You were correct for some reason she had no blue bubble on the map so I just hugged the wall and found her tucked in a corner. After I found her I found the remaining ones with ease. Thank you.

Pants Party you were once again correct with that lil "talk to me red bubble" trick by going from the world map to them about a dozen times.

For Rhago and Kate I did it about a dozen times he finally explained his situation and appeared in the pub ready for quest.

For Nora I had to world map and back to her in athlum for about 4 red bubbles to show up in melphinas pub.

For Loki it took about 4 red bubbles before he explained who reya was.

Thank you both for your time, patience and advice with me. I managed to get the mysterious woman to spawn. Down hill from here thank you again. The guide is wonderful, definatly highlight that world map to "insert named person who runs the quest" trick in it. Works like a charm.

-Cheers

[Otaku]

Don't worry about it, I couldn't find her in some places either so I know how confusing it can be

coz...most of the guide i read stated that the quest is a must do....and i do not wan to restart the whole game just becoz of the quest when i m at disk 2.

Im right there with you. I just started the second disk and checked this thread and noticed the only side quest i havent done so far is "At Hatred's End" so if any one can confirm that i dont need it to get the final two achievments that would be great.

[The Pants Party]

You absolutely DO NOT need that quest. I left it in the guide because I did it, but I did mention it can be skipped.

[Otaku]

Man I feel sorry for the people who restarted because of At Hatred's End alone, at least we know Squeenix haven't gone faggy on us

2. Baulson
Source: Baulson (Athlum - Warrior's Honor Pub)
Objective: Save the boy in the caves.
Reward: 500G, Baulson recruitable in Guild
Note 1: Do this quest immediately or it will expire!
Note 2: After the quest, you'll want to recruit Baulson and use him.

I seem to have trouble with the bandits at the end of the cave that have the boy. For one I'm the only one in my party besides Baulson that barely even does any damage, and by following the guide it states stat grind at a certain point. So why do I find myself stat grinding now because those monsters keep killing me. So what I'm doing is Spawing in Dillmoor killling everything than rinse and repeat. Until my level is high enough....... If anyone can give me some advice that would be greatly appericated

[Otaku]

From the sound of what you just said you've made the error a lot of people make
You failed to hire leaders from the guild in Athlum before doing the quest
Go back to Athlum and hire 2 people and put them in your union
Love your sig btw

[The Clutch Hand]

Thanks dude. Ok its a good thing I made a save after the first side quest than. So I'm going to do what you said hire two leaders from
Atlum and than I guess add them to my party?

[Otaku]

That would be correct sir

[The Clutch Hand]

Thanks dude appericate it, and thanks for praising my sig to. Since you helped me I'll return the favor if you want me to hook you up with a sig just let me know. I already hooked up two of my friends with one they love it. Just let me know, and thanks again........

[Otaku]

Hey no problem, I'm here to discuss, help and just plain annoy
I appreciate the offer (especially as you seem quite adept) but I'm good thanks xD

[VinasErgoth]

Ugh. I think I may have "missed" the Duke's quest after the 6 bases. I could've sworn that I'd spoken to him in between each one. I carried on the story and now I'm passed Koenigsdorf. I headed to the Den of Heroes in Ghor to talk to the messenger but there's no one there.

Does this mean I have to go back to an earlier save (I think I have one just before base 2 or 3) and do it all over again?

[Otaku]

You have to talk to the Duke first, then go to the pub
That's how it was for me anyway

[VinasErgoth]

According to the guide, you can do the quest after Koenigsdorf, right? I went to the castle first, but he's not there. Then I read you have to speak with a messenger first to activate it, but he's not there either.

[Otaku]

I'm pretty sure you have to do Darken Forest first, if the guide says after Koenigsdorf(sp?) then it's a mistake

[VinasErgoth]

Okay, I'll give that a go then. Hopefully you're right and I don't have to play through all that again. XD

Thanks.

[Otaku]

Just make sure you keep that save before the bases xD
Let us know if it appears after Darken Forest and if you have to talk to the Duke before going to the pub, it'll help the guide

[VinasErgoth]

Okay, so the quest was available AFTER the events at Darken Forest. I spoke with the Duke first, even though his bubble was white, and he mentioned the Third Committee and some sword. After that I headed to the pub and low and behold, the messenger was there. Phew.

I bought the two people and i can't put them in my union i made a seperate one. So I have three unions going, and everytime at the end of the cave monsters deal like 238 damage and my character only has 358 hp.

When you want to add people to an existing union (assuming there is adequate spaces) then you have to click "Replace units". It'll give you the chance to move units around, and even add them into your union.

Thanks dude just did it now lol... Appericate the help

[Otaku]

Glad you got the quest in the end, and yeah if you look in the guide it tells you he'll only have white bubbles until the actual quest
Well I hope Pants takes a look and edits the quest info
As for you Hand, do what Ergoth said xD

[VinasErgoth]

This game can be very stressful, but at the same time, I can't put it down. XD
Next quest is the one in Darken Forest. The guide says "DO NOT TAKE THE DEAD HEART FROM THE CHEST". I don't think I did, though I can't be too sure. Is it a special item or a component?

EDIT: Wait, nevermind. I re-read the guide and it says it's a remnant, not a remnant chest. My mistake. I know for a fact I've taken no remnants from Darken.

[Otaku]

Haha, I was gonna say "It's not in a chest!=o"

[VinasErgoth]

Heh, yeah I guess I should read closer next time. Also, the quest from Rhagoh.. Is it weird that I haven't even had 1 red bubble from him so far? I recruited him as soon as I could too.

I really want to do his quest so I can get some more pest toxins for my upgrades.

[Otaku]

Nah it's not weird, just go in talk to him, go to the world map and repeat until you get the quest

[M4573RP13]

I cant find "The Bossy Man" do start the "The Desert's Legend" quest

[Otaku]

I should probably read through this guide because there seems to be a few errors
I'm pretty sure you need to recruit Glenys from Nagapur before you can do The Desert's Legend

Also I have a slight addition to a quest:
18. After a Day's Work...
Source: White Sovani (Elysion - The Heavenly Terrace Pub)
Objective: Link 3 Qsiti's in the main entrance and kill them to receive quest item.
Reward: Shend Salia

You don't actually need to link them, you can fight one at a time, it shouldn't really matter but if someone is somehow weak enough for it to matter then I guess it'll help

[VinasErgoth]

A friend of mine was having trouble with this quest. He was taking them on one at a time for about an hour and wondering why he wasn't getting the item. I told him to link all 3 together and he got it right away.

[Otaku]

Really? When I did it I swear I didn't link them, ah well ignore what I said then
