Story 79 Old wise man Told By Mordant

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A long time ago, during one of my journeys, I met an old man ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ whoose search for the 'spirit essence' had led him to those ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ who knew the most about it. He trained both his mind and his ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ body, and soon they both became one. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ But before he could finish his studies, a vicious ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ internal fight took place, and he decided not to get involved. ~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Therefore, he left the place, seeking a more tranquil ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ surrounding. On his journey to his new home, he ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ encountered many dangers, which increased his ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ knowledge about the creatures in the area. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Finally, when he thought he had climbed far enough, he built ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ a small hut, and started out on his new life. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~ Some time later, one of the members of his old community, fleeing ~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ from his master, settled down nearby. But ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ that, is another story. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Walkthrough

Location: Kyoda,

head south over the ford (look ford to make sure it is safe to cross) and enter the temple compound (bang gong),

go south till you are in the room with the Grandmaster.

Type Drink water to start the quest.

Head back across the ford and go east immedaitely into the area with the demons and gnolls.

From the ford go: 3xe, se, 2xe, climb slope. You will then have to head up the mountain, its pretty much one way till you get to the waterfall.

Type Hug Cliff and enter the waterfall. If you get swept into the river, chances are that you will get swept out into the sea,
DON'T PANIC! swim south and you'll end back at the docks.

If you make it through the waterfall you'll have a few rooms of ice hounds to kill and a few rooms where winds will try to blow you off the cliff. Keep going until you enter a room with no onward exits and snow apes. Kill them and get out your trusty shovel (you did remember to bring it right?)

Dig snow, dig snow again and keep digging until you clear the exit, rinse and repeat for a few rooms until you reach the summit. I think you ring bell, knock on the door or something, its pretty obvious in the description.

Go in and fight you way north till you reach the room with The Sifu. He's a tough SoB and has two guards with him as well.

He will cast a Dark Chi attack draining your life and replenishing him, go in with AoE, get rid of the other NPC's and then wail on him.

YOU HAVE TO GET THE DEATHBLOW. If there is a group, rinse and repeat until EVERYONE who needs to do the quest has the deathblow.

Then head all the way back down the mountain to the grandmaster and check out the pool again to get your reward.

Reward: You should receive command meditate as reward (One of the most important things you'll need! Increase GP regen rate) You will gain favour with temple of the smiling lotus and xp and plat.
