Saga of the Phoenix Knight

I'm sure you've felt the dilemma of being a Paladin by now.

How do you act when life, honor, truth, justice, faith and belief seem in conflict with each other? How can you reconcile that? It's not easy to find justice.

• "What do you mean?"

Come back when your sword is shinier!

(This quest may only be undertaken by a Paladin level is 76 or above.)

First, head to Goddard and find Felix there. He was once a knight of Dion, and he fell in love with a woman from a certain village.

When the peasant rebellion and the knights were sent to suppress it, he abandoned his post and ran away to protect her.

Also, this record of one of the greatest knights has been passed down through our Knight Guild. But because he became obsessed with his own glory, he eventually disappeared in the end...

Felix may be similar to him in many ways. Perhaps is it true for all of us who are called knights...

See Felix in Goddard. With his skills, he might be working as a guard or master. He will know of the ancient training.

Long ago, a peasant revolt broke out in a small village in Dion Territory. When talks failed, the local manor lord resorted to force. Obeying their orders, the top Knights of the guild fought for him.

However, many young Knights followed their conscience and sided with the peasants. The order was split, each side feeling righteous.

I wonder if either side was right. Could a Knight just be defending his ego? There is no such thing as true justice. Whether a Paladin or Dark Avenger, one must choose and defend that choice with conviction!

Will you take this training journey, as written in the book of ancient rites? Then you'll be able to answer my question!

• "I will!"

You seem different.

Do you think you know about trust? What is most important is to be trusted by others and to trust yourself. Can you answer my question now?

• "I must conduct myself honorably and practice justice."

There are many perspectives on justice.

You have to fight by the light of the justice in your heart.

My traveling days are over. You have transcended your country or religion as a Knight or Paladin with your values.

Lead your life by the candle in your heart!

You need skill to protect justice.

You have obtained enlightenment but still need the protection as a Knight of the temple.

(Only a character of level 76 or above can transfer class. Do not abandon the quest until class transfer is complete!)

So long as the light of justice within your heart continues to burn, you will be able to protect that righteousness from anything.

I pray that you have a brilliant life as a knight/ Never let your light go out.

Come back when your body is as strong as your faith.

(Only a character of level 76 or above may transfer classes. Don't abandon the quest until class transfer is complete.)

From your wounds, I'd say you've fought with Adil.

I wondered why we would undertake the pilgrimage when we couldn't even comprehend the inscriptions on the Tablets of Vision. I found out about the Resonance Amulet in the ancient texts.

I hit a wall, and my Resonance Amulet was damaged beyond use.

• "How do I repair it?"

The advance base of the Ketra Orcs is in the northern part of the Town of Goddard. Meet with Ketra's Messenger Wahkan. You can still change sides.

Do you remember what a Knight seeks to defend?

This task is relevant to that! If you fight for one side, you are fighting against the other!

The Varka Silenos stronghold is located in the western section of the Town of Goddard. Meet with Varka's Messenger Naran Ashanuk. You can still change sides.

Do you remember what a Knight seeks to defend?

This task is relevant to that! If you fight for one side, you are fighting against the other!

Go get the Divine Stone of Wisdom either from the Ketra Orcs or the Varka Silenos. Only then will this Resonance Amulet work.

Did you have to make a sacrifice to get the Divine Stone of Wisdom?

Did you choose to defend your mission, the Ketra Orcs or the Varka Silenos?

Sometimes you must make difficult choices.

• ......

Go to the forth tablet in the north of the Varka Silenos Camp. Don't forget your new friendship or your sacrifice.

This Resonance Amulet operates by a magic switch. An orc priest named Tarkai that I recently met told me how to recharge the magic power.

A piece of stone was needed, of the kind that the Ketra Orcs or the Varka Silenos possess. It is a source of energy the holds the concentrated power that flows through the ground. They call it the Divine Stone of Wisdom and they worship it.

That stone is the only way to restore the Resonance Amulet's power. But since they do not show it to anybody, you must earn their trust before you can obtain the stone. Now, which side will you visit?

• Ketra Orc
• Varka Silenos

The Resonance Amulet is whole once again! You can feel it, right? Take it and go to the forth tablet in the north of the Varka Silenos Camp. But don't forget. The works you've done to get this... and the lessons from your trials!

Finally, someone shows up! I knew it would happen sooner or later!

Do you know what you're fighting for? If so, put your conviction onto your sword and kill this seducer of knights!

Don't talk to me now! It's too dangerous! Stay away!

............ Damn the bad luck.....! He got away again!

I think I'm in over my head...!

.... If only some capable person would offer to help me....

Don't hesitate to kill! This seducer digs its claws into the strongest of hearts! Countless brave knights have been corrupted by the mere whisper of this devil! Don't you have any self-respect?

You're brave, but this isn't the time for you to fight! Stay away for now!

