==Part 1: Crumbs of Sobbing Starlight==

1. Read the Announcement on a notice board in one of the cities. All the announcements are the same, so it is only necessary to read one.

* [[Alberta]]: (35 241)
* [[Morroc]]: (168 265)
* [[Payon]]: (160 183)
* [[Prontera]]: (147 305)
* [[Geffen]]: (168 175)
* [[Al De Baran]]: (54 223) 

2. Enter a Prontera building (263/275) and talk to the Archeologist Metz {{Navi|prt_in |227|45}} about the announcement. Speak to him again and agree to help him. He mentions Arian, who first tests you for your competency.

:[[File:Thesign-Metz.png]]

3. Go inside a [[Morroc]] building (283/173) and talk to the rogue Arian {{Navi|morocc_in |115|154}} for the first test. He desires the following sets of items ('''bring only the set he asks for each time and NO other sets''', i.e. not 100 {{item |id=914 Fluff}} and 50 {{item |id=7033 Poison Spore}} at the same time. Otherwise, he will take all the quest items and you'll need to recollect):

:[[File:Thesign-Arian.png]]

* {{Item List|id=914 |item=Fluff |num=100 |simple=yes}}
* {{Item List|id=7033 |item=Poison Spore |num=50 |simple=yes}}
* {{Item List|id=904 |item=Scorpion Tail |num=30 |simple=yes}}
* {{Item List|id=930 |item=Rotten Bandage |num=20 |simple=yes}}
* {{Item List|id=1038 |item=Little Evil Horn |num=15 |simple=yes}}
* {{Item List|id=7013 |item=Coral Reef |num=10 |simple=yes}} 

*'''Tip''': Bring everything and drop it on the ground to avoid 600 trips to storage.

4. After Arian has all the items he wanted, speak to the Young Man, Gaanan {{Navi|morocc_in |114|162}} above him. Gaanan will asks 5 questions, to which the answers are:

:[[File:Thesign-Gaanan.png]]

* 1. Stranded on an island: Fourth option
* 2. Stuck in a collapsed building: Fourth option
* 3. Lost in a dungeon: Third option
* 4. A murder is commited: First option
* 5. The world is going to end: Fourth option (save the world) 

After answering correctly, talk to Arian to be rewarded with a {{Item List |id=7177 |item=Crumb of Sobbing Starlight |num=1 |simple=yes}} and 18,000 Base EXP. Now journey to [[Payon]] to find Daewoon for the second test.

* 111 GX received 40,500 Base EXP (VIP)

5. Go inside a Payon building (130/204) and talk to Daewoon, three rooms SOUTH WEST of the entrance {{Navi|payon_in03 |11|31}}. Select any option to "Do you have any idea what that jewel you're holding actually is?" and begin his test. You will receive different EXP based on your response here. Whether you suceed will depend on how much your answers appeal to him. The best choices see below.

:[[File:Thesign-Daewoon.png]]

* 1. Option #1, '''Yes'''
* 2. Option #2, '''I hate people who do that'''
* 3. Option #2, '''I can't destroy such beauty...'''
* 4. Option #1, '''Yes, of course!'''
* 5. Option #1, '''Yes '''

You can take the test again if you failed. If you succeeded, Daewoon then gives you a {{Item List |id=7177 |item=Crumb of Sobbing Starlight |num=1 |simple=yes}} and 18,000 Base EXP, bringing the total to two.

* 111 GX received 40,500 Base EXP (VIP)

*'''Note:''' ''For question 3, the option "Close my eyes and attack/smash it" is also accepted.''

6. Enter the lower right Aldebaran building (223/56) and find Sir Jore {{Navi|aldeba_in |155|101}}. He asks for the following items after he fails his experiment.

*'''Note:''' ''While Sir Jore can only be spoken to start his portion at any time you need to return to him prior to 10pm (Pacific Time) that day. If this time is missed, continue again tomorrow.'' 

:[[File:Thesign-Sir-Jore.png]]

* {{Item List|id=1092|item=Empty Test Tube|num=10 |simple=yes}} (purchasable at tool dealer in Geffen Mage academy)
* {{Item List|id=610|item=Yggdrasil Leaf|num=2 |simple=yes}}
* {{Item List|id=511|item=Green Herb|num=10 |simple=yes}} 

7. After collecting the items, Sir Jore requires information about the Stone of Sage from two famous alchemists. Talk to Piru Piru {{Navi|aldeba_in |156|118}}, just north west from Sir Jore) and she'll reveal the location of the two alchemists: the south forest.

