The Cie’th Stone for this mission is located in the middle of the Central Expanse in the Archylte Steppe up against a cliff.
Unfortunately the mark for this mission is a long ways away. This mission will have you travelling all the way to the Northern Highplain of the Archylte Steppe. You will have to run past a Behemoth King and Megistotherian that are battling one another so be careful not to touch them as you sneak past.
Use the map below to help you track down the mark.
If you are completing this mission during your travels through Chapter 11 don’t hesitate to engage in some battles with the nearby monsters to help build up your characters and give them some Crystogen Points (CP). Some of the upcoming missions will be fairly difficult, although this one isn’t too bad.
Class: C
HP: 270,000
It’s very easy to sneak up on the Ambling Bellows given its slow patrol pattern, but you will need to stagger it more than once as it has a ton of HP. Once the first stagger wears off you should switch to a more defensive paradigm or to Evened Odds in order to get buffs and debuffs applied to the mark and your party members respectively.
If you take too long during this fight or spend too much time after the first stagger before you get the next one rolling, the Ambling Bellows may summon Hoplite enemies, which you will not have seen before. Quickly take them down before the damage from all opponents begins overpowering your party members
The next Cie’th Stone is also located in the Northern Highplain, but back up and out of the valley where the Behemoth King and Megistotherian are fighting. Venture a bit further into the Highplain and you’ll see the Cie’th Stone flashing on the map.
