Part 1: Crumbs of Sobbing Starlight
1. Read the Announcement on a notice board in one of the cities. All the announcements are the same, so it is only necessary to read one.
- Alberta: (35 241)
- Morroc: (168 265)
- Payon: (160 183)
- Prontera: (147 305)
- Geffen: (168 175)
- Al De Baran: (54 223)
2. Enter a Prontera building (263/275) and talk to the Archeologist Metz (prt_in 227, 45) about the announcement. Speak to him again and agree to help him. He mentions Arian, who first tests you for your competency.
3. Go inside a Morroc building (283/173) and talk to the rogue Arian (morocc_in 115, 154) for the first test. He desires the following sets of items (bring only the set he asks for each time and NO other sets, i.e. not 100 Fluff and 50 Poison Spore at the same time. Otherwise, he will take all the quest items and you'll need to recollect):
- 100 Fluff
- 7033.png 50 Poison Spore
- 904.png 30 Scorpion Tail
- 930.png 20 Rotten Bandage
- 1038.png 15 Little Evil Horn
- 7013.png 10 Coral Reef
- Tip: Bring everything and drop it on the ground to avoid 600 trips to storage.
4. After Arian has all the items he wanted, speak to the Young Man, Gaanan (morocc_in 114, 162) above him. Gaanan will asks 5 questions, to which the answers are:
- 1. Stranded on an island: Fourth option
- 2. Stuck in a collapsed building: Fourth option
- 3. Lost in a dungeon: Third option
- 4. A murder is commited: First option
- 5. The world is going to end: Fourth option (save the world)
After answering correctly, talk to Arian to be rewarded with a 1 Crumb of Sobbing Starlight and 18,000 Base EXP. Now journey to Payon to find Daewoon for the second test.
- 111 GX received 40,500 Base EXP (VIP)
5. Go inside a Payon building (130/204) and talk to Daewoon, three rooms SOUTH WEST of the entrance (payon_in03 11, 31). Select any option to "Do you have any idea what that jewel you're holding actually is?" and begin his test. You will receive different EXP based on your response here. Whether you suceed will depend on how much your answers appeal to him. The best choices see below.
- 1. Option #1, Yes
- 2. Option #2, I hate people who do that
- 3. Option #2, I can't destroy such beauty...
- 4. Option #1, Yes, of course!
- 5. Option #1, Yes
You can take the test again if you failed. If you succeeded, Daewoon then gives you a 1 Crumb of Sobbing Starlight and 18,000 Base EXP, bringing the total to two.
- 111 GX received 40,500 Base EXP (VIP)
- Note: For question 3, the option "Close my eyes and attack/smash it" is also accepted.
6. Enter the lower right Aldebaran building (223/56) and find Sir Jore (aldeba_in 155, 101). He asks for the following items after he fails his experiment.
- Note: While Sir Jore can only be spoken to start his portion at any time you need to return to him prior to 10pm (Pacific Time) that day. If this time is missed, continue again tomorrow.
- 10 Empty Test Tube (purchasable at tool dealer in Geffen Mage academy)
- 2 Yggdrasil Leaf
- 10 Green Herb
7. After collecting the items, Sir Jore requires information about the Stone of Sage from two famous alchemists. Talk to Piru Piru (aldeba_in 156, 118), just north west from Sir Jore) and she'll reveal the location of the two alchemists: the south forest
- Note: This step is OPTIONAL, and only exists to give the player some more guidance. You can go straight to step 8.
8. First, find the daughter Pleur on the second floor of the Hidden Temple (prt_maze02 57, 151).
- If entered the maze from prt_fild01: go up, down, left, right, down, up, left, up, up, left to reach the second floor.
- If entered the maze from mjolnir_12 (suggested; one south of Aldebaran): go down, down, left, right, down, up, left, up, up, left to reach the second floor.
Once near her, one of two things will happen.
- You'll be teleported and catch up with both father and daughter alchemists on the same map, thus completing this portion of the quest.
- You'll become "lost" and be teleported to either (prt_maze01) or (prt_maze03).
Upon becoming lost, keep finding Pleur until teleported to (prt_maze02). However, finding her again from (prt_maze03) is very difficult and time consuming: it is faster to just return to a save point and come back to the maze again from either (prt_fild01) or (mjolnir_12).
- Note: It is possible to use Teleport level 1 or Fly Wings to get to the spot where the father and daughter alchemists are. It may take a while, but can potentially be less stressful than getting "lost".
9. Once caught up with them (prt_maze02 14, 183) & (prt_maze02 16, 183), talk to Gordon and select the second option about the Stone. After that expect to be teleported to one south of Aldebaran (mjolnir_12).
10. Tell Sir Jore what was discovered about the Stone of Sage from Gordon. When he asks what the Stone of Sage is, enter the response [Red Gemstone]. He'll hand over the third 1 Crumb of Sobbing Starlight and mentions Jesqurienne in Geffen.
11. Inside the top right Geffen building (168/170) is a female drinker, Jesqurienne (geffen_in 59, 74). Tell her you've heard of her, and then call her a stuck-up chick to accept her challenge.
12. Talk to her boyfriend Aaron at the same table to begin the challenge. In order to win, more or equal questions must be answered correctly than Jesqurienne. The ten multiple choice questions presented will also be chosen at random.

