    grinmush Hello!
    I was initially documenting my HP challenges progress to share with my guildies, but I thought it would be nice to turn this into a forum guide instead!

    1.
    Talk to Vikin at Lith Harbor and start Vikin's Treasure.
    [​IMG]

    2.
    Go to JM From Da Streetz in Kerning City and start A Suspicious Figure.
    [​IMG]

    3.
    Head to The Swamp of Despair II and click on this spot near the right portal for the Lost Coins.
    [​IMG]


    4.

    Turn in A Suspicious Figure to JM From Da Streetz and head back to Vikin at Lith Harbor to start A Matter of Trust.


    5.

    Talk to Dances with Barlog to turn in A Matter of Trust.
    [​IMG]

    To gain Dances with Barlog's trust, go talk to Blackbull at Perion to begin The Wild Amulet.
    [​IMG]
    (Blackbull's image kept getting taken down, so I'm trying to obscure him here and hopefully it doesn't get taken down lmao)

    6.
    Go to Dangerous Valley II. It's a hidden street along the path from Perion to Sleepywood, which is accessible via Deep Valley I via this door here:
    [​IMG]

    7.
    Here, farm Red Drakes until they drop a Fierce Fang.
    [​IMG]

    8.
    Once you have the Fierce Fang, return to Sophia in Perion’s potion shop and select ‘Talk with Sophia’ to proceed. She’ll list down some instructions to empower it using buff potions that you can buy from the potion guy. Buy the following potions and select them in the following order:
    1. …Quickness of a hog…: Speed Potion
    2. …Agility of a nimble monkey…: Dexterity Potion
    3. …Keen eye of a sharp eagle…: Sniper Potion
    4. …Strength of a hunter…: Warrior Potion
    5. …Wisdom of the ancient gods…: Magic Potion
    [​IMG]

    If done correctly, you should now have an Empowered Fierce Fang!
    [​IMG]

    9.

    Head back to Blackbull and turn in The Wild Amulet to receive the Wild Amulet.
    [​IMG]

    10.
    Equip the Wild Amulet and talk to Dances with Barlog. He’ll instruct you to enter a hidden portal where I’m standing at:
    [​IMG]

    11.
    After entering, talk to Dances with Barlog first, then click on this spot here to inspect the remains of the treasure and obtain a Dirty Treasure Coin.
    [​IMG]

    Talk to Dances with Barlog again to begin Mysterious Clues, then head to Sophia again at the Perion potion shop and turn in Mysterious Clues.
    [​IMG]


    12.
    Sophia will ask you to go to Jay in Henesys to find out more about the Dirty Treasure Coin. She also has a request to borrow a book from him as well. Talk to Jay, select ‘Jay’s Library’, and choose the following dialogue options:
    1. I actually am! I love reading about ancient books. I finished my last tome yesterday!
    2. I’m a friend of Sophia from Perion.
    3. We need help with a mysterious potion recipe. Sophia couldn’t find anything about it…
    [​IMG]

    If done correctly, you’ll be transported to Jay’s Library. Talk to him and begin Jay’s Library.
    [​IMG]


    13.
    Jay had asked you to dig around the library, so stand near these hotspots and click on them:
    [​IMG]

    Once you’ve clicked all these hotspots, Jay’s Library will be completed. Talk to Jay and he’ll tell you that the substance on the Dirty Treasure Coin is from a mushroom in the highest point of Ellinia, and it was used in an invisibility potion recipe written by Wing the Fairy.

    You can also fulfill Sophia’s request now. The book she wanted (101 Recipes and Potions with Ancient Trees Sap) was located in this hotspot for me (not sure if it’s the same for everyone), so I took it and completed A Book For Sophia with Jay.
    [​IMG]


    14.
    We'll get the mushroom before talking to Wing the Fairy: travel to Top of the Tree That Grew (path from Ellinia to Perion – keep going up via the trunks in The Tree That Grew I).
    [​IMG]

    Once you’re there, talk to the lovely purple mushroom to obtain some Violet Sagecaps and begin The Unknown Ingredients.
    [​IMG]


    15.
    Head to Ellinia and turn in The Unknown Ingredients to Wing the Fairy. Talk to him again to begin The True Recipe. He’ll ask you to get the following items:
    • 1 Lemon
    • 1 Violet Sagecaps (already obtained earlier)
    • 100 Curse Eye Tails
    • 200 Malady’s Experimental Frog
    • 100 Clang Claw
    • 200 Tortie Shell
    [​IMG]
    …that’s a lot of items!
    1. Lemon
    The Ellinia potion shop sells them!

