Trial of the Pilgrim
Trial of the Pilgrim is a one-time, solo quest in Lineage 2 Scryde for characters of level 35+. It starts with Santiago in Orc Barracks.
This quest is one of the three marks of:
To understand the power of a deity, you must first understand its nature. Open your mind to new patterns of thought. True enlightenment comes to all who seek it.
Trial of the Pilgrim walkthrough
The first quest for the second profession for all the buffers (Prophet, Shillien Elder, Elven Elder, Overlord, Bishop and Warcryer): Trial of the Pilgrim. The point of the quest is to go round the representatives of all the races and grasp their divine essence in talks with them. Well, let us begin.
Pa'agrio: the flame
Orc Barracks (teleport from Gludin Village). Find Hermit Santiago at the ranch and take the quest. You receive:
Voucher of Trial.The quest is taken at level 35 from the NPC Santiago in the location Orc Barracks (teleport from Gludin Village).
Orc Village. Find Seer Tanapi in the main hall of the village.
First of all we set off to the orcs and look in their village for the NPC Seer Tanapi, who stands on the first floor of the Kings Hall building; if you come from the gatekeeper's side, it is immediately to the left as soon as you enter the building.
Cave of Trials (teleport from Orc Village). Talk to Ancestor Martankus.
Tanapi sends you to the location Cave of Trials (it is right here, in the orc territory, there is a teleport) to find the NPC Ancestor Martankus in the cave. I will say at once that the first time I wandered there for a long while before I found the NPC. So as soon as we enter the cave, before the first mobs, we jump off the little bridge to the right. Having jumped down, we plod on to the very end until in one of the rooms we see a big stone head. We talk to it.
Forgotten Temple (teleport from Gludin Village). Hunt Lava Salamander (lv. 35) until you have:
Essence of Flame.The head demands that we bring it the Essence of Flame, which can be knocked out of the quest mob of level 35, Lava Salamander, living in the location Forgotten Temple (teleport from Gludin). We go down into the cave of the Forgotten Temple and turn right there into the fiery part of the cave. We pass two corridors with non-aggressive mobs, the room with the raid boss Tirak, and after that in each room we look into the small rooms that are to the left of the main passage. In one of them the quest mobs stand. (I have just run through there once more: counting from the raid boss, and counting only the rooms with mobs, in the second big room turn left, several quest ones stand there. The item dropped from the fourth mob on x1 rates.)
Cave of Trials (teleport from Orc Village). Return to Ancestor Martankus. You receive:
Spirit of Flame.We knock the essence out and return to the head. We hand the item in.
Orc Village. Return to Seer Tanapi in the main hall of the village.
And report to Tanapi. That is all with the orcs.
Maphr: the earth
Dwarven Village. Find Gauri Twinklerock next to the smithy. You receive:
Tag of Rumor.Now we go to the dwarven village to the NPC Gauri Twinklerock; she stands to the right of the smithy in the village. She gives the task of visiting the NPCs Priest of the Earth Gerald and Wanderer Dorf. These NPCs stand at different ends of the village, at opposite exits.
Talk to Wanderer Dorf.
I first went to Gerald, who squeezed 100k adena out of me, then went to Dorf, who called me a fool and said that I should not have given the money. With Dorf you have to talk twice: the first time he swears hard, the second time he sends you to Giran, to the NPC Priest Primos. That is all with the dwarves too.
Einhasad: the light
Town of Giran. Find Priest Primos in the temple.
Priest Primos stands in the temple of Einhasad in Giran, on the right side. He sends you at once to the human village on Talking Island, where in the temple the NPC Priest Petron has to be found.
Talking Island. Find Priest Petron in the temple. You receive:
Picture of Nahir.We find him and set off to beat the quest mob Nahir in the location Elven Ruins (teleport from the human village). Do not forget to talk to Petron before flying to the ruins: I flew past like that a couple of times.
