  2. Head South to Abandoned Lighthouse
  3. Talk to Kyrie Inside the Lighthouse
  4. Defeat Army of Flans
  5. Defeat Two White Mousse Enemies

Follow Toby into Crow's Nest

Toby will be standing at the entrance to Crow's Nest upon reaching it for the first time. Head into the town and follow Toby until he stops walking. This is when the quest will officially begin.

Head South to Abandoned Lighthouse

Accept Toby's quest, then you'll be pointed towards the Abandoned Lighthouse south of Crow's Nest. Head down through the village, go out the south exit, and continue heading along the path southward.

Note that a Phoenix Sanctuary will be closeby immediately after exiting Crow's Nest.

Talk to Kyrie Inside the Lighthouse

Find Kyrie up the stairs of the lighthouse, which looks like an unfinished building. After your conversation, you will need to head back down and prepare for battle.

Defeat Army of Flans

Several waves of Flans will spawn one by one. Defeat all of the Flans with Fire spells, which can take them out instantly.

Defeat Two White Mousse Enemies

After taking care of the Flans, two difficult White Mousse enemies will appear. They don't have any weaknesses but will get Pressured when taking elemental damage.

The trick is to bring several elemental Materia with you and alternate your spells so it won't absorb any of them easily. This makes it easy to Pressure and Stagger them quickly.

Upon defeating the two White Mousse, the quest will end after a short cutscene.
