There are 2 distinct paths to this mission and they can be done in either order.
=== Emerald Waters (San d'Oria Path) ===

{{tooltip|text=[[File:Jugner Forest.jpg|150px|right|thumb|Jugner Forest|link=]]|tooltip=[[File:Jugner Forest.jpg|link=]]}}
{{tooltip|text=[[File:Carpenters Landing-map1.jpg|150px|right|thumb|Carpenters' Landing|link=]]|tooltip=[[File:Carpenters Landing-map1.jpg|link=]]}}
=====Vicissitudes=====
*Zone into [[Northern San d'Oria]] for a cutscene.
*Head to the Cathedral and speak with [[Arnau]] at the alter (M-6).
*Speak with [[Chasalvige]], who is in the Cathedral's Manuscript room (L-6) for a cutscene.

=====Descendants of a Line Lost=====
*Head to [[Carpenters' Landing]] via the (E-6) entrance in [[Jugner Forest]].
*Speak with [[Guilloud]] at (H-10) to spawn the NM [[Overgrown Ivy]].
**This is a Malboro-type mob and can use [[Hundred Fists]]. You may need some high level help to defeat it if you are lower leveled.
*Speak with [[Guilloud]] again after defeating [[Overgrown Ivy]].

=====Louverance=====
*Speak with [[Hinaree]] at (B-6) in [[Southern San d'Oria]] upstairs in the Count's Manor for a cutscene to complete the San d'Oria path.

=== Memories of a Maiden (Windurst Path) ===

{{tooltip|text=[[File:Attohwa Chasm-map.jpg|150px|right|thumb|Attohwa Chasm|link=]]|tooltip=[[File:Attohwa Chasm-map.jpg|link=]]}}
=====Comedy Of Errors, (Act I)=====
*Zone into [[Windurst Waters]] for a cutscene.
*Speak to [[Ohbiru-Dohbiru]] at (J-9) inside the [[Rhinostery]], located in South [[Windurst Waters]] (Map 2), Home Point #3 will take you right next to it.
*Speak with [[Yoran-Oran]] at (E-5) in [[Windurst Walls]] (Home Point #1).
**Yoran-Oran offers other quests unrelated to this mission so you may need to speak with him multiple times to get the right cutscene.
*Speak with [[Kyume-Romeh]] at (F-10) in [[Windurst Waters]]. He is in the Tavern. Home Point #4 will take you near it.

=====Comedy of Errors, (Act II)=====
*Head to [[Windurst Waters]] (South Map Home Point #3) and speak with [[Honoi-Gomoi]] at (E-7). They are upstairs behind the house to receive the {{KI}}[[Cracked Mimeo Mirror]].
*Head back to [[Windurst Walls]] (Home Point #1) and speak with [[Yoran-Oran]] (E-5) again.
*Travel to (K-8) in [[Attohwa Chasm]] and look for a spot marked as "'''Loose Sand'''".
**Fastest way to the [[Attohwa Chasm|Chasm]] is to use [[Unity Warp]] level 125.
*To reach the '''Loose Sand''' you'll have to walk around the perimeter of [[Parradamo Tor]]: Start north, proceed north-east, then south until you reach (L-8).
**From (L-8), walk briefly west to reach (K-8) and the ''"Loose Sand"''. It is in a dead-end underneath some fancy Attohwa trees.
*Clicking the '''Loose Sand''' spawns an NM [[Antlion]] around level 55 named [[Lioumere]].
**The spawning player will be hit with {{physical}} Pit Ambush upon spawning.
**Half of Lioumere's TP moves are physical while the sand named ones are {{earth}} {{color|earth|Earth}}, and it is weakest to {{wind}} {{color|wind|Wind}} and {{light}} {{color|light|Light}}.
**After Lioumere uses a TP move (like Sandblast or Sandtrap), it will return to the ''Loose Sand'' and recover all its HP. So it is recommended to pull it away from the Loose Sand after spawning.
**[[Sleep]], [[Bind]], [[Stun]], [[Gravity]] and a multitude of other [[Status Effects|Enfeebles]] will land and help prevent it from returning to the ''Loose Sand''.
*'''Read the following four points after defeating the NM, but before clicking on the Loose Sand a second time:'''
# You will receive a {{KI}} [[Mimeo Jewel]] after clicking the '''Loose Sand''' targetable location.
# You will have exactly 30 Earth minutes to climb to the top of [[Parradamo Tor]] and reach the '''Cradle of Rebirth''' before the {{KI}} [[Mimeo Jewel]] breaks.
# The [[Mimeo Jewel|Jewel]] will also '''IMMEDIATELY BREAK''' upon using a [[Mount]], zoning, or disconnecting.
# If the [[Mimeo Jewel|Jewel]] breaks, you will need to return to the '''Loose Sand''' and obtain another {{KI}} [[Mimeo Jewel]]. You will not have to re-fight the NM.
:*This can be quite frustrating for a lot of players because the path to the top is not clearly defined and falling off may mean 30 minutes or more of lost progress.

=====Parradamo Tor=====
*After reading the points above, stand directly on top of the '''Loose Sand''' to obtain your {{KI}} [[Mimeo Jewel]].
*Make your way up [[Parradamo Tor]].
**See the '''[[Parradamo Tor]]''' page for help climbing the mountain.
***Keep your camera facing the mountain and go slow, rather than wasting time falling down and starting over.
*To reach the base of the mountain at (K-9), turn around from the '''Loose Sand''' and proceed south-east to then hug the right wall while proceeding north-west. The base is actually rather close after all that prior running to the '''Loose Sand'''.
**After the base comes within view proceed south-west, behind the rock is the ramp to the path upwards.
*Once you reach the top with your [[Mimeo Jewel|Jewel]] (and sanity!) intact, check the '''Cradle of Rebirth''' to obtain 3 Key Items: {{KI}} [[Mimeo Feather]], {{KI}} [[Second Mimeo Feather]], and {{KI}} [[Third Mimeo Feather]].
*Before leaving, if you have started the quest [[Researchers from the West]] which unlocks [[Proto-Waypoint|Proto-Waypoints]], go to northwest of the '''Cradle of Rebirth''' to interact with the [[Geomagnetic Fount]], so that you may teleport back to this peak anytime.

=====Exit Stage Left=====
*'''(Optional)''' Report to [[Kyume-Romeh]] at (F-10) in [[Windurst Waters]].
*Return to [[Yoran-Oran]] in [[Windurst Walls]] (Home Point #1) once again.
*Speak with [[Yujuju]] at (M-6) in [[Port Windurst]]. (Near the Air Travel Agency)
**[[Port Windurst]] Home Point #3
*Head inside the eastern half of the [[Optistery]] in [[Windurst Waters]] (North) to speak with [[Tosuka-Porika]] at (G-8).
**[[Windurst Waters]] Home Point #1.
*Head back and talk to [[Yoran-Oran]] one final time to complete the Windurst path.
