Walkthrough:

Head to the House of the Hero in Windurst Walls and hear Carbuncle's cry for help.
(You must have SMN set as your main job to trigger the cutscene with Carbuncle.) (You must zone if you do this straight after your previous AF quest or any quest involving Carbuncle.) Next go and speak to Koru-Moru. Head to Mhaura and speak to Ripapa to get the Lightning Pendulum.
Note that the quest Trial by Lightning can interfere with this portion of the quest. You may be blocked from progress any further until you can defeat Ramuh Prime and clear Trial by Lightning. Go to The Boyahda Tree, walk to the Cloister of Storms, trade the Lightning Pendulum to the Lightning Protocrystal and enter the battlefield. Defeat the two weapons, Lightning Gremlin (WAR) and Thunder Gremlin (RDM).


Mob:

• The Lightning Gremlin's attacks have the additional effect of draining TP.
  
• The Thunder Gremlin's attacks have the additional effect of draining MP.
  
• Both Gremlins will resist Sleep and Repose.
• They can hit very hard, and drain 1~40 MP/TP per hit.
• Stoneskin will absorb the damage but not the drain effect. Blink tank suggested.
• Soloable by 75 BST/WHM
• Soloable by 75 NIN/DNC with eva setup and turban for haste very easy
• Soloable by 75 PUP/NIN with Soulsoother(head)/Stormwaker automaton, by THF/NIN with evasion gears.
• Soloable by 75 SMN/WHM with a mixture of Carby kiting and 70 Blood Pact's. Take the RDM first then the WAR.
• Soloable By 75 SMN/WHM using Ramuh and Thunderspark to gain initial hate from both mobs.
  Then lv 70 bloodpacts to kill. 1 Yagudo Drink and the use of spirit taker provided sufficient MP. 2 Avatars in total were required (Ramuh each time)
• Soloable by 75 RDM/NIN by binding Lightening Gremlin (WAR) and killing Thunder Gremlin (RDM) first. Killed them with 3 SMN/WHM 75, 73, 68 & a 75 WHM/BLM Easy fight, using Ramuh. 68 SMN Tanked Lightning Gremlin until the 2 70+ SMN Finished with the Thunder Gremlin. All done in short order.

Go back and speak to Koru-Moru. He will give you the key item Daze-Breaker Charm. Go to Rabao and talk to Agado-Pugado, who will give you the Wind Pendulum. Go to Cape Teriggan, walk to the Cloister of Gales, trade the Wind Pendulum to the Wind Protocrystal and enter the battlefield. Defeat Ogmios.

Mob:

• Soloable by 75 DNC/NIN Didn't even use Trance or Fan Dance, just be sure to erase all status effects. use Violent Flourish to stun Dispelga and Silencega to avoid losing shadows.
• Soloable by MNK75/NIN37. Used Hundred Fists, also ended up using 4 Echo Drops.
• Soloable by 75 RDM/WHM melee with Echo Drops (Used 3).
• Soloable by 75 PUP/NIN with Soulsoother(head)/Stormwaker automaton and echo drops.
• Soloable by 75 RDM/NIN by DoT kiting and nuking; possible but not very practical as it took 4 tries for me.
• Soloable by 75 THF/NIN with 314 Evasion and Echo Drops. Soloable by 75 SMN/WHM using a mixture of carby kiting and 70 Blood Pacts. Bring Echo's just incase.
• Duoable by 75 DRG/SAM without Evasion gear and 75WHM/SMN without echo drops as long as you stay out of range for the -ga spells.
• Duoable by 75 SMN/WHM and 75MNK/DNC
• Soloable by 75 NIN/DNC, no echo drops.
• Soloable by 75 RDM/NIN straight fight, many Echo drops required.
• Trioable by 3 SMN/WHM (75, 73, & 68) & a 75 WHM/BLM with 2 SMN using Predator Claws. Easy fight.

Return to Windurst Walls, and talk to Koru-Moru for a cutscene and to receive the Evoker's Horn. Lightning Pendulum and Wind Pendulum can be toss after you have completed the fight.
