The 19 quest steps

1. 1Talk to Meriana

   Dialogue[-6,-3] · Meriana

   Meriana tells you that Dark Vlad is on Incarnam. Before facing him, you will have to talk to her again through the Orbalantyr, a stone that lets you communicate from a distance. She gives you Prysmaradoth's Talisman, which will turn you into a dragon for the fight.

2. 2Go to the Incarnam tavern

   Movement

   Go through the Temple of the Twelve in Astrub to go up to Incarnam, then head to the Incarnam tavern.

3. 3Order a lemonade

   [0,-3] · Fattumy

   In the tavern, talk to Fattumy, the Kerub veteran, and order a lemonade from him.

4. 4Listen to the tavern rumors

   Dialogue[0,-3] · Inn Regular

   Still in the tavern, ask a regular about the rumors going around on Incarnam. He agrees to talk in exchange for a lemonade: give him the one you just ordered. Dark Vlad is causing havoc on Incarnam, and the Kerub militiamen are looking for him.

5. 5Question the militia chief

   Dialogue[0,-4] · Kerub Captain

   The Kerub Captain tells you that Dark Vlad's presence has a harmful effect on the cemetery Chafers, making them stronger.

6. 6Pay for Hatten's testimony

   Items[3,0] · Kerub Militiaman Hatten

   At the cemetery, ask Hatten about Dark Vlad. For 1,000 kamas, he says he saw Dark Vlad talking with a Chafer from the Three Skulls gang. To wake them, you would need to stick a bone knife into one of the skulls.

   • 1,000 kamasto pay

7. 7Defeat a Chafer Bandit

   Combat

   Go down one map from the cemetery and fight a Chafer Bandit to get the knife. The fight can be done in a group, and the quest advances for every character in the fight, even those who did not talk to the Chafer Bandit.

   [3,-1]

   Go to the Three Ed Stones and try Hatten's ritual: click the skull on the map. A fight starts against three Chafers, in a group if you like; the quest advances for all characters, even those who did not click. You get a Spectral Bone during this fight.

9. 9Talk to Throbbing Ed

   Dialogue[3,-1] · Throbbing Ed

   Throbbing Ed appears on the map. Wave the Evil Skull obtained from the Cania bandits at him; if you have not fought any, another bone obtained in the cemetery is enough. Give him back his skull in exchange for information: Dark Vlad is at the tip of the Dragon's Tail.

10. 10Get the Orbalantyr key

    Items[0,-4] · Kerub Captain

    Go back to the Incarnam militia and ask the Kerub Captain to use the Orbalantyr to contact Meriana. He entrusts you with the key to the trapdoor that leads to the magic stone: click the rug to go down.

11. 11Activate the Orbalantyr

    [0,-4]

    In the Orbalantyr Room, talk to the magic stone and give it 100 kamas to make it work. You then have to find the right combination to use it.

    A mistake in the combination shows a failure message and may teleport you to another map.

    • 100 kamasto pay

12. 12Talk to Meriana through the Orbalantyr

    Dialogue[0,-4]

    Once you have found the right combination, tell Meriana where Dark Vlad is hiding. She recommends facing him right away.

13. 13Return the key to the Captain

    [0,-4] · Kerub Captain

    Go back up to the ground floor and give the key back to the Kerub Captain. A mysterious stranger left a message for you with him.

14. 14Meet the Mysterious Stranger

    Dialogue[-2,-4] · Mysterious Stranger

    Two possible answers: say that it is your goal, and she wishes you good luck; or keep quiet, which is recommended. After her questions, answer that you want to be more clear-sighted, then that the creator of the Emerald Dofus is Aerafal. She adds the scale of wisdom to your talisman: a sixth spell for the fight against Dark Vlad.

15. 15Follow Wedhig to the Dragon's Tail

    Movement[4,-4] · Wedhig

    Talk to Dark Vlad to start the fight, alone. The talisman turns you into a dragon: 10,000 HP, 4 AP, 4 MP and five spells, six with the scale of wisdom. Each spell costs 3 AP, so only one per turn, and has a cooldown of 5 turns.

    If you lose, you do not lose any energy and you reappear directly on the map: you can try again.
