He will tell you he has big plans to restore Colony 6, and asks you to bring back the refugees from the Refugee Camp. Raguel Bridge is overrun with monsters, so you will need to defeat the enemies on the bridge so the refugees have safe passage back to Colony 6. The fight is quite tough, first you’ll have to fight several level 30 Black Smoke Hox. Then once they’re defeated, a greater quantity of level 32 White Smoke Hox arrive on the bridge. Fortunately, if you die to the White Smoke Hox, you won’t have to fight the Black Smoke Hox again. Once you’ve defeated the 6 White Hox, head over to Juju in the Refugee Camp.

To Colony 6!

Client Rewards Affinity

Other than some extra gold and experience, everything from the other quest remains the exact same. You will be fighting six level 30 Black Smoke Hoxes, then six White Smoke Hoxes, all on the Raguel Bridge. Since you should be a much higher level than them, they should be pushovers. Once you clear those all out, report to Juju at the Refugee Camp to finish the quest and begin your reconstruction effort for Colony 6.

Once in Makna Forest, you will need to find the landmark and Secret Area, Divine Sanctuary. To find this you must first head southwest from Waypoint Beacon and you’ll find yourself climbing up a large tree. Navigate yourself across the branches and jump down onto a path that leads to a tunnel that heads west on the map. After a short walk, you’ll pop out on a cliff edge. From here you’ll be able to spot another cave tunnel. In both of these tunnels you will have to face some level 32 Teneb Vangs. Once you’ve reached the end of the tunnel, you’ll reach the Secret Area. This area has a gorgeous panorama of the Great Makna Falls.

She will be on the lower levels of the Splintered Path near Colony 6. In front of her is the quest-exclusive monster, Lazy Hox.

What is Courage?

Client Rewards Affinity
Ewan 3700G, 650 EXP, Daze Tension III None

After completing What is Love?!, Ewan will tell you that he needs to go on an adventure to gain courage. He will need some protection from you and your party, so you will need to accompany him. There are two possible areas that you can go to help Ewan, but both endings are exactly the same, so the outcome won’t be different.

  • Ether Mine (Route A) - Head down a narrow tunnel south of Test Pit 1 to the Secret Area called Glowmoss Lake (if you have already found this area then just fast travel to the landmark). When you reach the lake, you will see Ewan cowering in a corner and the quest-exclusive level 29 monster, Elegant Marinn by his side. Defeat the monster and talk to Ewan to complete the quest.

  • Satorl Marsh (Route B) - If you want a tougher fight, then head over to the Glowing Obelisk landmark and make your way over to Soter Ruins. Be careful here, there are several high level enemies here that will attack you on sight. Cross the first bridge in Soter Ruins then head west towards a narrow bit of land between the cliff and the lake below. You will find Ewan being attacked by the quest-exclusive level 33 monster, Hungry Volff. Once defeated, speak to Ewan to complete the quest.

Matryona’s Answer?

Client Rewards Affinity
Matryona 4500G, 700 EXP, Blaze Attack II (A), Blaze Defence III (B) 2✰

After completing What is Courage?!, you’ll find Matryona outside Reconstruction HQ at 21:00 and she wants to send her reply to Ewan in the form of a painting. There are two possible items you can track down for her which will impact the relationship between the two.

  • Lake Drop (Route A) - Return to Bionis’ Leg and journey to Raguel Lake in order to find the Lake Drop. It is on the shoreline in the southeast corner of the lake, just north of the Tranquil Grotto area.

  • Nasty Weed (Route B) - For the more negative ending, make your way to Satorl Marsh’s Crown Tree landmark and head east to find the item. It should be noted that taking the B route will end in worse Affinity between Ewan and Matryona and should be avoided if possible.

Chemist’s Reopening

Client Rewards Affinity
Olga 3600G, 620 EXP, Recovery Up II None

Speak to Olga at Reconstruction HQ and she will inform you that she wishes to reopen the Chemist’s Shop and in order to do so, she’ll need your assistance in tracking down some ingredients.

For the Restoration and Making a New Path

Client Rewards Affinity
Gorman 4400G, 680 EXP, Spike III None

Gorman has asked that you fetch the Divine Rock from the top of Spiral Valley, so that he can perform a ceremony to ensure Colony 6’s reconstruction is safe. He tells you that a fierce monster is blocking the path to the Divine Rock. Once you have finished speaking to him, you will activate another quest from him, called Making a New Path. If you would prefer to avoid the monster, then you should follow the instructions for the second quest. You will most likely want to avoid the monster since the Unique enemy, Immovable Gonzalez is level 90. If you are able to fight him, then the Divine Rock is just up a ramp that’s right behind him. You’ll be able to retrieve it and return to Gormon to complete the quest.

Making a New Path - if you choose to avoid fighting the monster, then head over to the Ether Mine to collect 3 pieces of Dynamite so that Gorman can destroy boulders and create a new path to the Divine Rock that avoids the enemy. The dynamite can be found near Test Pit 2, Test Pit 3 and Test Pit 4. Once collected, head back to Gorman in Colony 6 to complete the Making a New Path quest.

Once Gorman has used the dynamite, you will be able to retrieve the Divine Rock without having to defeat the Immovable Gonzalez first. He will blow up a spiral pathway that begins in Windy Cave. To get to he spiral pathway, you’ll have to walk through the tunnels to Windy Cave, which can be a tricky task in itself. Take care to avoid all of the high level monsters, including Pandora Pods and Admiral Arachno, who will attack you if they hear you. Once you’ve reached the main area of Windy Cave, the spiral pathway up to the Divine Rock should be right in front of you. You’ll emerge from the pathway right behind the monster, then all you have to do is walk up a ramp to the Divine Rock. Return to Gorman to complete the quest.

He will ask you to fetch him 6 Flier Wings and 7 Flier Straws both obtained from Fliers. Flier Wings are obtained from Fliers in Colony 6 and Flier Straws are dropped by Fliers on the Bionis’ Leg. Clima and Colony Fliers are found during the day near Watchpoint Junction. Flier Wings are a rare drop so you will have to farm for a while to obtain 6 of them. But this should be relatively easy if you just keep fast travelling to the Watchpoint Junction landmark and killing Fliers until you have the required amount. Flier Straws are also a rare drop, but if you travel to Jabos Rock Rest Area on the Gaur Plain then you should find a fair few Fine Fliers around. You will likely have to use the same fast travel technique to farm enough of the Flier Straws too. Once you have all the required materials, return to Werner in Colony 6 to finish the quest.

He wants to teach her a lesson and has asked you to collect Smelly Perfume from the Poison Swamp in Satorl Marsh. This quest has two routes, each one yields a different reward.

  • Collect Smelly Perfume (Route A) - If you choose this route then you want to head to Poison Swamp in Satorl Marsh. You will have to swim through the poison and this will damage you over time, so be careful not to stay in the poison for too long. Once retrieved, head back to Nopo’rikh to complete the quest. The affinity between him and Ma’crish will change to a negative link labelled, I’m Free!

  • Report to Ma’crish (Route B) - If you choose this route then head over to Ma’crish and tell her of Nopo’rikh’s plan. She will ask you to fetch some Pure Perfume instead, to trick Nopo’rikh.
