Walkthrough

  • Speak with Gumbah on the upper floor of the house at Bastok Mines (J-7). You need to cross the bridge to find him. Speaking to him will trigger a cutscene involving Zeid.
  • Travel to the Palborough Mines (make sure to check your quest log before heading out).
  • Head to the elevator at (I-8), which is accessed from eastern side of the river. Ride the elevator to reach the third floor.
  • Proceed to the boat at (H-8).
  • Get on the boat and pull the lever to zone into Zeruhn Mines and receive a cutscene and the Chaosbringer, a level 1 Great Sword.
    • Anyone can pull the lever, you need only make the trip.
    • If you drop the Chaosbringer, you may take the boat in Palborough Mines once more to receive another.
  • Kill 100 enemies with Chaosbringer equipped. It doesn't matter what you kill, as long as the sword is equipped and deals the final blow with a standard/critical melee strike.
    • A tip to make this less tedious: Pick up a lvl 1 Greatsword and make two macros to swap between it and the Chaosbringer for the final few hits. EX: /equip main "Rusty Greatsword" and /equip main "Chaosbringer".
  • Once you have defeated 100 enemies, take the blade and zone into Beadeaux for a cutscene to unlock Dark Knight.

The 100 Kills

  • New HorizonXI level 1 mobs count towards the total as of Patch_Notes:_October_6th_2023. Has been confirmed, see Talk:Blade of Darkness.
  • Enemies do not need to give experience points for them to count toward the 100 total, including Too Weak mobs.
  • For it to count as a kill, the finishing blow must be made through a regular or critical strike with the Chaosbringer.
    As long as the finishing blow is dealt with the Chaosbringer, the method(s) used to damage the monster are irrelevant.
  • Nothing resets the kill count (other than dropping the blade); you may change areas, jobs, weapons, get K.O.'d, etc.
