ASNM unlock ASHM

There are a number of quests that you have to complete in order to unlock ASHM. Luckily now as long as you have one party member that has completed this, you can get into hard mode; but it's still a good idea to finish these quests.


Image of Fighting:
Get this quest from Nikas Lohgad next to Whitney.
He will give you a crystal that you will use to capture an image of one of the media in AS.
Note: this crystal will time out, be sure to check the time left on your crystal before going into AS.
This quest can be completed in normal mode or hard mode.

Algazon's Records:
Get the quest from Hugh Sutherland.
Defeat Algazon in the second room to obtain the records.
Tip: Some say that you can not die during this fight or you do not find the records.
This quest can only be completed in normal mode.

Sources of the Plague:
Get this quest from Ammy.
She will give you a bottle that you will collect a sample of the plague left over from the dead spider (3rd boss).
Note: this bottle will time out, be sure to check the time left on your bottle before going into AS.
Tip: this quest can be completed before the boss is dead. The plague shows up directly behind her as she leaves her eggsac (or so people I have been with have told me - I have long ago completed this quest and have not tried this myself).
This quest can only be completed in normal mode.


Woman Troubles:
Get this quest from ? (Used to be Morin in Sleeping Jungle that gave this [Special] quest that took you to AC to see how Charlotte changes from her human form to the form that you will meet in AS, but he doesn't seem to be giving the quest anymore. Perhaps more of the main quest needs to be opened first to get this quest. This quest did bring you to Nien to get a potion, so perhaps he has the starting quest now - nope, Nien does not have any quest either. Someone told me that they thought that the name of this quest had changed and is now introduced during the main quest line).
Tips: Morin does not always appear after defeating Larex in AC and you need to talk to him to finish the first part of this quest. It is suggested that you must allow Goutah to assist you in your fight in order to trigger Morin, so make the fight last long enough to give him time to climb up the ramp to come help you.
Defeat Charlotte and talk to the mouse.
This quest can be completed in normal or hard mode.


{Pacala Blood Sample}
Get this quest from ?
This completes automatically if you are alive when Pacala dies.
This quest can only be completed in normal mode.
