== Walkthrough ==

Head to (J-12) in [[Sea Serpent Grotto]] and examine the sparkling '''???''' near the lake at (J-12) for a cutscene.

There's a couple easy ways to get there, both of which take about the same amount of time.

====Option 1: Just Walk====
[[File:Sea_Serpent_Grotto-map1.jpg|384x384px|thumbnail|Map 1]]
:*Exit Norg on foot (not chocobo!) to the South (H-10).
:*You're now on Map 1 at (F-1) of [[Sea Serpent Grotto]]. Keep following the tunnel southward until you get to an apparent dead end near a torch at (H-6).
:* There's a hidden door here that has a blank label when you target it, and will open it when you interact with it. It's always unlocked - open it and proceed.
:** (This is usually the entrance you'd need to find when getting into Norg traditionally.)
:*From here, take an immediate left to go north-east to J-5, and then a right (southward) to the one-way drop down at K-7. Continue!
:*Now hug the left wall as you go forward, ignoring the ''Ornamented Door' (J-10) and proceeding down the tunnel to the left, until you reach a large room (K-11).
:*The sparkling '''???''' is right in front of you on the edge of the water (J-12).

====Option 2: Unity Warp====
:* Use [[Unity Warp]] 125 for [[Sea Serpent Grotto]] to get to the zone.
:**You may want to [[Sneak]] in advance, as [[Mousse]] are aggressive to sound even at level 75+, and do spawn in this stretch.
:*You're now on Map 4 just past what is colloquially called '''"Gold Door"''' (it's actually blank when targeted), but you actually want to go back in its direction toward the Northeast to the other side of it.
:*Target/tab to find the blank-labelled door at M-5 and proceed ahead. You're back on Map 1 at (I-14).
:**Normally if you were coming from the other side you'd need to trade it a [[Gold Beastcoin]] to open it, but you don't need that as you're coming from the inside.
:**If you interact with it from the outside repeatedly (6 times!) you'll get a message about "something gold glittering" around the small indentation in the wall.
:*Once you pass through the door the lake is directly ahead, run around to the Northeast side of it at (J-12) to check the '''???'''.

===Post-Cutscene===

Before you instinctively warp away, consider taking advantage of your location for [[Rhapsodies_of_Vanadiel_Mission_1-15|the next mission]]. You might want to walk there!

The return-route one-way tunnel is located at (H-8), and at the Cracked Wall (on the map) blank-targetable door at (E-6) you can either:
:* Continue to Norg to rent a chocobo (just to the right of the entrance from [[Marilleune]]
:**...which puts you at the same place that a Unity warp would: (F-11)
:* Or, take a right and hug the left wall to pick up the [[Survival Guide]] at (M-3) of [[Sea Serpent Grotto]]
:**...[[Escape]] will take you here too!: (E-11)
:**From here, a mount takes a little over 30 seconds through the tunnel to get to the next destination.