- Note: Any movement speed enhancing items/buffs are recommended, but not necessary.
- Note: You don't have to reach the end of the spot, just touch one of the first lines of the step to make it count. This strategy helps out to successfully finish the test.
- Note: When a "Hide" spot is seen at the dancing test room, move to it to "Unhide" the spot, indicating a dance move was performed correctly.
- Note: The last part is tricky: sometimes it's the center sometimes it's down, even if it says center. Be sure to check the "Hide" spot for the last part.
16. After the dance examiner states the test was passed, talk to Dearles for the fifth 1 Crumb of Sobbing Starlight and 16,830 EXP.

7. When you tell Metz the good news, he's very happy you repaired the Sobbing Starlight. Unfortunately, he can't read the ancient words inside of it, so he sends you to the Magician, Dhota in Geffen.

Give her the Witch's Spell Book and choose "There's a lost child here I want to help." She'll hand over a Wing Of Crow. The only way to escape from her room is to use a Butterfly Wing, Warp Portal, or click her head and be sent to the Umbala Jump Point.
6. Go near Anne and she'll thank you. Then go near the Anne again and she'll say you lied to her, and she still can't go back.
7. Go back to Kirkena for an explanation. She'll say the Wing Of Crow only can be used by living people, which means Anne is dead.
8. You did your best, so you head back and talk to Serin. Even though you can't help Alakina, she still thanks you. And as she promised, she'll give you her important item, Serin's Gold Ring as reward. Talk to Serin again and she'll ask you to find Greyryu the Poet.

