The 9 quest steps

1. 1Talk to Entropix

   Dialogue[2,1] · Entropix

   The quest starts after Reality Is Out There, once you report to Xelor's Emissary about the FBA agents' investigations. Entropix, the Chronomorph born in the Xelorium, has followed you. He speaks by displaying letters on his time fragments: he wants you to question the Emissary about “zaaps cursed day”, the day the six Dofus disappeared.

   

2. 2Question Xelor's Emissary

   Dialogue[2,1] · Xelor's Emissary

   The Emissary dodges the question: she is not allowed to talk about it, and disciples of the Grand Chronomaster are already investigating. Entropix then displays “danger” and “martalo”. Martalo, a servant of Xelor, would be in danger: he is investigating in Tainela, a few days after the Cursed Day. To go back in time there, you need protection.

   Dialogue

   1. “Ask if anything unusual happened with the zaaps during the Cursed Day”

3. 3Consult Doctor Hoo

   Dialogue[20,25] · Doctor Hoo

   In the Sufokia library, Doctor Hoo explains that you need to gear up like a diver to travel through time without suddenly getting younger or older. With the tinkerer Rooky, he built a working suit, but the chronoxygene is missing ingredients: 4 Fleeting Inspiration, 4 Expiration Date and 4 Killing Time.

   Dialogue

   1. “Ask for his expertise on a hypothetical time trip”

   

4. 4Defeat the time elementals

   Combat

   The resources drop from groups of 2 to 3 time elementals, at five locations in Astrub and Amakna. Each fight is done alone.

   • [4,-19] in Astrub
   • [4,-20] in Astrub
   • [3,-20] in Astrub
   • [2,1] in Amakna
   • [3,1] in Amakna

   Spells of these elementals, values at level 200: Chronoportation (teleports up to 8 cells away); Aichmophobia Dawn (300 Air in a circle of radius 2, it hits itself for about as much); Rollbaspike (reflects 50 damage for 1 turn); Chronic Delay (300 Earth, -2 AP for 1 turn); Peak Hour (350 Fire in melee, -1 MP dodgeable, 2 on a critical hit); Time Constraint (280 Water, -3 range for 1 turn).

5. 5Bring the resources to Rooky Rolscuba

   Items[7,25] · Rooky Rolscuba

   Take the Sufokia zaapi, destination Odds and Ends Wharf. Thanks to your resources, Rooky finishes the tank that lets you breathe in another era. He lends you the suit and the tank to test them in a special anomaly.

   Dialogue

   1. “Say what brings you here and hand over the resources collected from the time elementals”

   • 4 × Fleeting Inspirationto hand over
   • 4 × Expiration Dateto hand over
   • 4 × Killing Timeto hand over
   • Chronoxygene Tankreceived
   • Chronomagic Suitreceived

   

6. 6Take Entropix to Tainela

   Dialogue[1,-32]

   Go back to [2,1] and talk to Entropix so that he follows you, then go to Tainela. Equip the Chronoxygene Tank and the Chronomagic Suit in place of your headgear and cape, then click the zaap.

   Dialogue

   1. “Follow Entropix and enter the anomaly”

   

7. 7Defeat Ganymede

   Combat[1,-32] · Ganymede

   In the anomaly, Martalo is not in his normal state and nothing brings him back to reason. Then talk to Ganymede and attack him: the fight is done alone, with a companion.

   Dialogue

   1. “Try to snap him out of his stupor”
   2. “Attack Ganymede”

   Keep the tank and the suit equipped for the whole fight, otherwise the quest does not update, even if you win. If you lose, go back and get Entropix at [2,1], then re-equip your gear at [1,-32] to pass through the zaap.

   • Ganymedefight · levels 60 to 200 · 1,900 to 12,000 HP · 12 AP · 6 MP

8. 8Listen to Martalo

   Dialogue[1,-32] · Martalo

   The anomaly's guardian had trapped Martalo in a time loop. A Watcher in the service of Xelor, he is looking for the origin of the anomalies: he found one, very faint, able to break free of Xelor's rules, which led him to the Cursed Day, and other traces that all point to the future. He will call on you and the little chronomorph.

   Dialogue

   1. “Ask what happened”

9. 9Report to Xelor's Envoy

   Dialogue[2,1] · Xelor's Emissary

   Go back to the present. The Emissary thanks you and will call on you again once the Watchers have made progress. The quest ends.

   Dialogue

   1. “Sum up your encounter with Martalo”

   If you completed The End… or the Beginning by choosing the Watchers before the final fight, Septangel appears and entrusts you with a Septangel's Small Chest, to keep until the Watchers call you back. With any other choice, no NPC appears for now.
