===Notes===
*Save some time and do [[Bastok_Mission_3-1|The Four Musketeers bastok 3-1 mission]] which shares similar cutscene zones. It is possible to get the kill count on warrior against [[Copper Quadav]]. [[Copper Quadav]]s in [[Beadeaux]] are level 22 - 27 so a lvl 40+ warrior would have little issue.

Walkthrough

  • Speak with Gumbah until he gives you the cutscene that starts this quest. He is located on the upper floor in Bastok Mines inside the house at J-7.
  • Make sure you check your quest log before heading to Palborough Mines.
    • The quest Great Sword Weaponskill quest Inheritance (Ground Strike) seems to take priority over this quest, so it is important to make sure to get the correct cutscene/dialogue from Gumbah.
  • Travel to the Palborough Mines.
  • Proceed to the boat at (H-8).
  • Get on the boat and pull the lever to zone into Zeruhn Mines from the boat to receive a cutscene and the Chaosbringer, a level 1 Great Sword for Warriors and Dark Knights.
    • Anyone can pull the lever, you need only make the trip.
    • If you drop the Chaosbringer, you may take the ferry in the 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.
  • Once you have defeated 100 enemies, take the blade and zone into Beadeaux for a cutscene to unlock Dark Knight.
    • You can travel to Beadeaux as ANY job, not just Warrior. The blade does not have to be equipped; it must simply be in your inventory.

    • Enemies do not have to give experience points for them to count toward the 100 total including Too Weak mobs.
