=== Walkthrough ===
*Talk to Ceraulian for a cutscene where he admits he missed his quota, and he requires a Gold Hairpin.
*Trade a Gold Hairpin to Ceraulian for another cutscene.
*Wait until after midnight Japan time and then talk to Ceraulian again.
*Go talk to Miaux in front of the Blacksmiths Guild in Northern San d'Oria, who gives you the Shiny Earring (key item). 
*Talk to Ceraulian for a clue to visit the Goldsmith's Guild. (Optional)
*Talk to Ardea in front of the Goldsmiths Guild in Bastok Markets.
*Head to West Ronfaure and talk to Esca (F-6) in a tower close to San d'Oria.
*You must now go to the small island in Batallia Downs, which you can only reach through The Eldieme Necropolis.
**To get to the island you will need at least one additional person. Both people can complete this quest at the same time if you work together. Your goal is to get to (G-9), which requires someone to hit the switches for you.
**Zone into the Eldieme Necropolis from Batallia Downs (I-10).
**The person who will act as the switch operator should head to the large room at (I-8) and then go west into the small hallway at (H-8). The switch there will control the doors for the other person.
**While the switch operator waits at (H-8), head to the small room at (H-9). If the door to the room is closed, the switch operator must flip the switch. Enter the (H-9) room.
**Once inside the room at (H-9), the switch operator must flip the switch. Titan's Gate will open. Proceed south through Titan's Gate.
**Head to the large room at (G-9). Note that the center bone pile contains a secret hole. Do not drop down until you are ready.
***If the switch operator wishes to join you, proceed north from the (G-9) room to find another switch. Operate the switch to allow the second person to pass through the small (H-9) room. 
**Sneak up and drop down the hole when ready.
**Once your down the hole follow the path east until you end up at a fork. Turn right and proceed south until you the zone at (J-9) to Batallia Downs. This will put you on the small island (Entrance 6)
*Once on the island, examine the ??? to the left of the entrance to spawn the NM tiger Sturmtiger.
**Sturmtiger attacks extremely fast, so blink tanking will be relatively ineffective.
**Highly susceptible to both slow and paralyze.
**Can be solo by a 75 BLM/RDM
**Easily defeated by a 75 RDM, 75 WAR, and 50 DRG.
**Trivial fight for solo 75 PUP using Valoredge Automaton.
**Defeated with slight difficulty by a 75WHM/37BRD with two 50DRG. Purgatory Mace and Genbu's Shield recommended.
*Defeat it and examine the ??? again for the Ranchuriome's Legacy (key item), and bring it back to Ceraulian in Port San d'Oria to finish the quest.
