Walkthrough
The job gear rewarded by this quest provides bonuses within the Crucible of the Unbroken. Players should use it within, even if they have IL 130 gear from Poetics or the Final Coil of Bahamut.
The Third Board of the Unbroken is noticeably more challenging than the previous two boards. Players who are struggling should ensure their familiars are sufficiently leveled. They can also exchange Faded Remnants of Resilience (from previous boards) with the Kornago Merchant for Bright Remnants of Resilience to further upgrade their gear.
Steps
- Complete an infinitive combo on the dummy.
- Speak with J'yhuh Tia.
- Speak with J'yhuh Tia again.
- Speak with Lauda.
Journal
- J'yhuh Tia smiles fondly.
- J'yhuh Tia's final lesson for you is the strongest technique of Kornago beastmasters. It demands an understanding of the universality of life, and the ability to harness the shift of all that is inevitable. With no little pressure upon your shoulders, you approach the striking dummy.
- It takes time and no little hard work, but finally you bring to bear the wisdom of the Kornago. Looking round to J'yhuh Tia, you have never seen a teacher quite so proud.
- Despite your significant strength, your Cu Sith whines its unease. Hardly surprising, Lauda supplies, given the fate of its previous master. Again, she has arrived, this time her hair dark and gaze steady. She shares the story of her encounter with the Cu Sith's former guardian, Philkin. Upon learning of her plight, Philkin offered to transfer Guttler's soul into the depths of the Crucible, removing most of his control over Lauda's physical body. His generosity proved his undoing, however, for Guttler awoke as he worked. In a race against time, Philkin finished the transfer just before Lauda struck him down with Guttler's axe. The dying beastmaster spent his final breath urging his Cu Sith to flee.
- With Philkin's fate heavy in your heart, you set off for Bentbranch Meadows. It is time to put an end to the misery that vengeance has wrought.
- Lauda warns you that Guttler may assume her form upon the third board, but says to spare him no mercy as he will offer none in return. While she will be helpless to assist you in battle, she is prepared to face Guttler upon his defeat and prays you emerge triumphant for the sake of all trapped in this endless curse of bloodshed.
※The next beastmaster quest will be available from Lauda upon clearing the Third Board of the Unbroken.

Dialogue
Accepting the quest
Start of cutscene....Heh. Look how far you've come. You do me proud, Forename.
The final lesson I can offer is the deepest wisdom of our ancestors.
When we stride beneath the sun, we carry the moon in our hearts. When we stalk the moon, the sun within burns ever bright. By marrying our opposites, man and beast may come to understand the totality of nature. A universality, if you will.
Does that make sense?
What will you say?
Completely.
That's my star pupil. Now all that's left is to put those teachings into practice.
...Give me a moment.
Haha, take as much time as you need. While an abstract concept, it may be better understood through practice.
Not at all.
...Then we're two of a kind, because I felt just as clueless once. Meditate upon what you've learned thus far, and you'll discover the answer soon enough.
Hold universality in your heart and focus it upon a striking dummy. Lead the sun to the moon, and the moon to the sun. Bring to bear the fundamental truth of existence.
By chaining the opposing instinctual affinities Sunstrider and Moonstalker, you will complete the infinitive combo Universality.

Complete an infinitive combo on the dummy.
Optional dialogue
Combining opposites creates a strength without equal. Like the turning of day to night, and night to day—harnessing inevitability is the key.

Speak with J'yhuh Tia.
Phenomenal. You're a true Kornago beastmaster, Forename. Let us take a moment to reflect.
Start of cutscene.Your partner has grown strong, little one.
Ghhhrrrlll...
...But it has known a strong guardian before. It worries for your safety.
Ghhhnnn...
'Tis little wonder. It watched its former master die.
...I debated when to reveal this, but you deserve to know.
Start of flashback.
Our client should be nearby. Won't it be nice to meet a kindred soul?
Ghrul!♪
Perhaps...?
Pardon me! Are you the one in search of beastmasters?
Stay back!
Come any closer, and I might... I may kill you.
Then let us speak at this distance. My name is Philkin. Who are you?
A beastmaster. Of the Lhu. The axe before me has sealed within it the soul of a forest guardian. He possesses my body, and I...I cannot escape him...
...By the sound of it, I believe transferring Guttler's soul from the axe to those training grounds you described may offer recourse.
That way, his presence will be confined within the Crucible. At the very least, his hold upon your physical body will become extremely difficult to maintain.
Such a mighty soul would be difficult to disperse, but I should be capable of sealing it.
'Twould be generosity I could not begin to repay...
Helping a fellow beastmaster hardly warrants payment. Though, I'll not refuse a pint if offered.
Gauh!
Lauda is possessed by Guttler.
Come out to play, has he? I knew he would be strong, but this...
Take cover, little one!
Either I fetter you, or you slay me. Let's make this quick.
Philkin begins transferring Guttler's soul into the Crucible, turning Lauda into a monster form.
Beastmaster... Plague upon the wilds... Thy soul is forfeit!
Guttler strikes down Philkin.
Grah!?
It is...finished... Run, little one...
Guttler absorbs Philkin's soul. Guttler is absorbed into the Crucible.
Ghaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhh!
End of flashback.
So Philkin sealed Guttler as deep within the Crucible as he could. To ease his hold upon you.
What will you say?
Let's finish this. For Philkin.
You are not alone. You never will be.
Ghhhrrrlll!
Your bond is true.
...As is mine. I will not shy from what awaits.
End of cutscene.
Speak with J'yhuh Tia again.
...You're ready, Forename. None can deny that.
But I won't hasten you. We await your arrival at Bentbranch Meadows.
Speak with Lauda.
Optional dialogue
I believe in you, Forename. And so do your familiars.
Start of cutscene.Forename. Welcome.
He/She has come to challenge the third board, and to defeat Guttler.
And so he/she shall. However, be advised that Guttler may assume my likeness during battle.
Control over me yields him great satisfaction. Making clear who the master is between us.
He means to compound our suffering with illusions, but you must not grant any quarter to the shade he fashions. Guttler is within, and he will offer no mercy.
I can offer little myself...
...but I will pray for your victory. And I will face him.
As a member of the Lhu, I will accept Guttler's anger and grief. I will flee from the truth no longer.
...That is my path as a beastmaster.
What will you say?
I stand with you.
We won't lose.
...Let us both do our utmost.
Knock some sense into him, Forename. Off you go.
Then allow me to open the third board.
The Third Board of the Unbroken has been unlocked. To challenge it, speak with Lauda in Bentbranch Meadows.
Furthermore, new wares are now available from the Kornago merchant.
End of cutscene.
Optional dialogue
Before clearing the board
Go and have Guttler take a short nap, eh? We await your safe return.
Guttler will assume my form when he fights you on the third board. Though I cannot assist in battle, I know you are capable of victory.
After clearing the board
The champion of the Crucible! Well done, Forename.
You did it, Forename... Thank you...Well done.
