Ataraxia... I knew she was going to make it!
But how did you...?
And where is Ataraxia?

Quest Walkthrough
Step 1
You've made it to the secret base of us Dark Knights!
It's not much, but... the pledge made with us is important, no?
Step 2
Quest Text This must the work of the... Thornwood NPC Knowledge Watch.
What kind of monster are the Ahib creating?
Step 3
Summary This... is the map of the Arid Lands?
Ataraxia NPC Knowledge... I knew she was going to make it!
But how did you...?
And where is Ataraxia?
Step 4
Summary ...

It's easy to corrupt pure souls.
Did... Ataraxia NPC Knowledge...?
Step 5
And with time, you'll become even stronger.
Ah, there we go! It's full charged, now. Take a look!
Step 6
Did you go through it all? What do you think? Ugh... It's pretty intense, isn't it?
They seem genuinely unhinged.
Step 7
It's a journal of the Ahib which we stole along with Dehkia's Lantern.
It's quite interesting, so take your time with it.
Step 8
Then... He dared to infiltrate the Crypt of Resting Thoughts.
What do you think happened? Hahaha! Naturally, he got caught by the Ahib.
Step 9
However, when Lafi returned to the Society of Equilibrium
and investigated further, he found out that it wasn't made by Dehkia...?
Step 10
Anyway, I have to dispose of this somehow.
If I hold onto this, the Ahib will burn this place down.
Step 11
Objective Let me tell you about Ataraxia NPC Knowledge's travels...
Summary Never knew that was Ataraxia NPC Knowledge's intentions...
Thank you. Adventurer.
Such a child, even until the very end.
She must have been so scared, knowing that she would turn... but she never gave up on the light.
Truly...
that's so like her...
However, I had no idea that Neigh Neigh liked fig pie Knowledge Item...
Could you find some fig pie for Neigh Neigh and Busters?
Perhaps eating Ataraxia's favorite food
will help alleviate Neigh Neigh and Buster's sadness in some small way.
Step 12
Summary Oh? You're back already?
That was a lot faster than I had expected.

Step 15
Objective [Charging Complete] Dehkia's Lantern NPC Item
Summary I've fully charged it for you!
Now you can use it right away.
What? Didn't know that it needs to be charged? Of course it does!
Think about it, why was it buried in dust? Hahaha!
To use Dehkia's Lantern NPC Item,
you must charge it with Dehkia's Light first.
※ Charge Dehkia's Lantern with Dehkia's Light.

※ Use Heating on yellow grade accessories
and Magical Lightstone Crystals to get Dehkia's Light.
※ Refer to the Crafting Notes for the detailed crafting method.
Step 16
Objective I read the Ahib's journal.
Summary If we hadn't taken Dehkia's Lantern NPC Item...
Kamasylvia could have been destroyed.
Why am I entrusting such a thing to you?
Because I believe you can control it yourself.
Step 17
Objective Then how did it end up here...?
Summary Right! We stole it!
The Ahib may not even know that we are the culprits!
Even though we Dark Knights are scattered far and wide,
we've always been on guard for impending darkness!
There's been something off about the Ahib's movements recently.
It was as if they'd gotten their hands on a potent weapon.
Just when things started smelling fishy, I received a plea for help from the Secret Guards,
and our Ashes of Darkness swooped in, ambushing them and making off with this.
It would be better to look at the research data directly for more details.
I'll try charging this in the meantime.
Step 18
Objective Then who made Dehkia's Lantern NPC Item?
Summary The actual creator was not Dehkia,
but one of his disciples, Orze, who was the founder of
the fourth stronghold in Atoraxxion, Orzekea.
When the Secret Guards found out about this, they became uneasy.
According to the dossiers they have compiled so far,
Orze... wasn't your run-of-the-mill character.
Hence, Lafi speculated that more related records might still be nestled in Orzekea,
now known as O'dyllita, where Orze was once active.
Step 19
Objective Is this what the Ahib are after?
Summary Indeed. The story behind it is a bit complicated...
The first one to stumble upon it was none other than Lafi,
a member of the Secret Guards.
He found it in Atoraxxion.
At first, he thought it was a device made by Dehkia for the purpose
of enhancing ancient weapons, so he named it "Dehkia's Lantern NPC Item."