There is an evil that lives deep within all knights' hearts... It's the spirit that ultimately corrupts knighthood.

Beleth is a seducer. His trap lies in the foundation of equality, an absolute virtue! He treats everybody equally. That is, he destroys and corrupts all.

But, that's not. We're not all equal. From the moment you resolve in your heart to become a protector, all others become either predators, protectors or protected.

The strength of your commitment is tested daily.

The path we walk flows deep with blood and gore. The longer you walk this path, the more that sticks to you, making your feet heavy and your sword dull.

And that's not the worst of it!

• "What else is there?"

• "What else is there?"

I've already given you everything I have to give! Don't listen to me! Get your answer from that stone tablet over there!

I've already given you everything I have to give! Don't listen to me! Get your answer from that stone tablet over there!

Do you remember the oath you took when you first became a knight? To defend honor at all cost? Do you think the action of Sir Herod, who died a miserable death defending his honor, was a right one? What did you learn from the testimony of trust?

Trust is what we knights have to give to people! Trust!

Trust is also faith. You don't betray what you have faith in, nor those who have faith in you. There's only one more thing...

You must discover how to earn trust from people....

You probably already know all about this. I shouldn't need to explain it to you...

Now, ask your last question to the stone tablet.

• "Wait!"

Do you remember the oath you took when you first became a knight? To defend honor at all cost? Do you think the actions of Sir Herod, who died a miserable death defending his honor, were right? What did you learn from the testimony of trust?

Trust is all we knights have to offer!

Trust also means faith. You don't betray what you have faith in, nor those who have faith in you. There's only one more thing...

You must discover how to earn trust from people...

You probably already know all about this. I shouldn't need to explain it to you...

Now, ask your last question to the stone tablet.

I used to have the pride of a Knight. I sacrificed it to save my family.

Did Sedrick tell you I was the one who gave up everything and left?

My wife has since died, and now my daughter is very sick.

• "What's wrong?"

Did you bring me the Ice Cold Flower? I've heard that a fellow, Donath by name, at the Goddard Hot Springs can make it for you. Please find him, obtain the Ice Cold Flower and return here as quickly as possible!

Ice Cold Flower! I'll put this at her bedside when she sleeps.

You must visit the six stone tablets placed by the gods around our world.

The legendary Knight disappeared to undertake this pilgrimage! However...

• "What?"

Did you see the first stone tablet in the South of Tower of Insolence?

I don't know about the Resonance Amulet very well. However, Sedrick left this Resonance Amulet with me long time ago...

Go to the tablet. Then, commune with the first stone tablet! This is all I know now.

My daughter has come down with Execution Grounds Fever. I need an Ice Cold Flower.

Even if Sedrick has other plans for you, bring me one and I'll tell you what path to follow. Meet Chef Donath in the north, he'll help you get one.

You saved my daughter's life!

Sedrick is the only guild member to succeed in this quest.

Take this stone and commune with the stone tablet, then you'll be able to read the inscriptions on it.

The legendary Knight is the guardian of the stone tablets. He was cursed and bound to the tablets, and will attack pilgrims.

Find the first tablet to the south of the Tower of Insolence!

You haven't finished yet?

I really appreciated you saving my daughter. I'll never forget that you protected my family.

The fifth Resonance Amulet? Ah, yes. I have it, but I can't give this one to you. A Knight gave me this an hour ago and told me to tell the next Knight who visits me how to get another one.

• "Tell me how!"

There are two ways to get the amulet. You can get it either by entering the Four Sepulchers or by slaying evil monsters in the Shrine of Loyalty by the Wall of Argos. Anyways, you must kill the Archon of Halisha. The Resonance Amulet will let you know where the next tablet is.

To get the Resonance Amulet, you must kill the Archon of Halisha, either by entering the Four Sepulchers or by slaying evil monsters in the Shrine of Loyalty by the Wall of Argos.

Both paths will be difficult!

The fifth stone tablet is in the northwest corner of the Wall of Argos.

As you near the Tablet of Vision, you sense a presence. Could it be someone you've learned about in the past?

Might it be that you know the tale of the guardian of this tablet? Thoughts race through your mind. Have you read the book about Knight Adil?

• Look around

A heavy sensation grips you tightly. The one who sacrificed everything for victory! Victory in battle was his only desire! Can you defeat him? Could you possibly win against such an opponent?

The time has come to examine the Tablet of Vision. Adil's attack is coming constantly! Defeat him first!

You sense a disturbance near the tablet.

The time hasn't yet come for you to prove yourself. Come back later.

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

• Commune with the Tablet of Vision.

Countless thoughts beyond comprehension sear painfully into your brain. You hear the faint whisper of a woman's voice.

A vision appears... A handsome young knight, entering the Town of Aden with a Resonance Amulet!

Could it be... Sedrick?

Further communion with this tablet is futile.

