== Walkthrough ==
* Speak with Gumbah.
* Speak to him again for a cutscene that begins the quest.
* Travel to [[Palborough Mines]] and go to the top floor.
* Go to the boat docks (H-8) and take the boat back to Zeruhn Mines.
* At the end of the cutscene, you will obtain the [[Chaosbringer]] greatsword.
* You must now slay 100 monsters with the sword equipped in order to activate its potential.
:* This portion is easy if you have WAR or RUN leveled and Great Sword skilled.
:* If you do not have WAR leveled, you might as well level it up now!
:* If you do not have Great Sword skilled, proceed to the starter mobs outside of gate, they should die in one or two hits as well skill you up.
:* Do not use Weapon Skills for the kill shot, it won't count towards the 100 kills.
:* The only kills that count are normal kill hits from the sword.
:* The sword has a 'memory' of how many it has slain, so you do not need to worry about zoning out, logging out, etc. There is also no time limit.
:* You have to keep track of the number of kills yourself as there is no indicator on the sword. Or you could just go on a killing or farming rampage and before you know it, voila you have met the requirements.
::* Set the [[Records of Eminence]] quest '''Conflict: South Gustaberg''' (or similar) to help you keep track of kills. Make use of the /echo command to track every 10th kill.
::* If you use Windower with chat logging, you can use a text editor like Notepad++ to find the number of "#Playername defeats" entries if you want to do it in one session.
::* If using Windower and addon LatentChecker, you can track the number of kills.
* Upon the completion of the mass slaying, proceed to [[Beadeaux]]. Zone in for a cutscene to complete the quest.