:[[File:Thesign-Piru Piru.png]]

*'''Note:''' ''This step is OPTIONAL, and only exists to give the player some more guidance. You can go straight to step 8.''

8. First, find the daughter Pleur on the second floor of the Hidden Temple {{Navi|prt_maze02 |57|151}}.

:[[File:Thesign-Pleur.png]]

* If entered the maze from prt_fild01: go up, down, left, right, down, up, left, up, up, left to reach the second floor.
* If entered the maze from mjolnir_12 (suggested; one south of Aldebaran): go down, down, left, right, down, up, left, up, up, left to reach the second floor. 

Once near her, one of two things will happen.

* You'll be teleported and catch up with both father and daughter alchemists on the same map, thus completing this portion of the quest.
* You'll become "lost" and be teleported to either (prt_maze01) or (prt_maze03).
: Upon becoming lost, keep finding Pleur until teleported to (prt_maze02). 
: However, finding her again from (prt_maze03) is very difficult and time consuming: 
: it is faster to just return to a save point and come back to the maze again from either (prt_fild01) or (mjolnir_12). 

*'''Note:''' ''It is possible to use Teleport level 1 or Fly Wings to get to the spot where the father and daughter alchemists are. It may take a while, but can potentially be less stressful than getting "lost".'' 

9. Once caught up with them {{Navi|prt_maze02 |14|183}} & {{Navi|prt_maze02 |16|183}}, talk to Gordon and select the second option about the Stone. After that expect to be teleported to one south of [[Aldebaran]] (mjolnir_12).

:[[File:Thesign-Gordon.png]]

10. Tell Sir Jore what was discovered about the Stone of Sage from Gordon. When he asks what the Stone of Sage is, enter the response [Red Gemstone]. He'll hand over the third {{Item List |id=7177 |item=Crumb of Sobbing Starlight |num=1 |simple=yes}} and mentions Jesqurienne in [[Geffen]].

11. Inside the top right Geffen building (168/170) is a female drinker, Jesqurienne {{Navi|geffen_in |59|74}}. Tell her you've heard of her, and then call her a '''stuck-up chick''' to accept her challenge.

:[[File:Thesign-Jesqurienne.png]]

12. Talk to her boyfriend Aaron at the same table to begin the challenge. In order to win, more or equal questions must be answered correctly than Jesqurienne. The ten multiple choice questions presented will also be chosen at random.

:[[File:Thesign-Engel.png]]

7. When you tell Metz the good news, he's very happy you repaired the {{item |id=7178  Sobbing Starlight}}. Unfortunately, he can't read the ancient words inside of it, so he sends you to the Magician, Dhota in [[Geffen]].

8. Go to the [[Geffen]] Tower {{navi|geffen|120|110}} and find Annoyed Man, Dhota {{Navi|gef_tower |118|36}} and the highest floor. Key in the [{{item |id=7178  Sobbing Starlight}}] and he'll ask you to go to Umbala to get the solution instead.

B. Why should I help them. (Shorter quest)

== Part 4a: "Sure, why not?" ==
'''

1. Once "I understand." is selected, track down a kid, Alakina Anne {{Navi|niflheim |169|162}}. She'll cry about wanting to go back home. After talking to her again "About the curse", she'll spew hints.

* Walk near her and let her speak to you first then start clicking her head. 

2. Go next to (don't click on it) the Cursed Spirit, Ashe Bruce {{Navi|niflheim |350|258}}. He senses your strength, select the pull and read the 3rd book. You would be prompt to enter a spell, select the following options: Klaatu, Verata and Nictu (hidden 4th option). It takes a few tries of inputting this spell until his curse is finally broken.

* 4th option is tricky, as it's in white. 

3. When the curse is successfully broken, the Witch's Spell Book will be received.

4. Go near Anne and she'll ask for help to go back. Choose "What can I do?" and then go find the Witch at the Witch Tower.

5. The Witch is in the highest building {{Navi|niflheim |254|191}} in Nifflheim. Follow the carpet in the Piano room and to enter the Witch's Room. DO NOT CLICK ON, but go stand next to the Witch, Kirkena {{Navi|nif_in |188|168}} (if you click on her you will be teleported back to Umbala) so she begins talking. (If she is clicked on, you can wait until the dialogue time-outs, about 60 seconds. The Next button will change to Close and you may try again.) Give her the Witch's Spell Book and choose "There's a lost child here I want to help."

