The 12 quest steps

1. 1Talk to Ward Cowly

   Dialogue[-23,38] · Ward Cowly

   Behind Ward Cowly stretches the Brakmar mine, with its deep green deposits reflecting the lava. He no longer dares go there: he hears moaning in it and believes it's the ghosts of rats that fell into the lava.

   

2. 2Find the source of the noise

   Movement[-22,37]

   Click the crate of tricky bombs, at the foot of the rocks at the top left. A Lost Kikitty appears: talk to her. Lost, she is afraid of rats. To gain her trust, prove to her that rats don't scare you.

   Dialogue

   1. “Try to pet the kikitty”

   

3. 3Collect 20 Brakmar Rat Tufts

   Items

   Brakmar Rat Tufts drop at 100% from all rats in the Bowels of Brakmar area. The dungeon's rats also give them, except the dungeon's unique monster.

4. 4Show the tufts to the kikitty

   Items[-22,37] · Lost Kikitty

   Go back to the Lost Kikitty: she now trusts you and agrees to follow you.

   • 20 × Brakmar Rat Tuftto hand over

5. 5Try to lead the kikitty to the exit

   Dialogue[-21,37] · Lost Kikitty

   On the map to the right, the kikitty has stopped in front of the green ore deposit. Whatever dialogue you choose, she ignores you, fixated on the deposit.

   Dialogue

   1. “Give up and go back to Ward Cowly to talk about this strange ore”

6. 6Tell the story to Ward Cowly

   Dialogue[-23,38] · Ward Cowly

   Tell him that his ghosts are a kikitty. He is allergic to chachas and begs you to make it leave. It's the light of the ore that holds it there: a shard from the deposit would let you lure it outside with a play of light, but you need a specific tool to extract it.

7. 7Craft the Single-Use Pick

   Crafting

   Craft a Single-Use Pick with the Smith profession, level 10 or higher: 1 Pointed Stone Fragment, 1 Chestnut Wood and 1 Ferrite.

   The pick breaks as soon as it's used and may yield nothing. You can craft several at once.

   • 1 × Pointed Stone Fragmentto hand over
   • 1 × Chestnut Woodto hand over
   • 1 × Ferriteto hand over
   • Single-Use Pickreceived

8. 8Show the pick to Ward Cowly

   Items[-23,38] · Ward Cowly

   Ward Cowly confirms that the pick should let you recover a shard, but it can only be used once and success isn't guaranteed.

9. 9Extract a precious mineral shard

   [-21,37]

   Equip the Single-Use Pick in place of your weapon, then click the smallest green deposit, the one in front of the kikitty. If the shard doesn't come out, craft another pick and try again.

   The pick is destroyed on the first click. The higher your miner level, the better your chances: about 1 in 5 at level 200.

   • Precious Mineral Shardreceived

10. 10Lure the kikitty out of the sewers

    [-21,37] [-21,36]

    Double-click the Precious Mineral Shard to lure the kikitty with a play of light. Go up at [-21,36] and try again, then leave the sewers at [-21,36] and use the shard one last time.

11. 11Talk to the kikitty

    Dialogue[-21,36] · Lost Kikitty

    She doesn't want to stop playing. Show her the shard: she snatches it from your hands and runs off with it.

12. 12Reassure Ward Cowly

    Dialogue[-23,38] · Ward Cowly

    Go back to the sewers and tell Ward Cowly that he has nothing more to fear, from either ghosts or chachas. The quest ends.

Where does the quest The Light at the End of the Sewers start?

With Ward Cowly, in the Brakmar sewers at [-23,38]. You must be at least level 90.

Where do you find the Brakmar Rat Tufts?

From all the rats in the Bowels of Brakmar, at 100%. You need 20; the dungeon's rats give them too, except its unique monster.

How do you craft the Single-Use Pick?

With the Smith profession, level 10 or higher: 1 Pointed Stone Fragment, 1 Chestnut Wood and 1 Ferrite.

I'm not getting the mineral shard, is that normal?

Yes, the odds are low: about 1 in 5 at miner level 200, and the pick breaks on every attempt. Craft more and try again on the smallest green deposit, at [-21,37].

The kikitty isn't following me, what do I do?

That's expected: she ignores all the dialogues. Choose “Give up and go back to Ward Cowly to talk about this strange ore” to move on.
