File:Irinid's Ancient Relic 2.gif
File:Rain Maker's Crystal.gif
 Information
	* Human: Alexina (Qilla Base Camp)
	* Elf: Castanea (Filia)
	* Giant: Kirine (Vales)
2. Achieve a current exploration level of 10 or above and talk to the NPC again to receive a collection book and a dungeon pass.
3. The book requires you to collect cubes(1x1). They have a 100% drop rate from Mimics in the dungeon that the pass belongs to. Mimics can spawn in the first and second room of the dungeon, so, to speed up the process, it may be best to get multiple passes (10~15 passes recommended, depending on the race) and just doing those rooms only.
4. Each race must collect a different set of cubes. Humans must collect nine cubes, while elves must collect six cubes, and giants must only collect five cubes. The cubes are specific to either human, elf, or giant, and the mimics will only drop the cubes which correspond to your race.

		* Flower
		* Human
		* Star
		* Monkey
		* Sheep (appears as Ship in game)
		* Tree
		* Bird
		* Snake

		* Unflyable Bird
		* Pegasus
		* Reindeer
5. Read the completed book and click the button on the first page to collect the reward and receive the Irinid's Ancient Artifact (1x1).
6. Talk to your NPC from step one. Manually complete the quest and wait for the next step. [35,000 EXP]

## Recovering the Ancient Irinid's Relic

File:Ilsa's Handkerchief.gif
 Information
2. Talk to Arenen in Calida Exploration Camp to receive Arenen's Engagement Ring.
3. Drop the ring at Maiz Prairie Ruins in the Rano region to start a solo RP quest.
	* It is a normal 1-floor Maiz Dungeon.
	* Arenen is one of the few NPCs that has Playing Dead. Take advantage of this by using it when you've been aggro'd by Ghosts or Slates and wait for them to forget about you before getting up.
	* Arenen has Rock Throwing as his only ranged attack, and has no magic or alchemy skills.
	* Although Arenen has an Ancient Taming Cane and 10 baits, he has no skill with it. He can gain the Taming Wild Animals at Novice by wielding the cane, though very ineffective.
	* Arenen does however have 3 ap, which is useful for ranking Sword Mastery to rank D.
	* There is no boss; just a cutscene.
4. Talk to Voight to receive [Ilsa's Handkerchief] (2x2).
5. Drop the handkerchief at Maiz Prairie Ruins to enter Voight's RP quest. It requires 2 people.
	* It is a normal 1-floor Maiz Dungeon. It is effectively the same as the one Arenen did but from Voight and Ilsa's perspective.
	* You play as Ilsa and your partymate plays as Voight.
	* Ilsa's only offensive skill is rank 9 Lightning Bolt, so Voight must do most (or perhaps all) of the fighting.
	* Ilsa also has rank Novice Combat Mastery which is rankable to F. However, other then the added HP, its not very helpful.
	* Ilsa can help primarily by getting the monster's attention and then Playing Dead to take some heat off of Voight, especially in the multi-aggro situations.
	* It is possible for Ilsa to learn Counterattack by simply getting countered. However, it is still not very helpful at low ranks.
6. Talk to Arenen.
7. Clear the quest. Wait for the next one.

## Rain Maker - Irinid

 Information
2. Use the skill once. Ranking is not required.
	* You are not given a Cylinder to perform the action.
3. Talk to Kousai again.
4. Drop the Rain Maker Arrow onto the altar at Longa Desert Ruins in Connous. You may bring a party to complete this quest.
	* **Note:** Kousai will say that this dungeon can only be performed on Samhain (Saturday), but this rule no longer exists.
	* The dungeon is a mix of the Emerald, Topaz and Amethyst dungeons. It has 3 floors.
	* The boss is "Possessed Cai".
		+ He behaves very much like a Shadow Alchemist, so it shouldn't be too difficult to defeat him.
		+ If Cai is left alone for too long, he may shout something and level up.
		+ **Note:** For some reason, the party leader will be forcibly removed from the dungeon prior to defeating Cai, but the party members will remain.
5. Clear the quest. Wait for the next one.

## Pencast's Call

 Information
 Instruction
2. The mission is solo.
	* You must defeat a few sets of enemies leading from the north gate of Tara to the Jousting arena. Watch the cutscene.
	* You will be introduced to Mata, and you must beat him in a Joust. If you fail, you must restart the entire mission.
	* After you win, you must defeat Mata in combat.
		+ As a Dark Commander, he behaves very much like a Shadow Commander. You may defeat him in a similar manner to Tethra.
3. Clear the quest. Wait.

## Fight for Courcle's Heart

 Information
	* You are battling numerous waves of monsters shielded by Barrier Spikes until you reach the center where a cutscene is presented.
		+ Monsters include Shadow Alchemist, Bone Fighter, Bone Archer, Bone Lancer, Bronze Bone Fighter, Bronze Bone Archer, Bronze Bone Lancer, Silver Bone Fighter, Silver Bone Archer, Silver Bone Lancer, Gold Bone Fighter, Gold Bone Archer, Gold Bone Lancer, and Shadow Ghosts.
	* When you reach the center, numerous spawns will appear. Fortunately, you are aided by Andras, Karpfen, Granat, and their troops.
		+ If one leader is killed, the mission fails. If one entire platoon dies (minus the leader) is killed, the mission fails as well.
	* After the battle, the mission will clear, and a cutscene is presented.
2. Clear the quest. Wait.

