Mountaintop Diplomacy - Quest Guide

Having failed to find the moogle you saw earlier, you and Alphinaud head to Gridania to ask the assistance of the moogles of the Twelveswood.

Requirements

This quest is available if you have completed the quest Beyond the Clouds, and have reached level 54.

Starting the Quest

Talk to Alphinaud to begin the quest. There will be a cutscene. This one is important, so it is recommended to watch it either now or via the Unending Journey in an inn room.

Speak with Alphinaud at Nophica's Altar

Before you leave, attune to the Churning Mists Aetheryte if you have not yet done so. Otherwise, you will have to go back up the spiral stairs in Anyx Trine in the Dravanian Forelands and go through the cave of Mourn as before, and talk to the Solemn Dragon in the northwest end of the cave to return to the Churning Mists.

When you are ready, go to Gridania and use the Aetheryte to go to the Conjurers' Guild Aethernet Shard. Talk to Alphinaud.

Enter the Lotus Stand

Go to the quest icon on the map and talk to the Silent Conjurer. Say Yes to proceed to the Lotus Stand. There will be a cutscene. This one is important, so it is recommended to watch it either now or via the Unending Journey in an inn room.

Speak with Alphinaud

Speak with Estinien at Moghome

Once you are back in the Churning Mists, go back through the archway between the two fluffy white lights, then go to the quest icon on the map and talk to Estinien. There will be a cutscene.