Anomic Foundry. Kill Nahir (lv. 35) to get:
Hair of Nahir.We teleport to the Elven Ruins and teleport inside the dungeon. The quest mob Nahir stands in the farthest right room. The last time I suffered with it for a very long while: I had to wait for the respawn and beat it about ten times before the item dropped (it seems to be so on all the servers: one more recheck of the quest gave the drop of the item on the sixth try).
Talking Island. Return to Priest Petron in the temple. You receive:
Statue of Einhasad.The item we hand in to Petron. We have finished with the humans.
Eva and Shilen: water and darkness
Elven Village. Find Andellia on the square.
Petron sends us to the village of the light elves, to the NPC Andellia; she stands on the central square not far from the tree (an interesting point here: I always do the second-profession quests after the character reaches level 40, but today I decided to do it at once, as soon as I got 35. Well, if you come to Andellia at level 35, she may not give you the continuation of the quest but say that you still have little experience and need to raise it. Then you will have to level further: get level 36 and come to her again).
Undine Waterfall. Hunt Black Willow (lv. 30) until you have:
Debris of Willow.Now we have to find the NPC Uruha, who stands not far from the Neutral Zone (teleport from the village of either the dark or the light elves). You can run from the Neutral Zone or from the Swampland (teleport from the dark elven village). We beat the quest mobs Black Willow. A typical mistake of players at this point: they first try to talk to Uruha, and she says nothing. Do not waste time, beat the quest mobs at once; besides, the drop chance of the item is very low, once it dropped for me only from the 20th mob.
Talk to Uruha. You receive:
Book of Darkness.Now we talk to the NPC and get the Book of Darkness.
Elven Village. Return to Andellia on the square.
We return to Andellia and in the talk with her choose the item "Burn Book of Darkness". That is all with the elves too.
The sage of the Wastelands
Wasteland (teleport from Gludin Village). Talk to Elder Casian. You receive:
Book of Sage.Now we have to teleport to the location Wasteland (teleport from Gludin Village) and go towards the Ant Nest. We enter the wastes and go straight; on the right there will be a pile of rocks, you have to squeeze between them, and there will stand the NPC Elder Casian (those who played on later chronicles know where he stands, because the access to Hellbound is taken from him).
Orc Barracks (teleport from Gludin Village). Return to Hermit Santiago at the ranch. You receive:
Mark of Pilgrim.We talk to the NPC and return to the start NPC Santiago for the reward in the form of dimensional diamonds and the mark Mark of Pilgrim.
After this quest everybody goes off to their own races to do the second (racial) quest. The Prophet and the Bishop go to do the quest for the humans, Testimony of Trust. The Shillien Elder go to do the quest for the dark elves, Testimony of Fate. The Elven Elder go to do the quest for the light elves, Testimony of Life. The Overlord and the Warcryer go to do the quest for the orcs, Testimony of Glory.
Tips
- An addition from one of the players: "I noticed that if you do not talk to Gerald but talk to Dorf at once, the quest continues and you do not have to pay the 100k (with Dorf you talk twice all the same). It is not big money, it seems, but if the server has only just opened, or a newcomer has come to the server and has no other twinks, he needs that 100k badly for soulshots or something".
- Santiago is a hermit who lives outside the towns, west of the Turek orc camp; the map on this page shows the spot.

NPC dialogs
What the NPCs of the quest say, in the words of the game; under each page are the answers you can choose.
Santiago11 pages
To properly use the power of the gods, you must first understand their nature. That learning process can be most intense... Many of a higher level than yours have tried and failed. I think it would be too hard for you to endure at this moment. Come back after you have advanced your skills.
(This quest may only be performed by Clerics, Oracles, Shilen Oracles, and Orc Shamans of level 35 or higher)
I only teach those who live their lives in service to the gods!
(This quest may only be undertaken by Clerics, Oracles, Shilen Oracles, and Orc Shamans of level 35 or higher)
To properly use the powers of the gods, you must first understand their nature. That learning process can be quite intense. Many have tried and failed... What is your decision? Will you accept my teachings?
