Saga of the Adventurer

Are you from the union? Then please, listen carefully to what I'm about to say.

• "I'm listening."

Looks like that Bernard sent me another useless person. Or maybe it was my fault for picking someone like Bernard, that worthless coin collector, to lead the guild.

(Only Treasure Hunter characters above level 76 are permitted to take on this quest.)

Finally, someone useful. Go meet with Klaus. He came the closest, out of all the challengers. I head that he's wasting his time fishing and drinking in Goddard Castle Town after failing the challenge and becoming a wreck like me. He'll help you with the first clue about the forbidden power. Try to make my dream come true this time.

Also, this is what I've written down about the monster that crippled me, so it will be helpful for you to read.

Now, don't even think about coming back until you have that power in your hand!

Did you try the Fishermen's Guild in Goddard Castle Town? br>Klaus has to be in there somewhere.

When I was a member of the Hunter Guild, I challenged the forbidden power of the gods that surpassed the power of ordinary humans. And I failed...

My broken body couldn't challenge that power again, and members within the guild who envied me pushed me out...

I was disappointed and discouraged.

But then I thought: If I can't do it myself, I can still train someone to get that power in my stead. So I used my brain instead of brawn to reach the guild's highest position after a long struggle. The person that I wanted did not appear while I occupied that position. So I resigned with the promise from the succeeding guild president that I would receive potential candidates every week.

He's obsessed with coin collecting now, but he looked like he had promise back then... Sigh.

Well, are you ready to challenge yourself? I'm asking if you're prepared to challenge that power. Broken as I am and ambitious as I was, I was never given such a choice from a wiser elder.

• Say that you're ready for the challenge.

Oh, I can never truly be sure that I will live to see someone hold such power.

I have high expectations for you, but will you be able to achieve what I could not?

• Say Yes.

Finally, my lifelong efforts have been fulfilled.

I'm proud of you.

I'll inform my former guild through Bernard. There is a title for people like you who overcome unimaginable hardship and obtain that power.

You are an "Adventurer."

Within your body hides an amazing power, but you are not skilled enough to control it yet.

What a pity!

Improve your skills and come back.

(Only a character of level 76 or above is allowed to transfer to another class. Be careful. You cannot change occupation if you stop Quest!)

For my sake and for the sake of my followers, I cannot surrender now! Are you with me?

I'm not fighting only for myself! I won't give you this chance! Will you withdraw?

Damn! Missed him again!

Oh, it's you! Keep that up and you'll never defeat Azrael nor obtain the Resonance Amulet. If you get another chance, try harder, OK?

Do you think this is a game? Don't say you're trying your best! I know you're not! Now, fight!

I'm not doing this for your amusement. This is a fight I can't withdraw from. There's no room for you here. Wait your turn.

Thanks for your help. I'm Erica. Although I couldn't kill him, I was able to get what I needed.

Azrael dropped this earlier, during the fight. It's a Resonance Amulet! You've been looking for it, right?

• "Yes, I have!"

Thanks for your help. I'm Erica. Although I couldn't kill him, I was able to get what I needed.

Azrael dropped this earlier, during the fight. It's a Resonance Amulet! Do you want it?

• "Yes, thank you!"

You won't escape again, Azrael!

Oh, there you are! Take the Resonance Amulet I gave you earlier to the Tablet of Vision. You can use the amulet to communicate with the tablet.

Take the Resonance Amulet to the Tablet of Vision. Communicate with the tablet and you'll obtain forbidden power!

This Resonance Amulet is a key that unlocks the forbidden power that resides within the Tablet of Vision. I don't have any use for it anymore. Take it with you.

Thank you for your help. If we meet again, I won't forget what you've done for me!

• "Wait!"

Here it is.

I hope to see you again someday. Goodbye!

I have been waiting for you.

Praise be, a successor to the legend!

I have been waiting a long time for the gods to send a hero like you. I have the Resonance Amulet that you seek.

But I first want to confirm that you truly are his successor. Will you accept my test?

