Pretty good walkthrough on this one. Easy if you know ordelles already and bring along one upper lvl to help you out. i recommend popping arcane circle before fighting an evil weapon. Too bad boot stats are crap except for looking cool. I'll take my lvl 30 RSE boots over it anyday tyvm....but you need as prereq for helm.
Picked up a flame degen from a bomb on the way out for a map quest. sweets. also got a key/chest for some stupid sandorian quest. oh yea the exit you come out isnt the way back up to La Theine........

Dark Puppet - DRK AF2
|
SummaryZeid's letter to Cid reports him finding 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. WalkthroughNote: You must have finished Dark Legacy - DRK AF1 to start this quest. Talk to Cid at H-8 on the upper level of Bastok Metalworks. Cid mentions the Darksteel Formula you found from doing Dark Knight AF1. Raibaht then comes in and says that Zeid sent a letter to Cid. Zeid's letter to Cid reports him finding 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. Before going any further, buy a Darksteel Ingot from the auction house. Note: All Dark Knights in your party can do the quest at once, so if you have 5 that need to do it, they can all pitch in and get one Darksteel Ingot. Go to Ordelle's Caves. As soon as you zone in, you'll get a cutscene where Zeid tells you that a merchant who had been in the caves was attacked by Gerwitz's Axe. At the time he was carrying a Darksteel Ingot for synthing and you should check it out. On the first map (the one you are currently on) go to H-12 and fall down the hole. This will put you on a ledge at H-12 on the third map. You should be right next to a ??? in the corner where you fell. Buff up and get ready. When you're ready, trade the Darksteel Ingot to the ??? and Gerwitz's Axe will spawn. It is around level 50, but not too hard. He uses Mighty Strikes. He will then drop the item, Gerwitz's Axe. Have whoever used the Darksteel Ingot lot on it and get it into his inventory. After this, go east and you will find a passage way leading up onto the second map of Ordelle's Caves. Make your way down to H-8 and you'll find another ???. When the party is ready, trade Gerwitz's Axe to the ??? and it will spawn Gerwitz's Sword. This will cause the item Gerwitz's Sword to drop. The final ??? is in H-10 on the same map in the small square room at the south end of the map. When you're buffed and everyone has 300% TP, trade Gerwitz's Sword to the ???. This will spawn Gerwitz's Soul, a Ghost NM around level 54. Congratulations! You're done! All you have to do is take the exit to La Theine Plateau from the same map at G-10 and you'll get a cutscene between Gerwitz, yourself, and Zeid. When the scene is over with you'll receive your Chaos Sollerets. For a transcript of this quest go to the Dark Puppet - DRK AF2 Spoilers page.

Axe... what an interesting NM! I was there as 75NIN/37WHM... no big deal there. Most AF NMs can be soloed pretty easily. But the funny thing was, even with capped Evasion, merits, and evasion skill+ gear on, he did not miss me ONCE. I parried about 40% of the time, with only a 222 parrying skill.
With Sword and Soul, evasion kicked in fine. Just something funny I've never seen before with any NM, let alone a lowbie like Axe!

Did this one today as 53drk/26war(me), 60drg/sam, 67rdm/?. Before each fight we built 300%tp and prot and shell. I threw up arcane circle for the first 2 fights. Gerwitz's Axe went down without a whole lot of trouble. The rdm was keeping an eye on the drg's hp because he was taking most of the damage and then I got hit a few times with mighty strikes and went down but I had reraise so that wasnt an issue. Gerwitz's Sword was a complete pushover. I don't think the fight lasted more than 10 secs. Gerwitz's Soul got me, the drg and the rdm down into the yellow but the rdm stayed on top of things and kept us alive. It only used 1 ancient magic spell in the fight and that was freeze and that was what brought us in the yellow. All in all not THAT tough. Now I'm in pursuit of the next drk af quest.

You have to use the job that requires the Af to receive it from a chest, however I did the DRK Af feet on my 75 Summoner. All I did was start the quest on my DRK all did the rest on Summoner.
Any questions contact me.

you have to start the quest and open the coffer as a DRK. But you can fight the NM as a PLD once you started the quest. Also you need to be lv50+ drk to start the quest.

