Chapter 3

Chapter 3 of the walkthrough, in 5 parts.

Overview

Chapter 3 starts in Magatia Village, the town between the two societies of alchemists, the Zenumist and the Alcadno. The main story needs both: each president asks for a membership card before he helps, and the Alcadno side makes the gear for the last fight. The chapter then returns to El Nath for the descent into the mine.

The chapter has two bosses: one under the Zenumist library and the last boss of the game. No chapter end follows: after the ending the hero stays in chapter 3, and no quest of it is lost. The fourth job advancement opens here, through Extreme Skill.

What carries over

Part 2: The Alcadno

Goal

The Alcadno President at Center Gate also wants a membership card, and Broker Han gives this one for a hunt in Alcadno B-1 Area. The Alcadno President then sends the hero to the Humanoid in Laboratory. These four are side quests, but the main story's next quest needs them done.

Level and gear

Aim for level 42 to 77. The story's own EXP brings a hero who does only what the main story asks to level 42 by the end of this part; the strongest monster it sends you to is level 95, and base ACC reaches that at level 77.

On the way, the strongest monster is Neo Huroid (level 103) on Laboratory (Magatia); the route only passes it.

What carries over

Part 3: Under the library

Goal

The Zenumist President sends the hero into Library Storage, below the library, for the first boss of chapter 3. The portal into the storage opens only while that quest is in progress and its kill is missing. The material the fight earns goes to the Alcadno President.

Route

The part starts on Laboratory (Magatia). The way between stops is the shortest one over the maps' exits in this chapter.

Quests

  1. Take Defeating the Homunscullo from Zenumist President in Laboratory 1st Fl. Hall (Magatia). Defeat 1 Homunscullo. Finish it with Zenumist President in Laboratory 1st Fl. Hall (Magatia). Reward: 8,500 EXP, 18,000 meso, 1 item.
  2. Take Meet the Alcadno president. from Zenumist President in Laboratory 1st Fl. Hall (Magatia). Bring 1 Metal Material. Finish it with Alcadno President in Center Gate (Magatia). Reward: 1,000 EXP.

On the way, the strongest monster is Neo Huroid (level 103) on Laboratory (Magatia); the route only passes it.

Boss

Homunscullo has 48,000 HP and level 135; it waits on Library Storage (Magatia). Its touch deals up to 1,010 damage to a hero with no DEF, and its skill attacks twice the roll, which cannot be avoided. No level gives the base ACC of 135, so some hits are always evaded: equipment with ACC narrows the gap.

Entering the boss map while the quest's kill is still missing starts the boss's entrance scene; the fight begins when it ends. Saving is refused on boss maps.

Save in Magatia Village and buy potions there before going down. Homunscullo has the second most HP of any monster, so the fight is long. Its skill attacks cannot be avoided; keep HP above twice its touch damage, the most one skill attack can take. No level gives the ACC to hit it every time, so every point of ACC on the gear shortens the fight.

The monster page has the full boss data: Homunscullo.

What carries over

Part 4: Back to El Nath

Goal

The Alcadno President needs beakers from the Homun and gelatin from the Cube Slime, and in return gives the Fire Suit. The suit protects against the heat of El Nath, and wearing it needs level 60. The Alcadno President then sends the hero back to Alcaster in El Nath Village.

Route

The part starts on Center Gate (Magatia). The way between stops is the shortest one over the maps' exits in this chapter.

Quests

  1. Take Alcadno's Technology from Alcadno President in Center Gate (Magatia). Bring 30 Beaker and bring 25 Gelatin. Finish it with Alcadno President in Center Gate (Magatia). Reward: 10,100 EXP, 14,400 meso, 2 items.
  2. Take Back to Alcaster from Alcadno President in Center Gate (Magatia). Finish it with Alcaster in El Nath Village. Reward: 1,000 EXP.

Optional quests that open in this part (their own pages have every step). Each is lost at the chapter end if it is not finished by then.

What carries over

Part 5: The altar in the mine

Goal

Alcaster gives the last quest of the story. The way runs from El Nath Village through the snowfields into the mine and down to Hellfire Altar; the portal to the altar opens only while the quest is in progress. Wear the Fire Suit for the whole descent. The endings page says what follows the fight.

Route

The part starts on El Nath Village. The way between stops is the shortest one over the maps' exits in this chapter.

Quests

  1. Take Defeat the Evil Lord from Alcaster in El Nath Village. Defeat 1 Balrog. Finish it with Alcaster in El Nath Village. Reward: 32,000 EXP, 32,000 meso.
  2. Take Peace in Maple World from Alcaster in El Nath Village.

Level and gear

Aim for level 47. The story's own EXP brings a hero who does only what the main story asks to level 47 by the end of this part.

On the way, the strongest monster is Bain (level 130) on Door to the Altar (El Nath, map 10.3); the route only passes it.

Wear the Fire Suit. In the Abandoned Mine (area 10) the heat deals 300 damage every 2.5 seconds to a hero without it (hazard maps). It needs level 60 to wear.

Shops on the way, with the strongest claw and dagger each sells up to level 83:

ShopKeeperBest clawBest dagger
Shop 13Mr. Wang in El Nath Villagenonenone
Shop 8Mr. Lee in El Nath VillageCraven (level 60, 65,980 meso)Blood Dagger (level 60, 77,700 meso)

Boss

Balrog has 80,000 HP and level 150; it waits on Hellfire Altar (El Nath). Its touch deals up to 1,205 damage to a hero with no DEF, and its skill attacks twice the roll, which cannot be avoided. No level gives the base ACC of 150, so some hits are always evaded: equipment with ACC narrows the gap.

Entering the boss map while the quest's kill is still missing starts the boss's entrance scene; the fight begins when it ends. Saving is refused on boss maps.

Save in El Nath Village: the way down is long and saving is refused on the altar. Wear the Fire Suit for the whole descent, since the heat of the mine keeps draining HP without it. Balrog has the highest level and the most HP of the monster table, and its skill attacks hit for twice its touch damage and cannot be avoided. Bring more potions than for any fight before, and keep HP above that double hit.

The monster page has the full boss data: Balrog.

Crafting and trades

Crafting and trading are open in this chapter as listed. Each recipe and trade is tied to the chapter: the quest states reset at the chapter end, and a later chapter has its own list.

Before the chapter ends

No chapter end follows chapter 3: its quests stay as they are after the ending, so nothing here is lost.

Story

Story of chapter 3

In Magatia the hero joins both societies of alchemists. The Zenumist side sends the hero against Homunscullo under its library; the Alcadno side takes the material from that fight and makes the Fire Suit. With the suit the hero can finally go down into the mine of El Nath, where Balrog waits on the altar. Its defeat is the end of the story.
