Walkthrough

Main article: Relic Weapons/Quest#A Relic Reborn

This is not a job quest! Instead, this is the beginning of A Realm Reborn's Relic Weapons questline
Relic weapons from past expansions are not intended for combat use, but for cosmetic, achievements, and collection purposes. Weapons of similar power, for the same player level, that are much more easily obtainable and are intended for character progression can be bought with Allagan Tomestones of Poetics.

Note: While A Relic Reborn must be completed for each Zodiac Weapon, raising the weapon to a Zenith Zodiac weapon only requires accessing the furnace near Gerolt with the required amount of Thavnairian Mist. The next quest, Up in Arms, need only be completed once.

Journal

• Gerolt has the air of a man defeated.

• Gerolt has reluctantly agreed to lend his expertise to the restoration of a legendary arm of yore. For the first step, the weaponsmith bids you venture within U'Ghamaro Mines in outer La Noscea to retrieve the lost Thyrus. Search for a vessel in which the valuable relic might be kept.

• You have obtained the timeworn Thyrus. Make your way back to Hyrstmill and present the relic to Gerolt.

• According to Gerolt, the restoration process involves merging the old with the new─that is, embedding the original relic in a new host weapon. To this end, you must bring him a madman's whispering rod melded with two grade three quicktongue materia.

• You have delivered the materia-enhanced madman's whispering rod to Gerolt. The weaponsmith next directs you to go to the Weeping Saint in the Coerthas central highlands, and obtain alumina salts from the dhorme chimera.
  • ※The dhorme chimera can be confronted via the Duty Finder upon examining the quest destination.
  • ※This objective must be completed as a white mage.

• You have painstakingly obtained the pinch of alumina salts. Make your way back to Hyrstmill and deliver it to Gerolt.

• Using the alumina salts you brought him, Gerolt adds the finishing touches to your relic weapon. Even as he declares his work over, however, the man believes that there is still something incomplete about it. In order to shed light upon the mystery, Gerolt suggests that you seek out literature surrounding the hero associated with the relic. Perhaps the trader Rowena back at Revenant's Toll will be able to assist you in this endeavor.

• You have consulted Rowena, who agrees to procure the literature you seek...for a price. For your part of the deal, you must obtain for her an Amdapor glyph. Make your way through Amdapor Keep in the South Shroud, and procure this artifact.
  • ※Amdapor Keep can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
  • ※This objective must be completed as a white mage.

• You have successfully obtained an Amdapor glyph. Make your way back to Revenant's Toll and deliver it to Rowena.

• You give the Amdapor glyph to Rowena, who upholds her promise and furnishes you a copy of Interview with the Padjal. You now possess literature on the hero who once wielded the relic weapon. Gerolt the weaponsmith will be keen to peruse it.

• After a cursory examination of the text, Gerolt declares that he will require some time to make sense of its contents. In the meantime, you are to familiarize yourself with the restored weapon in its current state. Arm yourself with the unfinished Thyrus, make your way to U'Ghamaro Mines in outer La Noscea, and there slay eight U'Ghamaro quarrymen, eight U'Ghamaro priests, and eight U'Ghamaro bedesmen.

• You have defeated the specified kobolds. Return to Hyrstmill and report your success to Gerolt.

• Upon your return, Gerolt deduces that you must face mightier adversaries if you are to experience a revelation pertaining to your relic. To this end, he bids you challenge the hydra within Halatali, the abandoned training grounds situated in eastern Thanalan. Armed with the unfinished Thyrus, enter Halatali and defeat the hydra.
  • ※The hydra can be confronted via the Duty Finder upon examining the quest destination.

• You have overcome the hydra. Take word of your accomplishment back to Gerolt at Hyrstmill.

• Combining information gleaned from the text with your firsthand experience, Gerolt has ascertained what must be done next. Hand over the unfinished Thyrus to the weaponsmith.

