Mercenary Sophya, captain of the Black Lion, recommends that you participate in the mission to eradicate Dion of monsters. Accept Sophya's mission and carry out the task of eliminating the undead of the Execution Ground, the Ol Mahums of the Partisan Hideaway, the Delu lizardmen of the southern shores, or the marsh stakato of the Cruma Marshlands. Note: to be offered this quest, you must have the Black Lion Mark, obtainable by completely fulfilling the Level 21 Vanquish Remnants quest.

Talk to Mercenary Sophya . She offers you four different mission choices: Drive the Undead from the Execution Grounds Drive the Ol Mahum from the Partisan Hideaway Drive the Delu Lizardmen from the southern shore area, or Kill the Marsh Stakato in the Cruma Marshlands. Undead, Execution Grounds
- 1
Sophya tells you to kill Specters, Sorrow Maidens, Neer Crawlers, Neer Ghoul Berserkers, Strains and Ghouls in the Execution Grounds. These drop Undead Ash and Cargo Boxes.
- 2
Head to the Execution Grounds (east of Dion). Strains and Ghouls are located in the swampy area surrounding the giant Guillotine. To find Neer Crawlers and Neer Ghoul Berserkers, go up the stairs onto one of the walls. To find Sorrow Maidens and Specters, search around the eastern exit or around the giant pit. Ol Mahum, Partisan Hideaway
- 1
Sophya tells you to kill Ol Mahum Guerillas, Raiders, Marksmen, Sergeants and Captains in the Partisan Hideaway. These monsters drop Bloody Axe Insignias and Cargo Boxes.
- 2
Head to the Partisan Hideaway (northeast of Dion) and kill the Ol Mahums. The Mahums are scattered all over the Hideaway, but to find the highest concentration, find the small, crude camps that the Mahums have made and hunt inside. Be careful though; the Mahums help each other and a lot spawn in there! Delu Lizardmen, Southern Shore Area
- 1
Sophya tells you to kill Delu Lizardmen, Scouts and Warriors. Note that this does not include Delu Lizardmen Shaman. These monsters drop Delu Lizardman Fangs and Cargo Boxes.
- 2
At various points along the southern shore you can find Delu Lizardmen. They are mostly scattered, so there is no best spot. Marsh Stakatos, Cruma Marshlands
- 1
Sophya tells you to kill Marsh Stakatos, Workers, Soldiers and Drones in the Cruma Swamp. Be careful, as some of these monsters have magic or special physical attack skills. These monsters drop Stakato Talons and Cargo Boxes.
- 2
Head to Cruma Swamp. The Stakatos can be found all around the tower, but not on the very outer rim. Like the Lizardmen, the Stakatos are pretty spread out, so it's hard to pick a good place to camp.
Rewards
Return to Sophya at any point. She pays 35a per Undead Ash, Bloody Axe Insignia, Delu Lizardman Fang or Stakato Talon. She also awards Lion Claws for concentrations of tokens: 1 Lion Claw for 20 to 49 of any single item; 2 Lion Claws for 50-99; 3 Lion Claws for 100 or more. Once you get 10 Lions Claws, you can trade them in to Sophia for a Lion Eye and then various items. The more Lion Eyes you have, the better your rewards. Depending on the Eyes you have, you may pick one item from the appropriate list: Eyes 1-4 5-8 9+ Healing Potions 20 25 50 Soulshot D Grade 100 200 400 Spiritshot D Grade 50 100 200 Scroll of Escape 20 20 30 Swift Attack Potion 3 3 4 Sophya also tells you to talk to Guildsman Morgan or Mercenary Redfoot about the Cargo Boxes.
Morgan. For each box you give him (he will only take one at a time, so you must keep clicking 'go back' to give him another), he gives you 100a and a Guild Coin. Once you have 40 Coins, you will start getting 200a per box. 80 Coins, 300a per box … and so on. Redfoot. For 650a he will open a cargo box for you (he also only takes one at a time; click 'return' to give him another). Inside the boxes are various treasures. Most of the treasures are standard sell-to-store items, but some of them, such as the tablets and statue pieces, can be put togeth- er to make more valuable items.
Just take all the parts (for tablet: part 1St, 2St, 3St and 4St; for statue: leg, arm, head and torso) to Blacksmith Rubio (Giran ) and he will put them together for free. The items can be sold for the following prices: Gludio Apples . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 500a Dion Corn Meal. . . . . . 500a Dire Wolf Pelts . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 500a Moonstone. . . . . . . . . . 750a Gludio Wheat Flour . . . . . . . . . . . . 750a Spider Silk Rope . . . . . 750a Silver Tea Service . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1000a Alexandrite. . . . . . . . . 1000a Mechanic Golem Spare Parts . . . 1000a Fire Emerald . . . . . . . 2500a Avellan Silk Frock . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2500a Feriotic Pottery. . . . . . 2500a Statue of Shillien parts. . . . . . . . . 1000a Imperial Diamond . 10,000a Fragments of Ancient Tablet . . . . 1000a The Complete Shillien Statue and Complete Ancient Tablet sell for 10,000a each to stores, but you can get 30,000a for the tablet if you sell it to Iron Gate's Lockirin (Dwarven Village ) and 30,000a for the statue if you sell it to Abyssal Celebrant Undrias (Dark Elven Village ).
