The 13 quest steps

1. 1Talk to Elviana Tirips

   Dialogue[-34,-58] · Elviana Tirips

   The quest starts on the second floor of the Tower of Orders, with Elviana Tirips: from the main entrance, go up to the first floor, enter the left room, go up the stairs again and go straight ahead. Your order wishes to make certain arrangements after your victory over Archbishop Erazal.

   Dialogue

   1. “Become a Guardian of Knowledge”

   

2. 2Join Jiva

   Movement[-34,-58] · Jiva

   Jiva is in the Protectors' Hall: from the main entrance of the tower, go straight to the right, where the concierge is. Your role: destroy three wells of power to prevent the Bontarians from getting their hands on them. The order of the wells doesn't matter. Two locations are known; the third, that of the sunken well, will be given to you by Merkator.

3. 3Defeat Merkator

   Combat[22,30]

   Do the Merkator's Aquadome dungeon, whose entrance is at [22,30], and defeat Merkator in a single fight. At the end, question the boss: he tells you where the sunken well of power is.

   Dialogue

   1. “Ask for his help to locate the sunken well of power”

   • Merkatorfight · level 220 · 13,000 to 19,000 HP · 20 AP · 6 MP

4. 4Open the sunken well of power

   [20,29]

   The well is in the Abysses of Sufokia, at [20,29] : enter the room, then go down the stairs. To open the gate of the main room, you need one person from each order, so three, at this step of the quest or having completed it, Bontarians or Brakmarians. There, start the fight, which is done alone. Each order does its fight once, then all activate the lever at the same time.

   Even if the gate is already open, you must have done your fight beforehand.

5. 5Drain the sunken well

   [20,29] · Droon

   Once the gate is open, take the passage and talk to Droon to drain the well.

6. 6Open the well of the Heroes' Cemetery

   [-21,-60]

   Enter the crypt. Once again you need one character from each order, on this quest or having completed it. Each order gets access to one of the three graves: go down into yours and do the fight, alone. Then the three orders activate the lever in their room almost simultaneously to open the gate.

   

7. 7Defeat Captain Chafer

   Combat[-21,-60] · Captain Chafer

   Go back up and take the now-open passage. Talk to Captain Chafer to start the fight, to be done alone.

   Dialogue

   1. “Defend yourself to try to break the enchantment”

   When hit at range, it becomes invulnerable to ranged attacks, and vice versa in melee: alternate melee and range within a single turn. The effect resets every turn; favor range.

8. 8Talk again to Captain Chafer

   Dialogue[-21,-60] · Captain Chafer

   After the victory, talk to him again to drain the well.

9. 9Open the well of the Cemetery of the Tortured

   [-14,35]

   Enter through the crypt door. Same principle: one character from each order, one solo fight in each one's grave, then the three levers activated almost simultaneously to open the gate.

   

10. 10Defeat the heroes of old

    Combat[-14,35] · Lord de Seashore

    Go back up and take the passage. Plan for a big team, around 8 characters, and talk to Lord de Seashore. So that the quest progresses for everyone, those who don't start the fight answer him “Go look for reinforcements”. The fight pits you against 7 monsters and can be done with 8.

    Dialogue

    1. “Attack”

    Healing your allies also heals the monsters for a few HP.

12. 12Go back to see Jiva

    Once the three wells are drained, go back to the Protectors' Hall to announce your success.

13. 13Go back to Elviana Tirips

    Go back up to see your order master, on the second floor. The quest ends.