Get the next Resonance Amulet from Grand Master Sedrick at Sedrick's Training Hall in the Town of Aden!

As you approach the tablet, you feel a presence. Could it be the soul of the one who discouraged Sedrick and degraded the Fallen Knight Adil, here to prevent anyone from learning the secrets of the tablet?

It looks back at you with the eyes of those you chose not to protect.

Now the tablet is before your eyes! Is it an illusion?

The sound of swordplay brings you back to reality.

• Patrol the area.

Suddenly you feel a chill, and then see the flash of a blade!

When you open your eyes you discover that a mortal blow was blocked...

The tablet is still and dark.

You must speak with Eric over there.

There's a disturbance near the tablet, but it's not your business. Don't get involved.

Come back when it's time.

The Resonance Amulet begins emitting light as you near the tablet.

• Commune with the Tablet of Vision.

An absolute sense of knowledge seeps into your mind. It sounds like someone's voice can be heard.

The voice speaks. "So... another hero is born."

A woman's voice replied, "Not yet, he's just a child without a mother's love."

You feel an infinite freedom, then a voice rings out in your head:

"Go and find Grand Master Cedric of the Knights' Clan and tell him of your englightenment. Take the title of Phoenix Knight, the eternal Knight."

Further communion with this tablet would be futile. Go back to Grand Master Sedrick in the Town of Aden.

So, you want an Ice Cold Flower, eh? What do you need it for?

Oh no! Not Execution Grounds Fever!? Isn't... That fever caused by corpses?

The ingredients for Ice Cold Flower are hard to come by...

• "What can I do?"

That's a very serious disease! Whoever gets it falls down and doesn't get back up!

Ask Chef Jeremy about the Ice Crystal. Ask a fisherman for the fat white fish, or perhaps you could catch it yourself!

Here's the Ice Crystal... and, a fat white fish! You've brought both of them! The dish is very simple. This fish contains cold air. Cut it carefully into thin slices and wrap them around Ice Crystals... It makes a great sushi! It perfectly enhances the chill of the Ice Crystal and spreads the cold air around it. Use the scales to wrap it up and seal it. This dish is called Ice Cold Flower... And here it is!

• "Thank you!"

Hey, what are you doing here? Didn't you say that Felix's daughter was dying?

I've been working my ass off for you!

First, I'll need an Ice Crystal and a fat white fish. The dish's name is deceptive. It's actually a lovely cold dish made of fish. As Ice Crystals are the legendary food material, Chef Jeremy can tell you more of the details.

You can either get the fish from a fisherman or catch it yourself!

Put it near the patient's head and pull that string. The dish will open like a flower and chilled air will escape from it. Did you say the patient was Felix? Or his daughter? Anyways, that chill should cure the Execution Grounds Fever.

Now, you know what to do. Hurry back to your patient.

The hieroglyphs on the tablet are indecipherable. The Guardians of Forbidden Knowledge have the Resonance Amulet you need to access this tablet.

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

• Commune with the Tablet of Vision.

Countless thoughts beyond comprehension sear painfully into your brain. A female voice seems to float on by as if she were quietly laughing at you...

Suddenly you sense the presence of a knight named Adil, he who gave up everything for what he desired... Victory!

He waits inside the Wall of Argos.

Further communion with this tablet is futile.

You must prepare to meet Adil, the corrupt knight, and take the Resonance Amulet from him!

The Tablet lies still as if there was no change.

The correct Resonance Amulet is obtainable at the Imperial Tomb or the Shrine of Loyalty.

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

• Commune with the Tablet of Vision.

A sharp blast of knowlege courses through your cranium! A vision of a black knight appears...

Sedrick was defeated! The last Resonance Amulet...

It was the black knight who corrupted Adil!

Further communion with this tablet would be futile. The next Resonance Amulet is in the Forest of the Dead in Rune Territory.

The horror of Sedrick's defeat is burned into my memory. Can I defeat the black knight?

The Resonance Amulet starts emitting light as you near the tablet.

• Commune with the Tablet of Vision.

Countless thoughts beyond comprehension sear painfully into your brain. A female voice seems to float on by as if she were quietly laughing at you...

You sense the presence of many armed guards protecting the Resonance Amulet. They're in the northeastern part of the Valley of Saints.

Further communion with this tablet is futile. The next Resonance Amulet can be found in the northeastern part of the Valley of Saints. Kill the guardians and take their Resonance Amulet.

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

• Commune with the Tablet of Vision.

Countless thoughts beyond comprehension sear painfully into your brain. A vision appears of a mysterious dark knight...

A man smiles broadly, because his daughter's illness was cured at the Town of Goddard. He also has the Resonance Amulet! Speak with Master Felix in the Town of Goddard.

Further communion with this tablet would be pointless at this time.

Speak with Master Felix in the Town of Goddard.
