Impregnable Fortress

Request to Rescue the Duke

Search for the Missing Girl

This request is integral to the main story, and is available at the very start of Abyss 3 once the knowledge is obtained, but cannot be completed until Zone 8 is reached.

Requirements
  • Finish first run of Abyss 3 (you get stabbed)
  • Obtain knowledge of Lily and Alan (Talk to them after defeating the GWO in 1st run, when you can limp around talking to people) OR talk to NPC on Zone 9 on low corruption.
  • Subsequently enter servant's room on low corruption, which is located right after you drop down at the end of the hallway from the Zone 9 Harken. Get the information on the table, and optionally the tattered rag (you may cursed wheel the corruption away if you'd like)
Rescuing the little girl in Critical Condition (No dog)
  1. Select the 55 gold option when posting the request, or select the 1550 gold option but not having the tattered rag on you.
  2. Talk to everyone in Guarda for information. It is crucial to talk to the innkeeper.
  3. You will be led to the Royal Capital, namely the outskirts. Only the NPCs with bags are necessary to interact with.
  4. You will be led back to Guarda, where you need to find the individual with a crate outside the Well entrance to the Abyss.
  5. Returning to town will give a cutscene of the innkeeper telling you where the kidnappers are. You will immediately be thrown into a fight after with various thieves and 2 mages.
  6. Talk to Raimi at the tent. You will need to remember to talk to Lily and Alan in the Duke's room later to show them the child is safe (this is a lie).
Rescuing the little girl in Critical Condition (Dog)
  1. Select the 1550 gold option when posting the request and having the tattered rag.
  2. The 1st option when talking to the dogkeeper is not important, but the second option is. Ask him what you need to get for the dog.
  3. Get 10 meat directly from an NPC in Guarda.
  4. Get to the wheat room in Zone 8. You need low corruption for the door to not be blocked. There will be a battle with Succubi.
  5. Obtain the rights to the dog on return to Guarda. Remember that the innkeeper was the one who told you about the kidnappers, so head there.
  6. Thrown into the fight again with various thieves and 2 mages. Dog dies from getting kicked and little girl is not doing so well.
  7. Talk to Raimi at the tent. Once again, remember to talk to Lily and Alan in the Duke's room later to show them the child is safe (this is a lie again).
Location of Wheat Room

Rescuing the little girl safely

As of patch 1.4.0, there is a bug where saving the little girl does not unlock her bondmate if done on True ending because the parents are missing

  1. You must have rescued the girl before in critical condition with the dog.
  2. On the second option, tell him you already know what you need for the dog, "Got it"
  3. Get 10 meat directly from an NPC in Guarda. Obtain wheat from the room in Zone 8. Battle with Succubi.
  4. Return to town, get the dog, and head to the inn.
  5. Thrown into fight yet again with the thieves and 2 mages.
  6. This time however, the dog and little girl are safe.
  7. Talk to Knight Commander at the tent this time. Remember to talk to Lily and Alan in the Duke's room later to show them the child is safe (true this time).
  8. Talk to the couple after defeating the GWO to obtain "Kidnapped Girl Liam" as a bondmate, who is a water element bondmate that gives Stun Tolerance.

Old District (Slum) Faction Quests

Upon reaching Zone 4's Harken and returning, you will receive a message from the respective faction to return to the Royal Capital to receive a request, all of which take part in a slum and then immediately a cave. Normally, the reward for all of them are just gold, but upon doing them all correctly, not only do you receive more gold in general but also receive a LUK lantern if all are done perfectly.