    2. Violet Sagecaps
    You already have this! But if you do lose it, go back to Top of the Tree That Grew and talk to the purple mushroom again.

    3. Curse Eye Tails
    Leave Ellinia by the top left portal until you're at The Forest North of Ellinia, then navigate the tree dungeons until you reach a The Tree Dungeon: Forest Up North IX for Curse Eyes.

    4. Malady's Experimental Frogs
    Leave Ellinia by the bottom left portal until you're at The Forest of Wisdom - head in the hidden street portal at the very top, until you reach Forest of Evil II for Maladies.

    5/6. Clang Claws and Tortie Shells
    Go to Lith Harbor, talk to Pason to go to Florina Beach, and head right until you hit the last map - Hot Sand. This map has a good mix of Clangs and Torties.
    Once you’re done, turn in the quest to Wing the Fairy, and he’ll ask you to go craft a sample of the potion with Sophia at Perion’s potion shop.

    16.
    Talk to Sophia, who will take you in as an apprentice in crafting the potion. But before you proceed, remember the number of drops of Malady's Experimental Frog! This number might be different for each player.
    When ready, proceed and select these chat options:

    1. Peel them
    2. Enter your number of drops here!
    3. Carve some fragments
    4. Dice them
    5. Break them and put the meat into the cauldron
    6. Mash them
    [​IMG]

    Once done, you have a Translucent Potion in your use inventory!

    17.
    Head to Warrior’s Sanctuary, consume the Translucent Potion, and enter the hidden portal located at the top of the stairs again.
    [​IMG]

    Take some coins from the treasure pile, and head back out to complete How the Thief Got Away with Dances with Balrog.
    [​IMG]


    18.
    Now, head back to Wing the Fairy and take Who is Arel?
    [​IMG]


    19.
    Go back to Vikin to turn it in, and take Barlog’s Involvement.
    [​IMG]


    20.
    Go to Sleepywood and select the Barlog’s Involvement option with the following NPCs in no particular order:
    • Chrishrama
    • Sabitrama
    • Eurek the Alchemist
    • Mysterious Statue
    • The Rememberer
    Once done, talk with Sabitrama, and he’ll suggest you talk to the Hotel Receptionist in the Sleepywood Hotel. Go back to the Mysterious Statue.
    [​IMG]

    21.
    From Sleepywood, enter the right portal to Ant Tunnel I, and a light bulb will appear. Beginning this quest will start a 7-minute timer where you have to reach The Tunnel That Lost Light II within the limit - so don't accept it until you're ready!
    [​IMG]
    • Hog/Silver Mane Mount: (+50/70 Speed and +20 Jump)
    • Mysterious Candy: purchased from FM (+20 Speed/+15 Jump for 30 Minutes)
    • Soccer Fever: a weather effect purchased from Cash Shop for 300NX (+20 Speed/+10 Jump for 10 Minutes)
    ANT TUNNEL PARK
    Right after entering the map, go down and drop down through the part with the arrow - you'll save a good few seconds going the long route.
    [​IMG]

    TUNNEL THAT LOST LIGHT I
    Try and follow this path to keep towards the right of the map earlier on, as there's a ledge at the bottom of the map which might cost you a few seconds to traverse via the rope.
    [​IMG]

    22.
    Once you’ve caught up to Arel, talk to her to complete Catch Arel!.
    [​IMG]
    She’ll prompt you to proceed to The Cursed Sanctuary to Face Jr. Balrog. To get there, enter the next map The Tunnel That Lost Light II and head to the bottom right corner. There's a hidden portal amongst the pile of bones, which takes you to the bottom floor of Another Entrance.
    [​IMG]

    Enter the door and keep going until you hit the last portal (I think some people have issues hitting the right spot for the door, just try and walk up to the middle part and nudge around!)
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    23.

