Ixtab is located in the Phase 1 Shaft area of the Henne Mines. You can either walk to the Henne Mines through the Ozmone Plain or you can warp into them using an orange Save Crystal and backtrack your way to Phase 1 Shaft.

This Mark is extremely easy compared to the previous ones that you have likely already defeated at this point. The only difficulty you will face is that it might cast Doom on one or more of your party members and Doom cannot be removed using the spells you have, but you can use a Remedy if one of your party members has activate the Remedy Lore 3 License.