Royal Family Route (Perfect Run)
  • Get briefed on the mission at the Royal Capital by accepting the request at the Tavern.
  • Go to the slums and talk to everyone.
  • Do not eradicate the slums, and clean up the little girl. Disagree with Princess Pulgritte.
  • Leave to West Cave to gather food for the slums.
  • It does not matter where you get the meat or if you go over the necessary meat, but if the head Gorgon is too difficult, you may kill the random Gorgon around the cave or walk around the head Gorgon and farm meat from the dead ones through a crack in the wall.
  • Return to the slums to receive your gold reward after the cutscene.
Locations
Pontiff Route
  • Get briefed on the mission at the Royal Capital by accepting the request at the Tavern.
  • Go to the slums and talk to everyone.
  • Head to the Cursed Cave and make your way around talking to NPCs that show up on the map. There are only 2 Heretics in the entire cave.
  • The two people that lured people in with spike traps are Heretics, you must select the option that they are. Win the fight against them.
  • The next Heretic is the Carpenter-looking NPC who killed someone at the start of the cave. Look for them and they will automatically be declared a heretic since they turn into a warped one. Win the battle.
  • Choose to "Investigate Ted" after the battle and head back to the Slums. It is advised to heal before going to this fight. This fight will also be signfiicantly easier with a Ninja with lvl 2 Dissipation.
  • Upon confronting the one-legged NPC named Ted and declaring him a Heretic, you will go into a fight with Ted in the backline and several random NPCs in the frontline. They all hit relatively hard, especially Ted himself casting AOE magic. The main gimmick of the fight though is that he casts defense magic on everyone that make physical damage useless for 12 turns. If you do not have a ninja, it will be a battle of attrition where it's preferred to bring 1-2 healers, 1 mage, and have frontline defend.
  • Leave the slums to receive your gold reward after the cutscene.

If you do not have a mage, you can also farm LA- level spell scrolls from the Greater Demon that spawns in Abyss 1 after completing the B8F request

Locations
Admiral Route
  • Get briefed on the mission at the Royal Capital by accepting the request at the Tavern. You will need to collect 3 orphans for the Admiral.
  • Go to the slums and talk to everyone. Do not take the little girl.
  • Leave the slums and head to the Southern Cave and talk to the NPCs around the map. You are looking for Colette.
  • There will be orphans that randomly spawn after a fight as well, and here you are looking for Hugo and Leo in that order. Leo will only come with you if you took Colette AND Hugo first.
  • After taking all 3 orphans, you will automatically finish the request, and talk to the Admiral in the cutscene. You must tell him to accept Leo's offer despite the financial loss.
  • You will receive your gold reward after the cutscene.

Fortress 2F Minor Harken

Water Hauling

  • Harken to Zone 9 and walk all the way to the indicated location (maps may be different due to Abyss 3 variation, so look for similar room formats).

Boss: Offensive Golem

Will buff itself with an attack + accuracy buff for 4 turns, and it will have the capacity to one shot even tanks that are defending. It will generally spam an AOE frontline attack, but can sometimes do a column attack. Very rarely, it will decide to basic attack. Every 4 turns, it will rebuff itself for another 4 turns. When it's about to die, it will buff itself with an accuracy buff and damage buff for 4 turns that isn't as strong as its usual buff. However, the attack buff does not stack with the other attack buff, but the accuracy buffs stack.

Boss: Defensive Golem

It will buff itself on turn 1 with invulnerability (it will take 0 damage permanently). It also has the same moveset as the Offensive Golem in which it spams an AOE frontline attack or a column attack. It occasionally uses basic attacks. Every 4 turns, it will rebuff itself with the invulnerability (despite it having no duration). When it's about to die, it will buff itself with an accuracy buff and damage buff that are very mild for 4 turns.

Saving the Dog and Adventurers

If you choose to save both the dog and adventurers at the same time, you will need to fight BOTH, and the invulnerability buff of the defensive golem applies to the offensive golem (but not the other way around for the offensive buff). If you choose to save only either one, you will still need to fight both golems, but one at a time instead.

Strategy

Frontline: Frontline preferably 3 Knights/Fighters/Priest (any combination) with 300+ DEF. Ideally they should have the skill Self-healing preferably at lvl 3, but no higher. It's also preferable to have entire inventories of Ultra Healing.

Backline: Backline preferably 1 Priest, 1 opening-hitter DPS, 1 Ninja. Ninja and Priest are required, all 3 backline should have self-healing as well at lvl 1, any higher isnt necessary but lvl 3 is the highest you need. Bring as many SP and MP pots as possible. This can be a long battle.

Strategy: If your team is fast enough, you have 1 turn to burn the defense golem for as much HP as possible in 1 turn. You need to use defense penetration skills or extremely high level skills, otherwise you will do nothing substantial.

Once the golems buff, you must have the ninja use dissipation on the offensive golem. All units should defend at this point and wait for one of the golems to cause an opening. On average, the offensive golem hits for 200-250 to defending frontline without his damage buff.

