== Walkthrough ==
*After getting the mission from the gate guard, talk to Drake Fang H-6 in Zeruhn Mines who gives you more information. 
*In Kuftal Tunnel very close to the Western Altepa Desert entrance, there is a ??? @ H-8. 
*Examine the ??? on the top of the cliff. The dialogue should end with it saying the piece of wood fell down.
:*Everyone who needs the mission must check the ???, however, if someone misses it, they can check the ??? at the top after the NM is killed, then check the ??? at the bottom and still get the key item.
*Sneak the person who will pop the mobs. That person will then pop the 3 NM ghosts by touching the ??? @ H-7 at the bottom of the cliff, in Cancer pop room:
*:Dervo's Ghost
*:Gizerl's Ghost
*:Gordov's Ghost
*Pull Gordov's Ghost only and kill. Wait for the other two NMs to despawn before completely killing Gordov's Ghost!! If you do not wait for the other two NMs to despawn, respawn time is approx 5 mins.
*The person, that pops and pulls Gordov's Ghost, can zone any mobs that agro while pulling. The party has to grab Gordov's Ghost as he comes by. The puller only needs to be back before he is killed.
:*It may be worth it to have someone go watch for when the other two NMs despawn. (It can be very easy to kill him too quickly)
*Have everyone check the ??? for a cutscene and a Key Item Old Piece of Wood. Checking the ??? will not respawn the NM ghosts no matter how much time has passed (leaving the zone means you will have to re-fight the NMs), so it's okay to raise any members who have died first.
*Talk to Drake Fang again for a long cut scene and to complete the mission.
*Not required: mini-cutscene with Gumbah and Iron Eater afterwards.
