Repeating this quest[]
- A completion of this quest is not counted until you have spoken with Naja Salaheem after receiving your rewards from the battlefield and from the Imperial Whitegate. This matters mostly due to the Japanese Midnight wait between repeats of this quest.
Walkthrough[]
The quest is outlined into three main tasks.
An Imperial Summons[]
- Talk to Naja Salaheem at Aht Urhgan Whitegate (I-10) upstairs for a cut scene.
- This cutscene is lower priority than that of a Mercenary rank promotion quest and may be lower priority than that of Waking the Colossus.
- Check the Imperial Whitegate at Aht Urhgan Whitegate (L-9) for another cut scene.
- This cutscene is also pre-empted by those of Waking the Colossus.
- The quest "Unwavering Resolve" will appear in your quest log at this point.
The Talisman Key[]
Yoyoroon rejection
- Obtain and trade a Timeworn Talisman to Yoyoroon. You may optionally trade it along with a Sutlac, an Irmik Helvasi, or both. This anecdotally raises the rate of appraisal success, but this may still fail.
- Timeworn Talismans are dropped by Ephramadian Shades in Dvucca Isle. To reach them, use the Survival Guide warp to Caedarva Mire and exit to Arrapago Reef. The shades are a few dropdowns away. Alternatively, warp to Dvucca Isle Staging Point. The shades are located at (G-9/10) and in Arrapago Reef by the Cutter.
- Sutlac and Irmik Helvasi may both be purchased at the Shararat Teahouse from Yafaaf and Fayeewah, respectively. The items do not stack.
Yoyoroon success
- If Yoyoroon accepts your Timeworn Talisman then zone and return to Nashmau and talk to Yoyoroon again to get your
Talisman of the Rebel gods. - Check the Imperial Whitegate for a cutscene. You will receive Talisman key and Spatial Pressure Barometer.
Battle The Rider[]
- Enter Hazhalm Testing Grounds for a cutscene and check the Entry Gate to enter the uncapped 6-person battlefield "Unwavering Resolve". You will lose your Talisman key.
- Hazhalm Testing Grounds is most easily accessed from Caederva Home Point #1 outside of Talacca Cove, or from the west exit out of Nashmau.
- Each participant must bring a Talisman key.
- Upon failure, you must obtain a new Talisman of the Rebel gods from Yoyoroon, then check the Imperial Whitegate in Aht Urhgan Whitegate (L-9) for a new Talisman key.
- After defeating Odin Prime, you may make a request of Odin. Selecting "The release of thy knight" will allow for quest progression. Afterwards, you will be given a choice of rewards.
- Selecting any of the other options leads to a lengthy speech from Odin, but will not cause quest progression.
- Odin's dialogue will change after each "release" request.
- Only the most recent dialogue, and whichever other requests you have made, will show up at the Goblin Footprint. After full completion, only the 10th, 11th, and other requests will be available. However, the "other requests" will show a very truncated version of Odin's speech, not the full speech given when you actually do the quest.
- Selecting any of the other options leads to a lengthy speech from Odin, but will not cause quest progression.
- Check the Imperial Whitegate in Aht Urhgan Whitegate (L-9).
- Talk to Naja Salaheem to complete the quest. You will receive an Imperial Gold Piece.
- After completing this quest and selecting "The releast of thy knight" for the 11th time, you will receive the title "Sworn to the Dark Divinity" and unlock A Stygian Pact at the way to repeat this process.
The Battlefield[]
- Buffs and TP are retained on entry.
- Odin Prime will periodically summon an Odin Image, up to three in total.
- Below 50%, Odin Prime may begin a countdown starting at 10. At 0, he will use Zantetsuken (ability), inflicting Death on all targets within a 30' radius of his current target. This can be avoided by using /heal, or by running out of range of the target.
Game Description[]
- Client
- Nashmeira (Throne Room, Imperial Ward)
- Summary
- Ghatsad aims to seal the distortion that is the Dark Rider's portal into this world. You must procure another key and return to Hazhalm to collect the data he seeks. Meanwhile, Ovjang and Mnejing would ask of you a favor of their own...
