The 11 quest steps

1. 1Talk to the Listless Mercenary

   Dialogue[2,3] · Listless Mercenary

   In the Destroyers' Nightmare, in the middle of a fight between Brakmarians and Bontarians, the Listless Mercenary remains impassive. You notice a dark mark on the back of her right hand. Two tasks then await you, in whatever order you like.

   Dialogue

   1. “Try to talk to the mercenary”
   2. “Decide to learn more about this Twelvian and the reasons for her presence”

2. 2Get War Bow Wows

   Movement[7,-19] · Aisling

   If you no longer have the book, obtained as a reward for Autumn Legend, go to the Astrub library and ask Prent for another copy: he points you to Aisling. Go upstairs and question her: the mercenaries only took part in the conflict between the two cities at the very beginning. Buy the book War Bow Wows from her for 50 kamas.

   Dialogue

   1. “Ask whether he has another copy of the history treatise on the mercenaries of Astrub”
   2. “Say you are looking for information on the role of the Astrubians during the wars between Bonta and Brakmar”

   • 50 kamasto pay
   • War Bow Wowsreceived

3. 3Read War Bow Wows

   Read the book. Back then, Astrub was a city of mercenaries. During the Crimson Dawn war, they split between Bonta and Brakmar, which caused their downfall: the survivors became blacksmiths and farmers, and a new era began for Astrub.

4. 4Identify the mercenary with Igor Ant

   [5,-19] · Igor Ant

   At the Astrub militia, describe the nightmare mercenary to Igor Ant. He recognizes her by the mark on her hand, hereditary in the Fanada family: it is Thea Fanada. She took leave after the death of her father, an important council member well liked by the Enutrofs, and was seen near the village of Amakna.

5. 5Find Thea Fanada

   Movement[-1,-4] · Thea Fanada

   In the Enutrof temple, enter the vault room, in front of the statue of the god: Thea Fanada is praying there. Her family is doomed to ruin by the deeds of her ancestors, and her only hope is to win Enutrof's favor.

   Dialogue

   1. “Insist a little by mentioning the nightmare”
   2. “Say that talking about it is already a first step”

   

6. 6Discover the secret of the Fanadas

   [-1,-4] · Thea Fanada

   Thea tells you what her father confessed to her on his deathbed: her ancestors struck a bargain with a shushu named Mamm'Mmmon, wealth and longevity in exchange for the deaths of many Astrubians during the Crimson Dawn battle. The contract was renewed from generation to generation, but Thea refused to renew it, and the nightmare keeps haunting her.

7. 7Make offerings to Enutrof

   Dialogue[-1,-4] · Offering Chest

   In the same room, talk to the Offering Chest and make an offering, as many times as it takes: the number is random, and the lot you pick hardly matters. For example, 1 Diamond offering and 5 offerings of 50 Gold were enough to make Enutrof's Herald appear.

   Dialogue

   1. “Make an offering”
   2. “Donate 10,000 kamas”
   3. “Donate a diamond”
   4. “Donate 50 gold ore”

8. 8Talk to Enutrof's Herald

   Dialogue[-1,-4] · Enutrof's Herald

   Enutrof's Herald appears. The mercenary can be forgiven, but first you must destroy the pact with the demon, so that none of her descendants ever signs it again.

   Dialogue

   1. “Confirm as stars twinkle around the herald”
   2. “Accept without hesitation”

9. 9Lure the greedy demon

   Dialogue[2,3] · Listless Mercenary

   Go back to the Destroyers' Nightmare, to the Listless Mercenary, still in shock. Lure the shushu by playing on its greed: drop 1 kama at Thea's feet.

   Dialogue

   1. “Drop 1 kama at Thea's feet”

   • 1 kamasto pay

10. 10Defeat Mamm'Mmmon's demons

    Combat[2,3] · Mamm'Mmmon

    Ask Mamm'Mmmon, who has just appeared, to hand over the pact. He wants to sell it back to you for a billion kamas, then a copy for ten million, and finally suggests you walk over his dead body to take the contract from his chest. Two other demons appear: the fight is solo. When you win, you recover the Demonic Pact.

    Dialogue

    1. “See two other demons appear and start the fight”

    • Mmmalephistofight · level 200 · 4,400 HP · 16 AP · 5 MP
    • Demonic Pactreceived

11. 11Hand the pact to Thea Fanada

    Items[-1,-4] · Thea Fanada

    Go back to the Enutrof temple, in front of the statue, and hand the pact to Thea. She holds it out toward the statue: the pact catches fire, Enutrof has answered. Thea bursts into tears and swears to use her father's fortune to do good. The quest ends.
