Part 1: Crumbs of Sobbing Starlight

1. Read the Announcement on a notice board in one of the cities. All the announcements are the same, so it is only necessary to read one.

2. Enter a Prontera building prontera 263275 and talk to Archeologist Metz prt_in 22745 about the announcement. Speak to him again and agree to help him. He mentions Arian, who first tests you for your competency.

Thesign-Metz.png

3. Go inside a Morroc building morocc 283173 and talk to the rogue Arian morocc_in 115154 for the first test. He wants several items in a specific order.

Bring only the items he asks for each time, i.e. not 100 Fluff and 50 Poison Spore at the same time. Otherwise, he will take all the quest items and you'll need to recollect:

Thesign-Arian.png

Tip: Have a friend mail the items to you one set at a time for quicker back and forth.

4. After Arian has all the items he requested, speak to the Young Man, Gaanan, morocc_in 114162 above him. Gaanan will ask 5 questions, to which the answers are:

Thesign-Gaanan.png
  • 1. Stranded on an island: Fourth option
  • 2. Stuck in a collapsed building: Fourth option
  • 3. Lost in a dungeon: Third option
  • 4. A murder is committed: First option
  • 5. The world is going to end: Fourth option (save the world)

After answering correctly, talk to Arian to be rewarded with a 7177.png 1 Crumb of Sobbing Starlight and 18,000 Base EXP (40,500 if VIP). Now, journey to Payon to find Daewoon for the second test.

5. Go inside a Payon building payon 130204 and talk to Daewoon, three rooms southwest of the entrance payon_in03 1131. Select any option to "Do you have any idea what that jewel you're holding actually is?" and begin his test. You will receive different EXP based on your response here. Whether you succeed or not will depend on how much your answers appeal to him. You can use the below choices to pass the test:

Thesign-Daewoon.png
  • 1. I think I do.
  • 2. Actually, I don't know. Heheh.
  • 3. I look forward to the journeys.
  • 4. I have.
  • 5. I can't stand that!
  • 6. I can't destroy that.
  • 7. Help him.
  • 8. Yes.

You can take the test again if you failed. If you succeed, Daewoon will then give you a 7177.png 1 Crumb of Sobbing Starlight and 18,000 Base EXP (40,500 if VIP), bringing the total to two.

6. Enter the lower right of and enter an Aldebaran building aldebaran 22356 to find Jornim aldeba_in 155101. He asks for the following items after he fails his experiment:

  • Note: While Jornim can only be spoken to start his portion at any time you need to return to him prior to 10pm (Pacific Time) that day. If this time is missed, continue again tomorrow.
Thesign-Sir-Jore.png

7. (OPTIONAL) After collecting the items, Jornim requires information about the Stone of Sage from two famous alchemists. Talk to Pirupiru aldeba_in 156118, just north from Jornim). Select "About the vanished father and daughter" and she will reveal the location of the two alchemists at the South forest.

Thesign-Piru Piru.png

8. First, find the daughter, Pleur, on the second floor of the Hidden Temple prt_maze02 57151. The navigation arrows will lead you through the maze to Pleur.

Thesign-Pleur.png

Once near her, one of two things will happen:

  • You will be teleported out of bounds on the same map. Head north to catch up with both the father and daughter alchemists on the same map, thus completing this portion of the quest. Note that heading south first will reset your progress and you will have to find Pleur again.
  • You will become "lost" and be teleported to either (prt_maze01) or (prt_maze03).
    • Upon becoming lost, you will have to go through the maze to find Pleur again. Use the navigation arrows (prt_maze02 57151) to be guided back to her once more. You will need to keep doing this until you are teleported "out of bounds" on the same map.

Tip: It is possible to use Teleport level 1 or Fly Wings to get to the spot where the father and daughter alchemists are. It may take a while, but can potentially be less stressful than getting "lost".

9. Once caught up with them prt_maze02 14183 & prt_maze02 16183, talk to Gordon. He will summon monsters that must first be killed. Speak to him again and select the first option: Stone of Sage. He will then teleport you back outside to the beginning of the maze, one map south of Aldebaran.

Thesign-Gordon.png

10. Tell Jornim aldeba_in 155101 what was discovered about the Stone of Sage from Gordon. When he asks what the Stone of Sage is, enter the response Red Gemstone. He'll hand over the third 7177.png 1 Crumb of Sobbing Starlight and mentions Jesqurienne in Geffen.

11. Inside the top right Geffen building geffen 168170 is Jesqurienne geffen_in 5974. Tell her Yes, I have! and then Don't get cocky. to accept her challenge.

  • Note: When a "Hide" spot is seen at the dancing test room, move to it to "Unhide" the spot, indicating a dance move was performed correctly.
  • Note: The last part is tricky: sometimes it's the center sometimes it's down, even if it says center. Be sure to check the "Hide" spot for the last part.

16. After the dance examiner states the test was passed, exit to your left and speak to Dearles cmd_in02 8851 for the fifth 7177.png 1 Crumb of Sobbing Starlight item and 16,830 EXP (38,250 if VIP). 17.