    …But once you attempt to enter The Cursed Sanctuary, you get warped back to Another Entrance!
    [​IMG]
    Take the light bulb quest - you’ll be tasked by Insignificant Being to do the following in order to enter The Cursed Sanctuary:
    • 999 Ice Drakes
    • 999 Dark Drakes
    • 10 Thunder Catalysts (drops from Tauromancis and Spearomancis)
      • A rare drop - be patient! It can take upwards of an hour or so!
      • Note that if you change channels within any Sanctuary maps, you will be warped back to Another Entrance! However...
      • Thanks to EggWaffle and SubterlaborSubterlabor for testing this part!: You can do the Zak method of switching channels! After clearing a map, click on the FM button, change to another channel, exit to clear more mobs, and repeat!
    [​IMG]
    Once you’re finally done, go back to Another Entrance and talk to Insignificant Being. The barrier should now be weakened, so head back into The Cursed Sanctuary!


    24.

    Defeat Jr. Balrog for making you waste hours on all those drakes and ‘mancises, and head back to Dances with Balrog to start A Pirate’s Blessing.
    [​IMG]

    25.

    Finally, head back to Vikin at Lith Harbor. You will be handsomely rewarded with…
    [​IMG]
    A Blue Snail Shell!! Wow!!! Oh and 5,000,000 mesos droolmush
    Co-Written with <span style="font-size: 22px"><b>Isomeride</b></span>Isomeride and <b><b>PreistestSky</b></b>PreistestSky!
    Thanks exzessivexzessiv for confirming the other quest for Albatross is Missing! and testing Doom's effectiveness in Making the Cleansing Potion 2!
    1.

    Begin Albatross is Missing! with Muse at Aqua Road.
    [​IMG]


    2.
    [​IMG]

    2.1. Checking Two Palm Trees for Robinson's The Lost Pilot's Request
    Head to Two Palm Trees and talk to Robinson to start The Lost Pilot’s Request. He needs help finding his Navigator’s Charm, and you can find it by smashing the treasure chests in Aqua Road (or just the map before this, since it's convenient).
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    2.2. If Robinson does not have The Lost Pilot's Request available for you to start...
    Head to Snowy Whale's Island and talk to Nanuke and start The Husky-Lover's Demand. She'll ask for 3 x Frost Pearls, which you can obtain by hitting chests around Aqua Road. This might take 20 minutes or so depending on your luck.
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    3.
    Complete Albatross is Missing! with Muse and take A Feast for Albatross. Muse will also give you 21 x Fishing Wands and… Albatross!
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    You need to use the Fishing Wands near Aqua Road monsters to get food for the Albatross. You don't need to damage the monsters - just use the Fishing Wands near them! There are a total of 4 food dishes:

    LEFT AQUA:
    • Poisonous Scales: Poison Poopa, Krappy
    • Seal Teeth: Freezer, Sparker
    RIGHT AQUA:
    • Colorful Fins: Mask Fish, Flower Fish, Bubble Fish
    • Seafood: Krip, Cico, Seacle, Pinboom
    Using the Fishing Wand on any other monsters will not yield anything, but it also won’t consume it. If you ever run out of Fishing Wands, go back to Muse and select ‘Talk to Muse’ to get more.
    [​IMG]

    Fish for 5 of each food, and prepare to feed Albatross by double clicking on it in your Etc. inventory. Drag and drop the food items into the Albatross window in an alternating order so it won’t get bored of each dish:
    [​IMG]
    Once Albatross is satisfied, head back to Muse.


    4.
    Complete A Feast for Albatross with Muse and take Exploring with Albatross.
    [​IMG]

    Now, you need to bring Albatross on a tour around Aqua Road. Double click on it in your Etc. inventory again and proceed to the maps below. Click on the hotspot shown in the screenshots, and Albatross should be getting more entertained!

    i. Ocean I.C (Left Aqua)
    [​IMG]

    ii. The Sharp Unknown (Right Aqua)
    [​IMG]

    iii. The Grave of a Wrecked Ship (Deep Aqua)
    [​IMG]
    Once Lil’ Abby is entertained, head back to Muse.


