Quests Available After Reaching Valak Mountain

Giant Attack!

Client Rewards Affinity
Lalapa 7200G, 5400 EXP, League Leggings None

To activate this quest, you must have completed the quest Bridge Repair in Makna Forest, which is available once you reach the Pod Landing Site landmark and are on your way to Valak Mountain. Once the bridge has been repaired, the Orlugas think it’s the perfect time to attack! Lalapa has asked you to defeat 3 Ashy Orlugas that have made their way to Nopon Arch in Makna Forest. Head over to Nopon Arch (fast travel if you wish) and defeat the 3 Orluga enemies. Once you’ve dealt with them, head back to Lalapa to complete the quest.

Mystery of Makna Ruins 1

Client Rewards Affinity
Lupa 5500G, 3800 EXP, Amethyst Gear, Lightning Attack II 2✰

To unlock this quest, you must have already completed Kind Lupa’s Grampypon. Once you have reached Valak Mountain and have a 2✰ affinity with Frontier Village, Lupa will give you this quest. She needs to find some Ancient Documents that will allow her to open the doors to Makna Ruins. She has asked you to find the documents, which are scattered across Makna Forest, for her. You will find one of the documents beneath Bridge Three, in an alcove next to the river. The second Ancient Document can be located on the other side of Bridge Two. The last document is found northwest of the Pod Landing Site landmark. Take care when going for the last document, since there are a few enemies guarding it, including a big, nasty Suelo Orluga. You could sneak around him but you will likely have to fight your way to the final Ancient Document.

Once you have obtained all three documents, head back to Lupa to complete the quest.

The Suelo Orluga is a giant Orluga-type enemy.

Mystery of Makna Ruins 2

Client Rewards Affinity
Lupa 6200G, 5300 EXP, Amethyst Gauntlets, Blaze Attack II 2✰

Once you have completed Mystery of Makna Ruins 1 you should be able to immediately pick this quest up. Lupa will ask you to recite a prayer in front of King Agni’s Tomb so that the tomb may open. The path to King Agni’s Tomb is just south of the Valak Pass landmark in Makna Forest. The path is guarded by another Suelo Orluga but once you have gotten past it, you will reach the Secret Area of King Agni’s Tomb. In front of the large, sealed door is an altar for you to recite the prayer at. Once you have done that the doors will open. You will notice that there are several dead bodies strewn across the floor as you make your way into the tomb. Once you reach the main room, you will come across the level 46 unique monster, Brutal Gravar who will be sat on the very tomb you wish to investigate. You can sneak around him if you have equipped some earth cloak gems, however, you will likely have to fight him. He is quite a tough fight since he is probably going to be a couple levels higher than you and his Arts pack a punch. Once you have either sneaked past him or defeated him, then investigate the tomb by pressing ‘A’. After investigating the tomb, head back to Lupa to tell her what you have found. Talking to Lupa will complete the quest.

There is a slight chance that Brutal Gravar may also have respawned and you will likely have to fight him again to reach the tomb. When you reach the tomb, use the oil by pressing ‘A’. You can then walk down into a small room with a Giants’ Treasure Chest. The chest contains an Eater Records and Battle Soul book.
