-
The boy with the books: You need base level 60 and about 2,000 weight free. In east Prontera (prontera, 248,212) a busy boy hauls heavy books and dreads the Juno airship. Bump into him or speak to him, help him stack the books, then choose 'Help him' to take his Pile of Books to Juno. If you walk away first, or pick 'Don't help him', just talk to him again to take the books. Below base level 60 he does not start the quest.
Busy Boy: -
Books for Karlomoff: Bring the Pile of Books to the historian Karlomoff beside the Juno library (yuno, 311,195). Choose 'Right, I brought your books.' Lost the books? Tell the librarian in the Prontera library (prt_in, 162,99) and pay the 700 Zeny fine for a replacement pile. Without the books Karlomoff only complains.
Historian: -
Karlomoff's story: Talk to Karlomoff again and ask both questions he offers. He hums an old song in four lines, which you will need: 'The great serpent swallowed the sea.', 'The eagle of the rainbow swallowed the serpent.', 'Then the eagle built its nest.' and 'A nest upon the swallowed sea.' Even after he gives you the report, he sings the song again if you pick 'Can I listen to that song again?'.
-
Karlomoff's report: Talk to Karlomoff once more. He hands you a File Folder, his report for Rodafrian in Morocc. Even after he gives you the report, he sings the song again if you pick 'Can I listen to that song again?'.
-
Rodafrian and the song: Give Karlomoff's report to Rodafrian (morocc_in, 45,126) by saying he sent you. When she asks about the song, any answer works; the line she cannot remember is 'Then the eagle built its nest.' Give your name when she asks. A wrong lyric only costs one more visit: next time she simply asks for your name. The quest goes on either way.
Historian: -
Give Rodafrian your name: Talk to Rodafrian again and answer her question with your name. She then sends you to her colleague Mondo. A wrong lyric only costs one more visit: next time she simply asks for your name. The quest goes on either way.
-
Mondo's song: Find Mondo in the ruins of Mount Mjolnir (mjolnir_01, 135,168). Ask for the lyrics, pick 'Excuse me...' and say you heard another version. Type Karlomoff's lines one at a time, exactly as written: 'The great serpent swallowed the sea.', 'The eagle of the rainbow swallowed the serpent.', 'Then the eagle built its nest.' and 'A nest upon the swallowed sea.' Mondo's own version ends 'Then snake scales grew on the eagle, and it slowly died.'
Historian: -
Mondo: try the song again: Your lines did not match. Talk to Mondo and type Karlomoff's four lines exactly, one per prompt, with capitals and the full stop: 'The great serpent swallowed the sea.', 'The eagle of the rainbow swallowed the serpent.', 'Then the eagle built its nest.' and 'A nest upon the swallowed sea.' Mondo's own version ends 'Then snake scales grew on the eagle, and it slowly died.'
-
Mondo's hint: Talk to Mondo once more. He learned his version from a small child who sings by the river nearby, and tells you to look for the child. Mondo's own version ends 'Then snake scales grew on the eagle, and it slowly died.'
-
The singing boy: Follow the river on Mount Mjolnir (mjolnir_01, from 298,302 down to 313,269); the markers on the way whisper lines of the song. Talk to the boy Kaanu (313,269) and ask what he sang. The mother is Bonnie Imbullea, a priestess in quiet exile. Both the boy and his mother move the quest on.
Dazed Boy: -
The mother's request: Talk to the boy's mother (mjolnir_01, 316,268). Ask about the song and the 'accident'. She gives you a Leather Pouch of herbs for Father Bamph in Prontera. The mother is Bonnie Imbullea, a priestess in quiet exile. Both the boy and his mother move the quest on.
Exhausted-Looking Woman: -
The herb pouch: Give the Leather Pouch to Father Bamph (prt_church, 185,106); Father Biscuss stands with him. Ask about Bonnie Imbullea. He asks you never to spread this secret.
Father Bamph: -
The royal secret: Talk to Father Bamph again. He tells you about Jormungand and the curse on the first-born prince of the royal family. Keep it to yourself. He asks you never to spread this secret.
-
The two versions of the song: Talk to Father Bamph once more and tell him the snake-scale version of the song. He asks you to go back to Bonnie and ask what she knows. He asks you never to spread this secret.
-
Bonnie's memory: Go back to Bonnie Imbullea (mjolnir_01, 316,268) and tell her Father Bamph sent you. She recalls that a maid found a fragment of a Red Gemstone in the ceremonial grounds after the exorcism.
-
A trace of sabotage: Report to Father Bamph. He suspects the exorcism was sabotaged and tells you to use the hidden switch in the bookshelf of the priests' room (prt_church, 177,113) to reach the secret ceremonial grounds, where he will wait.
