Quest Details

The destination for this quest is the “Balmung Dark,” an area that was previously blocked off and inaccessible when we were travelling through the Ravenwit Walls. Travel to the Ravenwit Walls Obelisk, head up the stairs on your Chocobo, and into the Balmung Dark to find Dorys waiting there.

Riding Chocobo past the bombs on the bridge leading to Balmung Dark

The next step of the quest involves exploring the nearby corridors for survivors. Go through the open doorway on the left side and continue until you reach the two Akashic enemies blocking the way to the quest objective on the shelf.

Defeating the Akashic to reach the quest objective

Continue following the path, and ignore the next doorway and the stairs that appear on the left. Go past them until you reach the next two Akashic soldiers and inspect the document on the desk.

The last quest objective is on the ground at the end of the corridor. After inspecting it, you’ll get a new objective, which is on the second floor of the structure.

Inspecting the last quest objective on the ground

Before you go up the stairs, open the treasure coffer to obtain twenty Sharp Fangs.

Head to the right first to find a door with a treasure coffer behind it that contains an Empty Shard, 30 chunks of Wyrrite, and 30 Sharp Fangs.

After you’ve grabbed it, head down the other side of the hall into the large room filled with Akashic soldiers. After defeating them, continue to the end of the corridor to find Dorys exploring the room.

Speaking to Dorys to move on to the next part of the quest

The next objective involves going back down to the lower level to where you first met up with Dorys. Open the locked door on the right side of where she was standing.

Opening the previously locked gates on the main floor of Balmung Dark

Follow the pathway and grab the treasure coffer in the first room on the right, which contains an Amber, and then head down to the last room to find the lone “Survivor.”

Speaking with the hiding survivor

And, finally, the last step is to “slay the Kuza Beast,” which is the next Notorious Mark.