    5.
    Complete Exploring with Albatross, and start The Cursed Bird from Muse. She’ll ask you to go find Carta.
    [​IMG]

    Carta
    can be found in this cave at Deep Sea Gorge I.
    [​IMG]

    Turn in The Cursed Bird and start Making the Cleansing Potion 1 with Carta.
    [​IMG]

    Carta will request that you wipe out the whole Deep Aqua ecosystem:
    • 999 x Bone Fish
    • 999 x Goby
    • 499 x Squid
    • 499 x Risell Squid
    • 499 x Shark
    • 499 x Cold Shark
    Here’s a brief breakdown of each map containing the required monsters:
    [​IMG]

    And here’s a table of each mob’s properties and drops:
    [​IMG]
    Thanks DangoDango for this following flow!:
    Oh! And Carta also asks to bring Albatross to her cave too, so get it from Muse to complete Making the Cleansing Potion 1.
    [​IMG]


    6.
    After completing Making the Cleansing Potion 1, talk to Carta again and begin Making the Cleansing Potion 2. There’s a few things to unpack for this part…
    1. Carta will transport you to a map where there are special versions of Bone Fishes, Gobies, Squids, and Sharks.
    2. You need to weaken and capture 10 of each type using Carta’s Fishing Wand. This works exactly like catching a hog for your mount, though the monsters can actually die!
    3. Also, because Albatross is kinda scared of Carta, it is accompanying you into this strange realm.
    4. Thus, taking too many hits from the monsters in there will cause Albatross to panic, making you exit the map and losing all your progress!

    TIPS BEFORE ENTERING:
    • Hotkeying Carta’s Fishing Wand is crucial, as you’d want to catch the monsters ASAP before they die/touch you.
    • When entering for the first time, take this opportunity to figure out which of your attacks kill immediately, and which ones leave a sliver of health that enables you to catch them.
      • If you are extremely strong, consider using an unscrolled, weaker weapon, or take off some gear.
    • Amongst the 4 types, note that Gobies are relatively more dangerous, as they’re the only ones with free and unpredictable movement, which can cause you to take more hits.
    • Once you get all 40 souls, I’d be wary of taking any more hits, as Albatross may still panic and boot you out!!
    • Lastly, Failing is OKAY! Don’t get frustrated and take it easy - you have 30 minutes to get 40 monsters, it’s doable!

    CLASS SPECIFIC TIPS:
    Shout stuns monsters in place, which is extremely helpful for you to position for extra attacks and captures.
    Heaven’s Hammer leaves the monsters at 1 HP, which is well below the capturing threshold. Ice Charge also freezes mobs, so you take less unwarranted hits.
    F/Ps eat well - Slow gives you more wiggle room for more attacks and captures, Poison Mist leaves monsters at 1 HP for easy capturing opportunities, and Paralyze stuns!
    I/Ls have a good spread that focuses on freezing - Slow, Cold Beam, and Ice Strike help to make capturing extremely easy.
    Confirmed by exzessivexzessiv: Doom has immense utility here! The monsters become snails, so they're way slower and easier to catch.
    Arrow Bomb and Hamstring enable you to capture mobs easily, thanks to the slow or stuns.
    Blizzard freezes!
    Shadow Web helps to root monsters, so you can wither them down for captures. It also doesn’t pull aggro, so Albatross is safe. If you do have it, Ninja Ambush can help wither down monsters too.
    Boomerang Step stuns and damages, but just be wary of how much it deals in case you 1-hit the monsters. Ninja Ambush works similarly for shads too, and if you really wanted, you could also make use of Smokescreen to ensure captures for a short period.
    Double Uppercut and Backspin Blow both stun, though the latter makes you take contact damage.
    Blank Shot stuns and Ice Splitter freezes.

    …So! Once you’re ready, double click on Albatross in your Etc. inventory to bring it out before talking to Carta and select ‘Talk to Carta’ to proceed.
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Once you’ve collected all 40 souls - congratulations! Turn in Making the Cleansing Potion 2 to Carta.


