Blade of Evil - DRK AF3
|
SummaryOne of Gerwitz's weapons is running amok. You must go to the place where the Crystal Lines converge, use the blood of a powerful Quadav to lure it out, and then defeat the evil weapon that appears. WalkthroughYou must have completed Dark Legacy - DRK AF1 and Dark Puppet - DRK AF2, and activated Borghertz's Shadowy Hands to obtain this quest. First, set your job to Dark Knight and head to Beadeaux. A cutscene should occur where Zeid will tell you that the Power of Darkness is starting to get out of control. You need to collect one piece of Quadav Mage Blood. These are dropped off of Topaz Quadavs in the same zone. Note: If more than one Dark Knight is doing this quest, you only need one piece of blood and everyone will receieve their AF after the upcoming notorious monsters have been defeated. Once the blood has been aqcuired, head to Middle Delkfutt's Tower. On the seventh floor, use the teleporter at J-6. You should end up in a small circle room on the sixth floor (J-6 again). Buff up and be prepared for a tough fight. When ready, trade the Quadav Blood to the ???. Gerwitz's Scythe, a weapon-type NM, and two Scythe Victim skeletons will spawn. Recommended strategy:
It is also very risky to trade in the blood. Your HP can go down very fast. Make sure that the healers are alert and cure this person before the tank can get the hate. Once all three NMs are defeated, use the same teleport you used when you came in and after this you will get a cutscene and your Chaos Burgeonet. Quest SeriesThis quest is part of the Dark Knight artifact gear quest series. The entire quest series includes:

Edit: WARNING: The information i this original post is no longer accurate. I just did this fight again last night and apparently they changed the quest. We weren't even able to sneak-pop them anymore. Luckily we had enough fire power to win the fight still but had our PT been smaller we probably would have wiped.
Be sure to bring enough people to kill all three mobs now.

I helped a DRK friend with this as BST67. He didn't do anything except sit there and clear the giants.
Basically I just used a bunch of courrier carrie (7) and then kited it around the room when waiting to use Call Beast again. :) I would expect a SMN could do the same thing with enough interruption % down equips.
Full details can be found at here the BST forums if you're curious to try yourself.
Definitely a fun fight and I'm thankful to my friend for trusting me enough to give it a shot!

Did this two days ago on ifrit server tried once skeletons AOE killed us quickly. Tried again a half hour later and had a 75RDM/NIN solo weapon while my alliance took out skeletons. That time it took about 5 minutes for the RDM to kill the weapon himself.

Ok I did it this past weekend and drool.. We had 11 people and thought it was going to be hard. Had 5 drks, mages, 75pld, and a good old 60+ beastmaster.
Have the drk with the blood sneak and pop the Gerwitz's Scythe. Have everyone stand way way away from the ??? and have the high level 60+ beastmaster get out his crawler guy. Have that attack Gerwitz's Scythe and by the time the crawler is dead the other two will have depopped and Gerwitz's is down to half life and you go rape him. I got hit once because I dropped guillotine on him. FIght lasted like 5 minutes because we let the beastmaster;s crawler fight it.
10 of us got to be cheerleaders...I was even cheering on Gerwitz's Scythe. This was a very easy fight..Just get a high level beastmaster to go if you can.

I did this last night with about 10 people... which was overkill. The DRK with the quadav blood used a silent oil and traded to the ???. The PLD provoked Gerwitzs Scythe leaving the two Scythe Victims standing around like idiots. We wore the weapon out in around 30 seconds, after about a minute the Scythe Victims "depopped" and we teleported out and got the burgeonet. Easy like cakes. You could easily do this with a party of six... just have everyone hide as far away from the ??? as they can. Don't even bother messing with the Scythe Victims.
ya i was in that PT with wark, there was about 10, 11 ppl, 4 of us were drks, in all seriousness, it was one of the easiest things ive done in a long time, just sneak the popper and have the rest hide in the opposite corner, the skellies will depop before long, as far as the weapon goes, hes a pushover, infact hes not much harder than the drk af boots weapon, just like wark said...he dropped in a matter of seconds
thank you muadib, silmarwen, hiroki, rasec, warkvlt, merkury, deniki, ronjeremy, tibbets, and moliana for all your help, carby has the best people on it ^^

