Becoming a Knight

Once you have finished all the quests necessary to become a squire, head into Meridell Castle from the drawbridge.

## Guide

When you enter the castle, speak to Master Torak, standing right beside the save point. He'll tell you to get sleep in the barracks, which you can find by going down the left hallway, then turning down the hallway on your right, to the door with chairs in front of it. Your bed will be in the top right corner of the room. A cutscene of the Darkest Faerie washing up on shore will play once you go to sleep.

### Squire Chores

When you wake up, head to the courtyard by going through the doorway just besides your bed. Head to your left, and find Master Torak underneath the red awning. You will be completing weapon training. You'll want to perform a 3-point strike on the practice dummy.

After that, Torak will have you speak with Faun the Cleaning Lady in the storeroom. Head back inside to the barracks, then down the hallway. Turn right, go past the stairs to the opposite hallway and go into the room on your left to enter the dining room. Go into the hallway in the back, and turn into the second room on the right.

For this chore, you'll need to round up the Miamice. You'll need to sneak up on one by holding square, and then grab one by pressing square again. Catch five Miamice in total to complete this chore, then leave the room and turn right to head out the door, back to the courtyard. Go back to the same area you completed your first training, but this time head to the practice dummies besides the stairway, where Torak is now.

### Weapons Training and Clog Duty

For this training you'll need to complete the Spin attack on all three dummies. Afterwards, you'll be asked to complete clog duty. Head back into the castle through the barracks, go down the hallway, then turn right and then into the door on your right in this hallway. Speak to the Draik, Guardsman Malcom. Then head into the door to the left to go down to the Prison. There will be a hatch at the bottom of the stairs to your right, and a lever to open it. Pull on the lever, then head down the hatch.

Your goal is to find and clear every clog in the sewers. Once down the hatch, go straight and then down the ladder. Continue straight ahead, killing the tentacle that appears, and turn to your left in the next room to arrive at the first clog. Turn back around down the corridor, then left into the next room guarded by another tentacle. There will be a Slorg in this room as well. Head down the next tunnel, and jump down into the room below. There will be a few tentacles here. Climb the other ladder in this room and clear the next clog.

Follow the tunnel into the next room, and turn right to find a lever. Pull it down to open a gate nearby. Head into the next room with a Slorg, then clear the clog to your right. Pull down the lever on the right side of the gate here to open it, then hop down and go straight, to another Slorg. Follow the corridor to a room with yet another Slorg, and two tentacles. Then jump down into the next room with more tentacles, and clear the clog on the side of the room.

Climb up the ladder opposite the one you came from, into the next room. Go straight and then go up the ladder to your left, to find your last clog. Pull down the lever to your right to open the gate, then in the next room go up the ladder to your right, and head straight up the next ladder to exit the sewers. Leave the prison and speak to Malcom to complete clog duty.

Head back out to the courtyard through the barracks, and find Torak at the top of the wooden stairs.

### Mote Training and Crokabek Nests

Grab the Fire mote near the barrels, and assign it to your sword. Go up to the practice dummy, and hit it. Then after Torak speaks, you'll need to hold down circle until your sword sparks, then hit the dummy to catch it on fire. Once you're finished with this training, you'll need to speak to Chamberlain Lazlo. Enter the castle through the barracks, then head down the hallway and up the staircase. Speak to the yellow Gelert on the far side of this room. He'll task you with destroying the Crokabek nests around the courtyard.

Head out to the courtyard through the barracks. First, turn right and head up the wooden staircase. Hop over to the red awning, and then to the rooftop to destroy the nest here. Hop back down to the ground, then go to the area where you completed the spin attack training. Climb up the ladder of the lookout here, and jump to the stone jutting out of the castle wall. Hop across these until you get to the nest, and destroy it. Jump down to the ground and head to the middle area of the courtyard.

Walk down the right side nearest the castle until you see vines on the castle wall. Climb up these, and follow the ledge against the castle wall, past the statue of King Skarl, to find the next nest. Now, head to the opposite side, past the walkway, and walk straight until you see some scaffolding. Hop onto the cement bricks, across the plank, then climb the vines to the top. Destroy the next nest here.

Now, hop back down to the ground and into the courtyard area right across from the scaffolding. You should see a Turtum on your left. Hit him with your sword, then jump on top to be launched up onto the awning. Get onto the rooftop, and destroy the nest at the far end. Now, you can go back to Lazlo to complete this quest.

Now go back to the courtyard from the barracks, and find Torak in the pit across from the wooden stairs. Speak with him, and follow his instructions by equipping your shield and armor with a fire mote and standing in the center of the stone ring. Shield yourself from the incoming fire attacks. After this, you can go back to the barracks and sleep.

## Tips

* During clog duty, the monsters here are Water-aligned, so use Fire motes.
* During clog duty you can stand on the platforms in the corners of rooms to avoid monsters.
