* Set your home point to [[Camp Drybone]], as you will likely die a few times attempting this.

Search for a phial of Rhalgr's Bile at the Sepulchre in southern Thanalan.
* At the start, ignore the yells from Mylla to run up to the bridge, instead focus on taking out the melee and caster NPCs along the stairs on your way up. In particular, watch out for the two Lallafell Humility of the Alacran casters, as they can do some serious damage.
 
* After you get to the top of the stairs immediately engage Gotwin Halehex and kill him. If you have time before the next named NPC spawns, help take out some of the level 34s nearby.
Show the evidence to Mylla.
* Once Gigirya the Guarded spawns, immediately focus on him. Either at a certain health percentage or after a set amount of time, he will spawn a voidsent. Try to kill him before this occurs, as it makes the fight significantly easier. If you cannot kill him before he starts summoning, watch for his spell "Void Call" and use [[Shield Bash]] to interrupt.
 
* If you do not manage to stop the voidsent from being spawned, kite it away from the rest of your NPCs to the right near the stairs where you originally started. '''Do not go all the way down the stairs as this will reset the event'''. Keep the the frontal cone attack of the voidsent pointed away from Mylla and the other NPCs, and do not get caught in it, as it will do serious damage.
Show the evidence to the priest at Highbridge in eastern Thanalan.
* Keep focus on Gigirya the Guarded even after the voidsent is spawned, until he is dead. At this point, tank the voidsent away from the rest of the NPCs.

First Sword Mylla is extremely upset due to a recent turn of events...

Aldis has been arrested by the Brass Blades on suspicion of plotting to assassinate the sultana. Mylla believes the accusations to be an Alacran machination, and bids you to speak with Wymond on the Steps of Nald to see what information you can uncover regarding the conspiracy.

Wymond informs you that the poison found in Aldis's possession was Rhalgr's Bile. The recipe for this rare and expensive concoction is said to be a closely guarded secret of the Corpse Brigade, a gang of criminals headquartered at the Sepulchre in southern Thanalan. Infiltrate the Sepulchre and search for evidence that proves the Corpse Brigade supplied the Alacran with the poison.

Your search yields a vial of Rhalgr's Bile, along with records proving that the poison was sold to the Alacran, not Aldis. Report your findings to Mylla at the Gladiators' Guild.

Althought the guildmaster is overjoyed by your discovery, it seems your efforts may be for naught. The Sacrarium has ordered Aldis's execution, and your only hope of saving him is to present the evidence to the official overseeing the proceedings at Highbridge in eastern Thanalan. Hurry to the execution site and save Aldis from the headsman!

Aldis's execution serves to draw Leavold out of hidin, and the former champions face each other in single combat. As they duel, you and your guildmates battle Alacran henchmen atop the bridge. You defeat the criminals in time to see Aldis disarm Leavold, who chooses to take his own life rather than surrender to his rival. Return to the Gladiators' Guild and discuss the events of recent days with Mylla.

Having finally put an end to Leavold's machinations, Aldis decides to leave Ul'dah. Before he departs, he teaches you Shield Swipe, an advanced technique that serve him well in the Coliseum. He explains that he used it to defeat Leavold in his last official match seven years ago-- a match that triggered the events that would tear the two men and the woman they loved apart. After watching Aldis walk out of her life once more, Mylla rallies her gathered gladiators, declaring that they all have the potential for greatness-- but that it is up to them to determine their own destinies.
