This quest is available if you have completed the quest Promises Kept.

Starting the Quest

Talk to Alphinaud in Fortemps Manor in Ishgard to begin the quest. There will be a cutscene.

Speak with Alphinaud

To go to Camp Dragonhead, you can either teleport there, or exit the manor and use the Aethernet Shard to go to Coerthas Central Highlands via the Gates of Judgement, and go east to where the orange arrow is pointing in the minimap. Talk to Alphinaud to proceed.

Speak with the Steadfast Knight

Go east to where the orange arrow is pointing in the minimap and talk to the Steadfast House Fortemps Knight.

Xelphatol

After you complete the duty in Xelphatol and exit the area, 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.