I hate hearing all these "I pwned this at 75 as a Rdm/Nin or Bst/Whm!" like, who cares? Not everybody is doing this quest after taking 3 other jobs to 75 first. -_- Give us some full-party, level 50 strats or something, fer fecks sake.
So, after a couple REALLY lame parties finally got me over the level 50 hump, I decided to go soro this RDM75/NIN37 style (the easy way)...
The Axe was a tough fight, such as it was... I ended up at about 1/2 hitpoints, after it kept interrupting my NI recasts... yes, it was interrupting my uber-fast NI's... nonetheless, axe achieved...
I make my way down to the sword, build up TP, get a key in the process, and take that thing out in less than a minute. with my merited silencing skillz I was unable to silence it the two times I tried, I'd say it's unshutuppable.
And then we come to the Ghost... it was about as tough as the two of them combined, maybe not. It took a while, only got me stoneskinless/shadowless once, compared to the twice the Axe did... It was not silenceable for me either.
Got the sollerets, and as usual, on to more important parts of my AF... (this makes 3 that are sitting in my MH, collecting dust...)
Now to find the chest!

FYI... Gerwitz's Axe seems to have 100% accuracy or close to it. I blink tanked it as a 75 thief and it *never* missed. If you have to solo it as a thief, I suggest fleeing away when all shadows drop, and 2 hr through it's mighty strikes.
Should be cake for two 75 melee though.

lol this is too weak for a 75 bst/whm.
I just used Call Beast for each NM and courier carrie tanked them all pretty well. I just needed to use reward once on Gerwitz's Axe to fill up carrie's hp a litte after mighty strikes.
On Gerwitz's soul I stored tp to 300% by killing random mobs around the area before I popped it.
After about 2 rampages, it was over.

Gerwitz's Axe: 60 Rdm/Pld , 52 Drk/Sam (me)- We got the axe down to about 30-40% when it used its 2hr and proceeded to rape the Rdm. Sleep doesn't work, but somehow I bound it (132 enfeebling skill, no where near cap) and I escaped to zone.
Gerwitz's Axe: 60 Rdm/Pld, 52 Drk/Sam (me), 62 Blm/???, 50 Rdm/Thf- after finding out that we died to this weapon, the Blm decided to help us since he was bored. His friend, the Rdm/Thf, decided to help also. We go in with the strategy of binding and gravitying to kite the weapon during its 2hr phase. Once the 2hour was over, we melee'd somemore until weapon got to about 25%, then Blm casted ancient magic and fight was over.
Gerwitz's Sword: 60 Rdm/Pld, 52 Drk/Sam (me), 62 Blm/???, 50 Rdm/Thf- first thing, none of the mages could silence this guy, so I'm just gonna make the assumption that he can't be silenced. It was an easy battle, because it was casting magic a lot, the Rdm/Pld didn't take much damage, and also kept hate easily. It's 2hour was a joke. Blm used ancient magic at 30% this time, and we had ourselves a dead weapon.
Gerwitz's Soul: 60 Rdm/Pld, 52 Drk/Sam (me), 62 Blm/???, 50 Rdm/Thf- this bastard could not be silenced. It also took the Rdm/Pld's stoneskin off in one hit (he also got aggroed before the fight so the stoneskin may have had low hp). The Rdm/Pld went down to 50-60% hp after about 20 seconds of battle. However, with the other Rdm curing, he stayed alive, and after that it was just a battle to survive. We got cursed twice and AeroGa'd a few times. I used Souleater in this battle to help take its hp down faster and I almost died when it used Aeroga II. I then jumped out of AoE range as did the other mages, and it used its AoE drain but only hit the Rdm/Pld cause he was tanking. Once its HP got close to 30% the Blm used ancient magic and it was lights out for Gerwitz's soul. It was a close fight. Really could have went the other way had it used its other abilities sooner.

Last night my friend and I decided to do this quest for his 51 DRK, we read up on the NM's and found out that they were actually hard. We read that 2 75 melees wouldn't be able to do it easily. We were bored and decided to go do it anyways, the worst that will happen is that we lose some exp and his ingot. My friend went as DRK51/WHM25, I went as MNK75/NIN37. For the first NM I throw up Dodge, Focus (forgot put up Shadows), and he spawns it. We each had 300% tp and we both WS. I did Asuran Fists, he did Vorpal Scythe. Did about 25% of his health with those, he was hitting me for about 90-100. Get him to about 50% health and he Mighty Strikes (hitting me for about 120), I use Hundred Fists, Chakra and proceed to beat him and using Asuran Fists whenever I had enough TP. We killed the NM. We both ended with about half of our health left. My friend had drained his MP curing me. The other 2 NM's for this were very easy. Had no trouble at all with them.
If I hadn't used my 2-hour we wouldn't have beat the first NM, and if I would have remembered shadows I wouldn't have lost so much health.

