The Reason Roaille

Main Scenario Quest Template:Quest

Walkthrough

This can be a very hard duty. Keeping your smaller guys alive is as important as keeping Ilberd alive because they distract the reinforcements.

The following worked for me (after 10 attempts) with an ilvl 100 Dragoon, your milage may vary.

• Don't bother attacking Eline the Razor, you can't kill her
• Kill the 7th Cohort Mediucs
• Destroy the 7th Cohort Centurion
• Kill/AoE some little guys if possible
• Destroy the 7th Cohort Death Claw which attaches to Ilberd ASAP
• Kill both 7th Cohort Sagittarius as they will wipe out most of your little guys
• Destroy the other 7th Cohort Death Claw
• Kill the 7th Cohort Aquilifier which is helping the 7th Cohort Colossus
• Destroy the 7th Cohort Colossus
• Kill/AoE some more little guys if possible
• Aggro and destroy the last three mechs while hoping Ilberd doesn't die

Steps

• Speak with Alphinaud.

• Speak with Ilberd at Camp Bluefog, in northern Thanalan.

• Speak with Ilberd at the Ceruleum Processing Plant.

• Speak with Alphinaud.

Journal

• Minfilia would discuss how best to proceed in light of recent developments.

• Minfilia has scarcely begun to tell you of her intent to study the great wyrm Midgardsormr when some manner of commotion erupts just outside the solar. Do as the Antecedent bids and see if aught is amiss.

• A clearly agitated Alphinaud informs you that Eline Roaille has somehow managed to slip her confines and escape. He believes that the disgraced flame marshal means to flee to her imperial masters at Castrum Meridianum. Make haste to Camp Bluefog in northern Thanalan, and join Ilberd and the 1st Unit in their hunt for the fugitive.

• You arrive at Camp Bluefog to the news that Eline Roaille passed through scarcely a bell before. Follow Captain Ilberd to the nearby Ceruleum Processing Plant, the next notable landmark on the way to Castrum Meridianum.

• You overtake Eline Roaille at Raubahn's Push, but not before she is joined by her imperial allies. Undeterred, you stand shoulder to shoulder with the Crystal Braves and the shinobi of Doma, and engage the enemy, succeeding at length in overwhelming the Garleans and recapturing the fugitive. Wholly unrepentant, Eline greets the subsequent arrival of Alphinaud with a hail of vitriol, and is lambasted by Ilberd for her shamelessness before being dragged away. Ask Alphinaud for his thoughts on the heated exchange.

• Alphinaud seems troubled. Though the sordid business of the Ivy is concluded, it has plainly left an unpleasant taste in his mouth.
