Walkthrough

• Head to Beadeaux as a Dark Knight for a cutscene where Zeid will tell you that the Power of Darkness is starting to get out of control.
• Obtain a vial of Quadav Mage Blood, which is dropped by Topaz Quadav.
  • If more than one Dark Knight is doing this quest, only one vial of this blood is needed.
• Head to the seventh floor of Delkfutt's Tower and use the teleporter at J-6.
• You should now end up in a small room on the Sixth floor.
• When ready, trade the Quadav Mage Blood to the ??? to spawn Gerwitz's Scythe and two Scythe Victims.
  • These mobs cannot be "sneak popped" to fight only the weapon - all three aggro on pop even with sneak.
  • You do not have to have Dark Knight set as your main job when you pop the NM in order to receive the helmet.
  • Recommended strategy is to have three different people tanking, one to tank the weapon, and two more to hold the victims, with a healer for support, along with other DDs. Pick the skeletons off as fast as possible, then have everyone focus on the weapon. Once the victims are down, it should be just a straight up fight. (see testimonials)
  • Only Gerwitz's Scythe must be defeated. If you wipe you can come back and may still get the Chaos Burgonet.
• After you kill the three NMs, take the teleporter out and you will receive a cutscene and your reward.
