Bladedancer class transfer quest: first mark (level 35)

Quest: Trial of the Challenger · reward: Mark of Challenger · given by Kash

This mark is made only of boss fights: take a party or come a few levels higher.

The first quest for the second profession for all the melee damage dealers (Bladedancer, Destroyer, Gladiator, Swordsinger, Tyrant and Warlord): Trial of the Challenger. The quest is so simple and quick that it is downright annoying: why does such happiness go to the damage dealers too, why not give it to the Shillien Elder or the Elven Elder. No such luck. Well, never mind, at least somebody got lucky. In this quest we have to be speleologists for a while: visit three caves and one dungeon. No tedious grinding of heaps of mobs. A freebie has arrived.

  1. Town of Dion. Find Kash in the Warriors Guild and take the quest. You receive: Letter of Kash.

    The quest is taken at level 35 from the NPC Kash behind the warriors guild of Dion (in the yard between the warriors guild and the warehouse).

    Where to find Kash: map of Town of Dion
  2. Undine Waterfall. Kill Shyslassys (lv. 36) to get: Broken Key.

    The first quest mob Kash sends us to is called by the strange name Shyslassys (it looks as if somebody among the developers had all his teeth knocked out, and such a name was all he could utter). The quest mob lives in a cave under the waterfall in the location not far from the Swampland (teleport from the dark elven village; the NPC recommends running from the Neutral Zone, but it is much farther from there). We teleport to the Swampland and run to the waterfall. Several NPCs and several quest trees will stand there; we run past them and into the cave under the waterfall, and in the left branch stands the quest mob with its guards. We beat all the mobs; I left this very Shshshslshshsh for last, because after it a chest appears.

    Shyslassys in Lineage 2 BoHPTS
  3. Talk to Chest Of Shyslassys. Hand over: Broken Key. You receive: Scroll of Shyslassys.

    In the dialogue with the chest, Chest of Shyslassys, we press the line "use some key" (that line is the one and only there, you will not miss).

  4. Town of Dion. Return to Kash in the Warriors Guild. Hand over: Scroll of Shyslassys.

    Then we return to Kash in Dion.

  5. Town of Giran. Find Martien at the north gate.

    Kash sends us to Giran, to the NPC Martien, who stands at the upper right exit from the town.

    Martien in Lineage 2 BoHPTS
    Where to find Martien: map of Town of Giran
  6. Floran Village. Kill Gorr (lv. 36) to get: Watcher's 1st Eye.

    Martien says that we have to run to the outskirts of Floran, but in fact the next cave is next to the Monster Derby Track, so we teleport from Dion to the Plains of Dion; to the right of the track there will be a mountain, and on its right side there is the entrance to the cave. We go inside and see the quest mobs, among which is the main one, Gorr. We beat them all and get the quest item.

    Gorr in Lineage 2 BoHPTS
  7. Town of Giran. Return to Martien at the north gate.

    We return to Martien.

  8. Hive Fortress. Kill Baraham (lv. 36) to get: Watcher's 2nd Eye.

    The next cave is in the location Beehive; it is the cave we have to run to for the noblesse quest. The mobs are the same, the key mob is Baraham. We go into the cave and kill all the mobs.

    Baraham in Lineage 2 BoHPTS
  9. Talk to Champion Raldo.

    The NPC Champion Raldo appears and tells us that we ought to go to the dwarven village and have a talk with the dwarf Filaur.

    Champion Raldo in Lineage 2 BoHPTS
  10. Dwarven Village. Find Gray Pillar Member Filaur in the main hall of the village.

    Filaur stands in the round house opposite the teleport. We run to him; he hints that our way leads farther to the Mithril Mines, where we have to find the quest mob Succubus Queen. No problem.

    Gray Pillar Member Filaur in Lineage 2 BoHPTS
    Where to find Gray Pillar Member Filaur: map of Dwarven Village
  11. Abandoned Coal Mines (teleport from Dwarven Village). Kill Succubus Queen (lv. 34).

    At this point I will tell a little more, because many look for this mob for a long time. The Succubus Queen stands at the very bottom of the Mithril Mines, it is just a long run to her. I had not been there for a long time and ran there again now: it all took 12 minutes. The mines have several entrances; I will tell about the way that starts from the usual teleport to the mines. In the mines each room has a way to the level below: either a descent by stairs or simply a road down between the rooms. We need to go down all the time. We enter the mine, pass the first corridor and go left, go down into the next room and left, there will be a wooden staircase. And down again. In short, you have got the principle. Down all the time. You may pay no attention to the mobs, they are small; even if they drain your HP, an ordinary healing potion makes up for it.

