== Walkthrough ==
*Talk to Carbuncle and receive the Rainbow Resonator.
====Elemental Avatar Battles====
*Defeat the six Prime Celestial Avatars.
*Like in the "Trial by" family of quests, the Prime avatars have access to the level 75 meritable Blood Pact: Rages.
**These attacks ignore Utsusemi and do ~1000 damage unresisted, be sure to keep Barspells and Carol on at all times.
::Ifrit Prime: Meteor Strike
::Shiva Prime: Heavenly Strike
::Garuda Prime: Wind Blade
::Titan Prime: Geocrush
::Ramuh Prime: Thunderstorm
::Leviathan Prime: Grand Fall
*The Avatars can use their Astral Flow attack at anytime, and is independent of the Avatar's HP.
*You can either tank the Avatar with Ninjas, or if you have enough Summoners, they can kill the avatar by themselves with physical Blood Pacts.
*Elemental Magic nukes of the Avatar's weak element do decent damage, but are better used on the elemental pets.
*Each Avatar is supported by four elementals that share hate with the avatar.
** A significant amount of damage must be inflicted on the elementals to pull them off of the avatar's target.
**As well as attacking the players, the elementals cure the avatar with tier IV elemental nukes.
**Elementals do not respawn when killed, but rather one is created when the avatar uses their level 75 meritable Blood Pact: Rages. A maximum number of four elementals will be out at any given time.
**The elementals' melee attacks have an added effect of the appropriate debuff of that element.
**The elementals are weak to melee attacks.
**A good number of Black Mages are important for killing the elementals. 5 -ga III spells of the opposing element will take out all of the elementals.
*You only need to defeat the avatar in order to win.
*Each BCNM will drop a few elemental clusters of the appropriate element after the win and each person will receive the following key items: 
:Eye of Flames (Cloister of Flames)
:Eye of Tremors (Cloister of Tremors)
:Eye of Tides (Cloister of Tides)
:Eye of Gales (Cloister of Gales)
:Eye of Frost (Cloister of Frost)
:Eye of Storms (Cloister of Storms)
===Final Battle===

*Once you have all 6 key items, proceed to Full Moon Fountain for the final battlefield and a cut scene.
**Battle name: "Waking the Beast". Player limit: 18. Time limit: 30 minutes.
***Buffs will NOT wear upon entry. 
*Once you defeat this final battlefield, random Avatar weapons may drop, and you will also receive a Faded Ruby. 
*The sequence for the battle is as such: 
**Carbuncle Prime will appear and will stay until he reaches 75% HP, at which point he'll disappear.
**In its place a random avatar prime will appear. When it's dead, Carbuncle Prime will appear.
**Deplete Carbuncle Prime's HP to 50%, and he'll disappear.
**In its place will appear two random avatar primes that have not appeared before. When they're dead, Carbuncle Prime will reappear.
**Deplete Carbuncle Prime's HP to 25%, and he'll disappear.
**In its place will appear three celestial avatar primes that have not appeared previously. Defeat them and Carbuncle Prime will reappear.
**This time there will be five Carbuncle Primes with 25% HP. The Carbuncles will astral flow upon the first prime defeat or their astral flow timer is up (about 1 minute). Defeat all five Carbuncles to win the battle. 
* After the battle choose either yes ("Disturber of Slumber" title) or no ("Interrupter of Dreams" title), if you want to give the energy back to the fountain or not.
*Return the Faded Ruby to Carbuncle in La Theine Plateau to finish the quest and receive Carbuncle's Pole.
*You may restart the quest after the weekly Conquest Tally Results.
