Step 1. Seer Somak in Dion
Teleport to the Town of Dion and enter the Orc Guild: Seer Somak gives the quest only to an Orc Shaman from level 39. Click "Say that you will challenge the trial" — on the first take you get 92
Dimensional Diamond. Somak asks you to find the remains of four heroes: Braki, Hermodt, Tonar and Kiruna. A different person knows about each one — any order works.

Step 2. Orim of the Shadow
The mage Orim keeps Braki's remains. From Giran teleport to Dragon Valley and run about 9,300 north-northwest. Click "Ask him for the Remains of Braki", "Accept proposal" and "Ask what is needed exactly" — Orim gives you
Orim's Contract: 10 trophies from each of three Cruma Tower mobs.

Step 3. Porta, Excuro and Mordeo in the Cruma Tower
From Dion teleport to the Cruma Tower and enter it — all three live on the first floor. The trophies drop with a 100% chance (× the quest rate) and only while you carry Orim's Contract. The level 40 Porta lv. 40 drops the
Porta's Eye.

The level 41 Excuro lv. 41 —
Excuro's Scale.

The level 42 Mordeo lv. 42 —
Mordeo's Talon. You need 10 of each.

Step 4. Braki's remains
With 10 of each trophy go back to Orim in Dragon Valley — he gives you
Braki's Remains.

Step 5. Seer Manakia
Seer Manakia stands in the Orc Guild of the Town of Giran. Click "Ask where the remains lie" — he gives you
Manakia's Totem: the medusas carried off Hermodt's bones, and their queen Stenoa has the skull.

Step 6. Medusas and the Stenoa Gorgon Queen
The Gorgon Flower Garden is about 38,000 east-northeast of Giran; if the gatekeeper offers a Gorgon Flower Garden teleport, use it. A level 34 Medusa lv. 34 gives one missing Hermodt bone half of the time — the
rib,
spine,
arm and
thigh; the rate doesn't change this, about 8 kills on average.
Hermodt's Skull drops only from the level 37 Stenoa Gorgon Queen lv. 37 — there is just one, by the entrance to the Necropolis of Martyrdom.

Step 7. Hermodt's remains
With all five bones go back to Manakia in Giran — he puts them together and gives you
Hermodt's Remains.

Step 8. Seer Pekiron in Oren
Teleport to the Town of Oren: Seer Pekiron stands in the Orc Guild. Click "Ask where the remains are" — he gives you
Pekiron's Totem: the Leto lizardmen made amulets from Tonar's bones.

Step 9. Leto lizardmen
From Oren teleport to the Plains of Lizardmen and run northwest, about 4,500–10,000. The level 39 Leto Lizardman Shamans lv. 39 and level 40 Leto Lizardman Overlords lv. 40 give one missing Tonar bone half of the time — the
skull,
rib,
spine,
arm and
thigh. The rate doesn't change this, about 10 kills on average.

Step 10. Tonar's remains
With all five bones go back to Pekiron in Oren — he gives you
Tonar's Remains.

Step 11. Seer Racoy in Gludio
Teleport to the Town of Gludio: Seer Racoy stands in the Orc Guild. Click "How did Kiruna die?" — he gives you
Racoy's Totem and sends you to the Gludio temple to find out where Kiruna is buried.

Step 12. Priestess Vivyan
Priestess Vivyan stands in the Gludio temple. Click in turn "Ask about Kiruna the Brave", "How did Commander Kiruna die?" and "Where was Kiruna buried?" — she gives you
Vivyan's Letter for the trader Sarien: the grave is somewhere in the Wasteland.

Step 13. Trader Sarien
From Gludio teleport to the Southern Pathway to the Wasteland: Trader Sarien stands right by the teleport. Give him the letter — he gives you the
Insect Diagram Book: the ants dug up the grave, and Kiruna's bones are now in their tunnels.

Step 14. Noble Ants in the Ant Nest
From Gludio teleport to the Ant Nest and go deep into the nest. The level 37 Noble Ants lv. 37 and level 38 Noble Ant Leaders lv. 38 give Kiruna's bones only while you carry the Insect Diagram Book — the
skull,
rib,
spine,
arm and
thigh. The rate doesn't change this, about 10 kills on average.

Step 15. Kiruna's remains
With all five bones go back to Racoy in Gludio — he gives you
Kiruna's Remains.

Step 16. Vendetta Totem
With the remains of all four heroes return to Somak in Dion. He takes them and gives you the
Vendetta Totem: the ritual needs 13 heads of the Tamlin traitors.

Step 17. Tamlin orcs
From Hunters Village run about 6,000 south-southeast. The
Tamlin Orc Head drops from the level 41 Tamlin Orc lv. 41 and level 42 Tamlin Orc Archer lv. 42, 50% chance × the quest rate, only while you carry the Vendetta Totem. You need 13.

Step 18. Warspirit Totem
With 13 heads go back to Somak. He takes the Vendetta Totem and gives you the
Warspirit Totem and the blessed remains of all four heroes — take them to the ancestor Martankus.

Step 19. The ritual with Ancestor Martankus
From the Orc Village teleport to the Entrance to the Cave of Trials, go in, jump down to the right at the bridge and run downstream — Ancestor Martankus stands a few halls further. Click "Give the heads of Tamlin Orcs", then "Say you want to take the Ritual of War Spirit" — he takes the heads, the totem and the remains and gives you the
Mark of Warspirit, 63,483 XP and 17,500 SP. The other Warcryer marks are Trial of the Pilgrim and Testimony of Glory; the full path is in the Warcryer 2nd class quest guide, and other classes start from the 2nd class quest hub.

How many mobs to kill at your rate
The trophies for Orim drop with a 100% chance — the quest rate multiplies the amount per kill. The Tamlin heads drop with a 50% chance, and the rate multiplies the chance. On some servers quest items drop one at a time at any rate — then use the x1 column.
| What to collect | How many | x1 | x3 | x5 | x10 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Porta's Eye, Excuro's Scale, Mordeo's Talon (100%) | 10 each | 10 | 4 | 2 | 1 |
| Tamlin Orc Head (50%) | 13 | 26 | ~9 | 6 | 3 |
The rate doesn't speed up the heroes' bones: they drop one missing piece at a time — about 8 medusas plus the Stenoa Gorgon Queen for Hermodt, about 10 kills each for Tonar and Kiruna.
Drop: Tamlin Orc · chance 50% · needed 13 pcs
| Quest drop rate | Kills on average | Safe margin (90%) |
|---|---|---|
| x1 | 26 | 33 |
| x3 | 9 | 9 |
| x5 | 6 | 6 |
| x7 | 4 | 4 |
| x10 | 3 | 3 |
| x50 | 1 | 1 |
| x100 | 1 | 1 |
A server may multiply quest drops differently from its main rate: check the exact multiplier in the server description.
