Walkthrough
- In the last mission you had been asked to go to a nearby Allied fortress, one of the three dungeons near Jeuno: Garlaige Citadel (S), Crawlers' Nest (S), or The Eldieme Necropolis (S). It is there you can pick up a recommendation letter that is required to join the Allied Campaign. There are three potential recommendation letters that can all be obtained. San d'Orian forces are based in Garlaige Citadel (S), Windurstian forces are based in Crawlers' Nest (S), and Bastokan forces are based in The Eldieme Necropolis (S).
- Randecque in Garlaige Citadel (S) at I-6(second map, accessible by following left wall until going right at the T-split at H-7 and continue going straight) will give you the Red Recommendation Letter key item and tell you to go to San d'Oria.
- Kalsu-Kalasu in Crawlers' Nest (S) at L-8(near the entrance) will give you the Green Recommendation Letter key item and tell you to go to Windurst.
- Turbulent Storm in The Eldieme Necropolis (S) at J-9(near the entrance) will give you the Blue Recommendation Letter key item and tell you to go to Bastok.
- You will have to take at least one these recommendation letters to a town by crossing through several Shadowreign areas. Most of the maps in-game will appear the same as they do in the present and will not display any differences, such as new zone lines. The paths are as follows:
- San d'Oria: Batallia Downs (S) -> northern Jugner Forest (S) -> Vunkerl Inlet (S) -> southern Jugner Forest (S) -> East Ronfaure (S).
- Windurst: Sauromugue Champaign (S) -> Meriphataud Mountains (S) -> Fort Karugo-Narugo (S) -> West Sarutabaruta (S).
- Bastok: Rolanberry Fields (S) -> Pashhow Marshlands (S) -> Grauberg (S) -> North Gustaberg (S).
- At this point, the maps of Vunkerl Inlet (S), Fort Karugo-Narugo (S), and Grauberg (S) will be absent. They can be obtained from quests within the area of the three Allied fortresses and do not require any sort of fighting. These quests are, respectively: The Flipside of Things, The Weekly Adventurer, and Lost in Translocation.
- Once you reach one of the capitals, you will have to prove your worth to whatever faction you intend on joining. Allegiance is not dependent on the present. The recommendation letter will be taken and an initial quest will have to be completed. Once this is done, you will need to complete two more quests. The initial quest can be canceled and the recommendation letter returned.
- Doing the initial quest will switch your allegiance. Unlike manually switching your allegiance, there is no penalty or cost and no restriction. If you wanted to complete all three quest, simply do them in a fashion that places your permanent nation last.
- The two follow-up quests from any nation can be done once any single initial quest has been completed. They are optional, at least as of now.
Knights of The Iron Ram (San d'Oria)
- Speak with Mainchelite(southern I-9
of Southern San d'Oria (S)) to begin the quest Steamed Rams.
- Follow-up quests: Gifts of the Griffon and Claws of the Griffon.
The Cobras (Windurst)
- Speak with Miah Riyuh(western H-9 of Windurst Waters (S)) to begin the quest Snake on the Plains.
- Follow-up quests: The Tigress Stirs and The Tigress Strikes.
Republican Legion's Fourth Divison (Bastok)
- Speak with Adelbrecht(E-8 of Bastok Markets (S)) to begin the quest The Fighting Fourth.
- Follow-up quests: Better Part of Valor and Fires of Discontent.
- Once a single questline has been completed, touch any of the three Cavernous Maws outside Jeuno to get a cutscene. You will receive the title "Cait Sith's Assistant" when it finishes.