DO I have to be a drk to do this? I did it with a friend as a drk, we both needed it but only he got the feet and when I try to do it as my rdm, nothing happens. I thought as long as it was in your quest log, you can do it with any job? Besides the fact that I did not get them when I was a drk with the other guy. Any help would be much appreciated. thanks

Nin 75 can, lol
Just solo'd all 3 today as 75War/Nin, so no, not just nin can solo this obviously.
the NM's are a meager lvl50 about and it's always a 1on1, so basically any class lvl75 can solo them.
Also the Axe is a war using Mighty Strikes and occasionally drains TP when he hits you (even through stoneskin).
The Sword is a RDM, my guess is he uses chainspell, but i filter stuff like that and had him silenced and para'd. . .
The soul is nice. . .He's seemingly immune to para and silence and a blm. He can and will cast Bio2, Poison2, elemental debuffs, tornado, freeze etc.

Think a 75War/nin can take these out with some npc healing help? I may give it a try.
Does anyone who's done this one think a 70 PLD with a 59 fierce attacker NPC can take these?
Just wondering if I can do it alone.
Thanks for any advice.

The first NM wasnt too bad, 2 54 DRK and a 62 PLD took it on and had no problems. although i was subbing rdm for healing.
the second on is a whm with blood weapon, it goes down pretty quick
the 3rd one was cruel... heres a good setup for killin it and living:
70RDM/35BLM
62PLD/31WAR
52DRK/26RDM
58DRK/29WAR
use that setup and you'll win, guarenteed

I did this quest last night with my 51 DRK and a friend of mine who's a level 74 RDM. He subbed DRK for stun and he essentially solod everything for me. All I did was wait for him to get enmity then I would sit on the side and kinda peck at it.
He would buff himself up so that they did 0 damage and he cast stoneskin as often as he could. The first one was the toughest, it took us about 2 minutes to kill it and he had to bind run away convert and rebuff twice.
The second one went down like a sack of potatoes. I find it hard to believe that the second one is higher level than the first.
The ghost wasn't too bad, it did 0 damage to my friend with all its spells and physical attacks. Its area spells like Aeroga nailed me for about 200 HP and my friend had to convert once during the fight but he was so little concerned about it he just reverted and rebuffed himself while the mob kept hitting him. 0 0 0 0 0. Have to say the first one was the worst, second easy easy, and the last wasn't too bad.
Tough quest but if you have good help it can be easily done.

I was bored one day and my Drk had recently hit lvl 50. I thought id start the af quest and get my LS to help me latter. Well i was bored so i felt like trying to solo this. After reading some of the posts i thougth i was gonna die but these 3 were easy. The first one was the hardest cause it took 3 predator claws to bring him down. I was out of mp but i won lol. The 2nd one, ONE predator claws hit him for 2100 and killed him. The ghost i called ifrit for flaming crush but he did 200, 2nd did 900, then i called carby and hit him to death. He didnt even get carby to 90% life. This was easy :)