She'll hand over a Wing Of Crow. The only way to escape from her room is to use a Butterfly Wing, Warp Portal, or click her head and be sent to the Umbala Jump Point.

6. Go near Anne and she'll thank you. Then go near the Anne again and she'll say you lied to her, and she still can't go back.

7. Go back to Kirkena for an explanation. She'll say the Wing Of Crow only can be used by living people, which means Anne is dead.

8. You did your best, so you head back and talk to Serin. Even though you can't help Alakina, she still thanks you. And as she promised, she'll give you her important item, {{item |id=2642 Serin's Gold Ring}} as reward. Talk to Serin again and she'll ask you to find Greyryu the Poet.

* Don't equip {{item |id=2642 Serin's Gold Ring}} during the quest, or it'll be confiscated by certain NPCs! 

9. Go inside a [[Nifflheim]] building  (187/241) and you'll find Crayu {{Navi|nif_in |105|81}}. Go near Crayu. After answering a few questions he asks you to find Gen.<br />

10. You find a Depressing Man, Gen {{Navi|niflheim |146|241}} just West of the building you enter. Talk to him and you find out he was the chosen one once, but failed, and he cautions you. He advises you to find the Witch for help.

== Part 4b: "Why Should I Help Them?" ==

1. Once you choose "Why should I help them?," find a Depressing Man, Gen {{Navi|niflheim |146|241}} just West of the building you entered. Talk to him and you find out he was the chosen one once, but failed, and he cautions you. He advises you to find the Witch for help.<br />

2. The Witch is at the highest building (254/191) in Nifflheim. Follow the carpet in the Piano room and you'll enter the Witch's Room. Go near the Witch, Kirkena {{Navi|nif_in |188|168}} and she'll auto talk to you first. She'll ask you to find her Witch's Spell Book.<br />

3. Go near the Cursed Spirit, Ash Bruce {{Navi|niflheim |350|258}}. He senses your strength, select the pull and read the 3rd book. You would be prompt to enter a spell, select the following options: Klaatu, Verata and Nictu (hidden 4th option).

* 4 is tricky, as it's in white. 

4. Go back to the witches castle. Enter the witches room by clicking on the speech bubble next to the portait in the 2nd floor {{Navi|nif_in |139|176}}, return the Witch's Spell Book to Kirkena.

== Part 5: Proving Yourself ==

1. Go near the Witch, Kirkena and she'll tell you about the dangers of the quest. She also tell you to prove yourself is by bringing her the {{Item List|id=7305 |item=Symbol of the Nine Realms|simple=yes}} and asks you to keep it as a secret. Go near her again and she'll ask you to come from the headstone near the stairs on the second floor the next time you visit.

2. Go to Serin. You need to click on her 3 times. She'll tell you thing that the Witch didn't tell you. She also wants you to inform her first-hand once you get the Authority Of Nine World from the Ruler of the Dead and listen to the reasons why she needs these powers.

3. Now go back to the Giant Telescope in West Geffen Field {{Navi|gef_fild07 |182|241}} to teleport to Valkyrie Temple (No need to bring any ingredients). Talk to Valkyrie, Sandra and she'll say she can't help you, but she'll give you support mentally.<br />

4. You're on your own now. So you go back [[Nifflheim]] to find more clues. You find a Mad Man, Laichin {{Navi|niflheim |102|54}} and he seems to have information you need for the quest! But he needs you to pay him twice, 40,000 Zeny and 20,000 Zeny.

5. Listen carefully to the locations he mentions. The locations are random for each person and there are 4 locations you need to go out of a total of 8. Follow the sequence he mentions.

The locations he mentions are in The Lowest Cave of Glast Heim ({{map|id=gl_dun02 gl_dun02}}). Bring a level 4 weapon from before the 10.1 update. [[Sign_Quest/weapons|Click here for a list of pre 10.1 level 4 weapons]]. Keep the weapon in your inventory (not equipped).

6. Once there, click on the Mysterious Environment and it'll pop up with 3 types of message.

* i. The mysterious energy flows out. However, the environment seems to be creepier.
** Wrong sequence. Find another spot. 
* With the weapon you have currently, it's impossible to break the seal.
** Wrong weapon.
* It shakes but there isn't any further response. Maybe it needs a greater impact to be activated.
** Keep clicking the Mysterious Environment.
* Perhaps you need something more powerful. (while having a pre-10.1 update level 4 weapon in your inventory NOT equipped)
** Keep clicking the Mysterious Environment.

