Walkthrough

Speak with Gumbah twice. He is located on the upper floor in Bastok Mines inside the only house.
Travel to the Palborough Mines, and head to the top floor (by walking or taking the elevator).
Proceed to the boat at (H-8).
Get on the boat and pull the lever to activate it.
- Zoning into Zeruhn Mines while on the boat is how you will receive the cutscene. Anyone can pull the lever so long as you make the trip.
Zeid gives you a great sword (Chaosbringer), tells you to satisfy its thirst for blood, and to then seek him out again in Beadeaux.
To satisfy his requirements, you must kill a total of 100 monsters with it. Any monster will do, regardless of level or location (see below).
Once you have defeated 100 enemies, take the blade to Beadeaux for a cutscene.

You will now be able to become a Dark Knight.

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 mob are irrelevant.
Weapon skills that finish the mob, or abilities that do so (such as Jump), do not count towards the kill total.
Mobs that kill themselves (such as Goblins' Bomb Toss, Bombs' Self-Destruct, and Bees' Final Sting) do not count towards the kill total.
Nothing resets the kill count (other than dropping the blade); you may change areas, jobs, weapons, get KO'd.