• Say that you will take the test.

Well, go to the Ketra Orcs and get the Divine Stone of Wisdom. Like I said, Ketra Orcs are not the ones who trust strangers easily. To obtain Ketra Orcs' trust, you should go to Ketra's Messenger Wahkan in the Ketra Orc Outpost, and carry out difficult tasks that he asks you to do. You must earn the trust of the Ketra Orcs! This won't be an easy task, and will take much time and patience. Remember to never help their mortal enemies, the Varka Silenos! You'd never regain their trust!

Well, go to the Varka Silenos and get the Divine Stone of Wisdom. Like I said, Varka Silenos are not the ones who trust strangers easily. To obtain Varka Silenos' trust, you should go to Varka's Messenger Naran Ashanuk in the Varka Silenos Outpost, and carry out difficult tasks that he asks you to do. You must earn the trust of the Ketra Orcs! This won't be an easy task, and will take much time and patience. Remember to never help their mortal enemies, the Ketra Orcs! You'd never regain their trust!

Obtaining it won't be an easy task. This is your chance to prove that you are truly the one to succeed the legend! After earning the trust of the tribe you chose and being regarded as a true friend by them, you can obtain the Divine Stone of Wisdom. For Ketra Orcs, you must go to Ketra's Messenger Wahkan in the Ketra Orc Outpost whereas you must go see Varka's Messenger Naran Ashanuk in the Varka Silenos Outpost for Varka Silenos.

Have you brought the Divine Stone of Wisdom?

• "Here it is."

The Tablet of Vision is located at a Varka Silenos stronghold to the north. Do not disappoint the one who sent me here.

There are two options for this test, and I'll let you choose. The Ketra Orcs and the Varka Silenos are both famous for their brutality and violence. Seek out one of the two, and bring back the Divine Stone of Wisdom that they only give to their true friends. Which race will you choose?

• Select the Ketra Orcs!
• Select the Varka Silenos!

You have passed the first test. Few have come this far, so you may truly be the successor.

But this is not the last of your trials. There is still a difficult road ahead of you.

I pray that you will overcome it wisely.

Here is the Resonance Amulet. The Tablet of Vision is located north of the Varka Silenos stronghold, so go and commune with it. The Tablet of Vision will teach you where you must go next.

Evil lurks nearby.

• Examine the area.

It's Ezekiel! I read about him in the book I got from Black Cat!

Ezekiel must be dealt with first.

Someone is already using it. Wait a little while and try again.

The Resonance Amulet starts emitting light as soon as you near the Tablet of Vision.

• Commune with the Tablet of Vision.

You feel a strange, disconnected force enter your body.

The tablet seems to be communicating with you. You see a vision of a Human, standing before a house engulfed in a dark aura.

It seems to located on the road from the Ketra Orc Outpost to the Town of Goddard.

You feel the Tablet of Vision weakening.

The tablet goes completely dark. Let's go find the male Human that the Vision Stone showed.

You feel something strange.

• Examine the area.

You feel a huge surge of energy.

The tablet is still and dark. Speak with the Hero.

Someone is already using it. Wait a little while and try again.

The Resonance Amulet starts emitting light as soon as you near the Tablet of Vision.

• Commune with the Tablet of Vision.

You feel something enter your body and combine with energy that was already waiting inside. At that moment, another vision unfolds.

You feel the joy, pain, anger and love of the countless people who challenged this power.

Their emotions are like an overwhelming flood, and you scream.

But it is a scream within your mind without your mouth opening.

You are swept away by these other feelings, and your own awareness slowly disappears.

...

...

The awareness that didn't belong to you returns.

Your mouth moves without your knowing.

"Is this the end?"

This tablet is useless. Go back to Black Cat.

Ha Ha Ha! Has that old hag not given up yet?

Do you want to end up like me?

Just give up. Have a drink like I'm doing. If you drink this, all the cares of this world will go away. Ha Ha Ha!

• Ask him to give you the information regarding the forbidden power.

