Speak to Alea of the Royal Guard in Tarian.
Start: Royal Guard Captain Athi (Juno)
Hear me out, foreigner. The Darkness is gathering and peace in Iris is once again in danger. At least that's what the whispers in the air tell me! If you don't believe me, speak to an expert in the dark arts and confirm it by yourself. You should pay a visit to Alea in Tarian, he might know more about the mysterious darkness. He might be able to help you out before it's too late.
End: Alea of the Royal Guard (Tarian)
It's good to see you again, old friend. Although I wish it were under different circumstances… The situation is dire.
Reward:
Super Haste Potion [1]
Get new hints from the Secret Squad Kiraku in Ramslo's Lab.
Start: Alea of the Royal Guard (Tarian)
I don't know what you've heard so far, but it seems like we weren't able to fully vanquish the dark magic of the Black Tyrant after all. When we destroyed the necklace from the Black Tyrant, the arcane echoes of the black magic released seemed to have unchained something far more dangerous... A lot of time has passed since then, but I can feel that whatever was awoken has been looming in the dark, growing and awaiting for its time to rise. We need to get to the bottom of this, which is why I need your help. You have to look for new clues in Ramslo's Lab. We might have missed something the last time about the origin of the necklace. I know that there is a swordsman called Secret Squad Kiraku that patrols there. Find out if it has any clues.
End: Alea of the Royal Guard (Tarian)
You had to murder it? I know quite something about the dark, but I have to say your methods of investigation are definitely darker. But in any case, I'm glad you're back in one piece. What matters is that we get to the bottom of this before it's too late!
Reward:
Platinum Adrenaline [1]
Slay the Slurg Devil-Tongue in Ramslo's Lab.
Start: Alea of the Royal Guard (Tarian)
Kiraku talked about his sister, Slurg Devil Tongue, while fighting. Well, rather odd if you ask me, but maybe we can learn more from her. Try to locate her in Ramslo's Lab and take her down if necessary. Just make sure to get more information this time before going rampage.
End: Alea of the Royal Guard (Tarian)
Oh, you're back already. Judging by those stains on your armor I guess that devil's tongue wasn't very talkative either. Now, tell me what you found out.
Reward:
Restart Raid Dungeon [1]
Kill Hideous Karabakh in Ramslo's Lab.
Start: Alea of the Royal Guard (Tarian)
It's interesting to hear that even the monstrosities of the shadow army can be convinced to rat on their companions if you apply the right interrogation techniques. You mention that she stammered something... "The two Hideous Karabakh"? Well then, I believe it's time to let you do what you do best: Find and slay 2 Hideous Karabakh in Ramslo's Lab. Hopefully this will bring us closer to solving this mystery.
End: Alea of the Royal Guard (Tarian)
Good to see you're alive and well. Why did it took you so long to kill some starved insects? You had me worried for a second.
Reward:
Epic EXP Spell [1]
Find The Unknown in Ramslo's Lab.
Start: Alea of the Royal Guard (Tarian)
So you are trying to tell me someone was feeding those monstrosities? I cannot believe anyone sane would hide and live in the Laboratory. What a revelation! From the old maps of the place the only place where someone could hide from the monstrosities is in the hidden chamber of the Black Tyrant. I suggest you be on your way to find this chamber and this mysterious stranger. Let's hope that he can tell us more! And try not to kill anything this time.
End: The Unknown (Ramslo's Underground Laboraroty)
Finally, you have found me. I am the Unknown, the eternal traveler and the seer of worlds. I have a special connection to the dark realms. When the light flickers, I can see through my eyes what awaits in the dark.
Reward:
Dratan NPC Scroll [1]
The Creature of Darkness [185-200]
Speak to Tomb Guard Atum in Dratan.
Start: The Unknown (Ramslo's Underground Laboraroty)
I saw a terrible force of darkness awakening from a long sleep and then, I saw your light. Listen closely young one, the corrupt black magic of the Tyrant was channeled from seven ancient artifacts called Insignia. The Tyrant was draining an immeasurable amount of energy from them to become more powerful and that was keeping something way more powerful from awakening. You heroic follies have broken that balance. In my visions I saw very clearly that your path will lead you straight into a desert. It leads you to an ancient tomb that is not your own. You should venture into the depths of the darkness. You must fight the Omen of Darkness and defeat the one who lurks in the dark.
End: Tomb Guard Atum (Dratan)
Hey, you! I need your help. I have been guarding this tomb for very long and I have never witnessed such horrors. A dark force has taken over Theo's Tomb. His long slumber is over and he will awake soon. We have to stop him when the time comes!
Reward:
Enter the Darkness [1]
Find Theo's Sarcophagus and examine it closely.
Start: Tomb Guard Atum (Dratan)
I'll tell you how to make sure that Theo won't be our downfall. It's very simple: You need to take him down before it recovers its full strength! You need to find a way to force its summoning early to defeat him. As soon as he appears, you have to be quick to slay him. I fear that there is no other way. Now enter Theo's Darkness and find his sarcophagus. Study the inscriptions and you should be able to find out how the ritual works before we are all doomed.
End: Theo's Sarcophagus (Theo's Darkness)
"So that's the sarcophagus... Let's see what these mysterious Insignia are all about. I hope I can solve
Reward:
Enter the Darkness [1]
