Otami Ruins Guide (Open)

[dilann]

Long ago, there was a fierce civilization of warriors that built a huge empire in the area. So ferocious was their society that they tore themselves apart with their constant aggression. Eventually, the people themselves disappeared, leaving only their monolithic statues and ruins behind to tell their story. Jungles overgrow the entire area and what was once a massive city-state is now the home of monkeys and macaws.

Quests:

Blaze Rin Lin JerryMika
George

Missing Mika
Step 1: Speak with Jerry to accept the quest.
Step 2: Locate Mika on the Otami Cliffs and bring her back to Jerry. If you need help finding your way up to the cliffs, perhaps Blaze can help.
Step 3: Return to Jerry for your reward.
Notes: Once at the cliffs go right and Mika should be on the area overlooking the waterfall. Make sure you walk slowly. Mika gets easily distracted and if you are too far ahead she'll go back to the cliffs.

Returning Regular
Step 1: Speak with Jerry to accept the quest.
Step 2: Locate Peter at the True Believer's clearing in the Old Aqueduct and convince him to leave the clearing. George will be waiting just outside the clearing to return him to Barton Town.
Step 3: Return to Jerry in Otami Ruins once Peter has been convinced to return with George to Barton Town.
Notes: George doesn't always work. You may need to switch servers several times to find a working George. If none are working you will have to wait for the next server reset.


Around the Blood Tree
Step 1: Speak with Blaze to accept the quest.
Step 2: Walk around the Blood Tree. (When you are in the area where you can see the trunk of the Blood Tree simply just walk around the trunk without moving to a new box, until you get the red message confirming you have finished this step)
Step 3: Return to Blaze for your reward.

Aiding the Twins
Step 1: Speak with Blaze to accept the quest.
Step 2: Speak to Rin and Lin on the sacred cliffs in the west of Otami Ruins and do what they ask (In other words, do their first 3 quests).
Step 3: Return to Blaze behind the tree line in Otami Ruins.
Notes: After this you should head back to Jacquesat the Lighthouse to learn more about where to find Blaze's Father.
Special Rewards: Recipe: Otami Loincloth, Aiding the Twins Badge


Merit in the Eyes of the Spirits
Step 1: Speak with Rin to accept the quest.
Step 2: Lin's voice speaks in your mind unexpectedly. "Seek out the Feathered Coatl and find one of their tail plumes as the totem for that creature. I will know when you have it and will speak to you again about the next totem."
Step 3: Lin echoes in your mind: "The Tiny Terrors carry spears with which they torment the living. Bring one of their spear heads to us as their totem."
Step 4: Lin speaks to you in your mind: "The Unliving known as the Bladed Vases sometimes contain a spirit of their combatitiveness in the shape of a Mace Head. Bring that with you when you return."
Step 5: Lin speaks to your mind: "The most coveted of the totems of the Unliving is the Jeweled Eye of the Mask of Death and Rebirth. Fight them until you find one of those totems and bring it to us with the others."
Step 6: Return to Rin and Lin with the offerings you have gathered.
Notes: The steps must be done in this exact order. Keep checking your PDA if you are unsure of what step you are on.
Special Rewards: Recipe: Otami Feather Cloak


The Gauntlet
Step 1: Speak with Rin to accept the quest.
Step 2: High atop the cliffs above the ruins, you must find the idol of Chaloc, touch it, and then survive the Rain Spirit's Gauntlet.
Step 3: Return to Rin now that you have survived the Gauntlet to find out what you must next do to appease the Spirits.
Notes: You'll want to have some defensive and speed buffs on when you touch the statue, then run back to the entrance after the red message comes up. You can stay and attack the Animated that spawn after you touch the statue, but be warned, the Spirit Vases can pretty much 1-hit you. They do move slowly so if you want race a few maps up and start attacking the Masks, Coatls and Witch Doctors that spawn. Also because the masks have a quicksand effect you'll want most people in your party bringing scaredy cat rings. Try to stick together as much as possible and kill any masks you can't scare off so that no one in the party stays stuck. Once you get back to the Cliffs entrance you will have survived the Gauntlet.
Special Rewards: Recipe: Otami Grieves