-
Into the secret grounds: Click the hidden switch in the bookshelf of the priests' room (prt_church, 177,113) and talk to Father Bamph in the grounds (prt_church, 16,114). He points to the bodies of the three princes. The hidden switch works only while this part of the quest is open.
- The first prince: Examine the body on the far left (prt_church, 19,111): a dark mark like serpent scales. The hidden switch works only while this part of the quest is open.
- The second prince: Examine the body in the middle (prt_church, 21,111). Its marks are fainter than the first; tell Father Bamph. The hidden switch works only while this part of the quest is open.
- The third prince: Examine the body on the right (prt_church, 24,111). When Father Bamph asks what could kill them, choose 'Poison!' ('A weapon!' only repeats the question). The hidden switch works only while this part of the quest is open.
-
Back upstairs: Ask Father Biscuss in the grounds (prt_church, 23,89) to lead you up, then talk to Father Bamph (185,106). He asks you to visit the Assassin Guild in Morocc and learn how to test for poison.
-
The Assassin Guild: Find the Assassin Guildsman at the Morocc field (moc_fild16, 201,295) and choose 'Poison'. He points you to the Assassins' private pub in the south-west of Morocc, where Marjana waits.
- Marjana and the test: Enter the Assassins' private pub by the door at morocc, 45,110, step on the room portal beside Tao (que_job01, 51,55) and talk to Marjana in the room (que_job01, 10,16). She has little time: mix a Yellow Gemstone with a Green Potion and pour it on the bodies. Assassins and Assassin Cross walk in. Everyone else gets in only when the doorman offers a way for 1,000 Zeny, one try in three; failing sends you back to the street. You have 4 minutes in the room, then you are put out and may enter again.
- Which way now?: Leave the pub through its exit door and you come out at morocc, 45,103. You think the facts over and choose: go to Rodafrian first, or to Father Bamph first. Both ways end the quest. Telling Rodafrian the secret is allowed but the priests would rather you did not.
-
Rodafrian: the real lyrics: Go to Rodafrian (morocc_in, 45,126) and recite the true lyrics: 'Then snake scales grew on the eagle, and it slowly died.' Then choose whether to tell her about Jormungand's curse. Telling Rodafrian the secret changes only who thanks you at the end and whether Bonnie needs a visit.
-
Father Bamph: the test method: Tell Father Bamph (prt_church, 185,106) what Marjana taught you. Telling Rodafrian the secret changes only who thanks you at the end and whether Bonnie needs a visit.
-
Bring the materials: Tell Father Bamph (prt_church, 185,106) what you learned from the Assassin Guild. He asks for 1 Yellow Gemstone and 1 Green Potion at the secret grounds.
-
The poison test: Bring 1 Yellow Gemstone and 1 Green Potion to the secret grounds (via the hidden switch, prt_church, 177,113). Use them on the third prince's body (24,111): the scale marks fade away. After the test the second prince reacts the same way.
-
What the test showed: Talk to Father Bamph in the grounds (prt_church, 16,114). He is shaken: poison killed the second and third princes. He leads you upstairs.
-
Father Bamph's thanks: Go up to Father Bamph (prt_church, 185,106). He thanks you, asks for your silence and discusses what to tell the royal family. Reward: Base EXP 90,000 (if you told Rodafrian the secret first, Father Biscuss gives it in the next step).
-
Father Biscuss's thanks: Speak to Father Biscuss in the priests' room (prt_church, 184,110). He thanks you for the church and gives you your EXP. The quest ends here. If you told Rodafrian the secret, speak to Biscuss before Bonnie: only his thanks carries the EXP. Once the quest ends, an agent on the airship deck tells you Father Bamph wants to see you: that begins the Nameless Island quest.
-
Good news for Bonnie: Tell Bonnie Imbullea (mjolnir_01, 316,268) that the princes' deaths were not her fault. She is free of her guilt. If you told Rodafrian the secret, speak to Biscuss before Bonnie: only his thanks carries the EXP. Once the quest ends, an agent on the airship deck tells you Father Bamph wants to see you: that begins the Nameless Island quest.
-
Rodafrian again: Go back to Rodafrian (morocc_in, 45,126), recite 'Then snake scales grew on the eagle, and it slowly died.' and decide whether to tell her about the curse. If you keep silent, the quest ends with her thanks.
-
The land to the west: Visit Father Bamph (prt_church, 185,106) and tell him about the herbs of the land to the west. Father Biscuss suspects its people. The quest ends. Once the quest ends, an agent on the airship deck tells you Father Bamph wants to see you: that begins the Nameless Island quest.
