The best advice I can give you is do the Optistry quests in Windurst for the Northlands map. (I think that's where you get it from)
Map of the Northlands is from a quest in San d'Oria,
Her Majesty's Garden.
Map of Fei'Yin is from
A Smudge on One's Record, in Windurst.
Map of Ranguemont Pass, which you may need if you don't yet have the Vahzl Gate Crystal, is obtained from
The Rescue in Selbina.
All three of those maps can also be found
here.

just a note, Cyclone.. from a thf.. with daggers.. yes daggers.. one at just 100 tp will usually whipe out more then half the minor enemy skeles there.
The skeleton underlings that come to aid the Archlich are ridiculously weak. There are many, many ways to take care of them. The most important thing is to have one person assigned to this task, so that the rest of the party can concentrate on the Archlich without getting killed by mobs of weak enemies.
When I did this mission, I took care of the underlings as a RDM. Aquaveil, Stoneskin, Phalanx, Blaze Spikes. Spam Diaga to get their attention (you'll easily hold hate, since nobody else will be attacking them). Blaze Spikes alone is enough to kill them. Add on a sword, dagger, or club with a suitable Enspell and the occasional AOE spell (if you have the MP to spare), and you can take them all down very, very easily. Just reapply Stoneskin whenever it wears off, and keep yourself cured, and you'll be fine.
Of course, if you are going to have your RDM take care of them (which is
very fun for the RDM, I might add), your party will need another healer, as the RDM will not be able to keep the tanks alive and deal with all the links at the same time.
