Walkthrough

• The following steps are optional. You can immediately head to Ordelle's Caves without talking to either Chanpau or Morjean and still complete the quest.
  • Talk to Chanpau (E-7) in Southern San d'Oria.
  • Zone into Northern San d'Oria, and talk to Morjean in the Cathedral (L-7) (Manuscript room).
    • This step cannot be completed if you are currently between the steps of speaking with Morjean and collecting the Wyvern Egg for the Dragoon flag quest The Holy Crest.
    • If Morjean will only say "Ah, good day. I am Morjean, a researcher here...", it doesn't hold up the quest.

• Depending on your level, before heading out, be sure to have some sort of Sneak/Invisible to avoid aggro, and Warp or Escape for a quick out once you have the Stalactite Dew.

• Travel to La Theine Plateau, enter the ravine at F-6<span style="position:absolute; left:34px; top:px; z-index:15; width:32px; height:32px; background:

• • • Travel to the cave room at (I-5)<span style="position:absolute; left:34px; top:px; z-index:15; width:32px; height:32px; background:

1. 5555FF; opacity:0.5;">. Take the south exit from this room.

NOTE: If you are under level 40, keep Sneak up at all times! In this room, Shriekers, Hognosed Bats, and Jellies aggro by sound.

• To your left, touch the ??? that rests in the pool of water.
• Quickly search for the second ??? near the center of this room to receive the Key Item: Stalactite Dew. If you did not receive the key item, you have missed a step or you took too long between the ??? points.

NOTE: It is possible for a Will-o'-the-Wisp to be by the pool or the Stalactite and it will aggro by sight.

• Return to Balasiel for your recognition. You can take A Knight's Test without having to zone after completing the quest if the requirement has been passed.
