Walkthrough

  • Talk to Alfesar. He needs your help in finding an Ancient Tablet Fragment in the Quicksand Caves.
  • The fragment spawns at one of five randomly chosen locations in the Quicksand Caves.
    • Spawnpoints on Map 1: H-6, H-10, E-9
    • Spawnpoints on Map 2: D-9, L-11
  • To get to the ??? at H-6 (Point 1 on the map), enter the Quicksand Caves from the Eastern Altepa Desert at J-7 (Entrance #1 on the Map). Be sure to have Sneak ready to use or silent oils as the Antican aggro to sound. Also, deodorize is needed for some Anticans. It is also recommended that you use Reraise of some sort in case Sneak falls at a bad place.
    • You will zone in L-4 on Map 1.
    • When you fall down at I-7, be sure you are on the right (west) wall.
    • There will be a beetle at the spawn point. If the ??? is not there, head out of the caves at D-5. You will exit at H-8 in the Eastern Altepa Desert (Entrance #2 on the Map). Be sure to Sneak as u leave. The Anticans here checked as Incredibly Tough to a level 42 and they will aggro to sound. Deodorize may not be needed but better safe than sorry is a good philosophy to follow.
  • To reach the other four points, again enter the Quicksand Caves from J-7 in the Eastern Altepa Desert.
    • This time drop down at J-7, on the left (east) wall.
    • On Map 1 you can check points 2 (E-9) and 3 (H-10).
    • If not at either point, drop down at F-10. As you drop down, be sure you are on the east wall. Take Tunnel A.
    • Points 4 (D-9) and 5 (L-11) are on Map 2.
  • When you find the ???, check it and you will receive the Key Item: Ancient Tablet Fragment. (Please note: if more than one person in your party needs the quest, the ??? will disappear once anyone clicks it and will instantly repop in one of other locations.)
  • Return to Alfesar. He will give you the Key Item: Tablet of Ancient Magic and the Key Item: Letter from Alfesar.
  • Take both items to Charlaimagnat at the cathedral in Northern San d'Oria, M-7. (He is on the lower level at the bottom of the stairs.)
  • He asks for you to come back another day because he needs to decipher the tablet. Zone and come back to Charlaimagnat after waiting until after Japanese Midnight, for your reward.
