Now you follow the path (which is basically one way, the rest are dead ends). Just keep taking the path that leads upward and you'll make it to another hole. This is the hard fall, because you cant really see the ledge you want to fall on. The ledge that you want to fall on is a little to the right of the hole your looking out of. What I do is stand as far right of the hole as possible, walk off, and nudge my character right a notch or two. The ledge is very narrow, so you'll probably need a bit of luck to land on it. (Those that make it will know what I mean)

This information is incorrect. I found out the hardway that you're wrong. To make it to the SECOND ledge you must fall from the LEFT side of the cave. I was just there 10 minutes ago and I logged to read this guide then logged back in and fell from the right and was SO SO SO far away. I ran back and looked up at the cliff and I ran off the totally wrong side.

So just to clarify: RUN OF THE LEFT SIDE. I was incredibly pissed off by this misinformation since its a huge pain in the ass to get up there and into the 1st cave.

(Left with the camera to your back as you look out of the cave.)

As I already stated in a previous reply, there are two different entrances to the cave. Apparently theres another cave you can fall into, aside from the ledge at the very bottom. Maybe the first way was easier, but you cant say that I'm wrong when I completed my way.

If you run away from the cliff and look at it, there are two caves at the very bottom. I fell into the right one.

I think thats where things are getting confused. You're talking about the cave on the right when you look at the cliff from the very bottom. Which would make it you right.

While I'm talking about the cave from looking *Out of* the cave. Which would make it my left.

Yes, this was already addressed in a previous reply.

Yes. Bring a friend or two. There's a fight on Purgonorgo Island, and I died as a level 61 WHM trying to solo it. With a couple of friends, it was child's play. Due to the nature of the fight, I suspect a well balanced, 6 person, level 40 or so group would be able to finish the fight, but I'm not certain.

That's not the end of the mission, though, and there's a fairly spectacular cutscene later on.

Thanks, I did it a few days ago.

As for the 8-mandragora NM fight, it was kind of a joke. I have no doubt a 61RDM could solo it with capped enhancing, Phalanx, Stoneskin, Shock Spikes and proper food/equips (I actually subbed BLM, but I'm going to go back and try it with WAR sub just for fun).

I was joined by a lower-level BRD and a high-level MNK after getting there. I used -ga spells to get their hate and tank them while the BRD used Horde Lullaby. Sleepga probably would have done just as well.

I would agree with an early 40s PT being able to take them. Actually, BC40 Mandy strat would work perfectly on them and be even easier because these guys seem to have less HP and don't use any powerful spells.

The hardest part was actually finding Boneyard Gully, which I needed to search around for directions to. I'm guessing the Attohwa Chasm mobs range from the mid-30s for the worms and hecteyes (might be a good place to try if the Gazers are camped) to 70+ in the range near Boneyard Gully.

I just wanted to say thank you Wild. Your walkthrough was spot on, and I doubt I would have ever completed this quest without your work and writeup.

The only things I could add were that the ledge I used was the S one versus the W one once you get to the end of the counter clock walk. I also put my marker at the bottom of the no map sign, and rotated the camera to look down. I had no idea where the whole was, but there was a small outcropping of snow when you look down. It is very hard to notice, but it stands out at least a little bit from the rest of the straight line of the cliff. I put myself over that, crossed my fingers, and lept off.

Near that outcropping I fell into a hole. Wandering around those tunnels there and spamming tab I found the ???. I didn't have to do another drop, but I must have just fallen into a different hole.

At any rate thanks again. It's rather an annoying zone, but the map is sure nice to have, and I have you to thank for it Wild. Much appreciated.

I soloed the attohwa chasm map at 61 thief, bloodybolts rule all.

Pre-req Quests for Map Quest

Hi,

I wanted to activate the map quest. I've visited the house
and read the diary up to page 4 and went back to the npc. All
I get is his last response from the 5 hare meat quest. I also did
the quest in the pub to go west ronfaure to examine the 3
??? spots for papers. My fame level is at 7. I wanted to know
what else I may be possibly lacking in pre-requisites for the map
to Uleguerand Range Map Quest. Help on answering would
be much appreciated ^^

Well, obvious question is whether you have CoP installed and registered. Can't get a map for a CoP area if the game doesn't think you have CoP.

Beyond that, there's another quest or two involved with that diary, try doing those. If you haven't done the hare meat quest yet (merely started it), do that too.

Failing that, get more fame. Uleguerand is a very high level area (with significant risk between all the various aggro-types there), so if you're high enough to be poking your nose around there, you're presumably high enough to bump your fame up to max.

Failing *that*, there's got to be some other prerequisite, but damned if I have any idea what it could be.

bumped up fame 1 lvl to lvl 8 for Sandy
got the quest thanks

[JadeNightshade]

let me just say..
after doing the map quests, the bomb quest, and enm quests here..
the range is the scariest, most evil place in all of vana'diel!

those molechs and stuff are the biggest pain in the ass..
...I can honestly say I hate that place.