## Courcle's Heart

 Information
	* There will be a long cutscene after which you'll be sent to the Soul Stream.
	* You will face your Doppelganger in this part. This battle will consist of two parts.
		+ Doppelgangers behave similarly to Shadow Alchemists. However, they have Advanced Heavy Stander, which may be a problem as it allows it to spam its attacks.
	* **In both parts, whoever hits the Doppelganger will take 50% of the damage that you inflicted on it so make sure to keep your health at a reasonable level. The Doppelganger still takes the full damage. (e.g. If you hit it 600 damage, it will take 600 damage, and you will take 300 damage.) When you take half of your damage, instead of being knocked unconscious you will be put into deadlystatus instead.**
	* If you happen to die, you may resurrect fully up to 3 times in a manner similar to Nao's Revival by selecting the Morrighan's Protection option, except the resurrection is instant. If you have used up all 3, starting the mission over will restore them. **This method and that of Advanced Phoenix Feathers (provided you are not accompanied by a Royal Alchemist) are the only way to resurrect in this mission.**
		+ If you do happen to spend up all your Protections but barely made any progress, it is suggested to restart, as you will have refreshed revivals and return to the same spot you were in.
2. Part One
	* You will be given a Cylinder and 5 Dark Life Drain Crystals. Make sure you equip the Cylinder.
	* Your Doppelganger will mainly use Alchemy abilities, namely Water Cannon, Wind Blast, and Flame Burst. It can also do Spear of Light and Fury of Light. Attempt to dodge all these attacks.
		+ A fast mount is useful, but not necessary since most skills may be dodged by circling the stage. Be aware of your distance to the Doppleganger, however, since it receives a speed boost from Awakening of Light.
		+ Evasion is strongly recommended, roughly at least a minimal of Rank 9 due to the double roll.
	* The point of part one is to remove your Doppelganger's Awakening of Light. This is done by using Life Drain on it after using Elatha's Music Box.
		+ Use Elatha's Music Box once you see your Doppelganger using Taunt, which is always right after a Fury of Light. A easier way to use the Music Box it to hold control and click the Doppelganger.
		+ Dark Life Drain Crystals have no "Use" command, so you cannot click on them directly to activate them; you must set the skill to a hotkey. Also, if you have any normal Life Drain Crystals, put them on the upper left corner above any Dark Life Drains so they are not consumed.
			- **If you brought a Royal Alchemist along, you may give him/her the Dark Life Drain Crystals to use on the Doppelganger. The opposite person MUST be the one to drain it. (Example - If it copies the Royal Alchemist, the one doing the final must use Life Drain.)**
	* While it takes damage in part one, its Awakening of Light causes it to have regeneration, effectively rendering all attacks worthless.
		+ If you succeed, you will receive a cutscene.
3. Part Two
	* You will now be able to use Demigod mode and the skills introduced at a specific rank determined by the mission difficulty. Kill your main Doppleganger to complete the quest.
		+ You may use Demigod skills indefinitely and without penalty for the duration of the fight. Use the boosted recovery and movement speed to your advantage.
	* The Doppelganger loses its Demigod powers but is now capable of summoning five clones to take you down. It will only summon the clones when given an opportunity to, and they aren't relatively very hard to defeat. **However, you will need to kill all the clones in order to deal damage to your actual Doppelganger.**
		+ Avoid aggroing the Doppelganger while killing the clones since it will cause more clones to spawn.
			- Detection can be avoided during the fight by staying close to the edge, luring a clone with an Icebolt or Ranged Attack, and then killing them away from the Doppleganger.
				* Spear of Light is likely to kill the clones in a single hit. It is possible to use Demigod's speed boost to group the clones and wipe them out with light spears.
	* Unlike Shadow Cast City, Ice Spear can freeze the Doppelganger and its clones. Following the Ice Spears, Spear of Light may be used to inflict further damage.
	* A Chaincast Fire Wand with Rank 1 Firebolt can one-hit most Advanced-level Clones. Demigod MP recovery makes this a very useful tactic, however it is not recommended for the Hardmode level.
	* The main Doppelganger will be distracted by pets or another attacker, unless Windmill is used. It will not it flinch at any attack. You may utilize this to command a pet to distract the Doppelganger as you attack the clone, then desummon it and repeat with others.
		+ Because it is not distracted, you may summon a pet, command it to attack as you load Spear of Light, let the Doppelganger aggro the pet, launch the spear, desummon the pet, wait for your Spear to recharge, repeat.
	* Strong pets are encouraged to serve as a distraction against the clones.
	* Once all the clones are taken out, you can spam Windmill on the Doppelganger without retaliation as Windmill resets its AI every time it's hit by. This works the best with rank 9 Windmill or above. You can also cast Spear of Light during the spinning animation as well.
	* Play Dead will work on the Doppelganger. Thus a viable option of defeating it is to use Spear of Light, then Fury of Light, then Play Dead until the skill timer for the two skills resets.
		+ For Giants, however, Playing Dead is not an option due to the fact they cannot acquire the skill. In order to effectively defeat the Doppleganger, you need to spam Spear of Light (you will be deadly at all times while attempting this), while staying away from your Doppleganger and the other clones. If the clones respawn you need to kill them as soon as possible with Spear of Light. Stay as close to the edge of the area as possible as trying to cut corners will get you too close to the Doppleganger and it will either use its Water Cannon, or Wind Blast to kill you, along with the clones that will one hit kill you.
	* It is possible to use Adniel's Horn Bugle to summon Adniel to damage the Doppelganger.
	* Using Mana Shield is strongly encouraged.
4. Once you've beaten the Doppelganger, you'll have cleared Generation 10 and be awarded with the Demigod skills at rank F:
	* Awakening of Light Transformation
	* Fury of Light Skill
	* Spear of Light Skill
5. Manually complete the quest to claim the EXP.
