Unspeakable Thoughts

Instruction	Talk to Eirawen at the Admiral's Residence in the Commonwealth of Belvast. Prompted: Console Her or Tara.... Talk to Admiral Owen. Prompted: Yes or Cough Loudly. Talk to Andras in Taillteann. Talk to Andras again. Prompt: Go or Wait. Choose Go to start the Shadow Mission Secret Meeting. It is recommended to attempt this mission with a party due to the large number of Peaca Dungeon monsters present. Although the mission is based on the leader's total level, party members do not have to be within the requirement to join. (Example: a total level of 300 can join a party set in Hard difficulty) At the westernmost beacon mound within Taillteann, the party leader must talk to Andras atop the mound. Prompted: Stop the Fight or Watch. If spawned below the mound, stand near the beacon and hold the "Alt" key to click on NPC Andras easily. All party members that enter the shadow mission begin from below the mound. Defeat all the monsters that spawn; the NPCs and the party leader will descend the beacon mound to join the battle. There will be 3 waves of about twenty or so monsters in the first two waves with the last having only ten. The following are monsters that will spawn in the mission: Ghost Cloaker, Cloaker, Ghoul (Blue and Gray), Bound Hollow Knight The Bound Hollow Knight serves as the boss of the final wave. If Andras, Odran, Padan, or Sinead dies, the mission will fail. A trick is to have the party leader not finish the conversation with the NPCs to keep them from harm.

Bella's Hand

	Name	Bella's Hand	NPC	Shakespeare, Annick
	Information	I'm in the Rundal Dungeon! Please help! - Mysterious Man

The following are monsters that may appear: Giant Bat, Red Spider, Dark Blue Spider, Treasure Mimic, Pirate Red Skeleton (Normal and Hook), Captain Red Skeleton, Skeleton Wolves (both the normal and advanced variety).

He takes very little damage from the Merrow but also deals little damage to her. Merrow has the Advanced Heavy Stander skill, preventing her from being knocked back and knocked down at all. All of Merrow's attacks will give you the "Merrow's Curse" status effect if hit, causing you to slowly deplete Stamina and Mana for about 5 seconds. Merrow's attacks include: A normal attack Merrow's Smash Merrow's Water Tornado - A light blue circle with the Guardian of Avon mark will appear, centered around her target, in the ground to indicate the attack. The circle will chase around the target for about 4 seconds, in which it will turn white for one second, summoning a large whirlpool. The attack has massive splash range at the end. Merrow's Wave - She will raise both of her hands and summon a wave behind you for about 2 seconds before sending it towards your direction. The wave can be dodged by moving to the left, right, or even behind her. After defeating Merrow, collect your rewards from the treasure chest room and exit the dungeon.

