Quests

Blocked Road

Level	33
Quest Giver	Ophelia Bagrans
Briefing	I had heard that the Behemoth was acting strange, and now we see the consequences. Blast! Right when it seemed Lotus was within our grasp, the path was blocked by the tremors. There is another way, though. We can use the Temple to get to the Second Spine instead. I... lied about the Temple, you see. It wasn't destroyed, but it IS cursed by the Goddess Venus. GBL doctrine has forbidden entrance to the Temple, but we seem to be out of options.
Objectives	Inform Iris of the existence of the temple.
Rewards	3,117 Exp 172 Gold

Goddess Venus

Level	33
Quest Giver	Iris Fortunesinger
Briefing	So, the Temple of the Goddess Venus truly does exist on the Behemoth? I had no idea... Of course, with GBL protecting it, no one in all of Arad would know of such a place. That is why we need Ophelia. As a member of GBL, she is surely forbidden from entering or even speaking of the Temple. But if we... Yes, that's it. I require an Old Parchment from Sharan.
Objectives	Ask Sharan for an Old Parchment.
Rewards	3,117 Exp 172 Gold Old Parchment (quest item)

Old Parchment

Level	33
Quest Giver	Sharan
Briefing	What in the world do you need this Old Parchment for? Is this really for Iris? You would think that girl could run her own errands. Goodness, she's right there!
Objectives	Bring the Old Parchment to Iris.
Rewards	3,117 Exp 172 Gold Hyacith's Prophecy (counterfeit)

Forged Documents

Level	33
Quest Giver	Iris Fortunesinger
Briefing	Excellent. Now, please give me a moment. (Iris writes something on the parchment.) There I've imitated Hyacith's handwriting and written a false prophecy. I know this is hardly the most honest way to do it, but Ophelia need not know the truth. Take this to her.
Objectives	Bring Hyacith's Prophecy to Ophelia.
Rewards	3,117 Exp 172 Gold

Forbidden Shrine

Level	33
Quest Giver	Ophelia Bagrans
Briefing	I can give you the location of the Forbidden Shrine, but it is overrun with cursed GBL Hunters. This is Venus's doing, not Lotus. Please promise me you'll be careful. The Shrine has been sealed for decades, so there's no telling what has happened to the cursed souls within...
Objectives	Clear the Forbidden Shrine, and report to Ophelia.
Rewards	93,522 Exp 2,592 Gold

Curse of the Goddess

Level	33
Quest Giver	Ophelia Bagrans
Briefing	Oh, no... You bear the mark of the Venus's curse! I never should have let you near that awful place... Venus's mark awakens your inner demons, turning you into a monster from the inside out. The Hunters on the Behemoth have suffered his fate. You must lift the curse before it overwhelms you. I regret that I cannot help you with his, but perhaps Seria can.
Objectives	Ask Seria how to lift the curse.
Rewards	3,117 Exp 172 Gold

Lifting the Curse

Level	33
Quest Giver	Seria Kirmin
Briefing	Venus the Goddess of Beauty perished a long time ago, but her essence lingered in her temple. It became tainted with the arrival of Lotus, twisting into a nasty curse. We can control it by transferring it to a different medium. Maybe the Crystal of Contempt can contain its power.
Objectives	Bring 40 Crystals of Contempt to Seria in order to lift the curse.
Rewards	105,991 Exp 3,456 Gold

Curse Crystal

Level	33
Quest Giver	Seria Kirmin
Briefing	We need something stronger than the Crystal of Contempt... something like a Curse Crystal. Maybe that can contain such a powerful curse. Bring me Curse Crystals from the Forbidden Shrine.
Objectives	Bring 50 Curse Crystals to Seria in order to lift the curse. (Curse Crystals can be obtained in the Forbidden Shrine on Master's Road or higher)
Rewards	115,343 Exp 4,320 Gold

Purifying the Temple

Level	33
Quest Giver	Seria Kirmin
Briefing	The curse of Venus is using Priest Aslor as its focus. As long as he lives, the curse cannot be weakened or blunted. If you can get the Curse Catalyst from Aslor and give it to Ophelia, she can use her GBL rites to beat the curse.
Objectives	Bring the Curse Catalyst to Ophelia. (The Curse Catalyst can be obtained in the Forbidden Shrine on King's Road, even though it may take a few tries.)
Rewards	3,117 Exp 172 Gold
