Walkthrough
- You must zone and wait until the next game day after completing Light in the Darkness.
- Talk to Gentle Tiger (S) at the entrance to Metalworks (H-6).
- Talk to Engelhart at the entrance to the Music Shop in Bastok Markets (S) (K-10).
- Examine the Sarcophagus in the northern room of (I-7) in The Eldieme Necropolis (S) on map 3 for a cutscene.
- To get to this area, you must drop in the middle pit in the southern room at (G-9) on map 1.
- The path to (G-9) will no longer be obstructed by closed doors as of the Nov. 2009 update.
- The room is full of Orcs (sight aggro, 3x DC & 1x EP at level 75). About 8 additional Orcs nearby can link with those in the Sarcophagus room, so caution is advised. Sleepga or kill the Orcs before checking the Sarcophagus. Or as a BST, pop a CC and put on all the Orcs; the battle will freeze while you're in the CS, then just invis up and zone.
- The cutscene is moderately long (~5 min). Sleepga the Orcs or zone once the cutscene is done.
- With a little luck, it is very possible to cast Warp and make it out of the area with no aggro after the cutscene, or even survive the aggro long enough to warp away.
- It is possible to get Allied tags and head to the cutscene. After it is over and you die, you will get no experience loss due to having Campaign battle status.
- With equipment that enhances movement speed, it is possible to outrun the Orcs to exit the zone.
- Movement speed not needed at all for a RDM with Stoneskin/Phalanx up. I made it to the zone, after aggroing every orc on the way, with Stoneskin still intact.
- Talk to Gentle Tiger (S) at the entrance to Metalworks (H-6) to complete the quest and obtain the title Assistant Detective.
- Talk to Blatherix at (F-8) in Bastok Markets (S) to obtain an Elixir.
- IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE FLAGGING THESE QUESTS, go back and make sure that you finished the last cutscene where you zone from one of the maws in Rolanberry Fields (S), Batallia Downs (S), or Sauromugue Champaign (S). If Back to the Beginning is still showing in your mission list, you may have missed that last cutscene. It is possible to do some of these quests prior to actually finishing Back to the Beginning, and will result in you not being able to flag your desired quests.
