Mammok Mahogany door?

[kaikyaku]

There’s a Mahogany door at G-6 I’ve wondered about since I saw it a few days after the expansion came out.

I was just wondering if anyone knows if this opens or where it goes to.

I read the one on the second map is said to take you to the BC type battle when the Astral candy is stolen. The one on the first map is kinda boggling my mind.

Possibly another, unused BC. Theres two doors like that in Arrapago Reef as well.

 

[mdkuser]

this door at G6 leads to the special zone where you recover the astral candescence. ( 3rd map of mamook)

The second door on second map in true sight zone leads to the special room where you can fight Gulool Ja Ja , the HNM that can appear in besieged as well. If your a BST go there and use widescan, you will see him

there are similar doors in arrapago reefs and Halvung ( undocumented on ffxi atlas map) where you go free the AC or fight Medusa and the troll HNM.

To open the doors you need the 3 different keys that drop in each beastmen zone. I recently dicovered the 3rd arrapago reef key and went poke Medusa.

Thank you mdkuser

Are the mobs true sight past here as well? Main reason why I ask I because there is a one way drop off at the tip of D-4. When you actually look at it you can see a tunnel of what looks like, some other area. I’m just kinda guessing that area is a drop off from the area past that door… and I’m dyin to check it out.

Basically all VT-IT beastmen in mamook are true sight, this means all beastmen in 2nd and 3rd map, and the ones around J12 first map.


woot, finally someone interested in the unexplored zones of the game ^^. I guess you have to be a BST for that, perfect job for explorations.

Ok so actually the second Mahogany door is in F8 3rd map at

http://www.ffxi-atlas.com/maps/mamook/general/

thats where Gulool Ja Ja is. You can access this zone np at anytime, but need to sneak through true sight mobs. The costume works only on non mages, cause the blue mamooljas see through the costume... so its suxs to get there. either use sleepga logout trick or kite with your pet then logout or w/e, or suicide pull with death reraise in a safe spot. If your more than 2 memeber you can get there using 2 transcale keys, avoiding a lot of true sight mobs.


The G6 door on 1st map is the astral candescence zone entrance, it leads to 2nd map. Ive explored it during a recovery expedition and its doesnt have a drop exit to D4. All there is is many doors that finally lead to the BC at G10, starting from I5.


Now for D-4. as far as i know, no one can go there yet. But i have a theory for that.

Look at the second map here

http://www.ffxi-atlas.com/maps/bhaflau-thickets/general/

and look at the F6 island. You can reach it through the island of Mount Zhalyom. This island is divided in 2 and you cannot access the eastern part because of a one way drop. Go there and use widescan and you will see a *secret*. You will see a taru-taru NPC at the upper right corner in F6!!!! this means that this is one of the two not accessible zones of Alzadaal Undersea ruins. whats more the tunnel you see at G6 is certainly a zone, otherwiese why put an unaccessable zone to the undersee ruins? So my theory is that this tunnel leads to your drop at D4 in mamook, or to a zone ( remanants?) that exists there. Whats more this is logical if you compare the positions of this tunnel and the I9 zone, with the pos of D4 and F10 in mamook first map!!!

There are still mysterious places in the new areas that
no one know how to get to.

for example:

D11 halvung 1st map, there is a door there that you cannot open, even with 6 member in pt ( i dint try since last update though). It zones to mount Z, so certainly to the 2 island at F9 or I12.

http://www.ffxi-atlas.com/maps/mount-zhayolm/general/

In arrapago reef, 11th map is not accessible as far as i know. But I know "where it is". I discovered another secret lol. If you go on 5th map through dvucca island, thats where you have cor af quests and the BC for ahturghan missions on the ghost ship. AT H8 is a non clickable door. go at this door, turn your back to the door and... miracle, you see a new map, which is the 11th! so this door might be openable someday. I didnt use widescan there! The same trick works at I11 2nd map and you can see the astral candescence special zone.

I5 first map and J5 second map, are one-way drops, idk where they come from. Certainly not from the AC recovery zone (4th map). Its probably an exit to the Medusa fighting zone, or related to the two unclickable tidal gates on maps 1 and 2. Medusa room is behind the clickable tidal gate at I5 3rd map, btw.

You cannot get on Sharug isle and Heldiva isle yet, on caedarva mire maps, but you guess there is a staging point on sharug isle, and a Undersee ruin zone on Heldiva.

Wow I really didn’t think anyone knew about that npc. I was keeping that a secret until I could find out more but you spilled the beans on me

The island you are talking about had nothing up until recently. When I went there I found it odd there were absolutely no mobs. After the update that added the undersea ruins I went back here and also saw the npc on widescan. Only people I saw that passed by were curious blm’s that were taking a break from cockroach killing… so I really didn’t think anyone with widescan ever went there.

My first hypothesis was that the entrance at K-10 on the second map of Halvung was were the entrance could be. It just made sense at first when comparing the locations. I had a chance to drag 7 people to see how far we could get but a Moblin nm with 2 troll bodyguards caught our attention and killed us.

My second thought was either Mamook or the Reef. My best guess is that the area I saw at C-4 in Mamool made more sense location wise… it’s just a matter of finding the way up there.

When I asked about the mahogany door it was to get more information about how to get to that tip at C-4. Ultimately I just want to find a way to get to that NPC.

It’s nice to know someone else has that exploration bug. Thank you.

Wait for the next version update. They will probably unlock the two non working warp devices of Al Zadal, and thats certainly using them that you go on the island.

Oh yea K10. I went there before they introduce the NMs, it leads to a decorative bronze gate, which is where you have a room with Gurlfur The Menacing, the troll HNM. I didnt go there myself after NM update, cause it requires 6 to open the door, but you can use another widescan trick. You can go solo in the "c" spot at I10 avoiding all the NMs and true sights. Sleepgaing everything or suicide pulling, with reraise. ( I use sleepga logout). Use widescan there and you will see 6 mobs at K11, and the HNM at K12.

the 3rd map of halvung is the astral candescance zone, that you enter at L5 first map, BC is at G12.


If you want we can build a Pt someday to go to K10, since i have the 3 keys that opens the Decorative Bronze gate. The fact there are mobs at K11 is strange, cause there is no mob except the HNM in the rooms of arrapago and mamook. I wanna check if there is a zone unlabelled on the map, that possibly exits to an halvung or bhaflau island.