So think I could do this with myself (DRK50-60 by the time I do this), RDM71, PLD67, BLM65+, WHM65+, and something else?
We did this for one of my DRK friends, who is level 61. Set up the party and made him join as a suprise.. Since he's helped the rest of us with everything. And he was suprised.. W00t!
Had about 9 people, I believe, and went down easy enough. Set up was this: 63WHM/BLM (Me), 61DRK/WAR, 65WAR/NIN, 61WAR/NIN, 68NIN/WAR, 70RDM/SMN, 74BLM/WHM, 59THF/NIN, 67WHM/BLM.
DRK popped it after buffs, NIN tanked one, BLM tanked one and then WAR/NINs on the other (I think so anyway). Hectic as we set this up and got it done in a matter of an 1 hour and a half (Set up, to the tower and fight) or so. One WAR dropped down to 200 after doing ATK buffs and 2h (For fun), but otherwise no deaths and nothing close to a death. Fun stuff, it was.

I duo'd this AF3 75 WHM + 75 War. really simple, didnt even break a sweat ^^; but one thing... after we defeated the scythe we pulled a victim but before we could kill it the 2nd one depopped. I still got cut scene and all but, I think you only need to kill the scythe, can anyone verify this?

Just got done with this quest. We had about a half a dozen DRKs levels 58-60, a 58 brd and a 75 RDM/NIN. The RDM soloed it.
Here is how this quest is extremely easy. All you have to do is sneak the DRK that is going to spawn the NMs, and have him pull the Weapon NM over to a safe spot. This way the bones will not aggro and will eventually depop, leaving you with only the Weapon to deal with. The RDM took out the weapon with ease, he was only hit once.
PS. Scragg is my hero.

As a BRD61 with CHR+26, Apollo's Staff, Mary's Horn, I was unable to sleep the Scythe Victims.
Is it correct that you have to be level 50 to get this quest? I just got my DRK to 50 and then some and still can't sign up for it. I have AF1 complete and even flagged AF2 and AF4.
I know with my SAM AF3 can only be flagged when I'm 60 so think maybe it's a typo here and should be 60 as well, either that or I'm doing something wrong?

Did you complete your AF boots quest? You need to do that in order to log the AF helm, mainly because the DRK AF side-story doesn't really "stop" at all between the two quests... once you get your boots you're told to go to Beadeaux, which is where the helm quest starts.

Getting the people together and actually getting them up to the 7th floor is the hard part of this quest. It's amazing how people around lvl 60 don't know how to climb up Delkfutt's Tower. Once we got there(which took forever with some of the rocket scientists I went with), we built 300 TP. The alliance consisted of two full parties, in one was 60drk(me) 61drk 61blm 61nin 55drk and some other melee. other party had 71rdm, 61whm, 61pldx2, and a 64sam/rng. I put up sneak and traded to blood, so nothing aggrod me, pld each voked a skele and the nin tanked the weapon. We unloaded two guillotines, 5 sidewinder from the sam between meditate and meikyo suishi(sp?), and whatever WS the nin used, I don't really remember. Suffice to say, the weapon didn't live longer than 30 seconds. We then took out two two skeles in two separate groups, those fights took a little over a minute each. All in all, this was a LOT easier than people are making it sound.

Do you honestly think that someone is going to email you with an answer because you are too lazy to come back here and check for an answer, which is yes. The only quest you need to do to get your other AF are your boots.
EDIT: ...and your weapon of course.

