== Walkthrough ==
[[File:Adoulin-mission-2-7-1-Rala-map.jpg|Rala Sluice Gate to Storage Container walk|thumb]]
* Head to (H-6) in [[Rala Waterways]], and retrieve the {{KI}} [[Waterway facility crank]] from the '''Storage Container'''.
**If you already are in Rala Waterways at the Sluice Gate from the last mission and have easy access to the [[Sneak]] status, it's faster just to run there directly. No need for invisible in this area.
**If you're coming from town, this is most easily accessed via [[Western Adoulin]] (K-8) from the '''Big Bridge''' [[Waypoint]].

* Return to the '''Sluice Gate''' (C-6) for a cutscene.
* Click the '''Sluice Gate''' to enter the area behind the gate.
** If progress in [[Rhapsodies of Vanadiel]] is at [[Rhapsodies of Vanadiel Mission 3-8]], the '''Inconspicuous Barrel''' is immediately on the right in the corner.
* Click the '''Antiquated Sluice Gate''' to enter the battlefield: [[Behind the Sluices (Battle)]].
**If you fail the fight you will have to run back to the storage container at (H-6) for another {{KI}} [[Waterway facility crank]].

*Notes for those assisting with the fight already completing it:
***They do not need a {{KI}} [[Waterway facility crank]].
***They also don't need to be near the '''Antiquated Sluice Gate''' - just somewhere in the zone, and they'll be teleported instantly when the fight begins.
***The reward message ''You have obtained 15000 bayld!'' seems to display only intermittently (rarely appearing even with no log filtering), but comparing bayld before-and-after the fight shows that the reward occurs even out the message.
***The party leader needs to be on the mission and needs to be the one interacting with the '''Antiquated Sluice Gate''', but the leader can be changed once the battle begins to improve trust selection.
***The fight can be repeated for the bayld bonus as soon as finishing it, prior to leaving the zone even while this mission is still active.
****A party can split up and go through one-by-one, repeating the fight with the next person. The last person to go through won't get a reward, but each other player would get rewards based on the number of times they repeated it.

==The Battle==
*You fight against four enemies.
*All four enemies run to a random target to perform weapon skills, regardless of hate.
**This causes [[skillchain]]s to happen on players so take care.
*Alter Ego [[Trust]]s may be summoned in this fight.
* At 119 this fight is not a problem with 5 Trusts.
** Mileage may vary, see "coldReactive's RDM Trust Solo Testimonial" on the [[Talk:{{PAGENAME}}#coldReactive's_RDM_Trust_Solo_Testimonial|discussion]] page.

*You fight alongside [[Arciela]]!
**[[Arciela]] will buff herself with '''Stoneskin''', '''Protect V''', and '''Shell V'''.
**[[Arciela]] will engage the enemies on her own after a player readies their battle stance (takes weapons out), but will stay put until then.
**[[Arciela]] can hold her own well, but will require healing. If she dies, you'll fail the mission.
**[[BGWiki:Trusts#Valaineral|Valaineral]] can be useful to hold hate off of her due to [[Uriel Blade]].

===Enemies===
'''The Keeper:''' (SCH/BLM)
:*Uses [[Gust Slash]], [[Cyclone]], [[Aeolian Edge]], and casts single target [[Kaustra]].
:*Can close a skillchain with Magic using [[Immanence]] after the Mistdagger is felled.
:*He is the most resistant to damage.
::*Recommended to fight last.

'''Mistdagger:''' (NIN)
:*Casts [[Ninjutsu]], and has access to all [[Katana]] weapon skills.

'''The Briars:''' (Galka) (WAR)
:*Has access to all [[:Category:Great Axe|Great Axe]] weapon skills, but is likely to use [[Full Break]] and [[Fell Cleave]].

'''The Briars:''' (Elvaan) (RDM/BLM)
:*Casts -aga 3 black magic and spells like [[Slow II]].
