[Help] Stilshrine of Miriam

August 17, 2007, 2:02 AM

What in the world am I supposed to be doing in the Stilshrine of Miriam other than killing all the Zombies that pop up whenever I touch the Pedestal of Light?

I've already tried everything from equipping the Dawn Shard to killing hundreds of zombies but nothing seems to be working. :\

I need help.

In my game I just equipped the Dawn Shard to Penelo and had Penelo walk up and activate the Pedestal.
Did you try having the person equipped activate it?

Also, I hate those Zombies, they give 1 exp.

Yeah, I did that. I figured I should equip the Dawn Shard on Ashe, and then she goes up and touches it but nothing happens. Maybe that's some kind of glitch, but I'll go try it again.

An interesting find, "The best choice is someone who attack mainly with his weapon and doesn’t use magick, because Dawn Shard drains whole mana from the one who wears it. After you touch the pedestal you’ll be teleported deeper inside the temple."

O.o Does that mean if I unequip the Dawn Shard I'll get teleported back into the main hall?

Anyways, I've done it now, I tried touching the Way Stone and the Pedestal and I got teleported into it. And now there's this guardian thing...

Thanks for the help, I probably would have been stuck there for a couple days and therefore would have laid down the game for a while.

... and if you had difficulty with that part, here's a piece of advice for the future.

When you come across the huge statue, remember its position on the map. You'll stumble across either 3 or 4 smaller statues which you can rotate as you progress through the Stilshrine, and you must move them all to face the main statue. I managed to get it first time without knowing, but it's an easy thing to miss.

And remember two espers can be found in the Stilshrine, but the second one you will have to go back to get.

Okay, instead of making a new thread, where exactly is the second esper located? I'm pretty sure, and in fact I'm certain, that it has something to do with that stone that one of the elder Nu Mou's gives you after you defeat Bergan at Bur-Omisace.

Ok so you got the Stone of the Condemner, right? Well, go check the teleport bulb inside the main hall, then use Stone Of The Condemner on it. You will be warp to a secret room. Exit from the room and you'll find Zeromus.

The Nu Mou gives you a stone after you beat Bergan is the start of the quest.
To get Zeromus you need to go to the Still Shrine and walk to the South end of the Ward of Measure and then Touch the Way Stone, It'll ask if you want to use the Stone and say yes.
It then Teleports you to the Zeromus Boss Battles.
He has an antimagic shield so bring a lot of Phoenix Downs.
But, since most of his spells are gravity based don't bother healing, Gravity can only half, quarter, 3 fouth your HP but if someone dies be sure to bring him back.
Zeromus also has 6 Skeletons so be sure to take them out quick with a Quickning Chain and use Augments to raise the HP you get from Phoenix Downs.