I did this quest this past saturday we had 10 people, lvl 73nin/36war, lvl 75rng/37nin, lvl 63blm/31whm, lvl 61blm/30whm, lvl 60blm/30whm, lvl 62brd/31whm, lvl 58drk/29war, 2 lvl 56drk one had thf subbed and the other war subbed, and myself lvl 54 drk/27war. in the room b4 the tele pad to the fight the nin instructed all the melees to build 300 tp and also told the blms and brd not to attack only to heal. he then told us that he would solo the ghertiz's scythe, the rng along with 1 drk and 1 blm toake one of the scythe victims to one end, and 3 drks along with a blm and a brd to the other end with a scythe victim. when we're rdy we go in and start the battle, i was in the group with 2 other drk the and a blm the brd was jumping back and fourth healing. the 2 drks that were with me died and the one of the other blm in the other group so the nin come over to me and starts fighting the scythe victim while gheritz scythe was still attacking him. we kill the scythe victim, he then goes over to help kill the other scythe victim who was almost dead, then tells the mages to revive the dead members and the others not to attack gheritz scythe. After a couple more blows of ws tthe scythe was dead. It took no more than 10 min. if that. got my helm and we split ways ^^ that nin has made me want to one day lvl nin.

Well, we did this last night with a group of six from our LS.
Group was 75MNK, 60PLD, 60BRD, 60DRK, I think a 64PLD may have been a bit higher, and a 60WHM (me)
It was a dang tough fight though. I had to Benediction towards the end because of little to no mp left. Was really fun though.

I did this yesterday, it took me about 1hr to form the alliance "that was the hard part" well, i had a couple of friends that were gonna help, so it was easier for people to say yes when i asked. anyway, in total, we were like 16 people.
most of us DRK, we had 2 SAM/58&61, 1 WHM/62, 3 BLM/60, 1 THF/60, 1 MNK/61, 1 RDM/60, and about 7 DRK, most of us lvl 60, & 1 62, anyway, we head to the towers, we got to the place, "taking the port at J-6 @ the 7th floor"
there were 2 giants, there so we killed them, we buff, ate food, and then i send everyone to the left side, i used my defender ability just incase ^^ and i also used a silent oil before i spawn them, And yes, it worked, they stayed standing there like idiots, so i pull the weapon, which looks pretty hot, it had like 2 swords floating and i belive a scythe in the middle. we killed it in about 30 sec, then we pulled 1 skelleton, he went down fast, but before he went down, the other skelleton jumped in, they only did their absorb hp once, that was the only scary part, most of our hp went to yellow, but not too low, anyway, we killed them all and use the port and got ourself the nastiest helm ^^ it was really easy, u could use Silent oil, or sneak spell before spawning the nms, i bet its way easier, and if u didnt realize, we didnt have a tank at all, and only 1 whm and 1 rdm, so, if u dont have a tank, make sure u spawn the nms with sneak on, otherwise they all gonna jump in at once, enjoy lol

Why is Gerwitz's Scythe not in the NM beastiary? Someone should get this in gear.....
Full party of 18 60+ (most around 60, some DRKs 57-60).
Only problem we ever had is when my Guillotine + Trick attack missed the Paladin and by that time it was dead anyway so it didn't matter.
Our strategy:
3 WHM, 3 PLD. A WHM and PLD pair each take a skeleton to the far side of the room (which is rather small). Everyone else concentrates on the weapon. When the weapon dies, start killing off the skeletons. With as many DRK as we had (about 5) the skeletons were down in no time flat. As 61 DRK, they were cake to hit.
Oh, and don't let mages teleport the DRK out before they jump on the teleporter to get their helmet.

Weapons aggro sound and magic in general. Whether you can Sneak-pop the NMs for this too, I dunno. It may aggro through Sneak, or it may spawn "claimed" (in which case it'll smack you regardless).
1 post
I have never done this quest, but when fighting monsters that aggro to sound (like all my whm AF), just sneak up before you pop the monsters.
Undead mobs will just stand there looking stupid. If you clear a nice area first and have the rest of the group stand back, you can simply pluck them off one at a time. I used this strategy helping with BRD AF-2.