- Say you will take the Trial of the Pilgrim
I will now impart to you a great truth. The people of this land have distorted and twisted the myths of their gods to suit their own financial and political ends. This is probably also true about the myths that you were taught...
I teach a method of purging your mind of all the indoctrination that has come before, and learning the secrets of the gods afresh. Would you care to learn from me?
- "I shall learn from the beginning."
All right, I'll tell you. People only care about their own interests and are all too ready to spread false myths to further their own ends. I'm sure that the myths you know are no different . . . My advice is to forget everything you've learned so far and re-learn the story of the gods all over again, from the begining. Do you think you can do it?
Wait, before you answer, take this Dimension Diamond first. You can trade it to the village gatekeeper for something special that may help you on your journey.
Now, will you answer me?
- "I would like to learn all over again."
Now listen carefully. First, venture north to the land of the Orcs and meet with Seer Tanapi. He will tell you about their god, Pa'agrio.
- Continue listening to the explanation
Next, go to the land of the Dwarves and meet with Gauri Twinklerock. Ask her how you may learn the teachings of Maphr.
- Continue listening to the explanation
After you have completed your studies of Maphr, you must return to the land of the Humans and go to the Town of Giran. Seek out Priest Primos, and he will lead you to a greater understanding of Einhasad.
- Continue listening to the explanation
Last of all, you must go to the land of the Elves. Inside the Elven Village is the Mother Tree, one of the purest forms of energy on earth. You will meet under this large and beautiful tree with Andellia, one of the protectors of the Mother Tree. She can teach you about Eva and Shilen.
Do you understand? You must meet with Seer Tanapi of the Orc Village, Gauri Twinklerock of the Dwarven Village, Father Primoz of the Town of Giran, and Andellia of the Elven Village! In that order! Discern from them their ideas on the nature of the gods... You may find this trial unsettling and shocking, but as a seeker of the truth you must endure.
Ah, there's the glimmer in your eyes! You still have far to go and much to learn about the nature of truth, but this is a start.
Accept this Mark of Pilgrim. Remember, though, this is not the end of your studies. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, I perceive, the end of the beginning. Fare you well!
Andellia9 pages
Did you bring a message from Santiago? In search of the truth, are you? Your timing could not be better.
I have a favor to ask. There is a Priestess named Uruha in the Neutral Zone. She invaded this forest with her spirits known as Black Willows. You must destroy these spirits.
The Black Willows are located near the Waterfalls in the northern part of the Neutral Zone. After destroying them, go to Uruha and warn her not to come to the Elven Forest ever again. After you do this we can discuss what you seek.
Dear pilgrim, seeker of divine truth... Were you sent by the hermit Santiago? There is a task with which I could use your assistance, but I fear that you aren't yet experienced enough to complete it. Please come back to me when you have gained more experience.
You must destroy the Black Willow that Uruha has brought. They are located near the waterfall in the northern part of the Neutral Zone.
After destroying them, go to Uruha and warn her not to come to the Elven Forest again.We will discuss God after you accomplish this.
The person responsible for this is a Dark Elf called Uruha. Find her and warn her not to come to the Elven Forest again.
How dare you bring that blasphemous book here...! Burn it now!
- Burn the Book of Darkness
- Do not burn the Book of Darkness
You will soon regret your decision! You befoul this Holy Land with your presence! Go and play with that old nag Elder Casian in the Wastelands!
Good work. Your soul has remained pure throughout your ordeal. We owe you a debt of gratitude for expelling those foul spirits from this holy forest.
About the truth of God you're looking for... It will be better to talk to Elder Casian of the Wastelands. He can be abrupt, but knows many stories of God that others do not know. He is even familiar with the knowledge known as 'vice.'
Go to the Wastelands and meet Elder Casian. You must take what he says with a grain of salt.
There are still malignant spirits about! Please expel them for us!
Petron4 pages
So you came to such a remote island to find the true religion of Einhasad...
I came here many years ago after I incurred the hatred of the High Priests. Apparently I was trying to clarify the truth too specifically. Anyway, I much prefer the liberal atmosphere here over the corrupt inner circle.