    Succubus Queen in Lineage 2 BoHPTS
  12. So, going down lower and lower, you soon reach a little bridge. That means you are on the right way. We cross the bridge and continue the descent; farther on there will be some water on the right side, we run past it and on. At some moment you run into a big room with a huge hole in the centre going down in rings. We jump in there; there will be mobs of levels 29-30, but they will not catch you. After the jump we run into the exit that is right in front of you. A few rooms later a light appears ahead. We move in that direction and soon run out into an open space. We keep moving towards the light and run out onto a platform, in the centre of which stands some strange construction, and next to it that very quest mob, the Succubus Queen.

  13. Return to Champion Raldo. You receive: Mark of Challenger.

    We kill the quest mob, Champion Raldo appears again, we talk to him and get the mark Mark of Challenger. My congratulations.

  14. Next, racial quests await all the seekers of the second profession. The Gladiator and the Warlord go to do the quest for all the humans, Testimony of Trust. The Bladedancer do the quest for the dark elves, Testimony of Fate. The Swordsinger the quest for the light elves, Testimony of Life. And the Destroyer and the Tyrant the quest for the orcs, Testimony of Glory.

Tips

  • I will note one point here which does not matter on Interlude, but surely those who do this quest on later chronicles will come here too. When the Mithril Mines were populated with mobs of 85+, this quest mob was moved to the Abandoned Coal Mines, into the room where Master Toma appears.
  • Raldo does not stay long after a fight, so talk to him as soon as he appears.

Bladedancer class transfer quest: second mark (level 37)

Quest: Testimony of Fate · reward: Mark of Fate · given by Magister Kaira

The quest stops halfway until level 38: do the first half at 37 and come back a level later.

The second quest for the second profession for all the dark elves: Testimony of Fate. Doing this quest can become a problem only for the Shillien Elder, but her we will surely help by asking one of the players to run beside us and, if need be, to bring the mobs down to low HP so that we can finish them off ourselves; all the other dark elves will manage without outside help. And in general it is a rather murky quest, but what can you do. By the example of this quest I am convinced once more: the more mawkish the story NCsoft invented for a quest, the more tedious the quest turns out.

Belladonna for Metheus

  1. Town of Giran. Find Magister Kaira in the Dark Elven Guild and take the quest. You receive: Kaira's Letter.

    The quest is taken at level 37 from Magister Kaira, who stands in the dark elven guild of Giran.

  2. Find Brother Metheus behind the temple. You receive: Metheus's Funeral Jar.

    Kaira sends us to the NPC Brother Metheus, who (as she asserts) stands in the temple of Einhasad in Giran; in fact he stands outside the temple, at its side.

  3. Execution Grounds. Hunt Hangman Tree (lv. 35) until you have: Kasandra's Remains.

    Brother Metheus needs an item that is knocked out of the mob Hangman Tree (a tree of that kind) in the location Execution Grounds; we run there quickly (from Dion or from Giran) and knock out the item Kasandra's Remains.

    The next step is making the poison called belladonna, which heaven knows who can make (the quest does not mention a concrete NPC), but you have to go to the dark elven guild of Dion to Master Ixia. She needs 10 items collected from each of five mobs. The drop is not at all 100%, especially on the medusas, do not get too angry.

From the teleport we run straight and to the left past the basilisks, skeletons and golems. Some quest mobs will stand nearby there too. They say that the items drop from the Tyrant Kingpin as well. You can come from the side of the Wasteland, there you only have to run straight.

    Tyrant Kingpin in Lineage 2 BoHPTS
  8. Gorgon Flower Garden. Hunt Medusa (lv. 34) until you have: Medusa's Ichor ×10.

    10 Medusa's Ichor in the location Gorgon Flower Garden between the town of Giran and Giran Castle, on the map nearer to the catacombs, from the mobs Medusa.

    And hurry to Brother Metheus. We hand the belladonna in and get some skull in return.

Kaysha's Revelations

    We carry it to Kaira. Oh, it was the skull of some fellow whose spirit at once appeared next to Kaira.

  2. Talk to Alders Spirit.

    We communicate with Alders Spirit (it turned out to be a regular spiritualist séance).