    7.
    Begin What’s Wrong with Albatross? with Carta and… apparently Albatross is depressed! Head back to Muse and turn in What’s Wrong with Albatross?. Begin A New Friend.
    [​IMG]

    Muse wants Albatross to leave Aqua Road with you and travel the world!! But first, she wants to test your friendship. Select the following options for the quiz:

    1. Two Palm Trees OR Snowy Whale's Island
    2. ANY OPTION CONTAINING 2 OF THE FOLLOWING: Colorful Fins, Seafood, Poisonous Scales, Seal Teeth
    3. ANY OPTION CONTAINING THE FOLLOWING: …Wrecked Ship, …Orbis Tower, …Korean Folk Town

    If answered correctly, Albatross joins you on your adventures, and is placed in your Cash Shop inventory!!
    [​IMG]
    0.
    Before you begin, you should also take up the class challenge from your 1st Job Instructors - softsoft goes into detail on this here:
    1.
    Go to Ludibrium and talk to Wiz the Librarian to start Wiz’s Woes.
    [​IMG]

    He'll ask you to sort some books into their respective shelves. Refer to this image for where each book goes!
    [​IMG]

    Your last book requires you to enter the storage room to return it – enter the top right door, climb up the stairs, and head to the middle where this podium is and place it there!
    [​IMG]

    Once you have returned all the books to their shelves, head back to Wiz the Librarian and turn in Wiz’s Woes.

    2.
    Begin Who Can Read the Tome?. Select "Uhh..." as the dialogue option to proceed. Once done, head up the elevator to find Karen at Time Control Room (101st floor of Helios Tower). Turn in Who Can Read the Tome?.
    [​IMG]

    3.
    Begin Waiting on Karen. At this point, 6 quests are available for you to take in Ludibrium from the following NPCs:
    [​IMG]
    Marcel asks you to collect 100 Toy Trojan Swords and 100 Plane Controllers.
    [​IMG]
    Geanie needs 100 Small Eggs and 100 Yellow Ribbons.
    [​IMG]
    Nara needs help with her staff application as a map designer (haha) and wants you to collect 100 Sticky Spiderwebs and 100 Stiff Feathers.
    [​IMG]
    Head left of Ludibrium and enter the first house from the town portal. Begin [Necki vs Apple] Mason and the Collectibles with Mason the Collector, who wants 100 Toy Ducklings, and 100 Plastic Crowns.
    [​IMG]
    Head left of Ludibrium and enter the fourth house from the town portal. Begin [Necki vs Apple] More Lives for the Necki! With Document Roll. It’ll need 100 Mechanical Hearts and 100 Motors.
    [​IMG]
    Head to the last house on the stretch and talk to Korin to start [Necki vs Apple] Korin and the Memory Card. She’ll need 100 Cogs and 3 Rombot Memory Cards.
    [​IMG]

    To keep things concise, you can farm all of these NPCs etcs. together. I provided the flow I used and the maps that contain the most spawn of each mob here:
    1. 100 Teddy's Yellow Ribbon
      • Pink Teddy / Cloud Terrace <2> and Sky Terrace <3>/<4> are good contenders for having Roloducks and Trojans too (ST<3> only) - Thanks softsoft!)
    2. 100 Toy Trojan Sword
      • Toy Trojan / Cloud Terrace <5>
    3. 100 Toy Duckling
      1. Roloduck / Sky Terrace <5>
    4. 100 Mechanical Heart
      1. Master Robo / <Process 2> Zone 1
    5. 100 Cog
      • Any Chronos mob, I like Master Chronos at Lost Time <2>
    1. 100 Motor
      • Propelly / 59th/58th Floor
    2. 100 Sticky Spiderweb
      1. Green Trixter / 56th Floor
    3. 100 Plane Controller
      1. Planey / 25th Floor
    4. 100 Plastic Crown
      1. King Blocktopus / 22nd Floor
    5. 3 Rombot Memory Card
      • Hidden Street: Hidden Tower, accessible via 8th Floor
      • Two spawns in the map: one up top and one at the bottom, one respawns in 30m while the other respawns in 20m
      • NOTE: Do collect 100 Yellow Toy Blocks and 100 Blue Toy Blocks from both Block Golems as well! It'll be used in a later part of the quest (Thanks JaneJane for mentioning this!!)
    6. 100 Small Eggs (Tweeter, 6th Floor)
    1. 100 Stiff Feathers
      • Farm them from these mobs
        • Ribbon Pigs at Henesys Pig Farm Dungeon is a compact map to farm for them!
      • Check the Free Market
      • Check your mules

    It IS A LOT to farm! so take your time doing them, or maybe find them on the Free Market, good luck!!