The Stone Coatl
Step 1: Speak with Lin to accept the quest.
Step 2: Defeat the avatar of Chaloc in pitched battle within the Throne Room of the Otami.
Step 3: Return to Lin now that you've defeated Chaloc's avatar to receive your just rewards.
Notes: Initially upon entering the throne room you will get a moment to attack a few creatures that spawned before the Stone Coatl will warp you to it. You'll want to focus mostly on defeating the Coatl, as when it dies everything else that spawns in the chamber will die with it.
Special Rewards: Recipe: Spear of Chaloc, Recipe: Club of Huitzotl, or Recipe: Obsidian Maqhuitl (randomly rewards one of the three)

Animated:

Tiny Terror: These things are shrunken heads that have sprung back to life, sharing the same headhunter mentality that they fell prey to long ago. Their attacks and HP are nothing to write home about, but they usually travel in groups and are very good at swarming like fire ants. You can't really travel more than three screens in any direction without bumping into a few of these at every step in the ruins. Tiny Terros's in Otami are much more stronger than the Tiny Terror's in Old Aqueduct, also as you go higher places in Otami, they become more stronger, so be careful out there.
CL: 7.9-8.0
Drops:,,





Witch Doctor: They're distinguished from normal Tiny Terrors by their purple garb. Unlike Tiny Terrors, they can throw their spears pretty far, which are tipped with a poison that temporarily slows you down. This wouldn't be too dangerous if it weren't for the fact that almost all of them normally patrol in the Blood Tree area with four other Tiny Terrors. Combined with their high HP and their astonishing respawn rate, unprepared people can be easily overcome by the wrath of a small army of spear-wielding maniacs. The Witch Doctors that spawn in the Cliffs will have a higher HP.
CL: 8.4
Drops:








Feathered Coatl: They used to be statues, but now they're flying snakes. Imagine that. Well, you don't have to: they guard the lake area, the climb to the gauntlet, a certain treasure box, and the entrance to the west side of the cliffs area.In addition to being able to fly over any obstacle, they can push you backwards slightly, which is then compounded by the fact that they only spawn in groups, and a flock of these things can shove you all the way across a screen if you don't take them down fast.
CL: 7.9
Drops: , ,







Bladed Vase: This is one antique that you're going to have a tough time taking to an appraisal. They guard the temple and when you approach they'll begin spinning wildly with their blades outstretched.
CL: 7.9-8.0
Drops: , ,






Mask of Death and Rebirth: With a name as long as that, you know these things are tough. And they are. They're smart enough to attempt to stay out of melee range; they fire lasers out of their eyes, and they're hella tough. In addition to that, they have three different attacks depending on their form, which changes as you wear them down. There's your standard LAZOR BEEM that shoves you pretty far back, a constant spray of shots that eats away at your HP, and a poisonous gas that paralyzes you so you can't move to attack them at close range if you're too slow to get up in their grill. That last one's pretty nasty....you'll want to close the distance as soon as one sees you.They'll show up if you happen to cross a staircase that they're guarding. And they guard most of the staircases. So be wary when you cross one. There's also one that guards the temple entrance, and three particularly strong ones that sit in a row below the staircase to the Gauntlet. And don't think that you can snipe them from the staircase: they hover, so they'll basically be able to float over anything that's between you and them.
CL: 8.0-8.4
Drops: , ,







Lightning/Thunder/Storm: These Vases are not to be trifled with. They are undefeatable. Your only choice is to run from the vicious whirling blades of these death gods.
CL: 15
Drops:







Stone Coatl: The Avatar of Chaloc is the big daddy of everything in the ruins. Similar to a heavy metal concert, and it's also got the ability to pull you within its reach should you try to stay away from it. Somewhat a blessing in disguise, though....you'll never have to worry about being out of melee range.The fixtures in its lair also spout a neverending stream of enemies (simulating what could be perceived as a mosh pit), so be sure to stay out of range of that blasted death mask and shake off the rest with a little Dervish lovin. As soon as the giant snake dies, so do they, so try to focus on slaying it. Also, the door slams shut as soon as you enter, so there's no way out until you win or die.

It's really a very helpful guide :3  

[Dragoon of the Hells Gate]

Yes it is. Now if I was just strong enough to survive in there lol  

[KitzumiKita]

I've been in there twice now, solo. each time I was hoping a shorthanded crew would take me with them, only to have them deliberately attract animated, I kill off all the animated while they sit there, they then go in, and a moment later I get drug in. stressed  

[Dragoon of the Hells Gate]

You might want to lower the Feather Coastl's CL raiting because I was killing them with ease at 7.1
