so don't bother. Let the tank take all of them, and focus your damage on [[Zeid]] himself.
**[[Zeid]] will resummon them if they are defeated.
*[[Zeid]] CAN Skillchain with his Shadows, so be careful. Use your 2HRs if necessary, the fight isn't too difficult.
}}
}}
<br>
*Win the fight for another cutscene.
*Return to the '''President's Office''' and speak to [[Iron Eater]] for another cutscene.
*You will be rewarded, and complete the [[Bastok]] story!

==Notes==
*Although the first phase of this fight is very easy, the second phase requires more preparation. If trying to low-man this BC, it is advisable to kill Zeid's summons, as they can deal a substantial amount of damage if allowed to skillchain.
*Was able to win with level 75 DRK/NIN, WHM/BLM, and BRD/WHM (2 boxed), with the DRK using [[Dread Spikes]] in phase two and saving his tp to one shot one of the two initial summons.
*Valaineral got killed on the 3rd or 4th step of the skillchain when ignoring the summons on a 78 WAR/SAM
*You can still rush down Zeid after this, but if you are attempting this at more of an era level, then you may have more success swapping to the two summons and back onto Zeid in his 2nd form.