    Once you’ve submitted all 6 quests, head back to Karen at Time Control Room to turn in Waiting on Karen.
    [​IMG]

    4.
    Begin Picture This!. You’ll get an Old Camera and will need to take pictures of Eos and Helios Tower. To get a good angle, go to Cloud Terrace and Sky Balcony (the leftmost and rightmost maps of the first level in the Clocktower).

    Once you’re at the maps, you can simply use the Old Camera and leave. Both photos will develop 3 minutes after you’ve used the camera, so just take your time walking between maps before heading back to Karen!
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Thanks RomelRomel for figuring this out!!
    NOTE: If you have the [Storybook] Unknown Letter in your inventory, this will cause you to enter a different instance of Cloud Balcony! Be sure to put this on another character or in your storage so that you can proceed to take a photo.
    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Once the photos are developed, submit Picture This! to Karen.
    [​IMG]

    5.
    Begin The Mystery of Meneos with Karen. She’ll give you a Blue Piece of Paper, which you have to give to Porter at Omega Sector’s Command Center. Once done, take The Blueprint 1 from Porter.
    [​IMG]

    6.
    Head out to turn it in to Rice the Medic at the bottom rightmost side of Omega Sector and begin The Blueprint 2. You’ll need to defeat 200 Mateons and 100 Plateons.
    [​IMG]

    Boswell Field I is a good map with both Mateons and Plateons. Head left of Omega Sector and enter the portal above on the leftmost end.
    [​IMG]

    Once done, submit it to Rice the Medic.

    7.
    Begin The Blueprint 3 with Rice the Medic. You now need to defeat 300 Mecateons and 2 MT-09s. Head to Boswell Field VI and press up on this alien graffiti rock, then press up again and you’ll be at Hidden Street: Defeat Monsters.
    [​IMG]

    Hidden Street: Defeat Monsters is the only map with MT-09s: 3 will spawn on each channel, and each has a respawn timer between 19 to 22 minutes.
    [​IMG]

    Once done, finish it with Rice the Medic and head back to Karen.
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    8.
    Start and finish A Blue Clue with Karen. She’ll give you the Meneos Blueprint.

    Head down to Korean Folk Town and begin Sheets in the Wind with Swallow at the top right corner of the map.
    [​IMG]

    Jump down and click on the rice stack beside Chil Nam to get a Blueprint Piece and complete the quest with Swallow.
    [​IMG]

    9.
    Begin Picking Up the Pieces with Swallow. Head one map right to Entrance to Black Mountain and a light bulb will appear on the top of your head – accept The Moon Bunnies and defeat 200 of them!
    [​IMG]

    The Moon Bunnies will automatically grant you a blueprint piece upon completion.

    10.
    Head to the next map and enter the top portal. Proceed on to Tiger Forest II and begin The Tree Cutter with… the Tree Cutter.
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    He’ll give you a Black Mountain Axe which you can equip for this part!
    [​IMG]

    Across ALL MAPS in KFT - except Hidden Streets - there will be dried trees which you can attack with the axe! I believe it's random for each character, so try each of them until you get the right one!

    If you're doing the challenges with a party, it's a good idea to split up into different maps/channels, as each tree will only respond to the player who has the last hit (e.g., if the tree drops the blueprint piece, it'll only drop for the last hitter!) (Thanks softsoft for this part!)

    Detailing tree locations in each map below, starting from the map closest to KFT:
    Thanks MrThomas for flagging this out - it does exist!

    Once you get the right tree, you’ll get a blueprint piece! Head back to Tree Cutter to complete The Tree Cutter. Do note that he’ll take back the cool Black Mountain Axe.

    11.
    Head back to Entrance to Black Mountain and enter the top portal.
    [​IMG]

    Climb the middle top rope and reach A Small Well and start The God of Mountains with… the God of Mountains. Go through a version of the traditional folktale and select the following dialogue options to avoid being warped back to KFT (Thanks softsoft for this part!)
    • No, my piece of paper is not made of gold.
    • No, I'm looking for a regular blue paper piece.
    Once done, you’ll be given a blueprint piece and a dye bag!
    [​IMG]

    He’ll also give 3 hints to the dyes that he wants. To create them:
    • You need to mix 2 dye powders of the correct colour. Double click the dye bag to open its window and drag any dye powders you have into this window.
    • You can get these powders by defeating instanced King Goblins in a map accessible by talking to The God of Mountains (the bottommost option) and selecting ‘I wish to gather…’.
    • Do note that completed dyes will only use 2 colours! Mixing 3 or more colours together would just give you no results (but it doesn’t compromise your current dye).