  • Note: The higher quality the anvil, the higher chance it'll succeed. Emperium Anvil is the best, but your anvil will not be returned once you give it to him.

After you pass over the items he needs, he'll ask you send the a letter to his Wife while waiting for him to complete the forging.

5. Go back to Geffen and pass the letter to his Wife, Brenda. Before you leave make sure to talk to the Cute Girl, Liana for a reward.

Thesign-Engel.png

7. When you tell Metz the good news, he's very happy you repaired the Sobbing Starlight. Unfortunately, he can't read the ancient words inside of it, so he sends you to the Magician, Dhota in Geffen.

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.

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.

5. Listen carefully to the locations he mentions. The locations are random for each person and there are 4 locations you need to go out of a total of 8. Follow the sequence he mentions.

Gl 02spots.jpg

Number Description Cordinates
1 big 10 o'clock gl_dun0243251
2 small 11 o'clock gl_dun02123230
3 big 1 o'clock gl_dun02263267
4 very small 11 o'clock gl_dun02118183
5 big 4 o'clock gl_dun0227397
6 small 6 o'clock gl_dun0213872
7 big 7 o'clock gl_dun021927
8 big 5 o'clock gl_dun0226833

The locations he mentions are in The Lowest Cave of Glast Heim (gl_dun02). Bring a level 4 weapon from before the 10.1 update. Click here for a list of pre 10.1 level 4 weapons. Keep the weapon in your inventory (not equipped).

6. Once there, click on the Mysterious Environment and it'll pop up with 3 types of message.

  • i. The mysterious energy flows out. However, the environment seems to be creepier.
    • Wrong sequence. Find another spot.
  • With the weapon you have currently, it's impossible to break the seal.
    • Wrong weapon.
  • It shakes but there isn't any further response. Maybe it needs a greater impact to be activated.
    • Keep clicking the Mysterious Environment.
  • Perhaps you need something more powerful. (while having a pre-10.1 update level 4 weapon in your inventory NOT equipped)
    • Keep clicking the Mysterious Environment.

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 Nifflheim and talk to Depressing Man, Gen.

8. Gen will identify himself as a servant to his master, Lady Hell. His master is looking for the Spiritual Whispers and he'll 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 (and 3 Brigan if playing RO:T Poring Server), 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 (requires defeating more monsters, but can bring friends to help)

B. Pleasant-Featured Lady, Serin (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. Do not let the extra partners lose any of the Witch's Medal, they will need to be returned.

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.

  • In RO:T Poring server, you will just be sent straight to Serin.
  • 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.

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. There is a 10 minute time limit on this battle. Every time you are kicked from the room due to a loss or a time out, there is a chance that you will fail the quest.

5. If you fail, the Nifflheim NPCs will no longer talk to you.

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. There is a 10 minute time limit on this battle. Every time you are kicked from the room due to a loss or a time out, there is a chance that you will fail the quest.

  • 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!
  • You can spread out and defeat the monsters individually, not all at once.

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 and she's happy you stopped Serin. You'll get 500,000 (113 GX received 1,125,000 Base EXP; VIP) 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 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 (1,125,000 VIP; 113 GX) if you return her ring to her (if you took the path that gave it). This must be done before talking to Lady Hell, otherwise Serin will tell you "....." and /sob or /... "..."

  • You will still be unable to return her ring if you help someone during the quest using Witch's Medal.
  • Note: You can re-enter Kirkena room by using the picture near the stairs portal.

3. Talk to Depressing Man, Gen to enter to Lady Hell room. When you meet Lady Hell, she won't have much to say to you.

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

5. Go back to Prontera and pass The Sign to Metz. 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.

  • Metz takes some time to study The Sign. Come back after 1 hour.
  • On Transcendence, take note of the time you turned in the quest and use this chart to determine what time you will be able to pick up the sign. This time will be the *only* time of day available for pick up every day. If you miss the window of opportunity one day, the same time period will be available the next day. Be careful of what time you turn it in so that it isn't available at a time you won't be able to go back to pick it up.

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

  • Engel takes some time to fix 2644.png The Sign (into an equippable accessory). Come back after 1 hour.
  • Transcendence use the same image for Metz to determine the pickup window.

7. Bring The Sign back to Metz. After he finds out the truth of The Sign, his wish is fulfilled. He will then give you 2,000,000 base EXP (114 GX received 4,500,000 Base EXP - VIP).

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 is storagable, which means you may use it on any character.)

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, level (even if have not complete the quest) may enter it. Be warned however that this map has strong monsters.

Failing the Quest

If you fail the quest, you have the following options:

  • Submit a support ticket to the server you play on. They may be able to reset the quest or rollback your progress. However, this may take a long time.
    • Some players get responses that there is nothing the GM can do. If that's the case, try contacting another mod or community mod.
  • Do the quest on another character. Remember all your characters will have access to Lucifer's Lament.
  • Delete your character and start all over.
