[ro] nameless entrance quest -pro version-

NAMELESS ISLAND ENTRANCE QUEST
(in accordance with the current pRO version)

Legend:
Green - NPCs
Yellow - choices/answers/input
***Red - important warnings/reminders
Cyan - notes


Quest Requirements:
1. Base Level must be 80 and above
2. There are no item requirements
3. Zenny requirement is 3,000.
4. You must do all the quest pre-requisites first: Rachel Sanctuary Quest, Curse of Gaebolg, and Veins Siblings Quest

***WARNING***
QUOTE
For the Curse of Gaebolg, as long as the bug has not been fixed, you have to choose the option Go to Father Bamph first. Because if you don't and you choose to go to Rodafrian first, your character will be bugged and you won't be able to get past step 2 of the Nameless Quest. BTW, I am going to revise my Gaebolg guide later based on the current bugs.



*NOTE*
If you are following a guide in doing quests, read it first thoroughly or at least 2-3 steps ahead of where you are currently at, so as not to miss some important notes usually provided by the authors that are crucial in finishing a quest. Also read some feedbacks from people who have finished the quest.


1. Aboard the international airship (Izlude-Juno-Rachel route) and go to the lower level of the airship to meet the Agent (95,61). He will tell you to go to Father Bamph.




2. Meet Father Bamph at the Prontera Church (his room is located to the left of the Nun NPC who sells acolyte-related equipments). He will tell you to meet Larjes at Comodo.




3. Go inside the Comodo Casino and look for the Ordinary Man Larjes at (cmd_in02 174,89). After saying Excuse me and Priest Bamph sent me, he will warp you somewhere safe to talk (2nd floor of the Casino) and Larjes will tell you about a kidnapped high-ranking official.



Afterwards, he will tell you to report back to Father Bamph.


4. Return to Father Bamph and Tell him what Larjes said. Keep talking to him until he asks you to continue the investigation on their behalf. Just choose Of course, I'll help and he'll tell you to go to Rachel. He'll also give you 5,000 zenny for your airship fee.


5. Once you are in Rachel, go inside the Rachel Inn @ (115,149) (It's the building to the north of the Cool Event NPC) and look for the Waiter @ (ra_in01 308,59). Just go through the hallway until you see a another portal. Tell him I'd like to order and then say Yes. He'll give you a seat and and ask your order (say ...Yes, that sounds good)



While the waiter is taking your order, you'll overhear a conversation in the next table about a famous fish (but really, what piques your interest is about the arrested group of smugglers in the southern beach of Veins ). You'll be given 4 Assorted Seafood and you have to pay it for 3,000 zenny.


6. Proceed to Veins via the Rachel Cool Event NPC (teleport service), go inside the building at (88,172) and talk to the Magistrate named Al Hamad. Ask him Are you in trouble? but he'll just brush you off.




Now talk to the Soldier named Himus and he'll tell something about the arrested smugglers. Ask him Who are the smugglers?. Talk again to Al Hamad and tell him "I want to know about the smugglers." He won't disclose any details unless you get a written order from a high ranking officer.

7. Now go to High Priest Zhed inside the Rachel Sanctuary @ (ra_temin 277,159) and Ask About Veins Incident. He'll tell you to ask Niren about the incident instead.

Now, a lot of questers are getting confused in this part because the second time you talk to Zhed, he'll say something about the Volcano incident. It just so happen that Zhed is also the trigger to the Thor's Base Volcano quest thus other questers are also doing the said quest, thinking that it is also one of the pre-requisites of the Nameless Quest(btw, I did the Base Quest too during my first nameless quest). The Thor's Base Volcano Quest is a pre-requisite of another quest, the Peace for Arunafeltz and not the Nameless Entrance. So if Zhed said, "If you decide to visit Niren, please send her my regards," then go and visit Niren. But if you want to take the Thor's Base quest, then do so and talk again to Zhed. It won't affect the nameless quest anyway.



8. Visit Niren just outside the Rachel Sanctuary @ (ra_temple 165,57) and Ask About Veins Smugglers. Accept if she asks you a favor (which is to go and investigate the monastery). She will also write a letter to the magistrate of Veins.