    There are quite a few combinations, so these are the official descriptors for each finished dye – just match them to whichever sounds the closest to your list of dyes!
    [​IMG]
    Yellow + Red = Orange (…for the sun after a long day…)
    Yellow + Green = Lime (…bright grass and leaves…)
    Yellow + Blue = Lavender (…for the dawn…)
    Yellow + Purple = Coconut (…trees captured under the sunlight…)
    Red + Green = Chocolate (…soil, and it has a nice aroma…)
    Red + Blue = Plum (…the sky after the sun has set…)
    Red + Purple = Fushia (…for bright flowers…)
    Green + Blue = Teal (…rivers and other water bodies…)
    Green + Purple = Charcoal (…shaping dark mountains…)
    Blue + Purple = Eggplant (…reflections on a night sky…)
    [​IMG]

    Once you’ve mixed and turned in all 3 dyes, finish The God of Mountains for your last blueprint piece.

    At this point, you can double click on the Meneos Blueprint etc. item and drag the 4 blueprint pieces into the Meneos Blueprint window and complete Picking up the Pieces with Swallow.
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    12.
    Head back to Karen and begin Completing the Blueprint. She’ll give you a Dimensional Radar and will task you to find the last 4 blueprint pieces in Deep Ludibrium.
    [​IMG]

    The radar will charge based on how many monsters you’ve defeated in Deep Ludibrium – there’s also a quest to indicate its charge, which you can also see on the Quest Helper UI (Thanks softsoft for this!). All the more to start on your T3 class challenges!
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    softsoft also mentioned that you can bind the radar to your keys, which makes it easier than double clicking it from the inventory!
    [​IMG]

    Some information about the process:
    • You don’t need to have all 300 units on your radar to use a charge!
    • Your blueprint pieces are randomized - they can be in ANY Deep Ludi map, including Hidden Streets and Thanatos/Gatekeeper areas.
    • Maps that previously did not contain a blueprint piece, can contain one after a few uses on the radar.
    • Double clicking the radar will use 25 units, and will return a result:
    1. FAIL: The Radar did not pick any signal. I should search in another map...
    2. COLD: The Radar picked a very faint signal. I’m in the right map, but still far away.
    3. WARM: The signal is good. I’m getting closer. Let’s keep moving.
    4. HOT: The signal is strong! I must be close to a Blueprint piece!
    5. PASS: I picked up a piece of Blueprint!
    • If you get a FAIL, move on to the next map.
    • If you get anything from COLD to HOT, keep moving around the map and use the radar!
    [​IMG]

    Your goal is to sieve out 4 blueprint pieces. Once done, remember to drag all 4 pieces into the Meneos Blueprint window and complete it!

    Head back to finish Completing the Blueprint with Karen.
    [​IMG]

    13.
    Start Back to the Beginnings with Karen and turn it in to Wiz the Librarian. He’ll ask you to fetch one of the books that you’ve returned earlier (for me, it was Mysteries of the Maple World), so just head back to the respective shelf and click to retrieve it!
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    14.
    Begin Over the Moon with Wiz the Librarian. He’ll share about a story on a big, old, and bare tree located in a field high enough to be close with the moon which might uncover the secret of the Meneos Blueprint.

    Moon… Head to Fox Ridge and enter Hidden Street: Moon Ridge via this hole in the wall.
    [​IMG]

    Sure enough, a old and bare tree stands right next to the glimmering moon. Press up on it and…
    [​IMG]

    …Complete Over the Moon with Astrum.
    [​IMG]

    15.
    Begin Astrum with… Astrum. He’ll ask you to find his sibling on the other side of the moon, but he will need 100 Corrupted Tachions to do so. These drop from any Deep Ludibrium monster.
    If you saved any Deep Ludi maps from earlier, now’s the time to Teleport Rock back! Otherwise, walk back and collect them.
    [​IMG]

    Once done, Teleport Rock/walk back to Astrum and turn in… Astrum. He’ll warp you to Astralis’ Asteroid.

