Walkthrough

Talk to Balasiel (F-7) in Southern San d'Oria.
The following steps are optional. You can immediately head to Ordelle's Caves without talking to either Chanpau or Morjean and still complete the quest.
- Talk to Chanpau (E-7) in Southern San d'Oria.
- Zone into Northern San d'Oria, and talk to Morjean in the Cathedral (L-7) (Manuscript room).
  - This step cannot be completed if you are currently between the steps of speaking with Morjean and collecting the Wyvern Egg for the Dragoon flag quest The Holy Crest.
  - If Morjean will only say "Ah, good day. I am Morjean, a researcher here...", it doesn't hold up the quest.

Depending on your level, before heading out, be sure to have some sort of Sneak/Invisible to avoid aggro, and Warp or Escape for a quick out once you have the Stalactite Dew.

Travel to La Theine Plateau, enter the ravine at F-6. After passing the Equesobillot NPC, follow the left wall until you zone into Ordelle's Caves.
- There is a Survival Guide in Ordelle's Caves at the entrance.
Go west in (G-3), follow this path. You will transition to Map 1 at (G-4).
Continue down the steps until you get to the cave room at (I-5). Take the south exit from this room.
Climb the steps. You will transition to Map 2 at (H-6).
- Following are directions for one who takes the other entrance to Ordelle's Caves from La Theine Plateau at (H-7). You start at the north end of Map 1:
  - Travel to the cave room at (I-5). Take the south exit from this room.
  - Climb the steps. You will transition to Map 2 at (H-6).
Proceed to the cave room at (G-7).

NOTE: Keep Sneak up at all times! In this room, Shriekers, Hognosed Bats, and Jellies aggro by sound.

To your left, touch the ??? that rests in the pool of water.
Quickly search for the second ??? near the center of this room to receive the Key Item: Stalactite Dew. If you did not receive the key item, you have missed a step or you took too long between the ??? points.

NOTE: It is possible for a Will-o'-the-Wisp to be by the pool or the Stalactite and it will aggro by sight.

Return to Balasiel for your recognition. You can take A Knight's Test without having to zone after completing the quest if the requirement has been passed.

-''If you're below 15th level:''<br>
-'''[[Balasiel]]:''' You're a little too new at this to undertake my challenge. Train further, and return here once you feel ready.
-''Once you're 15th level or above:''<br>
-'''[[Balasiel]]:''' Ah, you've come quite a way since last we met, I see. I believe you're ready for another task! I'd like you to go to Ordelle's Caves. You'll find the entrance in a valley on La Theine Plateau. Those caves are also called the “Body Caves.” Know you why? It is because the caves are shaped much like the body of a person. You are acquainted with its structure, yes? Where in a body would lie the belly, in the caves flows a waterfall of much beauty. I want you to visit the waterfall, and return hither. I want proof of your trip, however. Bring me something out from that place. You must choose something. Come to think of it, the time I sent another to the waterfall, he, too, had quite a hard time! Heh-heh.
-'''[[Chanpau]]:''' Proof that you went to the waterfall, eh? Hah! Old man Balasiel's got you running errands now, has he? I'll tell you, but don't say a word to the old man! Stand with your back to the waterfall, and look up at the ceiling of the cave. You'll see a shining stalactite. Bring some Stalactite Dew back and you'll be a real spelunker, you will. Eh? How to get the drop? Ah...right. It's odd, but I can't seem to remember how I did it. That was a long time ago, you see. Hmm... Maybe you could try reading up on it. I'm sure it's outlined somewhere.
-===[[Northern San d'Oria]]===
-'''[[Morjean]]:''' Some Stalactite Dew? I'm not entirely certain, but perhaps I have heard a story about this thing you seek. In order to get some Stalactite Dew, your hands must not be dry... I'm sure that's what I read. But it was so many years ago... That's all I know... I do hope it will be of some use to you.
-'''[[Morjean]]:''' Did you find the dew? No, no, there's no need to thank me. It is my job to delve into the mysteries of this land, one at a time.
-===[[Southern San d'Oria]]===
-'''[[Balasiel]]:''' Ah, you're back, and in one piece! And you've brought proof of your trip to the waterfall. Well done! Here, a certificate to mark your accomplishment. Keep it always! When you've progressed further, visit me again. Next time, a thorough test of your mettle will be in order!