Once an opening is created, have your backline opening-hitter do their strongest move against the golem. Every 4 turns, the golems will rebuff. You can tell when they are about to rebuff when the offensive golem has 1 turn of accuracy buff left. At this time it is safe to not defend with frontline and use Self-healing or Potions. This will keep MP costs down, but if you don't have a lot of MP, then it's okay to run another priest/mage with heals.

Repeat until both are dead. Use heals as often as possible. Makaltu might be worth using at low levels to reduce ur overall mp cost in the fight by a bit but it's not necessary, and you will die regardless if the offensive golem moves to the frontline and attacks with the damage buff up.

The defensive golem will likely die first, and the offensive golem will actually remove its invulnerability buff once it reache's near death. Dissipation still removes the damage buff first. It will still have quite a bit of HP so continue the strategy and only attack when it has 1 turn of accuracy left.

Additional Notes
  • If you only save the dog, you get nothing but the stated gold in the request.
  • The quest is not repeatable once the bondmate has been obtained (Unsure if this is intended or not)
Rewards

If you save both the dog and the adventurers, you will receive the bondmate "Eugen and Bibi" which is a void element bondmate with confusion tolerance.

Boss: Necrocore

This boss will always act three times at the start of the fight. It will cast "Summon Undead", which summons a Sand Apparition + Skeleton Giant to the same row and a Skeleton Mage, Gluttonous Maw, and Red Spinner Woman to the back row. It will then cast "March of the Undead" which will grant a 10 turn Attack, Accuracy and Defense buff to all enemies. Finally, it will randomly use a skill from a standard Necrocore. Most of the time afterwards, it will act like a typical Necrocore, but can recast "Summon Undead" and/or "March of the Undead" typically at turn 5+.

Strategy

Frontline: Preferably very tanky damage dealers Fighters are preferred (as they have Full Power Strike), but Knights can be used too for DPS purposes if they have high level damage skills. Try not to use Light element adventurers, as all the damage done by the enemies are Dark. It's almost MANDATORY to have Assault guard level 1 on all the frontline (Not necessary if you have Undead Resistance and/or Dark Element).

Backline: Two priests are preferred, especially if at least one of them can cast mage skills (Kantios). They ideally should both have Madios LvL 3+ and Makaltu Lvl 3+. If you do not have a Knight in the frontline OR are using the Knight for DPS purposes only, you WILL need a knight SPECIFICALLY to cast Knight's Defense. Assault Guard is preferred on all the backline as well.

The Knight casting Knight's Defense needs to be slower than all other party members, but still be around ~70 ASPD give or take a few to not be outsped later in the fight by the Necrocore.

Generally speaking, you should try to have Undead Slayer gear for the boss if normal gear isn't doing enough damage.

Strategy: Essentially, this fight is a DPS race to see whether your team can kill the Necrocore before it wipes your team. The fight will ALWAYS start out as an Ambush, and as such, the Necrocore always gets a free hit on your party. He hits EXTREMELY hard and easily deals 500+ damage on an assault guarded frontline with 300+ defense. It's acceptable to restart if he does Spear Thrust instead of Zelos or Mazelos, as those are not affected by the attack buff he casts. Essentially you will be spamming Full Power Strike on Fighters OR Heavy Attack/Precision Strike/Armor Pierce LVL 3+ every turn on ONLY the Necrocore, as the fight will end once the Necrocore dies. Makaltu will help a lot with surviving the onslaught of damage every turn, as it's quite a lot EVEN with Knight's Defense. Two priests are preferred, as you often will need to cast Madios Lvl 3+ on both rows. When you do not need to heal, attempt to cast Kantios on the back row and then the front row. This will reduce the amount of damage you may take, as most of the basic enemies have Instant Kill moves or skills that deal a lot of AOE damage. It's also preferrable for the support adventurers to carry nourishing draught if you need more turns to deal with the Necrocore.

Additional Notes
  • If you die, you don't need to use any Flame of Resurrection as there is a Harken nearby, but you will still lose 5 fortitude on all allies.
  • Dissipation does not work here very well, as the Necrocore can rebuff at any time. In addition, the attack buff is dispelled after the accuracy buff, and the defense buff is not dispellable despite being multi-turn.
Rewards

You will obtain "Graham, Knight Commander of Guarda" as a bondmate, who is a fire element bondmate with Attack Power and Stone Resistance.
