Walkthrough
- Talk to Curilla in Chateau d'Oraguille who will give you the Sapara of Trials and the Weapon Training Guide (key item).
- Use the Sapara of Trials until the latent effect disappears.
- How to remove the latent effect:
- You must perform Weapon Skills and Skillchains on monsters that con Easy Prey or higher.
- Weapon Skills performed while under Level Sync will count.
- You must accumulate 300 total Weapon Skill Points.
- You receive 1 point for opening/soloing a weaponskill, 2 points for closing a Lv.1 Skillchain, 3 points for closing a Lv.2 Skillchain and 5 points for closing a level 3 Skillchain.
- Unless you are using the sapara with Paladin (and therefore can use Swift Blade), you will not be able to close any Lv.3 chains at this point using a sword, unless you are already Lv.75, and have already unlocked Expiacion (BLU) or Death Blossom (RDM).
- To check to see if the latent effect has disappeared, look at your equipment screen for the elemental resistance. Though its easy to see the HP drop, it should be even easier to see you lose a good 10 resistance in both schools below.
- At any time, you can talk to Curilla to end the quest. If you do end it, all work on the latent effect will be lost as you will need to start the quest again.
- Once you no longer receive the latent effect bonus, head back to Chateau d'Oraguille and TRADE the Sapara of Trials back to Curilla, who will take the weapon from you and give you a Map to the Annals of Truth (key item) and tell you to head to Quicksand Caves.
- Head to Western Altepa Desert. Here you will need to open the Altepa Gate.
- Once in Quicksand Caves go to I-6 on the map to the right and click the ??? to spawn the NM named Girtablulu. On the way there, you may encounter an Antican Praetor that hears through sneak at the 4-way intersection. Wait for that antica to move to the far southwest corner of that room before heading north.
- Girtablulu causes high damage when it connects. Uses Wild Rage and Earth Pounder like other Scorpion, which can cause high damage. Wild Rage can do about 400-600 damage.
- Girtablulu's use of Death Scissors can do upwards of 1000 damage on a well-equipped level 75 Paladin. It may be best to bring a blink tank.
- Once the NM is dead, re-examine the ??? to obtain the Annals of Truth (key item).
- Bring this back to Curilla for your reward.
- If more then one individual in your party needs the item, they may check the ??? as well. You do not need to fight the NM for each of them.
- NOTE: You cannot unlock this quest if you already have another Weapon Skill quest opened.
- You will not gain points towards unlocking the weapon by participating in Campaign Battles or Besieged.
- Talking to Curilla may trigger a cut-scene for the quest The General's Secret. Simply talk to her again after accepting the The General's Secret quest to obtain the correct cutscene for Old Wounds.
