Walkthrough

  • Wait until the next game day and zone after completing the previous quest in order to begin this one.
  • Speak to Erlene, The Eldieme Necropolis (S) (J-8) on Scholar. She will ask you to return to the previous location where you found Schultz.
    • (Optional) Speaking with her again will result in some additional dialogue.
    • After flagging the quest with this cutscene, you can continue forward through the rest of it on any job.
  • Travel to the Indescript Markings in Pashhow Marshlands (S) along the north edge of (E-11) next to the wall for the Key Item Unaddressed sealed letter.
  • Read the Unaddressed sealed letter by examining it in your Temporary Key Item menu.
  • Return to Erlene and talk to her again for a cutscene and a Key Item Porting magic transcript.
    • (Optional) Speaking to her again will have her repeat some of the same information.
  • Go to Grauberg (S) (E-10) and enter the cave opposite the waterfall. Examine the unnamed shimmering light on the ground.
  • Inspect the Indescript Marking on the wall in the same cave to enter the instance.
  • Return to Erlene after clearing the battlefield for your reward.
    • (Optional) Upon speaking to Erlene after finishing this quest, she'll just continue to praise you for all of your work.

Battlefield

  • The instance has a 30 minute time limit and up to 6 party members can enter.
  • You may summon Trusts inside.
  • The fight is against Ulbrecht, who is a level 67 Scholar with ~12,000 HP that uses Dark Arts Stratagems.
    • Uses a Dagger and can use Wasp Sting.
    • Will use a Stratagem every minute.
    • Can cast the following spells: Aspir, Cure IV, Drain, Dispel, Protect III, Regen II, Shell III, Sleep, the Storm line of spells, and all tier III elemental nukes. Casts tier III elemental spells with random elements, even after giving himself a specific Storm. In fact, spell selection overall is very poor and he appears to just randomly choose one with no real logic.
    • Immune to Silence but not any other form of Enfeebling Magic, including Bind, Gravity, and Sleep. Like all NMs, it is believed he will build resistance with repeated usage.
    • At around 50% he will use Tabula Rasa and spam spells.
      • During this time, his Stratagems will not wear off upon a single spell cast, lasting a full minute duration. Verification Needed
  • The battle ends once Ulbrecht's HP drops below 20%.
