Promises to Keep Quest Guide

Begin the quest in Chapter 10 in the Cosmo Canyon Region. After completing the 'From Whence Life Flows' quest, return to Cosmo Canyon and speak with a guard by the initial bridge to accept the 'Promises to Keep' quest.

Head north of Cosmo Canyon to find an abandoned truck left by the survey team. If you have Activation Intel 5: Spiritwastes Tower, it's southwest of that location.

Upon approaching the truck, Gi Specters will appear and mistake Red XIII for his father, Seto. They will possess local fauna.

The first set of enemies are Skeeskees. They are slightly stronger but have the same weaknesses and pressure conditions as usual.

After defeating the Skeeskees, follow the Gi Specters to the next encounter.

The second set of enemies are Desert Sahagins. Use Blizzard to pressure them.

The third set consists of four Desert Sahagins. Defeat them.

Heal your party and follow the Gi Specters again.

You will face a new enemy, the Irasceros.

Irasceros Battle: This enemy switches between immunity to physical and magical attacks. Ensure your party has a balanced damage output. Pressure the Irasceros by waiting for it to use its named moves. This pressure window is short.

When the Irasceros's stagger gauge is nearly full, it will use 'Concentrate', draining its stagger gauge and making your normal attacks deal very little damage. It takes three strong attacks to break this move. Aerith's Arcane Ward can be useful here.

The Irasceros is weak to lightning. Use Aerith's Arcane Ward and cast Thunder when it's in Concentrate to hit it twice, requiring only one more attack to break the move.

If you stagger the Irasceros, unleash your most powerful abilities and Limit Breaks to defeat it.

After winning the battle, a scene will play, and the quest will conclude.
