The 13 quest steps

1. 1Talk to Esra'Ruoy'Dnim

   Dialogue[-16,17] · Esra'Ruoy'Dnim

   Talk to Esra'Ruoy'Dnim about the next steps. He wants to recover the pact, whether Qu'Tan has it or not. Nova might be able to tell you where the cursed temple is.

   

2. 2Question Nova

   Dialogue[-25,-36] · Nova

   Go to the Treasure Trunk and talk to Nova about the cursed temple. Show her the 5 stones: she agrees to have a copy of the stones' user guide made for you.

   

3. 3Ask Biffya for the copy

   Dialogue[-25,-36] · Biffya

   Ask Biffya for the copy of the user guide. The user guide is the loot of a treasure hunt: Biffya gives you an Araknas Map to start it.

   • Araknas Mapreceived

4. 4Do the treasure hunt

   Use the planning table to start the hunt with the Araknas Map, then follow it to its destination. A fight starts on arrival: come with company, because you have to hit a lot.

5. 5Defeat the Giant Arachnee Egg

   Combat

   The Giant Arachnee Egg is invulnerable. It summons one of four types of arachnee, without you knowing which: Saltikbusk, Trentaneye, Nephispina or Sirdarachnee. The Saltikbusk has 19,000 HP; each arachnee killed splits in two with half its HP: 2 to 9,500 HP, then 4 to 4,750 HP, then 8 to 2,375 HP. The latter no longer split, and the egg dies in turn.

   Everything must be eliminated before the start of turn 9: otherwise the egg summons the starting Saltikbusk again and everything must be redone.

6. 6Use the user's manual

   The fight yields an Araknas Chest: it contains the user guide and the Cursed Temple Key recipe. Double-click the user guide to use it. The key is optional for you: you can enter without it, but your companions who aren't at the same point in the quest will need it.

7. 7Unseal the entrance to the Cursed Temple

   [-10,22]

   Open the entrance with the lever. Those who don't have the quest can't operate it: do it for them so they can enter.

   

8. 8Talk to the Bontarian Veteran

   Dialogue[-10,22] · Bontarian Veteran

   A Bontarian woman claims she will stop you from recovering the pact.

9. 9Enter the temple

   Movement[-10,22] · Araknas Disciple

   Ask the Araknas Disciple to go in. She agrees thanks to the magic of the stones; without it, you would need the key.

10. 10Go through the first two rooms

    Combat

    The temple is a mini-dungeon, Cursed Araknas Temple. The first room pits you against Pica-Shu, Marreur and Yneur, the second adds the Bidoo-Shu. Their spells are detailed below.

    • Pica-Shufight · level 186 · 5,400 HP · 9 AP · 5 MP

11. 11Defeat Qu'Tan

    Combat

    In the boss room, Qu'Tan is invulnerable and all the monsters, himself included, share the damage received: favor classes that hit in an area. Only his three imps can lift his invulnerability for 2 turns. You have to defeat him on his map, in a single fight.

    A killed monster is resurrected once by Qu'Tan on the next turn, with all its HP and 200 more power. Kill an imp first: it is the one that will be re-summoned instead.