    16.
    Start Astralis with… Astralis (by now you can probably see the trend with the quest names haha). You'll have suspicions that the Alien Grays are doing something related to the Meneos Blueprint! Take the portal to her left and you’ll be in Gray’s Prairie.
    [​IMG]

    Head out one map to the right and Town Scroll to Omega Sector and turn it in to Dr. Kim at the Command Center.
    [​IMG]

    17.
    Start Gray Area with Dr. Kim. He’ll ask you to find Agent Ribley. You can spot her at Kulan Field III, though she doesn’t have a minimap indicator nor an NPC name label (she’s good at her job!). Turn in Gray Area to her.
    [​IMG]

    18.
    Begin Four Shades of Gray with Agent Ribley. She’ll ask you to take care of:
    • 150 Barnard Grays
    • 120 Zeta Grays
    • 100 Ultra Grays
    • 10 Chief Grays
    This is practically the entire Kulan stretch, so just mow your way through and submit it back to Agent Ribley!

    19.
    Begin Infiltrate the Secret Base with Agent Ribley. Talk to her again and select the bottommost dialogue and she'll transform you into a Gray for 5 minutes. No worries, as the base entrance is literally just this rock across Ribley, so press up here.
    [​IMG]

    20.
    It’s a jump quest! Don't worry - there's only 2 stages, and it's extremely simple.
    [​IMG]

    Some notes for each stage:
    Before you proceed up, just head right and hit this thing – it’s a switch for the door.
    You only need to hit it once despite its appearance reverting back to an 'deactivated' state after 3 seconds or so.
    [​IMG]
    Continue hitting switches on your way up in stage 2! You have 4 switches here to activate :
    [​IMG]

    For this one, drop down after climbing to any of the ropes, and head down to the circled platform - pressing up there will teleport you up to the ropes above! (Thanks ShadowaaShadowaa!)
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    If it isn't clear, you can jump on the pipes to progress!
    [​IMG]

    This block here is also a ladder too! So just hold the Up key when you jump into this part.
    [​IMG]

    softsoft has generously provided a video walkthrough of the jump quest too, thank you!!


    21.
    Once you’re done with both stages, you’ll face Alien Gray! Proceed using the bottommost dialogue and he’ll spawn King Rombot. Defeat it and report back to Agent Ribley.
    [​IMG]

    22.
    Start Reporting Results with Agent Ribley and turn it in to Dr. Kim.
    Take Delivery Supplies from Dr. Kim, which needs you to collect 100 Blue Toy Blocks and 100 Yellow Toy Blocks. If you've collected them earlier, just skip to the submission below!
    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    23.
    Begin Rebuilding Eos Tower with Tigun. After accepting, select the bottommost dialogue to warp to the room, which has a timed limit of 10 minutes. To start repairing Eos Tower, click on this box here to take out a Toy Tower Piece.
    [​IMG]

    Drop the pieces at the holes where they vaguely resemble the shape! Note that you can only take 1 piece at a time. However, you can take and drop them immediately around the box, which saves you some time from clicking.
    [​IMG]

    Note that you can use this pipe to teleport to the last hole at the top.
    [​IMG]

    softsoft compiled a visual chart pairing each piece and their respective holes in the tower, starting from bottom to top! Thank you!!
    Turn in the quest to Tigun once you’re done and head back to Karen.

    24.
    Begin Memories of Meneos 1 with Karen. She’s reviewing the blueprint again, so Teleport Rock/walk back to Moon Ridge in KFT and report to Astrum via the old bore tree. You’ll also be saying thanks to Astralis via Memories of Meneos 2.

    Once done, you'll be at Gray's Pirarie again, and you can Teleport Rock/walk back to Karen.
    [​IMG]

    25.
    Take A Happy Ending from Karen and Teleport Rock/walk to Gray’s Priarie and press up at this glowing tree to visit Astralis.
    [​IMG]

    Turn in A Happy Ending to Astralis. You not only completed the storyline quest, but you also unlocked a quick travel route between KFT and Omega Sector! It uses an etc. item just like Nautilus-Omega and Ellinia-Leafre, you just need to buy it from Karen.
