The 10 quest steps

1. 1Talk to Oto Mustam

   Dialogue[-25,33] · Oto Mustam

   The quest starts at the Brakmar militia. Bonta has hired a new, rather competent smith: track him down to offer him a job working for Brakmar.

   

2. 2Visit the smiths' workshop

   Movement[3,29] · Norb

   Enter the workshop. Norb doesn't work for Bonta, but one of his friends does. He is rather special and lives in a cave to the southwest, in the Porcos territory.

3. 3Enter the cave.

   Movement[1,32]

   Enter the cave and pull the lever. From there, you need to be at least four: come with three other characters, because you will need to stand on slabs.

   Before entering, check that you have 1 Dragobutt Philtre, 1 Watchamatrich Tongue, 10 Frying Oil and 5 Etching Board: they are used in the next quest.

4. 4Win the first fight

   A first fight starts, as a group: it's not that simple. Spells encountered: Coin Throwing (130 Water damage at range), Trap-peze (summons an unmovable Vorpal Sword), Get Outta There (20 Earth damage and a push of about 450 damage), Magic Mirror (reflects spells of level 6 or lower for 5 turns: remember to dispel), Robo-hula-hoop (100 Earth damage to characters in contact) and Dysfunction (220 Fire damage in an area).

5. 5Fight in room N

   Combat

   In the next room, each character gets a Mechanical Part bearing a letter by beating a room's monster, alone. One character fights in room N: this is recommended for whoever is doing the quest. Spells: Muggy Explosion (150 Fire damage, minimizes random effects for 1 turn) and Mousse-Push (120 Water damage, push of about 100 damage, -10 MP removal for 2 turns).

6. 6Fight in room A

   Combat

   Two characters take turns fighting the monster in room A, alone. It is invulnerable: survive until turn 11, and it then dies automatically. Spells: Unhinging (invulnerable state), Flammekueche (200 Fire damage) and Botulism (120 Neutral damage, 15% erosion for 2 turns, -1 AP and -1 MP for 1 turn).

7. 7Fight in room R

   Combat

   One character fights the monster in room R alone. Spells: Incendiesel (150 Fire damage, 20% erosion for 1 turn) and Seismic Shockwave (heals itself for 137 HP). Beyond four, the other characters fight in a random room to move forward.

   The monster in room R kills in one hit on turn 6: hurry up and defeat it.

8. 8Open the gate

   Enter the next room and place each character on the cell with their letter. The grid stays open long enough: get everyone through without falling into the holes.

   The floor is full of holes: a character who falls ends up in the basement and has to climb back up.

9. 9Win the last fight

   In the next room, another fight awaits you, as a group.

10. 10Talk to Nara

    Dialogue[1,32] · Nara

    You arrive in front of the smith Nara: explain to him that Brakmar wants to hire him. The quest ends.

    Don't leave right away: start and do the next quest on the spot.
