An Arrogant Search
An Arrogant Search is a repeatable, solo quest in Lineage 2 BoHPTS for characters of level 60–75. It starts with Hanellin in Town of Aden.
Above the Tower of Insolence swirls a mysterious vortex. There the gods have sealed Baium, the arrogant creator of the tower. What can you learn there?
An Arrogant Search walkthrough
The quest An Arrogant Search for the way to the epic boss Baium is taken in the dark guild in Aden from the NPC Hanellin; it can be done from level 60, but as a rule it is done together with the subclass quests.
Town of Aden. Take the quest from Magister Hanellin.
Forsaken Plains (teleport from Town of Aden). Hunt Yintzu (lv. 56), Paliote (lv. 57) until you have:
Shell of Monsters.
Town of Aden. Return to Magister Hanellin.
We return to Magister Hanellin. She gives a new task: to carry three letters to three different NPCs, do what they say and bring three relics.
Aden Castle. Talk to Claudia Athebaldt.
We start with the NPC in Aden: Claudia Athebalt stands before Aden castle, the way to her is through the gate that joins the town to the castle.
The Cemetery. Talk to Holy Ark of Secrecy 2.
Claudia sends us to The Cemetery, the place where Cabrio stands; the way is in the description of the location, only when you enter the gate, Cabrio is to the left and the chest to the right. We come up to the chest and talk to it, and a mob appears.
Kill Ark Guardian Elberoth (lv. 60) to get:
2nd Key of Ark.We kill it, and a key drops from the corpse.
Return to Holy Ark of Secrecy 2. Hand over:
2nd Key of Ark. You receive: 
Book of Saint.We talk to the chest again, and Book of Saint falls into the ordinary inventory.
Town of Giran. Find Martien at the north gate.
Next we teleport to Giran and look for Martien: from the teleport point we run into the passage where the warriors' guild is; before the exit from the town, behind the last little house on the right, stands this NPC.
Tanor Canyon (teleport from Town of Dion). Talk to Holy Ark of Secrecy 3.
Martien sends us to Tanor Canyon; there is no need to teleport anywhere, we run out of the town through the exit next to the smithy and run to the canyon. As soon as we have run into the location, without turning anywhere, we run to a high mountain, climb it and see one more high mountain right in front of us. On that second mountain, at the very top, is the chest.
Kill Ark Guardian Shadowfang (lv. 60) to get:
3rd Key of Ark.
Return to Holy Ark of Secrecy 3. Hand over:
3rd Key of Ark. You receive: 
Bough of Saint.Everything goes the same way as at the first chest: a talk, a mob, a key, the item Bough of Saint.
Dark Elf Village. Talk to Magister Harne.
The third NPC, Harne, stands in the temple in the Dark Elven Village.
Undine Waterfall. Talk to Ark Guardian's Corpse.
She sends you to Swampland (teleport right from here, from the village). We teleport and run by the quest arrow; having reached a mountain, we see some stones at its foot, remember them and climb the mountain to the left of the stones. Up there lies the corpse of an angel. We talk to it, and its killer appears.
Kill Angel Killer (lv. 60).
We beat it; we will not kill it, but we will kick it about.
Return to Ark Guardian's Corpse. You receive:
1st Key of Ark.After the Angel Killer disappears, we talk to the angel again and get the key.
Talk to Holy Ark of Secrecy 1. Hand over:
1st Key of Ark. You receive: 
Blood of Saint.And we go to that heap of stones we remembered. Behind the stones the last chest is hidden; we open it and get Blood of Saint.
Town of Aden. Return to Magister Hanellin. Hand over:
Book of Saint, Bough of Saint, Blood of Saint. You receive: 
White Fabric.We return to Hanellin and hand the items in. She asks for one orange healing potion (
Greater Healing Potion) and five antidotes (
Antidote); we buy all that in the nearest shop and give it to the NPC. Then comes a dialogue with her in which you must choose the line "I want to make some money". Let me explain why: the quest goes on even if you poke the first line, but then you are not given the additional fabrics and you get to Baium only once, and then everything has to be done anew; so we definitely poke the second line. Hanellin gives us a white fabric and sends us to the Tower of Insolence.Tower of Insolence (teleport from Town of Aden). Hunt Platinum Tribe Shaman (lv. 70), Platinum Tribe Overlord (lv. 71) until you have:
Blooded Fabric.Now we set off to the seventh floor of the tower (the detailed way is in the description of the location, Tower of Insolence); we run onto the floor and look for the mobs Platinum Tribe Shaman and Platinum Tribe Overlord (the second is preferable, as the shaman can cancel your buffs, while the overlord can only stun you). We lead a mob out into an empty corridor, take our weapon off and start beating it with bare hands. It is better when many people beat the mob at once: it attacks only one, and the others beat it in peace. Some take a Necromancer along to hang paralysis on the mob, or a cat summoner with a cubic: when the cubic works, the mob is paralysed too. Colouring the fabric takes 40-50 minutes.
Town of Aden. Return to Magister Hanellin. You receive:
White Fabric ×9.As soon as the fabric is coloured, we return to Hanellin. As a reward we get two little nuts and one key material for a top B weapon, plus nine more white fabrics, which are already coloured in the usual way (that is, with a weapon in hand) on the angels in the tower (I usually colour on the tenth floor, but any other from the 7th up will do). The fabrics can be coloured at once or later; I prefer at once, as somebody may fail at Baium (well yes, it happens that Baium is not farmed at the first try), then Baium falls asleep again and the access to him opens once more.
The entrance to Baium is on the 14th floor of the tower, through the Angelic Vortex. Crowds may be waiting for you on the fourteenth floor. As a rule, those who come for the subclass are let through to Baium without hindrance: we go inside and modestly wait aside until the epic is woken up; as soon as we are allowed, we run up, prick Baium and teleport to town. We go on with the subclass quests: Fate's Whisper.
Tips
- When Hanellin asks about companions, say that you work alone, to get all three letters yourself. The other answer splits the errands between three members of a party.
- By the quest journal the additional white fabrics are dipped in the blood of a seal angel or a guardian angel of the tower.
