Guide

1. Walk near Busy Boy (prontera 248, 212) in Prontera to trigger a conversation. After picking up the books with him, you will be asked to send them to the Historian, Karlomoff in Juno.
   • Note: If you lose the books before you deliver them to Karlomoff, you can buy new ones from the Librarian at the Prontera Library (prontera 120, 264) for 700 Zeny.

   

2. Travel to Juno and find the Historian, Karlomoff (yuno 311, 195). After a conversation about a traditional rhyme, you will be requested to deliver a report to a colleague in Morroc. You will receive a File Folder.

   

3. Proceed to a building at Morroc 5 o'clock (morocc 198, 63) to find the Historian, Rodafrian (morocc_in 45, 126). Tell her the rhyme you previously heard, but you will be asked to find someone in Mjolnir to verify it.

   

4. Go to Mt. Mjolnir (mjolnir_01), two maps North of Geffen. Find the Historian, Mondo (mjolnir_01 135, 168) and tell him the version you heard:

   

   • Note: If directly copying/pasting, be careful not to copy any spaces at the beginning or end of the phrase, as it will not work correctly.

   The great serpent swallowed the sea.

   The eagle of the rainbow swallowed the serpent.

   Then the eagle built its nest.

   A nest upon the swallowed sea.

   • Talk to him again and you will then be asked to find a child who sang the rhyme.
5. Find the Dazed Boy (Absent-Minded Boy, mjolnir_01 313, 269) to hear the rhyme, but you will be interrupted by the Exhausted-Looking Woman.

   

6. Talk to the Exhausted-Looking Woman (mjolnir_01 316, 268) again and you will be requested to send herbs to Father Bamph in Prontera Church.

   

7. Talk to Father Bamph (prt_church 185, 106) to learn about the Jormungand Curse. He will request you to inquire about the rhyme from the Exhausted-Looking Woman.

   

8. After learning about the difference of the rhymes from Bonnie Imbullea (Exhausted-Looking Woman, mjolnir_01 316, 268), return to Father Bamph to inform him about it.
9. You will be asked to investigate the bodies of the dead princes in the Mausoleum, through the secret path in the Cabinet.

   

10. Talk to Father Bamph (in Mausoleum) first then examine the bodies from left to right and you find something suspicious. Answer "Poison!"

    

11. Return to the church and Father Bamph will ask to search for information in the Assassin Guild.
12. Proceed to the Assassin Guild and talk to the Assassin Guildsman ( moc_fild16 (moc_fild16) 201, 295). You will be asked to investigate at the Assassins Secret Inn.

    

13. Enter the building at Morroc 8 o'clock (morocc 43, 108).
14. Find Marjana (que_job01 10, 16) in the room to understand the method of using a Yellow Gemstone and Green Potion to identify poison. (Players will only have 4 minutes to remain in the room).

    

15. Return to Morroc (you must leave the building normally, using teleport or butterfly wing will cause problems!). You will reflect on what you now know, and have to decide on one of the following:
    • A. Go back to Father Bamph first, or
    • B. Inform Rodafrian. (This could violate the priest's edict and cause a quest complete without Exp)

    Option A : Go To Father Bamph First

    1. Go back to Father Bamph. He will ask you to verify if the princes are poisoned or not.
    2. Go to the Mausoleum. Check on the 3rd prince. (Must have 1 Green Potion and 1 Yellow Gemstone).
    3. The serpent mark will vanish. Go back to the Church office to discuss further.
    4. Father Bamph will ask you not to reveal the results to anyone yet due to the impact of the matter. He will ask you to bring some relief to Bonnie Imbullea. (Gain 90,000 base experience)
    5. Go back to Bonnie Imbullea (mjolnir_01 316, 268). Tell her that the exorcism is not her fault and good news will arrive soon.
    6. Go to Historian, Rodafrian, tell her the lyrics but not about the curse.

    Option B : Go To Historian Rodafrian First (this is a dangerous option, as there is a failure path on this branch)

    • Go to Historian, Rodafrian (morocc_in 45, 126) and tell her the last verse of the rhyme. Choose either tell her about the poisoned princes or not to tell.

    i) Tell her about the curse:

    1. She will be grateful and tell you about the Western Region and Jormungand.
    2. Go back to Father Bamph. He will ask you to verify if the princes are poisoned or not.
    3. Go to the Mausoleum. Check on the 3rd prince. (Must have 1 Green Potion, 1 Yellow Gemstone).
    4. The serpent mark will vanish. Go back to the Church office to discuss further.
    5. Father Bamph will ask you not to reveal the results to anyone yet due to the impact of the matter.
    6. Talk to Father Biscuss (prt_church 184, 110) and he will thank you for your trouble. (Quest Finished, you receive EXP, and may now talk to Bonnie)
       

    Note: If you speak to Bonnie prior to getting the EXP from Biscuss you will FAIL and get no EXP from this quest.

    This is due to breaking the Priest's edict of not telling anyone two times prior to them giving you clearance to do so.

    ii) Not telling her:

    1. Historian, Rodafrian will be thankful for your help.
    2. Go back to Father Bamph. He will ask you to verify if the princes are poisoned or not.
    3. Go to the Mausoleum. Check on the 3rd prince. (Must have 1 Green Potion and 1 Yellow Gemstone).
    4. The serpent mark will vanish. Go back to the Church office to discuss further.
    5. Father Bamph will ask you not to reveal the results to anyone yet due to the impact of the matter. He will ask you to bring some relief to Bonnie Imbullea.
    6. Go back to Bonnie Imbullea (mjolnir_01 316, 268). Tell her that the exorcism is not her fault and good news will arrive soon. (Quest Finished)