• Gerolt declares that but one step remains in the restoration. In order to create the raging fire that he needs, the weaponsmith bids you fetch him a white-hot ember, a howling gale, and a chunk of hyperfused ore. The first of these can be obtained by defeating Ifrit within the Bowl of Embers (Hard).
  • ※The Bowl of Embers (Hard) can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
  • ※This objective must be completed as a white mage.

• You have extinguished the Lord of the Inferno and obtained a white-hot ember. Next, take on Garuda in the Howling Eye (Hard) and defeat her to obtain a howling gale.
  • ※The Howling Eye (Hard) can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
  • ※This objective must be completed as a white mage.

• You have silenced the Lady of the Vortex and obtained a howling gale. Next, take on Titan in the Navel (Hard) and defeat him to obtain a chunk of hyperfused ore.
  • ※The Navel (Hard) can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
  • ※This objective must be completed as a white mage.

• You have buried the Lord of Crags and obtained a chunk of hyperfused ore. Deliver it along with the white-hot ember and the howling gale to Gerolt.

• You have delivered the three items Gerolt requires to create a raging fire. Now he only wants for a bottle of Radz–at–Han quenching oil to complete the restoration of your relic. Obtain this item and deliver it to the weaponsmith.

• You have delivered a bottle of Radz–at–Han quenching oil to Gerolt, who promptly sees to the final stage of the restoration process. After no small amount of effort and perseverance, you are now the proud owner of Thyrus. May it serve you well in your adventures to come!

Dialogue

Thyrus Dialogue 1

Gerolt: ...Eh? ...A relic weapon for white magic? Never heard of one. Ye sure ye ain't been on the drink? ...Hm? What's that?

Gerolt: Uh-huh... So, this A-Towa-Cant was the keeper of white magic, was he? If it's as ye say, it might be as I know of jus' the thing, the enchanted staff Thyrus.

Gerolt: It's a priceless heirloom what belonged to the Cant clan, one of the foremost families in Gridania. Thing is, it went missin' some decades ago, along with its owner, none other'n A-Towa-Cant.

Gerolt: The bloke was known for bein' a bit of an eccentric among his kind. Whereas most Padjals live out their days in the Black Shroud, he went off in search of elementals in distant lands.

Gerolt: With Thyrus for company, he roamed the realm, lendin' a helpin' hand to the folk he met on his travels. Seems, though, he couldn't do much to help himself out when he set foot in O'Ghomoro -- the man was never heard from again, an' neither was his staff.

Gerolt: As fate would have it, A-Towa-Cant was the last of his blood, an' his line guttered out with him. Right tragic, I know, but we can shed tears for him another time.

Gerolt: Gettin' back to the matter at hand, it seems a fair bet that Thyrus is lyin' around somewhere in U'Ghamaro Mines, just out of the poor sod's skeletal grasp, like -- gods rest his soul.

Thyrus Dialogue 2

Gerolt: But what's done is done...or in this case, not done. Anyroad, let's talk about that text ye brought. It contains the writin's of a thaumaturge of Arrzaneth Ossuary.

Gerolt: The bloke wrote of his meetin' with our Padjali friend, A-Towa-Cant, who was payin' visit to Ul'dah at the time. Can't blame the man for wantin' to have himself a bit of fun, eh?

Gerolt: Their conversation bored me nigh to tears, but ye'll be pleased to hear the name Thyrus did eventually appear. As yer no doubt aware, wood's the most common material used in the makin' of conjury arms.

Gerolt: But on seein' that A-Towa-Cant's staff was wrought of stone, our thaumaturge decided to inquire as to its makin'.

Gerolt: 'Course, bein' a Padjal, A-Towa gave his "answer" in the form of a bloody riddle...

Gerolt: But I'll spare ye the headache an' give it to ye plain: Thyrus is made of petrified wood, an' therein lies our problem.

Gerolt: I went an' used ordinary stone to fill in the missin' bits, see, an' it obviously didn't do the trick.