7. You'll get a {{Item List|id=7306|item=Piece of Spirit|simple=yes}} once you break the seal. And when you break the fourth seal, you'll get the {{Item List|id=7307 |item=Spiritual Whispers|simple=yes}}. Go back to   Nifflheim and talk to Depressing Man, Gen.

8. Gen will identify himself as a servant to his master, Lady Hell. His master is looking for the Spiritual Whispers and he'll send you to an Unknown Area where his master resides.

9. Head up to the Unknown Area. You'll pass a fountain, but don't click it yet. Curiosity killed the cat. Keep moving upward and you'll find the Queen of the Dead, Lady Hell.

10. Talk to her and she'll give you {{item |id=7305 Symbol of the Nine Realms}} in exchange for the Whisper of Soul.

* You can click the fountain now. If you bring 1 Empty Bottle (and 3 Brigan if playing RO:T Poring Server), you'll exchange for a {{Item List|id=12020|item=Cursed Water|simple=yes}} each time you click the fountain. 

11. Now you have two choices. Either give the {{item |id=7305 Symbol of the Nine Realms}} to:

A. Witch, Kirkena (requires defeating more monsters, but can bring friends to help)

B. Pleasant-Featured Lady, Serin (requires defeating Incarnation of Dark Lord, aka 1 Dark Illusion, with NO help from friends)

== Part 6a: Kirkena the Witch ==

1. If you chose the Witch, Kirkena, go find her in her room through the headstone near the stairs on the second floor.

She'll ask for the {{item |id=7305 Symbol of the Nine Realms}} and explain the reasons she needs it. If you got {{item |id=2642 Serin's Gold Ring}} earlier, she'll take it but will return it later and you can store the ring in kafra now (before that you couldn't store it). After that she'll give you 1 {{Item List|id=7308 |item=Witch's Tonic|simple=yes}} and 5 {{Item List|id=7313 |item=Witch's Medal|simple=yes}}.

* With 5 {{item |id=7313 Witch's Medal}}, you can bring 4 more partners in your party to assist you in defeating the quest monsters later on. You need to talk to the Witch to enter Serin's room before others can follow. In order for the others to help you fight, they will need to talk to the same gravestone that you do in order to get into the witch's room. They will need to have the seal on them. Do not let the extra partners lose any of the {{item |id=7313 Witch's Medal}}, they will need to be returned.

Kirkena found the location of Serin. Once you're ready, Kirkena will send you to a copy of nif_fild02 with many monsters on it: Ghouls, Succubus, Wraiths, Injustices, Evil Druids, and Ancient Mummies, which do not give EXP or drop anything. You must fight your way past them to get to the portal on the other side. Enter it, and you'll be in Serin's room. If you have people helping you, they'll be sent to Serin and must talk to her to get to where you are.

2. You'll find Serin at the Unknown Area. Talk to her and chose "Stop her." 
* If you select the option to change your mind and not stop her, you will fail this quest.

3. Serin will summon monsters to attack you. Try not to stand near her when you talk to her.

You'll need to defeat these monsters:

* 1 {{monster|id=1302 Dark Illusion}}
* 2 {{monster|id=1297 Ancient Mummy}}
* 2 {{monster|id=1192 Wraith}}
* 5 {{monster|id=1036 Ghoul}}

4. Once you beat the monsters, Serin will reappear. She'll tell you she's happy that she met you and she'll give up her dream and live peacefully in Nifflheim. Later on she'll send you back to the Witch's room. There is a 10 minute time limit on this battle. Every time you are kicked from the room due to a loss or a time out, there is a chance that you will fail the quest.

5. If you fail, the Nifflheim NPCs will no longer talk to you.

== Part 6b: Serin the Pleasant-Featured Lady ==

1. If you chose Pleasant-Featured Lady, Serin, go find Serin and she explains that the witch is going to summon Dark Lord which will devastate the world, instead, to pass her the {{item |id=7305 Symbol of the Nine Realms}} to stop the witch. She'll send you directly to her room.

2. In the room listen to her reasons for using the {{item |id=7305 Symbol of the Nine Realms}}. Serin has tricked you and she was the one who wanted to summon Dark Lord and so you must "Stop her". After talking to her, Dark Lord will appear. Talk to him and 1 Dark Illusion is summoned to attack you. There is a 10 minute time limit on this battle. Every time you are kicked from the room due to a loss or a time out, there is a chance that you will fail the quest.
* If you select the option to change your mind and not stop her, you will fail this quest.

