Walkthrough

• You must be on Dark Knight to talk to Cid.
• Talk to Cid to hear comments about the Darksteel Formula you found during the Dark Legacy quest. Raibaht informs Cid that Zeid sent a letter to Cid indicating that he found one of the weapons forged by Gerwitz, the legendary darksteel smith, but it has taken the form of an evil weapon. You must meet Zeid and help him with his task.
• Obtain a Darksteel Ingot. Only one is needed per group.
• From this point on, you do not need to be on Dark Knight.
• Zone into Ordelle's Caves from La Theine Plateau at F-7 for a cutscene where Zeid comes up to you and tells you that a merchant who had been in the caves was attacked by Gerwitz's Axe.
• Make your way to H-12 on this map and fall down the hole which will put you on a ledge at H-12 on the first map.
• When ready, trade the Darksteel Ingot to the ??? and spawn Gerwitz's Axe.
• Kill Gerwitz's Axe
  • Notes: Gerwitz Axe has bad evasion and low defense but has good accuracy and can hit pretty hard.
• Go east and you will find a passageway leading up onto the third map of Ordelle's Caves. Make your way down to H-8 and you'll find another ???.
• Spawn Gerwitz's Sword by trading the Gerwitz's Axe to the ???.
• Kill Gerwitz's Sword and it will drop Gerwitz's Sword.
  • Notes: Gerwitz Sword will use Blood Weapon around 50% of HP and it's not as tough as Gerwitz Axe.
• The final ??? is in H-10 on the same map in the large square room at the south end of the map.
• Spawn Gerwitz's Soul by trading Gerwitz's Sword to the ???.
  • Gerwitz's Soul is a Ghost NM around level 54
• Kill Gerwitz's Soul.
• Exit to La Theine Plateau from the same map at G-10 and you'll get a cutscene, receive your boots, and complete the quest.
