2. A guide on Thanatos Tower 2F tha_t02231161 blocks the entrance to 3F. You will need to gather 5 or more players near the Entrance Guide NPC for the guide open the door to 3F.
   • It's not required that you be in the same party to enter. If you have not received the quest from step 1, you will not be able to enter this portal.
3. On 3F tha_t036667 you'll find a Rune Device in the southwest corner.
   • Using a Lv. 4 weapon, you can pry the device open, obtaining a Red Key.
4. On 4F tha_t04191195 you'll find a second Rune Device in the northeast corner tha_t04185188 is sufficient if you walked from the portal.
   • The device is visible from outside the wall.
   • The mechanism can be opened by solving a puzzle, similar to mastermind if you've ever played it.
   • The machine will guess 3 numbers between 1 and 9 (none repeating), and you will be required to crack the password.
   • Each round you can guess 3 numbers from 1-9 (no repeats) and the machine will inform you how many of the numbers you chose were correct and in the proper location, and how many numbers are correct but not in the right location.
   • You have 5 rounds to guess the correct code or you will be required to restart. When you correctly complete this puzzle, you will obtain a Yellow Key.
   • Note: if you'd like help finding the number, try this site.
5. On 5F tha_t0559178 in the top left corner, click the Eagle Statue.

6. On 6F tha_t06226226 in the very northeast corner, there will be a Gorgeous Statue.
   • The dialog lets you adjust 5 wheels. You will want to adjust them so that they are all in the same configuration, one solution is:
     • First Wheel - Option 1
     • Second Wheel - Option 2
     • Third Wheel - Option 3
     • Fourth Wheel - Option 1
     • Fifth Wheel - Option 1
   • Here you will obtain the Green Key.

   • The Black Key will transform itself into the Black Charm Stone.

   • Players who would like to access the 7-9th floor for hunting purposes only need to complete the quest up to this point. However, since the Black Key is transformed into a Charm Stone upon entering the 7th floor, players will need to discard it (by selling to an NPC) and repeat the 7th step before entering 7F for every journey.
