Walkthrough

  • Head to Xarcabard (S).
    • Near the entrance is an Animal Spoor J-9 , examine that to start the quest.
  • Examine the Wheel Rut in the alcove in the southern portion of (I-9) for the next scene.
  • Head back to the Animal Spoor for yet another cutscene.
  • After the Cutscene, head north to the Forbidding Portal near the top left corner of I-7, examine once for a cutscene, examine it again to enter.
  • The BCNM is against Kingslayer Doggvdegg (Paladin) along with his pet Gherrmoga, 4 Bloodwing Maimer (Warrior), and 2 Bloodwing Deathrainer (Black Mage). All orcs must be defeated for victory (when you kill the pld, all other orcs are defeated in same time).
    • Only Party Members currently on this fight or past it can enter.
    • Time limit is 30 mins.
    • Experience is not lost if you die.
    • Buffs do not wear upon entry but TP does. Afflatus Solace also wears.
    • Excenmille fights alongside of you and must be kept alive in order to succeed. He CAN be buffed.
      • Uses several AoE weaponskills, making sleepga strategy difficult.
      • Occasionally sounds his horn and says, "I beseech you, Machegue! Be with us now!" which grants Attack Boost to all party members within range.
      • Can also use an item called "Vunkerl Herb Tonic", which erases and regens everyone within range.
    • Doggvdegg and Gherrmoga seem to be immune to sleep, Elemental Seal + Sleepga from an RDM did not hit. The other orcs were slept without difficulty.
    • The mages use Sleepga often, poison potions are recommended, if you don't sleep them.
    • Kingslayer Doggvdegg uses Invincible, as well as TP moves including Tornado Edge and Berserker Dance, and a potent version of Arm Block which should be dispelled. Specifically, his Arm Block appears to give him a Stoneskin effect in addition to the typical defense increase.
  • Upon victory, return to the Wheel Rut to receive a cutscene and your reward.
    • If you fail the fight you will have to pick up another key item at the Animal Spoor. You can only get one per game day.