3. Once you beat the Dark Illusion, Serin will reappear. She'll tell you she's happy that she met you and she'll give up her dream and live peacefully in Nifflheim. Later on she'll send you back to the Witch's room.

== Part 7: The Sign ==

1. Talk to Kirkena and she's happy you stopped Serin. You'll get 500,000 (113 GX received 1,125,000 Base EXP; VIP) experience points as a reward. And she asks you to talk to Lady Hell once more. (if you took the witch path above, you need to have all 5 {{item |id=7313 Witch's Medal}} in your inventory)

* Note: '''If you took the path 6a''', Serin (in Nifflehiem town) will give you 500,000 base exp (1,125,000 VIP; 113 GX) if you return her ring to her (if you took the path that gave it). This must be done before talking to Lady Hell, otherwise Serin will tell you "....." and /sob. 

* Note2: You can re-enter kirkena room by using the picture near the stairs portal. 

2. Talk to Depressing Man, Gen to enter to Lady Hell room. When you meet Lady Hell, she won't have much to say to you.

3. Next, go the Valkyrie Temple and talk to Sandra. She's happy that you can complete the quest, and proved your courage to God. She'll give you {{item |id=7314 The Sign}} as proof that you are God's Chosen One. You'll be able to enter Valhalla with {{Item List|id=7314 |item=The Sign|simple=yes}}.

4. Go back to [[Prontera]] and pass {{item |id=7314 The Sign}} to Metz. He's pretty excited when you pass The Sign to him and he is glad you completed the quest. He'll start to study The Sign.

* Metz takes some time to study {{item |id=7314  The Sign}}. Come back after 2 hours.
*On RE:Start and Transcendence, take note of the time you turned in the quest and use this chart to determine what time you will be able to pick up the sign. This time will be the *only* time of day available for pick up every day. If you miss the window of opportunity one day, the same time period will be available the next day. Be careful of what time you turn it in so that it isn't available at a time you won't be able to go back to pick it up.

[[File:Signtimes.png]]

5. After taking The Sign, Metz asks you to bring it to Engel Howard {{Navi|mjo_dun02 |88|295}} to fix it.

* Engel takes some time to fix {{Item List|id=2644 |item=The Sign|simple=yes}} (into an equippable accessory). Come back after 2 hours.
*RE:Start and Transcendence use the same image for Metz to determine the pickup window.

6. Bring {{item |id=2644  The Sign}} back to Metz. After he finds out the truth of The Sign, his wish is fulfilled. He will then give you 2,000,000 base EXP (114 GX received 4,500,000 Base EXP - VIP).

*It should be noted that the 5% [[ATK]] that {{item |id=2644  The Sign}} gives is a boost similar to a racial or elemental card, not a straight ATK boost. (aka, the ATK portion of The Sign will not affect skills like [[Soul Destroyer]], [[High Speed Cart Ram]] or [[Grand Cross]])

* Note: You may return {{item |id=2642 Serin's Gold Ring}} to Serin during this time before you talk to Lady Hell the final time. '''(If you did 6a at this point however, you will unable to return it if you didn't return it earlier at step 1. Otherwise Serin will just be "..." and /...)'''

7. Bring {{item |id=2644  The Sign}} and {{item |id=7178  Sobbing Starlight}} to Gen {{Navi|niflheim |146|241}}. Gen will warp you to his Master's room. Meet Lady Hell and pass the {{item |id=7178  Sobbing Starlight}} to her. Then sit back and watch the fireworks display! After the fancy display, Lady Hell will give you {{Item List|id=7025 |item=Lucifer's Lament|simple=yes}}. (Lucifer's Lament is storagable, which means you may use it on any character.)

8. Go to the [[Geffen]] Fountain and click on it to enter Geffenia. The portal will open temporarily North of the Fountain, and anyone regardless of class, level, or having done the quest may enter it. Be warned however that this map has strong monsters.

== Failing the Quest ==
If you fail the quest, you have the following options:
* Submit a support ticket to the server you play on. They may be able to reset the quest or rollback your progress. However, this may take a long time.
* Do the quest on another character. Remember all your characters will have access to Lucifer's Lament.
* Delete your character and start all over.
