== Overview ==

== Walkthrough & Notes ==
# Enter the [[Platinum Legion Keep]] (100+) at 16.5N, 0.6E
# Move through the dungeon until you reach a locked door. Use the lever on the platform above (North Wall) to open the door and then continue down the hall. 
# Again, move until you reach a room with another locked door. Use the lever on the pillar before the door to open it and move up the ramp.
# At the top of the ramp, use the Torch (lever) to open the 2nd locked door and enter the hallway.
# {{Optional}} As you enter a room at the end of the hallway, there will be a cutback hallway to your right.  Head down this hallway, kill the [[Platinum Legion Quartermaster]], and loot the {{Itemlink|Platinum Legion Quartermaster's Key}}.  At the end of this hall use the key on the [[Platinum Legion Quartermaster's Chest]] to get some decent treasure-generated loot.  Backtrack to the the cutback entrance to continue the quest.
# Continue down the North West hallway until you reach the [[Platinum Legion Doorkeeper]], kill him loot the {{Itemlink|Platinum Legion Door Key}} and enter the nearby door.
# At the end of the hall, kill [[Captain Balanchi]] and his [[Platinum Legion Bodyguard]]s, then loot a {{Itemlink|Platinum Invader Lord Helm}}, {{Itemlink|Corcima Castle Platinum Ward Portal Gem}} and {{Itemlink|Dispatch to Captain Balanchi}} from [[Captain Balanchi]]'s corpse.
# When everyone is ready, Use the [[Corcima Castle Platinum Ward Portal Gem]] to summon a portal to [[Corcima Castle]]. Enter the portal.
#* Note: The portal is a hot drop.
# Once everyone is inside the [[Corcima Castle]], kill the [[Platinum Legion Castellan]] nearby and loot {{Itemlink|Platinum Knight Medallion}} and {{Itemlink|Royal Blood}} from his corpse. Everyone in the fellow needs a medallion and the blood, so you may need to kill him several times, the respawn is pretty fast.
# Next, find [[General Corcima]] deeper in the courtyard and loot a {{Itemlink|Shard of Corcima's Armor}} from his corpse. He also drops 1 vial of {{Itemlink|Royal Blood}} and a {{Itemlink|Dispatch to General Corcima}}.
# Return to [[Jun Sawashima]] at 44.1N, 43.4W in [[Plateau Village]] and hand him your [[Shard of Corcima's Armor]] to receive the {{Itemlink|Coat of the Zaikhal Defender}}.
# Also hand the medallion to Jun Sawashima for experience reward.
# Apply the Royal Blood to your Platinum Invader Lord Helm to create a {{Itemlink|Blooded Platinum Invader Lord Helm}}.