...I have so much to tell you. But first I have a favor I must ask... Please get rid of the malignant spirit Nahir coiling in the Elven Ruins. This will enhance your learning. Please, will you deal with Nahir?
I beg you! Please get rid of the malignant spirit Nahir coiling in the Elven Ruins. This will enhance your learning.
Nahir... May his poor spirit rest in peace...
Thank you. Now I will tell you Nahir's story. He was once a faithful follower of Einhasad. But while he was helping his friend who was a follower of Shilen, he incurred Einhasad's wrath and was turned into a monster. Until this day he roamed the dark underground. Are you surprised to learn that Einhasad, who is known as the Goddess of sacrifice and life, has in fact the opposite traits of jealousy and destruction? Of course the High Priests only care to mention the side of sacrifice and life...
Such is the nature of the truth you seek. It's a bitter truth, isn't it? But that is not the end of the story. I am sure you seek the truth about Eva as well? In that case you should go and see Andellia of the Elven Village.
Your journey toward the truth has only just begun. You must visit Andellia of the Elven Village and hear what she knows about Eva. May Einhasad protect you on your way...
Ancestor Martankus4 pages
I am Martankus of the Hestui tribe! Although my body perished in battle thousands of years ago, my spirit watches over my descendants.
This place is a sacred tomb housing the remains of the greatest heroes of the seven tribes. Young Orcs still come here to test their courage, strength and skill!
You come seeking the true essence of Pa'agrio? Words alone fall far short. For true enlightenment, you must seek and return with the Essence of Flame. Obtain it from the Lava Salamanders of the Forgotten Temple, located in lands far, far to the west.
The true essence of Pa'agrio cannot be explained by words alone! To properly understand it, you must obtain the Flame of Essence! If you dare, seek out the Lava Salamanders of the Forgotten Temple, located in lands far, far to the west.
I see that you have brought the Essence of Flame!
Now, to understand Pa'agrio's Flame you must swallow the Essence of Flame!
- Swallow the Essence of Flame
So hot! So hot! My body feels as if it will burst into flame. Aieee!
Wait... what's this? The Flame of Combative Spirit? Truly, this is the mind possessed by the warriors of old. ..
What is that, there in the distance? What do my old eyes perceive? Oh! Oh! Stay away! The heat, the heat! Ah! Ah, I see... Is this the Flame of Destruction, which engulfs everything in its path and leaves only black ashes?
Is this the end? ...
No, there is something more! I see a small flame burning bright in the ash. It is the one — the most sacred flame of all! It is the Flame of Life, the vital energy that moves the whole world...
(O insignificant creature, would you venture to see and hear more of my mind's thoughts? You cannot! Your frail mortal frame cannot bear more of this inferno! Farewell!)
Gerald4 pages
You have come to the right place! Maphr is my specialty! 6 years in the seminary, and 10 years of self-guided research after that... I feel that I have learned practically all there is to know about Maphr. I could use additional funds to further my research... Would you consider making a small donation? I will teach you everything I know about Maphr for a mere 100,000 Adena. What a deal, er, I mean, blessing it is!
- Donate 100,000 Adena.
- Do not make a donation.
What a generous donation! Maphr will surely be pleased, and the world will be a better place thanks to you. What a wonderful investment, er, I mean, offering!
Here is a book I wrote regarding the will of Maphr. Study it diligently! May the grace of Maphr be with you!
I suppose I was wrong about you... I had no idea you were a beggar... Now, on your way! Shoo!
Oh my, I didn't notice your badge! I, I just... That is... Eh, just a joke... I, I mean, I was going to keep it safe for you and return it with interest. Well I must be going!
Tanapi3 pages
Santiago... I am very weary of being sent these amateurs! Why would a person of my stature be required to deal with such greenhorns! Oh, well! I guess I have no choice...
If you truly wish to understand the God of Flame then you must visit the ancestors' altar in the Cave of Trials and ask Ancestor Martankus. If you are sincere, he will respond to you.