I have been stuck on lvl 52 for ages since I was lazy to be a pt ldr and gather people and buy making money for maps that I haven't got for mining and Mission 5-2.
Yesterday one of my ls friend suggested to do it since he also wanted to do his PLD AF1 at Ordelle Cave so I started shouting in Jueno for high lvlers help.
After a while I got a few very nice people willing to assist me but they were all DD and I was a bit worried since a lot of posts warned us how difficult the last NM was without proper tank and mage but we went a head anyway. Quote from one of the pt member: "It'll be /fun and /excitement since the hate will be flying everywhere".
The party setup was as follows:
DRK75/WAR37
DRK74/WAR37
DRG68/WHM34
DRG62/WAR31
PLD56/WAR28
DRK52/THF26 (me)
and quite right it was fun. We did the PLD AF1 first by killing the earth elemental thing within 15 sececond after building enough TP, then it was my turn.
Killed the first NM in 30 seconds and 20 seconds for the following one, then 30 seconds again for the last one. Of course in between we all build up enough TP for WS and occasionally we even had a few SC while killing them.
Since there weren't a major tank and no one really voked so first NM was a bit confused who to attack since everyone were dealing a lot of damage but before it can really hurt someone it died.
The last one did curse and some other spells but since we were melee and no one really gave a damn about it.
With the two drgs' Wyvern, we had 8 DDs, so who says you need tank and mage to do this? LOL
Especial thanks to Stalker, Canabi, Exsonious (not sure if I got this one right), Zyrus and the other DRG I forgot his name (sorry, mate but cheers for the help!)
and damn, I look nice in those boots

and quite right it was fun. We did the PLD AF1 first by killing the earth elemental thing within 15 sececond after building enough TP, then it was my turn.
Killed the first NM in 30 seconds and 20 seconds for the following one, then 30 seconds again for the last one. Of course in between we all build up enough TP for WS and occasionally we even had a few SC while killing them.
Since there weren't a major tank and no one really voked so first NM was a bit confused who to attack since everyone were dealing a lot of damage but before it can really hurt someone it died.
The last one did curse and some other spells but since we were melee and no one really gave a damn about it.
With the two drgs' Wyvern, we had 8 DDs, so who says you need tank and mage to do this? LOL
Especial thanks to Stalker, Canabi, Exsonious (not sure if I got this one right), Zyrus and the other DRG I forgot his name (sorry, mate but cheers for the help!)
and damn, I look nice in those boots

no melee can solo the axe...you will die no matter what level....you need a nin or high level pld to tank this and a healer....
doing it with a nin (me) 62 thf 73 and whm 63
the rest is easy after axe if you are 60+ or have 60+ help

LOL....Solo'd these mobs as a 75whm/drk. Had to use 2 yagudo drinks and a hi-ether+1 on Gerwitz Axe, but had plenty of mp for for the other 2.

Just fought the first weapon as a 75NIN.. the accuracy of this mob was insane, infact I don't think it missed a shadow once. Also, it hit me for 150-200dmg a shot. Very very nasty -_-.

Yeah you could. Me, RDM64, and a friend, DRK60, just duoed these 3. First on was a little hard, but we both made it through with only a little difficulty. The second weapon was a pushover, I don't know if it even got through stoneskin. The third one though was where we ran into problems. Darknight didn't have his 2 hour up (being as how he used it on the first mob), and this thing ate through stoneskins after 3 or 4 hits. Darknight ended up dieing twice (reraise hairpin) and i was almost dead. He ended up using guillatine on it after reraise to bring it to 1% HP, which gave him hate and he died the second time lol, but it allowed us to kill it. So it can be done, but it isn't easy.
Life is defined by the trials we face and the hardships we endure.

I'll tell you this as a DRK AF newbie, it was very worrysome.
In my party:
Zeix, 50 DRK (Me)
Boomer, 60+ PLD
Mingatsu, 62 BST
Redman, 60 BLM
We totally aced the Axe and Sword, but the Soul, the ghost-type NM, is TOTALLY EVIL. It managed to kill our Paladin, Boomer, right as we landed the finishing blow on it. It casts Sleepga, Curse, Bio II, and a bunch of other horrible spells on your party.
Do NOT go into this battle without a WHM or RDM. If you do, someone, if not everyone, will die.
And for the record, there is NO WAY this enemy is a level 54 monster. If it can kill a level 60+ Paladin, it must be in the 60s.
Lastly, after you get the weapons from the corresponding NMs, equip them to be safe. I almost tossed it while trying to toss a Treant Bulb from my inventory.
If you need any HL help and are in Gilgamesh server, send me a /tell, I have lots of friends.

