Walkthrough

Kuftal Tunnel Map 1

Trade enough Crystals to the Conquest NPC to raise your Rank bar and unlock the Mission, then accept it from the Gate Guard.

  • Visit Drake Fang in Zeruhn Mines (H-6).
  • Head for Kuftal Tunnel Map 1. Just inside from the Western Altepa Desert entrance at (H-4). At (H-8), there is a ??? you have to check.
  • Interact with the ???. You'll receive a message about "'a piece of wood buried in the sand, it will ask you if you want to extract it, select yes. then the message 'the piece of wood fell off the cliff."
    • Everyone in your party must check this ???. If anyone does not check this, they can check it after the NM fight downstairs, and then return to the NM ??? and still receive the Key Item.
  • Sneak up and head down around to reach the second ??? down the cliff, directly under the first one.
  • Checking the ??? will spawn 3 level 68 NM Ghosts: Dervo's Ghost, Gizerl's Ghost, and Gordov's Ghost.
    • You can pull Gordov's Ghost and wait for the other two to depop, or defeat all of them.
  • Check the ??? again for a cutscene and the Key Item Old piece of wood.
  • Return to Drake Fang for a final cutscene.