9. Go back to Magistrate Al Hamad and he'll now tell you about the smugglers.

10. Proceed to Veins Tavern @ (148,220) and talk to the first Drunkard (ve_in 239,115). He's babbling something about a guy on a fishing boat who saw a ghost.




11. Now look and talk to the Kid named Karyn @ (327,185) and he'll lend you his father's boat.




12. Go to the south field of Veins (Veins Field 7) and inspect the boat @ (ve_fild07 128, 131). Larjes will appear upon your inspection. He's actually spying on you since you know some high ranking official from Arunafeltz. Choose Yes, I'm ready if asked to go to the Nameless Island.

You should be ready as if you're going MVP hunting. This quest is like a DO or DIE scenario. You either finishe this or you don't (because of the bug). Also do the following whether you're questing solo or with a party:
- Gear up your character for battle. Nameless island monsters are undeads and demons. Go to amesani, doddler or ratemyserver and check for the stats of each abbey monster to know about them.
- Bring at least 1 box of Token of Ziegfried and 2-3 pcs if not 1 box of Kafra Card for emergency purpose.
- Bring lots of Fly Wings or a Teleport accessory.
- Have healing items for HP and SP with you.
- Don't forget the Yggdrasil Leaves (can be used for resurrecting the party if without a priest/s or if the priest/s died).
- For priests, bring holy water if there's a SinX or LK in your party. For solo melee characters, you can bring an aspersio scroll, along with holy waters. *optional but probably needed in fast killing
- For bombers, you'll probably be wasting a lot of acid and fire bottles in this area as monsters here have little to no vit.

13. Once you are on the island, go to (nameless_i 127,207) and Investigate the Dead Crow. You'll be knocked unconscious afterwards.




14. You'll find yourself in Larjes' house when you wake up. As you try to get out of the house, a Zombie Slaughter will attack you. If you died on this part, just go back to the Nameless Island and enter the house at (nameless_i 168,257).

***WARNING!!!!!!!***

QUOTE
As long as the nameless bug is still active in pRO, questers have to remember the following:

- YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DIE AND RESPAWN
- YOU SHOULD NOT USE BUTTERFLY WING
- YOU SHOULD NOT WARP YOURSELF TO ANY OTHER LOCATION VIA WARP PORTAL OR DUNGEON SCROLLS
- YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE THE ISLAND IN NIGHT MODE WITHOUT FINISHING THE QUEST FIRST BY ANY MEANS ASIDE FROM DISCONNECTING/RE-LOGGING


...You won't be able to return to the night mode and continue the quest if you don't follow. BTW, you can die anytime you like in the night map. Just be sure that you have someone or something to resurrect you. For TYR & VALKYRIE players, I haven't confirmed yet if the 2x-dead-respawn is applicable to the MVP maps here (but I think it's not) but just to be sure, once you are resurrected, disconnect and relog. If the 2x-dead-respawn is not applicable, then you don't have to dc-relog.


15. To continue, go to the Second Floor of the Cursed Abbey Dungeon and you'll find Books. Choose Examine Book You can snipe-read the Books if you can't get past all the monsters near and inside Hibram's quarters.




Fallen Bishop Hibram MVP spawns here in the 2nd floor.


16. When you're done reading, make your way to the Third Floor of the Monastery and you'll find a Man at the uppermost right corner of the prison cell. (There are a lot of annoying Necromancers in this area. Beelzebub MVP also spawns in this level.)



Choose Touch Him when prompted and you'll be attacked by Dead King.



DEAD KING


17. Defeat him and he'll drop a Broken Crown. Don't forget to retrieve the Token of King from his body.

18. Return to Larjes at the docks of the Nameless Island NIGHT map and give him the Token of King. He'll reward you with 1,000,000 base experience. Talk to Larjes again to leave the island.




****REMINDER****
QUOTE
AGAIN, when you return to Larjes, do not use warp or butterfly wing. You have to walk or fly your way back from level 3 down to the island itself until you give the token to Larjes.


19. Return to Father Bamph in Prontera Church and report your findings to him.

20. Return to Niren and hand her the journal you found at the 2nd flr of the Abbey. She'll give you 500,000 base experience as reward.




**************** QUEST FIN ****************

You can now go in and out of the island happily.