I am the best hunter among all the members of the Hunter's Guild! Ha Ha Ha!

Uggh. I, ah... feel a little bit tipsy, now...

Now, I've become a fisher... no, the best drunkard in Goddard! Bwa Ha Ha! Isn't it fun? Are you having fun, yet? I know how you can have even more fun. Well now, go to Valentine and bring me back some of his ice liquor!

Hey! All right, you brought the liquor! Come on, let me have it.

• Give him the ice liquor.

Didn't I tell you already? The first Tablet of Vision is located on the south side of the Tower of Insolence. Hiccup!

All right! All right! I know the path to reach the first passage. However, it's hard for me to bring up the memory of that time while I'm sober. Go to Brewer Valentine in this village, obtain the ice liquor and bring it back to me.

If I have a glass of that liquor, I just might be able to recall an old memory like that one.

Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!

You must be more capable than I thought, huh? Ha Ha Ha!

Now then, should I try to remember the old times?

Hmm... Let me see... The forbidden power was obtained by a strange hermit. It was taken away and divided by the gods. It is sealed up in several Tablets of Vision. In order to release the power that is bound in each tablet, you must have an object called a Resonance Amulet. Each Tablet of Vision has its own individual Resonance Amulet that it can communicate with!

Ah! Here it is. The first Resonance Amulet.

Take this and use it to communicate with the first Tablet of Vision which is located on the south side of the Tower of Insolence.

I told you everything I know. So now, leave me in peace and go on your way.

Did Klaus order some ice liquor?

Hmm... How strange! He knows very well how rare that stuff is!

If I'm to make some, I'll need some ingredients. Would you be willing to bring them to me?

• "I'll do it!"

Bring me an ice crystal and I'll make ice liquor.

What impeccable timing you have! I'm about ready to start brewing. Hand over the ice crystal and I'll make the liquor right away.

• "Here you go!"

Klaus must be very thirsty by now! Hurry up!

Very well, if you feel that strongly about it, I'll tell you! Ice liquor can only be made from ice crystals. You should meet with Chef Jeremy. Perhaps if you help him, he might let you know where to find ice crystals.

Here it is. The ice crystal that you gave me was more than enough, so I was able to make a few more bottles of ice liquor. It is I who should be thanking you.

There are no changes.

I may need the Resonance Amulet that the Guardians of Forbidden Knowledge have.

The Resonance Amulet starts emitting light as soon as you near the Tablet of Vision.

• Commune with the Tablet of Vision.

You feel a strange, disconnected force enter your body.

The tablet seems to be communicating with you. You see a vision of a tablet much like this one.

It appears to be located north of the Border Outpost.

You feel the Tablet of Vision weakening.

The tablet is still and dark. Find the next tablet.

There is no change.

As the hermit said, it seems that you must go to the Wall of Argos or the Imperial Tomb, capture the Archon of Halisha and bring back the Resonance Amulet.

He appears to be north of Giants Cave.

You feel the Tablet of Vision weakening.

The tablet is still and dark. Find the next Resonance Amulet now.

I can't remember the last time anyone came this far just to see me! Are you ready for the second test?

• "I'm ready."

Kill the Archon of Halisha! He can be found in the Sepulchers, or by attacking his minions on the north side of the Wall of Argos. Kill him and take possession of the fifth Resonance Amulet.

Now I shall teach you about the second test. The Archon of Halisha has the fifth Resonance Amulet. You must capture him in order to obtain the fifth Stone.

After doing so, you can commune with the Tablet of Vision that is northwest of the Wall of Argos.

Now I will tell you how to capture the Archon of Halisha.

He is often at the Imperial Tomb. Capture his followers on the northern side of the Wall of Argos, and he might come out.

My wait for the successor may yet be over. Go carefully, and good luck be with you.

It appears that they're located in the northeast part of the Valley of Saints!

The tablet goes completely dark. You must retrieve the Resonance Amulet from the Guardians of Forbidden Knowledge!
