6. Defeat everyone in the office
Sub-tasks: None
Notable bosses: None
Notes: St. Martial - Carnies on this go-round. Tons of crystals being grown as well.
Notes: Nerva Archipelago - Oranbegan map with a twist. Somewhere in the map is a square shaped pit that drops about 800 yards down to a cavern filled with crystals and massive amounts of CoT. Mage Archus was an AV and was found at the very bottom of the pit/cavern. During the fight he will summon help and many CoT will spawn and move to him.
You receive an SO for defeating Archus and another for completing the mission, as well as the Crystal Keeper Badge.
