Action Checklist
1. Find the Lhusu Mines.
Get to the Lhusu Mines
When you exit the Bhujerba aerodrome, you see a quick event during which a young lad named Lamont asks if he may accompany the party to the Lhusu Mines. Balthier agrees and Lamont joins your party as a guest.
Proceed due east and climb the staircase. At the top, locate the Cartographers’ Guild moogle and buy his maps of Bhujerba and the Lhusu Mines. (If you’re a bit short of the steep asking price for the maps, sell a few items at any nearby shop.)
If you have any spare gil, or even if you don’t, you can browse a bit in the Bhujerba shops to see what novel items or equipment is available. Next, head for the entrance to the Lhusu Mines from Lhusu Square, in the northeast district of the city. If you talk to people along the way, you learn that the magicite mines are shut down today because of an Imperial inspection party from Archadia.
When you approach the mines, a quick event occurs. Balthier points out that these mines contain one of the richest magicite veins in all of Ivalice. Basch suggests that the mines are probably under Imperial guard, but young Lamont precociously explains that, with but few exceptions, the Imperial army is not permitted in Bhujerba.
