Quest Details

Next, talk to Ronan, the Cursebreaker in the mess.

Following those two conversations, make for The Auldhyl Docks Obelisk and search the two for two bottles of Shipwright’s Tallow.

Obtaining the Shipwright’s Tallow in the Auldhyl Docks

After you have them both, travel to the Dravozd Obelisk, hop on your Chocobo, and head towards Uld Bizda in the northern section of the fields of Corava. Once there, you’ll find a “Desert Tor”, which is just another tortoise enemy with the same moveset as the ones you’ve faced before. You’ll receive the Adamantoise Shell after defeating it.