I was too lazy to shout for help in Jeuno, so I just picked 3 LS members to help out. Pt was 50 DRK(me), 55 SAM, 63 DRK and 58 WHM. We get TP to 100% with the mobs around, buff up with protect, shell, and aerial armor (whm was /smn). Spawn first NM, DRK vokes, a few WS's gets it to do Mighty Strikes, DRK's hp droped to yellow a few times, but WHM's great healing kept him in one piece and didnt get hate. First one dead. We buff up the same way before the second. But he didnt do anything, so in less than 20 seconds, after a nice SC, he's dead. Same buff process for third, only this time WHM stood further away to avoid Sleepga. We spawn it, and after 1 or 2 minutes we killed it. Has alot of HP, but doesnt hit too hard, nothn to worry about. Not sure the ghost is 50-ish, since I got 7 exp.
In the end, all it took was 4 people.
Hope this helps ^^

sorry for the double post
Me and a couple friends went out after these things our pt setup was 50 drk 55 pld 58 pld 60 drg 55 blm these things aren't a joke the first two go down pretty easy but the ghost came out blasting and hit me w/ a tornado right off the bat resisted everything we threw at him and most of the pt ended up sleeping through half the battle because of sleepga2. from this experience i conclude you need a tank and some kind of healer but then again some weird stuff works, just dont take em lightly and dont take em too seriously

Yes, you CAN do this quest w/out being drk. I did it as my 64 sam. For most forced spawned af mobs, you can do as another job. Did af1 for drk and war as sam too. Though this doesnt apply for coffer...of course...

Guys, I see you have to trade a darksteel ingot to get the mob to spawn. My question is this: Can this be spawned by any person, at any time, so long as they have the ingot? Or can this only be spawned by a dark knight who has activated the quest?
As long as they have the quest active and flagged up to this point, yes. You can do the quest as another job, but you cannot spawn the NMs if you do not have the quest flagged.

Is it required to be on your Dark Knight to complete this quest? Someone I know was wondering if he could solo it on his 70 RDM.

Is that possible to not have Zilart? I would only think so if you were japanese and didn't buy the 1.5 year old expansion pack.

once you trade darksteel ore you lose it right? so if you die you need to get another and trade?
OK this is probibly a very ignorant question, but I have a lvl 60 whm and a lvl 51 drk. I have yet to finish whm's last bit of af (af hands) and want to do my drk's af, is there any way to accept drk's with whm still open...?

now i went back to ordell's caves. i went to the point, traded the ingot, and nothing happened. Now i did complete this quest before. But liek i said when i zoned i didn't recive my boots because of invo being full. So I tried to talk to cid again. He told me to get lost. So i figuered ok i just need to repete this quest and just zone again. Needless to say. when i got back to the caves, i got shafted again. Now it says quest is repeateable. how can it be if i tried to do it and it's no where to be found in my invo, safe, anywhere? If u have an answer for this please let me know. this is starting to really get to me. I kjnow i can't do rest of Af until i complete this one. So any info would be extreamly helpful thank you.
i live by one quote. And it has kept me standing tall for years. "I'd rather die on my feet then live on my knees." M.D.R.

actually no you didnt have to redo this quest, if you had bothered to read my post below, you would have seen that very thing happened to another drk that was in my PT for this quest, all he had to do was make some space and rezone through the same exit that he had left to get the boots in the first place....he got his boots without doing the whole thing again

just did this last night with some LS buddies, and then a few other drks sent me a tel just as we left saying they needed it, this was party setup:
50 drk (me)
50 drk
50 drk
66 war
55 whm
60 whm
59 nin
obviously this is a little overkill, it looks like most you had no problem with just 5 ppl...so 7 was a little much but oh well lol
we all buffed our TP before each fight
ok first NM was easy, had a lot of HP but was still easy nonetheless
2nd NM was a complete pushover, we spawned him and within seconds he was on the ground....i was a bit surprised
3rd NM was a little tougher than the first NM but not by much, we took him with ease
the only hang up we had was the ppl that didnt have maps of ordelles kept gettin lost, but it wasnt a big deal really...and 1 of the drks that was with us had a full inv when he zoned to get his boots...he didnt get them, his LS said that he could get them by just rezoning the zone that he came out of.....but that wasnt til after he had gotten lost in ordelles...again (he had no map) after about an hour of trying to get hiom back to the right zone he finally got his boots

Um, it says at the bottom of the guide that this quest is repeatable, is that true? Are all the AF quests repeatable? Because I never thought so...

If you accidentally drop the Chaos Sollerets you could repeat this Quest to obtain them again.
As long as they are in your Inventory/MH you can't do it again. ('cause it's rare/ex)
