Walkthrough
- Go to Cid's Lab in the Metalworks and talk to Cid to hear comments about the Darksteel Formula you found during the Dark Legacy quest. Raibaht informs Cid that Zeid sent him a letter indicating that he found one of the weapons forged by Gerwitz, the legendary darksteel smith, but it has taken the form of an evil weapon. You must meet Zeid and help him with his task.
You can be on any job from here on.
- Obtain a Darksteel Ingot (only one is needed per group).
- Zone into Ordelle's Caves from La Theine Plateau for a cutscene where Zeid comes up to you and tells you that a merchant who had been in the caves was attacked by Gerwitz's Axe.
- Take the east path and head towards (I-8)
- When ready, trade the Darksteel Ingot to the ??? next to the stalagmite and spawn Gerwitz's Axe.
- Kill Gerwitz's Axe and it will drop Gerwitz's Axe (Item).
- Note: If you die and must leave the zone you will need another Darksteel Ingot to repop.
- Note: Gerwitz's Axe has bad evasion and low defense but has near perfect accuracy and can hit pretty hard.
(DO NOT attempt to shadow/evade tank). Successfully solo'd as 75THF/NIN with full Haste Gear; was nowhere near in danger by the time I killed it. - Note: Gerwitz's Axe's melee attacks have an added Drain TP effect.
- Note:
Gerwitz's Axe will not aggro if spawned with sneak.. Confirmed incorrect; popped Silent Oil before spawning, still aggro'd.
- After obtaining Gerwitz's Axe (Item), take the south passage in (H-9) which climbs upwards.
- After you finish climbing, head all the way south to the hole at (H-12). Drop down the hole.
- After landing, do not drop off the ledge you land upon. Go slightly north-east to the path at (I-11)and you'll find yourself at (J-8) third map.
- Follow the path up the stairs. Go south at the fork until you reach (H-8).
- Spawn Gerwitz's Sword by trading Gerwitz's Axe (Item) to the ??? found between the cluster of stalagmites and the wall.
- Kill Gerwitz's Sword and it will drop Gerwitz's Sword (Item).
- Note: Gerwitz's Sword will use Blood Weapon around 50% of HP and it's not as tough as Gerwitz's Axe.
- Note: Gerwitz's Sword will not aggro if spawned with sneak.
- The final ??? is just a bit farther south, at (H-10) in the Morbolger room.
- Spawn Gerwitz's Soul by trading Gerwitz's Sword (Item) to the ???.
- Gerwitz's Soul is a Ghost NM around level 54.
- Note: Gerwitz's Soul will not aggro if spawned with sneak.
- Kill Gerwitz's Soul.
- Exit to La Theine Plateau from the same map at (G-10) and you'll get a cutscene, receive your reward, and complete the quest.
