King Darkonis' Diary's Quests

Quest Location: First Observatory
Quests Begun From: King Darkonis' Diary
Requirement: Must have completed the 'Liebestraume No. 3' quest.
Note: These quests can only be completed once.

Aries Tammuz

You will notice a library when you enter the Observatory. Our family did not build the entire structure. The first King merely built around the ancient ruins. Above is the real Observatory. Move past the shelves until you reach a locked door. There is a contraption on the wall that resembles a button. Press it to unlock the door. Do not be alarmed when you feel a sting. It is taking a sample of your blood to verify that you are of royal lineage.

+ When Completed

It will take some time for the Observatory to confirm you are the descendant of Alprecha's husband. I do not understand the inner workings myself, but the scholars of old copied the mechanisms and reverse engineered them. This is why much of our security is more sophisticated than iron locks and keys.

Items Required:

• Find Door Button x1
  • Click on the Door Button on Screen 4

Rewards:

• 0 Gold
• 5,000 Exp

Scorpio

Requirement: Must have completed the previous quest.

Be aware of your surroundings. The Observatory became forbidden to all but the ruler of Astravia. As you may have noticed, neither I nor my predecessors were able to keep beasts from taking shelter inside. Activating the door would have made a lot of noise. I assume the scorpions will scuttle towards the source. Crush them or else they'll be a nuisance later.

+ When Completed

Other Kings and Queens feared scorpions, spiders, and all manner of poisonous creatures. The Astravian ruler was blessed with the protection of Alprecha. I could enjoy my meals without worry. A peasant would fall ill instead of me. But I still hated scorpions. The magic that protected me did not yet extend to you. Then there's Drago. He would pretend to have been poisoned to get attention. Eventually, I began ignoring him.

Items Required:

• Crushed Scorpions x8
  • Dropped by Astra Scorpio

Rewards:

• 6,500 Gold
• 20,000 Exp

Leo

Requirement: Must have completed the previous quest.

Lions prowl the snow fields surrounding the Observatory. They use our hallowed grounds as their den. Normally, they won't pay you any mind if they see that you're too much trouble to hunt. After fighting off the scorpions, they will begin stalking you, believing you are weakened. Fight them off. I know they'll be nothing to you.

+ When Completed

There is speculation that before receiving Alprecha's blessing, our ancestors greatest achievements were defeating wild beasts. Lion pelts were mounted and worn like trophies. Then, the Grand Star turned her gaze to us. The hides of the lions were soon replaced by the heads of foreign rulers. I find the practice quite tacky, so you won't find such trophies littering our castle's halls.

Items Required:

• Lions Slain x8
  • Dropped by Astra Leo

Rewards:

• 6,500 Gold
• 20,000 Exp

Lugal-irra Meslamta-ea

Requirement: Must have completed the previous quest.

Once the door to the depths unlocks, take the utmost amount of care. The moment you ascend the ladder, be ready to fight and run. Turrets, the original models from which our castle's security system is based on, will take aim and shoot at you. Their self repair systems are incredibly quick. Destroy the two turrets repeatedly until the self repair systems become stalled.

+ When Completed

Those two turrets have guarded the path to the inner sanctum for centuries. The first King and his scholars managed to take apart a third turret. They used it to reverse-engineer our own guns and motion detection technology. Alas, the self repair systems were too complicated to replicate perfectly.

Items Required:

• Ascend Ladder x1
  • Go to Screen 6
• Turrets Destroyed x8
  • Dropped by Ancient Turret (Monster)

Rewards:

• 6,500 Gold
• 20,000 Exp

Virgo Shala

Requirement: Must have completed the previous quest.

It will only become more dangerous from this point onwards. Many of your deceased ancestors lost their chance at the crown because they rushed forward without care. Take caution and scout ahead. Learn and become accustomed to these strange surroundings without alerting the…creatures.

+ When Completed

Have you noticed the substance that coats the floor and clings to the walls? It may seem strange or even disgusting to you, but do not fear. This is the embrace of the Grand Star, a sign that you are getting closer to her heart. It sprang from the same well that nourished the soil and protected Astravia from starvation.

Items Required:

• Scout Area x1
  • Go to Screen 8

Rewards:

• 0 Gold
• 5,000 Exp

Sagittarius Pabilsag

Requirement: Must have completed the previous quest.

The creatures that drag their malformed limbs around the halls of the observatory are fearsome, but pitiful. Now that you have scouted the area and watched them from afar, cut the creatures down. They will chase you if you try to get into the inner sanctum behind the locked hatch. Best to hunt them, and save the carcasses for later.

+ When Completed

The first King was perfectly compatible with the Grand Star, and Astravia flourished from their union. We are special and worthy of her love. These creatures are the result of what happens when the unworthy receive Alprecha's blessing. No one knows what they were before they were twisted into these creatures. I imagine it will remain so until the end of time.

Items Required:

• Creatures Hunted x8
  • Dropped by Ancient Creature

Rewards:

• 6,500 Gold
• 20,000 Exp

Libra Shamash

Requirement: Must have completed the previous quest.

There exists a record in the Observatory called a Black Box. One that refers to the Observatory as a ship instead of a building. How strange, the ship supposedly traversed the stars instead of the sea. I can not fathom the idea of a ship journeying beyond Lore let alone make sense of what was happening in this Black Box. Read the record if you wish. Perhaps you will see a truth that I could not.

+ When Completed

The Shadowscythe and dragons. They're terms I have heard of but the Black Box confuses me. Its contents are not consistent with current records. There's a possibility of the data being so ancient that both groups have changed beyond recognition. Dragons… there are none in Astravia. They forsook our lands and flew far away. A regret I have is not meeting a dragon myself. I wonder if you will meet one during your lifetime.

Items Required:

• Remove Red Substance x1
  • Click on the red substance on the monitor on Screen 7
• View Black Box x1
  • Click on the monitor on Screen 7

Rewards:

• 0 Gold
• 5,000 Exp

Auriga

Requirement: Must have completed the previous quest.

The final locked door lies between you and our origins. This barrier held such importance that the first King's men risked and sacrificed their lives to modify it. No longer can it be opened by a key or code. It will only open when it detects that a sufficient amount of blood has been shed. If the amount of creatures you have slain is not enough, bring more limbs until the door recognizes your strength. If the turrets reactivate, destroy them again.

+ When Completed

Finally, the path to a new age opens. If need be, take a moment to breathe and reflect. Everything is about to change. Remember, you entered the Observatory as a Prince. You will leave with your head held high as a King.

Items Required:

• Creature Limbs x5
  • Dropped by Ancient Creature
• Turret Parts x5
  • Dropped by Ancient Turret (Monster)

Rewards:

• 6,500 Gold
• 20,000 Exp

Pisces Alrescha

Requirement: Must have completed the previous quest.
Note: This quest can also be turned in with Alprecha.

The first King rests under his telescope. He returned to the observatory, hoping to find and reunite with his Queen. Pay your respects to your ancestor, and continue to the heart of the Observatory. Before you will be a gate. Beyond rests the truth of Astravia's birth and yours. Touch the monitor by the gate, and brace yourself.

+ When Completed

I do not know what more I can say to help or console you. Hopefully, I was able to convey my joy for your ascension in person instead of on a page. Farewell, King Darkon. Though the ground below and the stars above may shift and change, you will always be my beloved son.

Items Required:

• Touch Telescope x1
  • Click on the telescope on Screen 9
• Interact with Monitor x1
  • Talk to Alprecha on Screen 10

Rewards:

• 0 Gold
• 5,000 Exp