  3. Talk to Magister Roa. You receive: Alder's Receipt.

    After such close communication with a ghost we go to the mages guild of Giran (to the right of the temple of Einhasad, you also have to run across a little bridge there) to the NPC Magister Roa; when you talk to him, choose the second answer (Even with you hands put on, the moon will shine).

  4. Gludin Village. Find Warehouse Keeper Norman in the warehouse. You receive: Revelations Manuscript.

    Roa readdresses us to Gludin Village, to Norman, who sits there in the warehouse (a nasty fellow, he takes part in many quests); from Norman we get a book.

  5. Town of Giran. Return to Magister Kaira in the Dark Elven Guild. You receive: Kaira's Recommendation.

    Kaira sends you far away, namely to our starting village, to Tetrarch Thifiell (in the temple of Shilen, by the entrance).

    Where to find Tetrarch Thifiell: map of Dark Elf Village
  2. Altar of Rites. Talk to Witch Arkenia. You receive: Arkenia's Note.

    And that little wretch gives you nothing but sends you on to Arkenia at the Altar of Rites (she also takes part in several quests, but for those who do not know: you have to teleport to the Spider Nest from the dark elven village and run to her on foot). We run. We get the tasks from her. What we have to do now: as you may have noticed more than once when running through these parts, the NPCs Bloody Pixy (a flying fairy) and Blight Treant (a bearded tree) keep turning up there. You probably wondered why on earth there are so many of them and why they roam here. Well, now it is clear why they roam; true, it is not clear why there are so many. In short, you have to talk to any of the pixies and to any tree, and they will say what has to be knocked out of whom.

    Witch Arkenia in Lineage 2 BoHPTS
  3. Swampland (teleport from Dark Elf Village). Talk to Blight Treant. You receive: Blight Treant Seed.

    Blight Treant in Lineage 2 BoHPTS
  4. Hunt Black Willow Lurker (lv. 39) until you have: Black Willow Leaf.

    With the wooden one everything is simple: after the talk with it you have to teleport to the location Swampland (from the dark elven village) and turn towards the marsh. You will see the quest tree of level 39, Black Willow Lurker. For me the item always drops from the first tree.

    Black Willow Lurker in Lineage 2 BoHPTS
  5. Talk to Bloody Pixy. You receive: Pixy Garnet.

    But with the pixy not everything is so smooth: the pest sends you to beat many more mobs and knock a heap of quest items out of them. This is exactly the place where it is recommended to help the Shillien Elder, because half the mobs are level 40, and without a decent buff it will be hard for her. Bring the mobs' HP down, and the elder will finish them off.

    Bloody Pixy in Lineage 2 BoHPTS
  6. Plains of the Lizardmen (teleport from Town of Oren). Hunt Leto Lizardman Overlord (lv. 40) until you have: Leto Overlord Skull ×10.

    10 Breka Overlord Skull from the mobs Breka Orc Overlord in the location Breka's Stronghold (teleport from Giran, two mobs on the right side of the teleport point).

    Breka Orc Overlord in Lineage 2 BoHPTS
  10. Swampland (teleport from Dark Elf Village). Return to Bloody Pixy. You receive: Red Fairy Dust.

    When you have knocked out all the items, we return to the dark elves, teleport to the Spider Nest and next to the Altar of Rites look for any pixy and any tree; we give them the looted, that is, collected goods and get the reward.

  11. Return to Blight Treant. You receive: Blight Treant Sap.

  12. Altar of Rites. Return to Witch Arkenia. You receive: Arkenia's Letter.

    And we carry everything to Arkenia at the altar.

  13. Dark Elf Village. Return to Tetrarch Thifiell in the temple. You receive: Mark of Fate.

    After the talk with Arkenia we return to the village to Tetrarch Thifiell. And, oh horror, it turns out the quest is over, and I was counting on being messed about for another two hours. Hurrah, hurrah, we have won, congrats to all ). We get the mark Mark of Fate and wander off to do the last quests before getting our professions.

  14. The future Shillien Elder go to do Test of the Reformer. The future Shillien Knight go to do Test of Witchcraft. The future Bladedancer go to do Test of the Duelist. The future Abyss Walker go to do Test of the Searcher. The future Phantom Ranger go to do Test of Sagittarius. The future Phantom Summoner go to do Test of the Summoner. The future Spellhowler go to do Test of Magus.

Tips

  • Kaira gives the recommendation only to a character of level 38 or higher.
  • Bloody Pixy and Blight Treant are not single NPCs: there are many of them in the forest and swamp around the Dark Elven Village, and any one will do.
