You would be prompt to enter a spell, select the following options: Klaatu, Verata and Nictu (hidden 4th option). It takes a few tries of inputting this spell until his curse is finally broken.

3. When the curse is successfully broken, the 7304.png Witch's Spell Scroll will be received.

4. Go near Anne and she'll ask for help to go back. Choose "What can I do?" and then go find the Witch at the Witch Tower.

DO NOT CLICK ON, but go stand next to the Witch, Kirkena nif_in 188168 (if you click on her you will be teleported back to Umbala) so she begins talking. (If she is clicked on, you can wait until the dialogue time-outs, about 60 seconds. The Next button will change to Close and you may try again.) Give her the Witch's Spell Book and choose "There's a lost child here I want to help."

Thesign-Kirkenna.png

She'll hand over a 7309.png Crow Wing. 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, 2642.png Serin's Gold Ring as reward. Talk to Serin again and she'll ask you to find Greyryu the Poet.

  • Don't equip 2642.png Serin's Gold Ring during the quest, or it'll be confiscated by certain NPCs!

Thesign-Depressing-Man.png

Part 4b: "Why Should I Help Them?"

1. Once you choose "Why should I help them?,", talk to Serin again, then find a Depressing Man, Gen niflheim 146241 just West of the building you entered. Talk to him and you find out he was the chosen one once, but failed, and he cautions you. He advises you to find the Witch for help.

2. Go to the highest building in Nifflheim to speak to the witch by walking to the left side of the piano nif_in112182. There will be a pop-up and you should be warped to a small room with the Witch in the center. If the warp doesn't happen, run by the left side of the piano again until it does. Go near the Witch but do not speak to her! If you do, she'll teleport you to Umbala. Walk up to her and she'll initiate a conversation with you first. She'll ask you to find her Witch's Spell Book.


3. Go near the Cursed Spirit, Ash Bruce niflheim 350258. He senses your strength, select the pull and read the 3rd book. You would be prompt to enter a spell, select the following options: Klaatu, Verata and Nictu (hidden 4th option).

3. Now go back to the Giant Telescope in West Geffen Field gef_fild07 182241 to teleport to Valkyrie Temple (no ingredients are needed this time). 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 Niflheim to find more clues. You find a Mad Man, Laichin niflheim 10254 and he seems to have information you need for the quest! But he needs you to pay him twice, 40,000z and 20,000z.

5. Once you've paid the fee, listen carefully to the locations he mentions. The locations are random for each person and there are 4 locations you need to attend out of a total of 8, and the order that Laichin specifies matters. The locations he mentions are in The Lowest Cave of Glast Heim (gl_dun02). Bring a level 4 weapon and keep the weapon in your inventory (not equipped).

If you forgot the locations you can simply talk to him again and he'll repeat it. Don't forget the order matters!

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 7307.png Spiritual Whispers. Go back to Niflheim and talk to Depressing Man, Gen niflheim146241.

8. Gen will identify as a servant to his master, the Queen of the Dead. His master is looking for the Spiritual Whispers, agree for him to 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 1 Empty Bottle, you'll exchange for a 12020.png 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 nif_in139176 (requires defeating more monsters, but can bring friends to help)

B. Pleasant-Featured Lady, Serin niflheim31370 (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 7308.png Witch's Tonic and 5 7313.png 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.

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.

  • If you are helping someone with the quest, two options will appear. Pick the one that goes directly to Serin.

2. You'll find Serin at the Unknown Area. Talk to her and chose "Stop her."

  • If you select the option to change your mind and not stop her, you will fail this quest.

3. Serin will summon monsters to attack you. Try not to stand near her when you talk to her.

You'll need to defeat these monsters:

  • Be aware that the Dark Illusion's damage display appears late, which registers hits early. Be cautious!
  • You can spread out if you wish and defeat the monsters individually, not all at once.
  • 10 minute timer to complete the challenge.
  • If you die, you can retry once the instance closes, so if you were 5 minutes into the fight, you'll have to wait another 5 minutes to for it to close.

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.

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.

  • If you select the option to change your mind and not stop her, you will fail this quest.
  • Be aware that the Dark Illusion's damage display appears late, which registers hits early. Be cautious!
  • 10 minute timer to complete the challenge.

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.

Part 7: The Sign

1. Talk to Kirkena nif_in139176, and she's happy you stopped Serin. You'll get 500,000 experience points as a reward. And she asks you to talk to Lady Hell once more. (if you took the witch path above, you need to have all 5 Witch's Medal in your inventory)

2. (If you did 4a and 6a, optional, but it needs to be done immediately if you choose to do so.) Go back to Serin (in Niflheim), and she will give you 500,000 base exp if you return her ring to her (if you took the path that gave it). This must be done before talking to the Queen of the Dead. Otherwise, Serin will tell you "....." and /sob or /... "..."

  • You can still not return her ring if you help someone during the quest using Witch's Medal.
  • Note: You can re-enter Kirkena's room by using the picture near the stairs portal.

3. Talk to Depressing Man, Gen niflheim146241 to enter the Queen of the Dead's room. When you meet her, she won't have much to say.

4. Next, go to the Valkyrie Temple and talk to Sandra. She's happy you completed the quest and proved your courage to God. She'll give you The Sign as proof that you are God's Chosen One. You can enter Valhalla with 7314.png The Sign.

5. Go back to Prontera and pass The Sign to Metz prt_in22745. He's pretty excited when you pass The Sign to him, and he is glad you completed the quest. He'll start to study The Sign.

6. Talk to Metz again. After taking The Sign, Metz asks you to bring it to Engel Howard mjo_dun02 88295 to fix it. Talk to Engel again to get The Sign.

7. Bring The Sign back to Metz prt_in22745. After he finds out the truth about The Sign, his wish is fulfilled. He will then give you 2,000,000 base EXP.

8. Bring The Sign and Sobbing Starlight to Gen niflheim 146241. Gen will warp you to his Master's room. Meet Lady Hell and pass the Sobbing Starlight to her. Then sit back and watch the fireworks display! After the fancy display, Lady Hell will give you 7025.png Lucifer's Lament. (Lucifer's Lament can be stored, which means you may use it on any character, but not Guild Storage.)

9. Go to the Geffen Fountain and click on it to enter Geffenia. The portal will open temporarily North of the Fountain, and anyone, regardless of class or level (even if they have not completed the quest), may enter it. Be warned, however, that this map has strong monsters.

Failing the Quest

It is not possible to fail this quest due to the changes made for the Alfheim server. Make sure that you've done the required quest steps and that you haven't missed any.