Blood and Death

	Name	Blood and Death	NPC	Shakespeare, Eirawen, Lugh, Morrighan
	Information	Death to the tyrant! - Admiral Owen
Instruction	Talk to Shakespeare in Dunbarton. Prompted: Ready or Not Yet. Choose Ready to initiate the final Shadow Mission History's Curtain Call. Similar to the mission Secret Meeting, the monsters in this mission are monsters that normally spawn in Peaca Dungeon. This mission requires at least 2 players minimum to enter. It is highly advisable to attempt the mission with a fully prepared party due to the high number and difficulty of the monsters that appear. The oldest character based on date of creation aside from party leader will role-play as Shakespeare throughout the mission. (e.g. a character in the party that was created during Generation 7's implementation will be Shakespeare unless another character in the same party was made before G7's implementation.) Be aware that the player role-playing him will not be able to clear their own quest for that run. Shakespeare is considered outside of the party and therefore will not receive buffs from Defense, Party Healing, and Music Skills. Shakespeare is considered a "monster" to the party and will receive damage from reflective Barrier Spikes as well as Rain Casting's lightning effect. Should the player role-playing as Shakespeare disconnect, the mission can still be completed although it may be rather difficult depending on where the party is at. After the cutscene, you will start outside Tara's gate to Rath Royal Castle. Bug: The cutscene that plays upon entering the mission may be repeated again. The cutscene replays every time a player enters the mission. If a player is lagging and then enters the mission, it will be replayed once more for all members of the party, including the person role-playing as Shakespeare. If you are talking to Eirawen when this happens, your character will be stuck in place and the mission will fail. You must re-enter in order to start the mission again. The best way to prevent the cutscene from playing multiple times, do not skip the cutscene. This includes all members of the party. The party leader must talk to the NPCs. Prompted: Dignified or Impassioned, followed by: For Vengeance or For Honor, and finally Unify or Sacrifice. A cutscene will occur. You will then have to battle 5 waves of monsters as you make your way in. 1st Wave: Ghoul x8, Cloaker x4, Giant Firefly x2 2nd Wave: Ghoul x10, Cloaker x6, Giant Firefly x4 3rd Wave: Ghoul x8, Cloaker x8, Ghost Cloaker x2, Giant Firefly x4 4th Wave: Ghoul x10, Cloaker x4, Ghost Cloaker x4, Giant Firefly x4 5th Wave: Demi Lich x1, Ghoul x6, Cloaker x3, Ghost Cloaker x2, Giant Firefly x2 The Demi Lich is not immune to damage, and does not require the Ghost Sword. In the fifth wave, only the Demi Lich has to be defeated in order to move on. However, it is highly recommended to take out most of the monsters surrounding the Demi Lich. Eliminating all the enemies (save for the Demi Lich) within the fifth wave will cause them to respawn. After defeating the Demi Lich, you will be automatically moved to the gate hall on the castle's first floor. CAUTION: If a party member is Knocked Unconscious or using a certain skill (such as Rest) during this teleportation, that party member will not be teleported to the next area. In the event that the party leader is unconscious, the mission cannot be completed and must be restarted, as it is not possible to switch party leaders in that state. During the fight, you will be aided by many NPCs, including Admiral Owen, Andras, Odran, Padan, Sinead, Eirawen, and all of their followers. The Human Soldiers of Taillteann are invulnerable similar to the Elf Guard/Giant Guard. NPCs are capable of leveling up during the mission. It is not necessary for the NPCs to survive. However, it is recommended that at least some survive in order to aid the party in the event that people leave. The party leader must head to the Great Hall in the second floor and enter the Throne Room to begin the final battle with Lugh. Lugh is capable of using Life Drain (Monster), Final Hit and Assault Slash. He can also summon Ghasts (Red, Blue and Green). His weapon boasts extremely high attack power and an extremely wide splash range. Only Admiral Owen will assist you in this part. You receive a "new" Admiral Owen with full health. If he dies, the mission fails, although Owen's HP is high enough to sustain aggro from both Lugh and the Ghasts. A way to keep aggro off players is to use Rank 1 Rain Casting near Lugh's spawn point. Be advised that this will hit the player role-playing as Shakespeare. If Rain Casting is not an option, kill two of the three Ghasts and have one person lure and trap it by one of the pillars in the room, otherwise Lugh will replace his fallen minions. Because Ghasts have a tendency to switch aggro at random, Lugh should be placed on the opposite end of the room and far away from the Ghasts. In the event that Lugh is frozen in place and cannot be attacked, the person that last caught Lugh's aggro must leave and re-enter the room. If Lugh is frozen while aggroing Owen, summoning a partner to use its Hands of Salvation attack may reset his AI. After defeating Lugh, all players will be transported to the Hanging Garden. It is possible to die to Ghasts during the transition conversation. There is a glitch that may prevent players from entering the next room(s). If this happens, players cannot progress and the mission must be restarted. There is a glitch that allows players to enter the Hanging Garden from the Great Hall, and if they do so, they are trapped in that room. Should this happen to the party leader, they must switch leaders to another member who is not in the Hanging Garden, but if this happens to all the members in the party, the mission cannot be completed and must be restarted. There is a glitch that causes the transitioning dialogue to randomly appear right before the Lugh battle, ultimately sending them to the Garden and rendering them unable to assist in the Lugh battle. Should this happen to the party leader, they must switch to another member who is not in the Hanging Garden, but if this happens to all the members in the party, the mission cannot be completed and must be restarted.. The party leader must talk to the NPCs to clear the mission. You will be automatically transported back to the southeast entrance of Dunbarton. Talk to Shakespeare at the Hanging Garden at Tara's Rath Royal Castle to view the ending. The choices you made throughout the generation will affect the ending. You will see Shakespeare beginning to write his new story in his room, his appearance varies. You will also see Morrighan returning to Falias, with Cichol's and Nuadha's presence varying. After the ending credits, complete the quest to receive your rewards. [15,000 EXP, Journal Achievement "Macbeth" (100 points), Bella's Notebook, Str +3, Will +3, Dex +3, Int +3, Luck +3]. If you have completed Generation 16 prior to the renewal, you will receive a congratulatory quest for clearing Generation 16 and receive Str +3, Will +3, Dex +3, Int +3, Luck +3 after completion of the quest.
