— In-game description
Walkthrough
During this quest, you and your allies will need to defeat a shade of Gulool Ja Ja in his prime self to obtain the last keystone. In the solo instance, you will be accompanied by Alphinaud, Alisaie, Thancred, Urianger, Krile, Wuk Lamat, and Koana. Gulool has similar attacks to his real self in 
A Father First but several of them will be enhanced.
- Roaring Star: Roomwide magical damage and spawns four spinning fireballs, each of which will use a late telegraphed line AoE through the room, leaving approximately one quarter safe.
- Coiled Strike: Gulool summons two blade symbols on the arena that will each have a shadow rotating towards one direction. This indicates two wide late telegraphed conal AoEs, leaving narrow safe regions directly behind the blade symbols outside of the shadow.
- Celestial Flame: Three sets of three fire blades will drop, each dealing magical damage. They will telegraph circle AoEs in the order they spawned.
- Dual Pyres: One of Gulool's swords will begin glowing and have a one pip over it, followed by his other swords, which will have a two pip. These indicate late telegraphed half-room cleaves in the order they glow. Afterwards, two sets of crisscross line AoE telegraphs will spawn, covering the entire room.
- Steelfold Strike: Spawns multiple circle AoEs and a glowing X (indicating line AoEs), followed by the same telegraphs in different locations. The boss will jump to each X.
- Outer Wake: Telegraphed donut AoE, immediately followed by a spread AoE marker (Fallen Star) on the player and each ally.
- Lay of the Sun: Multi-hit stack AoE dealing physical damage.
- Oathbind: The boss will enchain Urianger, Alphinaud, Thancred, and Wuk Lamat, immobilizing them while telegraphing a line AoE (Noble Trail) that will hit them. Destroy the Oath of Fire chains to free them. The party will appear to initially struggle with the DPS check, but Koana will use a limit-break like action that will deal massive damage to all of the chains.
- Roaring Star is used again but now combined with Inner Wake, a telegraphed point-blank AoE and spread markers on the player and each ally.
- Battle Breaker: Gulool knocks back everyone, stunning them, and a cutscene plays where he summons an enormous flaming sword. Wuk Lamat will summon a blue AoE that the player should stand in, which will mitigate damage from Gulool's ultimate attack (Saga of Dawn and Duty). This attack hits multiple times (Shockwave), so the player should assist with healing if possible.
Mechanics will then repeat until the boss is defeated.

Dialogue
Optional dialogue
I don't think I trust the Third Promise yet. But if she can offer us some tangible hope, then maybe...
Many are reluctant to trust the Third Promise, but all agreed to wait for her return. That alone gives me cause to hope.
Honestly, I don't know what I hope to hear...
If you can truly help us, I'll wait here for as long as you need.
I remain here out of deference to Miilal Ja. As the mother of our chosen one, her wishes deserve to be honored.
I'm sure Zereel Ja would have choice words for us if he knew what we were up to.
But his people are my people, and I can't ignore their plight.
If I'm to call myself Dawnservant one day, I have to bring an end to the tragedy here. Many are depending on me, Bakool Ja Ja not least of all.
Anyway, I'm sure Koana and the others will be back with their report soon.
Cutscene 1
Good, everyone is assembled. In light of our news, I thought it only right to call the others.
Thanks to the efforts of all, I'm pleased to say our analysis has yielded many valuable insights.
And I daresay the prognosis is hopeful.
Earlier, we asked about the hopes you place in blessed siblings. Why they are important to you.
Your overwhelming response was a frustration towards this forest.
From a lack of natural resources to the inability to cultivate crops, in all respects have you ever struggled to build a prosperous home. Thus your understandable desire for new land.
However, this would be an unfortunate dismissal of what makes your forest uniquely valuable.
That is, the soil. Our tests have proven, without a doubt, that the Ja Tiika Heartland is abundantly fertile.
This may be surprising to hear, as you have seen crops fail time and time again. But we have discovered the root of this problem as well.
The meteorites scattered throughout your forest emit an unusual energy that greatly influences the development of surrounding plant life.
Some plants thrive on this energy─like the najool and the giant trees that create the canopy. But others, as you well know, are sickened by it.
Fortunately, the solution is simple.
Across the salt in a place called Sharlayan, there is a peerless collection of flora sampled from every corner of the world.
Now that we know what energies are most prevalent in your forest, we can offer you seeds and starters guaranteed to thrive here.
I took the liberty of contacting a few colleagues via linkpearl. Should you desire them, a sample of our best candidates can be shipped here in short order.
Just as Eorzea acquired the popoto and tomato from Tural, so too might Mamook benefit from foreign crops.
You mean...we'd be able to grow more than najool here?
Precisely. While care must be taken to choose those species that will not have an adverse effect on the ecosystem, your agricultural options should increase markedly.
With the right crops, Mamook will have all it needs to prosper, both at home and in trade. Blessed siblings don't have to be the answer anymore!
Then...there was never any need to fight? Never any need to sacrifice...
We can't change the past. But we can try to make the future better.
Let the old teachings end with us.
I know blessed siblings represent absolute strength to you. Letting go of that idea can't be easy.
But I'll prove that when we work together, our combined strength can achieve anything!
...Show us, Promise.
If there's another way... For our children and our home... We'll no longer suffer in silence!
Sometimes, we have to fight alone─but not this time.
Would you say a few words, Forename?
What will you say?
Anything is possible when you work together. Our victory of Valigarmanda is proof of that.
The Skyruin!? The great Gulool Ja Ja himself struggled to even seal it!
With faithful allies at your side, you can save even the entire star.
Saving the star is far beyond the scope of our needs...but I acknowledge the value of allies.
In friends both old and new, you can find the light to banish the darkness!
Friends? A perplexing notion from an outsider... but not unwelcome.
We've said what we wanted to say!
Now all that's left is to defeat my father's shade in the Feat of the Brotherhood and clear the way for Mamook's bright new future!
Do not give us cause to question our faith in you, please. Live up to your words.
I will!
After we complete his feat, let's be sure to tell Zereel Ja the good news about his forest. I'm sure he's as eager as anyone to eat what tasty foods they'll grow here!
Compassion even for the likes of him. You continue to eclipse me in every way...
...Then it is a simple choice.
We're counting on you, Wuk Lamat...
