How to Start the Duty Standard Quest¶

Go behind this building to find the Info needed for this quest

This quest is a bit of a mystery, as you should be able to do it in Chapter 6, as long as you’ve completed The Lost Off-Seer. It’s unclear if it has any other requirements, though, so if you’re not seeing the Info appear at Colony Lambda, keep playing and doing other sidequests until it finally appears. Note that you don’t need to do Isurd’s Ascension Quest to get it to appear, though, nor does he need to be in your active party. Either way, the Info for this will appear just inside the main part of Colony Lambda, behind the building on the northern side. This will net you the Moraine and Shijima Info, so discuss it to start the quest.

How to Complete the Duty Standard Quest¶

It appears that Shijima has passed away, and the party wants to check in on Moraine, to see how she is doing. While talking with her, you get a report from someone else that Agnus forces seem to be approaching Lambda. The party decides to help, too, so you’ll need to report in with Rosh. Go to the commander’s office for a scene, then it’s off to battle. The first two waves will consist of normal Agnian soldiers, usually a mix of various roles. The final wave will consist of three Levnises, so there isn’t going to be any special enemies in the game, as all of them are normal variants.

(1 of 3) The first two waves will just be soldiers

You shouldn’t really have any trouble with the battles, although they are all in a row. You will have a short break after the first back-to-back battles, so you can take that break at the canteen. Go towards the commander’s tent for another scene, then you will be able to the top of the colony to stop the assault there. Fast travel to the Titan Rock Camp, and you should see a big Levnis nearby. Approach for the battle, which will be two Medics and a Gyrinus. Naturally, take down the Medics first, then you can dismantle the Levnis. Go back to the commander’s tent at Colony Lambda for one final scene.
