Walkthrough[]

  • Talk to Cid to hear comments about the Darksteel Formula you found during the Dark Legacy quest. Raibaht informs Cid that Zeid sent a letter to Cid indicating that he found 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.
  • Obtain a Darksteel Ingot. Only one is needed per group.
  • Zone into Ordelle's Caves for a cutscene where Zeid comes up to you and tells you that a merchant who had been in the caves was attacked by Gerwitz's Axe.
  • Make your way to H-12 on this map and fall down the hole which will put you on a ledge at H-12 on the first map.
  • When ready, trade the Darksteel Ingot to the ??? and spawn Gerwitz's Axe. Once traded the ingot is lost, so be sure you are fully prepared for the fight, unless you want to get another ingot.
  • Kill Gerwitz's Axe (he can actually be pretty tough, even for two 75's) and he will drop the Gerwitz's Axe. Whoever spawned the mob should lot on and take the Gerwitz's Axe.
  • Go east and you will find a passageway leading up onto the second map of Ordelle's Caves. Make your way down to H-8 and you'll find another ???.
  • When ready, trade the Gerwitz's Axe to the ??? and it will spawn Gerwitz's Sword.
  • Kill Gerwitz's Sword and he will drop the sword Gerwitz's Sword. Whoever spawned the mob should lot on and take the Gerwitz's Sword.
  • The final ??? is in H-10 on the same map in the small square room at the south end of the map.
  • When ready, trade Gerwitz's Sword to the ??? to spawn Gerwitz's Soul, a Ghost NM around level 54.
  • Kill Gerwitz's Soul.
  • Exit to La Theine Plateau from the same map at G-10 and you'll get a cutscene, receive your boots, and complete the quest.