3. Now go back to the Giant Telescope in West Geffen Field (gef_fild07 182, 241) to teleport to Valkyrie Temple (No need to bring any ingredients). Talk to Valkyrie, Sandra and she'll say she can't help you, but she'll give you support mentally.
4. You're on your own now. So you go back Nifflheim to find more clues. You find a Mad Man, Laichin (niflheim 102, 54) and he seems to have information you need for the quest! But he needs you to pay him twice, 40,000 Zeny and 20,000 Zeny.
5. Listen carefully to the locations he mentions. The locations are random for each person and there are 4 locations you need to go out of a total of 8. Follow the sequence he mentions.
The locations he mentions are in The Lowest Cave of Glast Heim (gl_dun02). Bring a level 4 weapon from before the 10.1 update. Click here for a list of pre 10.1 level 4 weapons. Keep the weapon in your inventory (not equipped).
6. Once there, click on the Mysterious Environment and it'll pop up with 3 types of message.
- The mysterious energy flows out. However, the environment seems to be creepier.
* Wrong sequence. Find another spot.
- With the weapon you have currently, it's impossible to break the seal.
* Wrong weapon.
- It shakes but there isn't any further response. Maybe it needs a greater impact to be activated.
* Keep clicking the Mysterious Environment.
- Perhaps you need something more powerful. (while having a pre-10.1 update level 4 weapon in your inventory NOT equipped)
* Keep clicking the Mysterious Environment.
7. You'll get a 7306.png Piece of Spirit once you break the seal. And when you break the fourth seal, you'll get the Spiritual Whispers. Go back to Nifflheim and talk to Depressing Man, Gen.
8. Gen will identify himself as a servant to his master, Lady Hell. His master is looking for the Spiritual Whispers and he'll send you to an Unknown Area where his master resides.
9. Head up to the Unknown Area. You'll pass a fountain, but don't click it yet. Curiosity killed the cat. Keep moving upward and you'll find the Queen of the Dead, Lady Hell.
10. Talk to her and she'll give you Symbol of the Nine Realms in exchange for the Whisper of Soul.
* You can click the fountain now. If you bring Empty Bottles you'll exchange for a Cursed Water each time you click the fountain.
11. Now you have two choices. Either give the Symbol of the Nine Realms to:
A. Witch, Kirkena (requires defeating more monsters, but can bring friends to help)
B. Pleasant-Featured Lady, Serin (requires defeating Incarnation of Dark Lord, aka 1 Dark Illusion, with NO help from friends)
Part 6a: Kirkena the Witch
1. If you chose the Witch, Kirkena, go find her in her room through the headstone near the stairs on the second floor. She'll ask for the Symbol of the Nine Realms and explain the reasons she needs it. If you got Serin's Gold Ring earlier, she'll take it but will return it later and you can store the ring in kafra now (before that you couldn't store it). After that she'll give you 1 Witch's Tonic and 5 Witch's Medal.
* With 5 Witch's Medal, you can bring 4 more partners in your party to assist you in defeating the quest monsters later on. You need to talk to the Witch to enter Serin's room before others can follow. In order for the others to help you fight, they will need to talk to the same gravestone that you do in order to get into the witch's room. They will need to have the seal on them. Do not let the extra partners lose any of the Witch's Medal, they will need to be returned.
Kirkena found the location of Serin. Once you're ready, Kirkena will send you to a copy of nif_fild02 with many monsters on it: Ghouls, Succubus, Wraiths, Injustices, Evil Druids, and Ancient Mummies, which do not give EXP or drop anything. You must fight your way past them to get to the portal on the other side. Enter it, and you'll be in Serin's room. If you have people helping you, they'll be sent to Serin and must talk to her to get to where you are.
2. You'll find Serin at the Unknown Area. Talk to her and chose "Stop her."

- 2 Wraith
- 5 Ghoul
4. Once you beat the monsters, Serin will reappear. She'll tell you she's happy that she met you and she'll give up her dream and live peacefully in Nifflheim. Later on she'll send you back to the Witch's room. There is a 10 minute time limit on this battle. Every time you are kicked from the room due to a loss or a time out, there is a chance that you will fail the quest.
5. If you fail, the Nifflheim NPCs will no longer talk to you.
Part 6b: Serin the Pleasant-Featured Lady
1. If you chose Pleasant-Featured Lady, Serin, go find Serin and she explains that the witch is going to summon Dark Lord which will devastate the world, instead, to pass her the Symbol of the Nine Realms to stop the witch. She'll send you directly to her room.
2. In the room listen to her reasons for using the Symbol of the Nine Realms. Serin has tricked you and she was the one who wanted to summon Dark Lord and so you must "Stop her". After talking to her, Dark Lord will appear. Talk to him and 1 Dark Illusion is summoned to attack you. There is a 10 minute time limit on this battle. Every time you are kicked from the room due to a loss or a time out, there is a chance that you will fail the quest.
3. Once you beat the Dark Illusion, Serin will reappear. She'll tell you she's happy that she met you and she'll give up her dream and live peacefully in Nifflheim. Later on she'll send you back to the Witch's room.
