Bring a THF along with you and ensure he/she has Thief Tools to pick the lock on the Iron Door at (G-8). Otherwise you will have to camp Fomor mobs (shadow versions of the assorted jobs) for a Bronze Key to unlock the door. After passing through the Iron Door, proceed to (C-8) and check the Wooden Stairs. A cutscene with Nag'molada will occur.

Important Note: If you plan on having a Thief pick open the Iron Door, they MUST have Thief's Tools! Living Keys and Skeleton Keys WILL NOT WORK.

After the cutscene, climb the ladder and follow the hallway to reach a room with targetable oil lamps. Along the way to the room, you will encounter two Taurus mobs in the hallway. It is important you only pull ONE at a time, as both are IT++ and will decimate your PT. On the other side of the door, you will encounter more Fomor mobs, so have Sneak up before opening the door. Once inside, go around the shelving and hit the ??? to open a hidden door. This leads you to the candle room.

The candle room puzzle is dependant upon the current Vanadiel day. For reference, here is the elemental chart:

Fire is strong to Ice
Ice is strong to Wind
Wind is strong to Earth
Earth is strong to Lightning
Lightning is strong to Water
Water is strong to Fire
Light and Dark are equal to each other

**Elemental Strength/Weakness chart taken from Advanced Guide to Gardening Guide.**

In candle room (E-8 on second map), press the candles that represent the element of the current Vanadiel day and the element that is weak to the current Vanadiel day (example: Iceday would be Ice candle and Wind candle) to open the hidden door in the center of the passage. The hidden door will only remain open for a short time (10-15 seconds I believe), so be quick. Open one Ornate Gate and then check the second Ornate Gate to get a cutscene.

In the Aqueducts, Stegosaurs have true sight which sees through Sneak/Invis so be sure to stay clear of them as much as you can. Otherwise, cast Sneak or Silent Oil is sufficient in the aqueducts. The boss, Minotaur, is located at (J-2) of the 2nd map (refer to Lonely VanaDiel). Beware that if anyone approaches near J-2, the whole alliance MAY be suddenly teleported to the Minotaur without warning. Useful medicines to bring along: Echo Drops, Holy Water. Alliance fight possible.
After the fight, backtrack towards (G-8) where you will be blocked by an Iron Gate. This gate can be opened either with a EX/RARE Bronze Key or with Thief's picking tools. Bronze Key are rare drops from the Dark Stalker types mobs. Check the Wooden Ladder at (C-8) for a cutscene. You'll reach an area with targetable Oil Lamps. Check what elemental day it is currently and then get to the lamps of that element and its opposing element. Pull them both simultaneously to reveal a hidden door and enter. Check the 2nd Ornate Gate for event. After the event, head back to Tavnazian Safehold and talk to Justinus to end the mission.
