Searching for the Relic

	Information	Akule needs to be spoken to at the correct location. If you just completed the quest "A Great Shaman?" it should be the one you had just spoken to.
Instruction	Talk to Akule near the Jungle Tree Crest Mark. Prompted: Okay or Nope. Warning: Talking to Akule before the quest log records this quest will not mark this step completed. Although this does not prevent you from progressing, the quest marker will still incorrectly display this step. Talk to Akule in Karu Forest near the Giants Spring artifact to the northeast. Talk to either Spy S, Secret Agent I, Intelligence Officer, or Royal Guards to the east of Akule's location. Talking to the Mysterious Karu Forest Ruins will not progress with the quest.

You will receive a Black-Tailed Mongoose's White Tail by random. The chance increases as you obtain more Black-Tailed Mongoose's Black Tail. Delivering about 30+ Black Tails should be sufficient enough for a very high success rate to get the White Tail. It may be wise to repeat the mission again before turning them in to Alexina.

The finder will only orient your character in the direction of the herb; you must navigate the maze yourself. The location of the herb is randomized.

Movement Speed boosts, a fast mount, and Crystal Deer or Elf's Hide are recommended to avoid conflict. The herb is a shining spot NPC; if you have eliminated the nearby enemies, you can use Ctrl + Left Click to easily find the herb.

Last Ritual

	Information
Instruction	Talk to Akule near the East Longa Desert Mana Tunnel. Talk to Akule near the Lappa Village Mana Tunnel. Talk to Akule at the Dragon Crest Mark south of Lappa Village. You will enter the Shadow Mission, "The Dragon's ambush!". Akule will assist you. Enemies: Unknown Men × 2 + Korsek Raptors × 4 → Unknown Men × 2 + Korsek Raptors × 6. The Unknown Men have complete stun immunity and will also use Final Hit as well as Assault Slash. They have an extremely large aggro radius, multi aggro, deal high damage, and will pursue you a great distance so proceed with caution. They have Natural Shield. After being struck with a ranged skill, they are capable of using Evasion. Due to their stun immunity, using melee attacks is not recommended as they will immediately intercept it. Additionally, using pets with a stun on-summon attack, such as the Thunder Dragon's Thunder Storm and the Nimbus's Restful Wind, have no effect. However, pets with a knockdown on-summon attack, such as Fire Dragon's Fire Storm, can help take off the heat, though they will immediately get back up and attack. The Korsek Raptors gain full Advanced Heavy Stander after the use of Stomp, which can also lower the player's attack power. However, unlike the ones in the Black Dragon Raid, they are far weaker and only single aggro. Akule exhibits Chain Casting, Thunder, and Fireball, and can cast them fairly quickly. If you cannot handle the enemies on your own, you can let Akule fight them for you. After defeating the first two waves, a cutscene will occur and Akule will disappear. Defeating the third and final wave will yield another cutscene, ending the mission, and you will be warped back to the Lappa Village Mana Tunnel. Deliver Akule's Eagle Mask to Millia. A cutscene will occur. Complete the quest. [100,000 EXP, Complete Saga Box, Saga EP1 Box]. Replaying Episode 1 does not reward a Complete Saga Box. You may only obtain up to 1 Saga EP Box a day for all episodes. However, you will always receive a box for the first time finishing the episode. The Daily Bonus is applied on Monday, Saturday, and Sunday. This resets at EST: 10:00am UTC: 3:00pm AEDT: 2:00am 7:00am PST100.
