When you reach the bridge just south of Martha’s Rest, remember that you can use the button to ride your Chocobo now to get to the quest area much more quickly.

The group of “Lowland Scorpions” is easy to defeat, and Clive will receive the Unwonted at the end of the battle. Return to Yvan to complete the quest.

The ship Clive secured from his Uncle Byron is moored safely in the harbor of Port Isolde, waiting to ferry him and Jill to the isle of Drustanus, where Drake’s Breath rises from the Boiling Sea. The two return to the hideaway to complete their final preparations to bring down not only the Mothercrystal, but the Patriarch who saw Jill enslaved and forced to kill for his kingdom.
