Almet wishes to offer you words of warning.

— In-game description

Steps

• Speak with Y'shtola.
  ※ Solo Duty will comence upon speaking with Y'shtola.
• Speak with Thancred.

Journal

• Almet explains to you and Y'shtola the possible dangers that await within the final chamber of the pyramid, offering you whisperweed to use in the event you find yourselves separated. With her words in mind, you enter the chamber prepared for the worst.
• Once inside, you soon realize the chamber is a labyrinth, filled with magicked sentinels and perilous traps at every turn. The end is nearly in sight when you encounter a most unexpected obstacle: General Ran'jit. Uimet and Cymet follow him into the temple and, together with their sister, hold him off long enough for you to activate the final switch restoring the flow of aether through the whole of the pyramid, thus opening the path through the Qitana Ravel.
• Despite your success, Ran'jit has no intention of allowing you to leave. After making quick work of the Viis sisters, he comes barreling down the corridor toward you. His onslaught is cut short, however, when Y'shtola steps in the way to protect you with a barrier. The Eulmoran adjutant, finally taking notice of his general's struggles, rushes to help him when he steps on a curious panel on the floor. The room begins to tremble, and soon they find the floor falling out from under them, forcing them to a corner opposite the exit, a gaping chasm now preventing their escape.
• All present expect a rescue party to arrive, though it remains to be seen if the Scions or Eulmorans will arrive first. Still, not wanting to risk an altercation, the adjutant makes a proposal: a number of the Blessed have been poisoned, and the adjutant is willing to provide you with an antidote, granted he and his commander are allowed safe passage out of the temple. General Ran'jit is disgusted by this proposition, choosing to rid himself of the adjutant and any hope of saving the Blessed by kicking him into the chasm along with the antidote. Without thinking, Y'shtola leaps into the void, grabs hold of the antidote, and tosses it to you before disappearing into the dark.
• Her last words continue to ring in your ears as Minfilia, Thancred, and Urianger arrive. General Ran'jit has no time to react as he is summarily ensnared in an enchantment and sent down into the depths with a swift strike from Thancred's gunblade. A bittersweet victory, but victory nonetheless. With the antidote in hand, you take your leave of the pyramid with the Scions.
• The group is still reeling from Y'shtola's sacrifice, yet with the Night's Blessed all but knocking on death's door, you have no choice but to press on. Before rushing headlong into more danger, however, Thancred suggests waiting for news from Uimet of the Eulmoran forces that entered Yx'Maja.

Walkthrough

• For the first part of the solo duty, avoid getting caught by any sentinels. Watch their movements carefully and take advantage of any hiding spots you can find. If they catch you, they will inflict the Curse of Ronka. Too many of these stack, and you will die.
• When you reach the room with 4 giant sentinels, Y'shtola will create clones to distract the sentinels. It is best to Sprint to avoid their attention.
• Upon reaching the end of the room, you will be teleported to a room filled with poisonous mist. 3 teleporters will appear here. Be warned that the floor has arrows and will force you to go in the direction their facing. If you reach a blue teleporter, you will be transported back to the entrance of this room.
• Afterwards, you will have to run down a hall with giant boulders behind you. Hide in the crevices along the sides of the wall to avoid them and jump at the end of the path.
• As you make your way, you will encounter Ran'jit and one of his subordinates. Shortly after the fight begins, Almet, Uimet, and Cymet will hold them both in place. Run with Y'shtola into the next room and grab the Heart of Toupasa to end the Duty.