Shouldn't you be on you way to the ancestors' altar in the Cave of Trials? You must go there and pray to Ancestor Martankus.
What, are you afraid now? If that's the case I wouldn't blame you. Just go back and tell Santiago that you are too scared to complete the task...
That is quite a surprise! You say that you felt the flames of Pa'agrio? Amazing!
To tell you the truth, I wasn't very hopeful when I sent you to the Cave of Trials. These days, success seems rare from one so young as you... I shall remember this.
So you want to learn about Maphr? You should go and see Gauri Twinklerock of the Dwarven Village! I hope that you will find the light of truth at the end of your journey! Tejakar Pa'agrio!
Dorf3 pages
Maphr, the goddess of abundance and prosperity?! Foolish cattle, they don't know anything! Just look at the silly Dwarves in this town. They are mentally unbalanced, always dashing here and there to collect some more money. They are simply ridiculous! Miserable creatures who would even rip out their goddess' heart if it were worth money! And they don't hesitate to unearth things that should not be part of this world!
Maphr is indeed the goddess of abundance and prosperity, but that also means that she is responsible for all poverty and downfalls! Why can't you see this simple fact? They have already experienced bankruptcy once before... Tsk tsk...
Take this badge and take heed. Prosperity and poverty are just like the two sides of one coin!

By the way, what is that book you are holding? You bought it from Gerald? You fool! You have been deceived by him! Show him this badge. You might be able to get your money back.
I have said everything that I intend to say. Now leave here and go learn of your precious Einhasad. You will probably have to go and see the Priest Primos of the Town of Giran!
Uruha3 pages
Why are you wasting your time on them? They are just some miserable fellows who are confused by the ramblings of that hypocrite Einhasad. With help from Shilen and Gran Kain, they could live once more... You are not one of those silly followers of Eva, are you?
- "I only came here at the request of Andellia."
Ah ha! That arrogant and reckless follower of Eva! Are you blind? Isn't the indecisiveness of Eva obvious? She who is under the authority of our Goddess Shilen? Her followers are no different!
Take this book. I hope it will lead you to the truth, and protect you from contamination by the reckless stupidity of Eva's followers.
The malignant spirit of Shilen? The devourer of innocents? Please, leave these miserable creatures alone. They have suffered enough.
Primos2 pages
So you seek the knowledge of Einhasad? I'm afraid I can't help you. I am embarrassed by the faithful. There are many truths concealed in the shrine's interest... There is nothing I can do about it...
If you want to know about Einhasad you should go to see Priest Petron of Talking Island.
I am not worthy to teach the truth of Einhasad. If you wish to learn the truth about the tenets of light, go and meet Priest Petron of Talking Island.
Gauri Twinklerock2 pages
Ah, you wish to learn the ways of Maphr? Priest of the Earth Gerald is regarded as one of the best theologians around...
The vagabond named Dorf has been overheard saying that he knows the secret of Maphr.
You should speak with both of them...
At this time of day you will probably find Priest of the Earth Gerald near the entrance of the village counting his money. He is somewhat irritable when he is busy so don't bother him too much. Wanderer Dorf can probably be found at the opposite end of the village. You can bother him as much as you like.
Casian2 pages
Hello, my inquisitive friend. My name is Casian, known to some as 'the Sage of the Wastelands'.
The Elves and the Dark Elves that you have met have told you things that could be true or not. The nature of the gods is not known to mankind, and even they are only one small part of a very big universe... The gods each have a role to play. We cannot understand their intentions...
We shouldn't make things more difficult than they are. We must each just do the best we can and go about our daily lives...
I hope my lecture hasn't bored you. Take this book and return to Hermit Santiago. After all, this whole thing was his idea to begin with.
I will never understand the Human propensity to assign a value of right or wrong to everything, even the behavior of the gods! The worst offenders are the Priests...
There is no crime as long as we act according to our feelings, am I right? After all, we are just the gods creations... So even if there is a crime, it is the gods' fault, not ours!
Well, I've said enough. Please go back to Hermit Santiago.
