“Help Me, Lord of the Dance” Walkthrough
After you accept the job from P’molminn, you’ll be asked to ask some NPCs about a person named Guillaunaux.
These NPCs can be found in the following places:
| NPC | Location |
|---|---|
| Willowy Woman | Ul’dah – Steps of Thal (X:11.3, Y:11.1) |
| Sosotta | Ul’dah – Steps of Thal (X:13.2, Y:12.3) |
| Luscious Lady | Hustings Strip (X:12.2, Y:10.5) |
The Hustings Strip, where the Luscious Lady lives, may make it hard to find her. Even though it’s still in the Steps of Thal, it’s a different part of the game.
You can get to Hustings Strip by taking the stairs at (X:9.8, Y:11.8), the stairs at (X:12.8, Y:11.1), or the Wellhead Lift at (X:10.8, Y:10.2) in the Steps of Thal.
If you’ve already tuned into the Chamber of Rule aethernet shard, you can also use teleportation to get there.
After you’ve talked to all three NPCs, you can find Guillaunaux at (X:10.9, Y:10.2) in the Hustings Strip.
Talk to Guillaunaux, and he’ll ask you to dance for him so that the quest can be finished.
To do this, aim at Guillaunaux and type /dance into your chat bar.
After the story is over, you’ll learn the Ball Dance.

Ball Dance doesn’t need a “Ballroom Etiquette” item like some other unlocked emotes in the game. It can be used as soon as you finish “Help Me, Lord of the Dance.”
Type /balldance into your chat bar to do the Ball Dance move.
After you type this order, the words “You perform a stately ball dance” will show up in chat.
