Quests

In Search of Bwanga

Level	49
Quest Giver	Michelle Monohan

Rewards	157,827 Exp 4,860 Gold

Infected Monsters

Level	49
Quest Giver	Michelle Monohan
Briefing	"Michelle: We must find both of them quickly. What do we do? If only I was stronger... If only I knew better..." Mintai: "Michelle, don't blame yourself. The Chief will never succumb to the Nightmare. He must feel bad by now, for making you worry so much. Ah, I came to ask you two for a favor. Have you felt the tension in the air?" Michelle: "All right. Why, do you think the Nightmare is escalating?" Mintai: "I don't know. That's why I need your help. Tough Dungeon Fighter, the Nightmare you visited this time must be of monsters whose nature has been tainted by something evil. I want to cleanse their minds. Would you help me?"
Objectives	Collect the following items from Glaia, Faytuus, Ice Spirit Shuske, and Soul Eater in the Contagious Area. Dirty Embers: 0/1 Dirty Ice Piece: 0/1 Dirty Shadow Fragment: 0/1 Dirty Light Grain: 0/1
Upon Completion	Mintai: "Thank you. They were once beautiful Spirits. I hope purging them will quiet down the Nightmare."
Rewards	157,827 Exp Purged Spirit Ring

Monsters That Should Not Exist

Level	49
Quest Giver	Michelle Monohan
Briefing	Michelle: "Mintai and Valena comforted me even though they're worried about the Chief as much as I am. Now I feel bad for being so impatient and emotional. After I talked to you, I checked the Nightmare and noticed something strange: I keep seeing monsters that should not be in the Nightmare. Aganzo and Bwanga didn't tell me they sealed those monsters. I double-checked and confirmed they're not sealed. Then, why are they in there? Would you help me find out?"
Objectives	Defeat the Boss Monster of the Contagious Area on Hard or a higher level.
Upon Completion	Michelle: "It's as strong as the real one? The real one...?"
Rewards	210,436 Exp 9,720 Gold

Nightmare Seed

Level	49
Quest Giver	Michelle Monohan
Briefing	Michelle: "Do you remember the Nightmare Seeds we saw while exterminating the Foundation of the Nightmares? When the Nightmare Seeds are gone, so are the monsters. And that made me wonder if the Foundation of the Nightmare really had complete control over the Nightmare. Maybe the Nightmare is completely different from what we think it is. Would you bring me some Nightmare Seeds? I want to test a theory."
Objectives	Collect Nightmare Seeds from monsters in the Contagious Area. Nightmare Seed: 0/50
Upon Completion	Michelle: "Thank you. We're now one step closer to the truth. Oh, Mintai was looking for you. Why don't you go to her?"
Rewards	4,860 Exp 157,827 Gold

Summoning Through Dreams

Level	49
Quest Giver	Mintai
Briefing	Mintai: "Dungeon Fighter, I just had a dream. I was following a sad song that I heard before. The next thing I know, I was inside the village. Then, I heard a voice. It was different from the singing voice, but warm and soft just the same." <Player>: "...Maybe he's your future boyfriend." Mintai: "No, it's not that. He called me by my name and said, 'Bring the person to me.' Then, I woke up, and I've been thinking he meant you."
Objectives	Enter Prophetic Dream and meet the person that Mintai mentioned.
Upon Completion	Orca: "Yes, I called you."
Rewards	5,260 Exp 324 Gold
Notes	Enter the boss room in Prophetic Dream and talk to Orca to complete the quest. The Prophetic Dream takes the form of Pre-Metastasis Storm Pass.

Brusque Man

Level	49
Quest Giver	Orca
Briefing	Orca: "You heard my warning, and yet you came back. Why? I told you to leave our land. This land belongs to us Bantus. No one, not even the Empire and the Principality, can take it from us. Skasa in our backyard is scarier than all of you combined. I'll say one more time: leave. That's the last warning you'll get from Bantu Second-in-command Orca."
Objectives	Exit Prophetic Dream and relay your conversation with the person to Mintai.
Upon Completion	Mintai: "Did you say Orca? Have you seen Orca? Was the voice Orca's?!"
Rewards	5,260 Exp 324 Gold

Bantu Second-in-Command Orca

Level	49
Quest Giver	Mintai
Briefing	Mintai: "Orca is Bwanga's younger brother and second-in-command of the Bantu. He's our leader when Bwanga is away. He has no business in there... Um, I don't know. You've never seen him before, and yet you know exactly how he looks. This can't be a coincidence. Let me find Bwanga's letter. I think I have one he gave to every one of us before we fled from the Great Devotion."
Objectives	Wait while Mintai searches for Bwanga's letter. Receive the letter.
Upon Completion	Mintai: "Thank you for waiting. This is the letter. This this and Orca will accept you."
Rewards	5,260 Exp 324 Gold

Letter to Orca

Level	49
Quest Giver	Mintai
Briefing	Mintai: "Orca would listen to the sounds of snow, so... ...Why don't you just go check that place? I don't know enough to tell you what I think is happening."
Objectives	Deliver Bwanga's letter from Mintai to Orca. Bwanga's Letter: 1/1 Meet Orca: 0/1
Upon Completion	Orca: "My brother's letter? Why do you have his letter? ...It really is his letter. All right, if my brother trusts you, so can I. You may stay here. Let me know if I can help."
Rewards	5,260 Exp 324 Gold

Proof of Strength

Level	49
Quest Giver	Orca
Briefing	Orca: "My brother? He's absent. I don't know where he is. Why do you ask? He's with Aganzo? Isn't he the swordsman that went to the Screaming Cavern with Bwanga? Hm. Are you planning to join them for their quest to defeat the Apostle? You don't look that strong. *Chuckle* I was joking. I'm sorry, but I don't trust you enough to tell you where my brother and his comrade are. If you want to know, then you must bring me proof of your strength."
Objectives	Find an item that can prove your strength to Orca in Prophetic Dream. (Defeat Death Dragon Spirazzi's Head in the Contagious Area on any difficulty level.) Ominous Bone: 0/1
Upon Completion	Orca: "A dragon bone...! All right, I acknowledge your strength. My brother trusts you and you're strong. I'll treat you as a friend of the Bantus."
Rewards	157,827 Exp 4,860 Gold Cold Health Potion x5 Cold Mana Potion x5

Orca's Help

Level	49
Quest Giver	Orca
Briefing	Orca: "Bwanga rarely stays in the village, and I don't know exactly where he is. I can guess which direction he left, though. Do you see the small mountain to the north? Go over there and turn northeast. That's all I can tell you."
Objectives	Relay Orca's message to Michelle.
Upon Completion	Michelle: "Welcome back. I just finished analyzing the Nightmare Seeds."
Rewards	5,260 Exp 324 Gold

Nightmare in the Dirty Place

Level	49
Quest Giver	Michelle Monohan
Briefing	Michelle: "Listen. The Nightmare is not an ordinary place. It's a world created in the subconscious of the dreamer, and it's filled with his memories of people, places, and everything else. The monsters and people you met in there attacked you, not because they lost their minds to the influence of the Great Metastasis, but because they thought you're intruding. And that's what the Foundation of the Nightmare wants. You've met Orca in that Nightmare. If he's part of the Nightmare, he considers you and Bwanga as intruders. We won't know for sure until we confront him. Let's go find him."
Objectives	Follow Michelle to the Contagious Area and eliminate the Foundation of the Nightmare on Hard level. (You can only go on this quest alone.) Foundation of the Nightmare: 0/1
Dungeon Dialogue	*Upon encountering the Foundation of the Nightmare* Foundation of the Nightmare: "...Who's dreaming the nightmares?" Michelle: "What does that mean?" *The Foundation of the Nightmare leaves* "Who's dreaming nightmares? Of course, they are..." *Upon defeating the Foundation of the Nightmare* Foundation of the Nightmare: "Who's dreaming the nightmares--you or them? Find the answer, or you'll never find anything on this end."
Upon Completion	Michelle: "You followed Orca's directions to Bwanga and encountered the Foundation of the Nightmare instead. Do you think he set you up? And what did the Foundation of the Nightmare mean by saying that?"
Rewards	210,436 Exp 6,480 Gold
Notes	The dungeon is shortened. Caution: Rooms are filled with Black Plague which inflict heavy burn damage to targets hit. Black Plague jump onto nearby targets. Michelle will burn nearby Black Plague and heal you. Michelle's aura will protect you from damage. Michelle's aura circle grants buffs to allies. Michelle's Lasher skill grants either stealth and/or bonus casting/attack/movement speed. Although, Michelle is technically your ally, she can be hit by your attacks and skills. Plan your attacks and skills accordingly.
