You need a Dark Hunter with at least level 8 Whips to retrieve the map, and in return he offers to trade his Rook and Knight for your King.

She speaks of her past, and how her party went on an expedition beyond a secret entrance on 6F, which left her as the only survivor with a scar as a reminder of that event.

You have to traverse the secret area, starting from unlocking the door with the Tree Key on 9F. The secret area leads all the way to the southern area of 6F, a large corridor with one-way passages linking several large rooms together. Aim for the room in the southeast corner and retrieve the Red Tablet in the center of that room.

Bring the Red Tablet to Marion to learn of her mission, then turn in the completed quest.

Unlock: 28F, complete "The item trade IV"

Reward: 100,000en

With the help of the Gold Book, the "throne of thunder" has been pinpointed at the secret area of the 4th Stratum. A hidden passageway unlocks on the north side of 18F, leading into sector A-4. Follow it into the northeast corner of sector A-7 and defeat the Dragon.

After the Dragon's initial defeat, it gets up, and one of the following ensues:

• If you didn't save the baby monster in "An ethical dilemma", Canaan personally arrives to deliver the coup de grace.
• If you saved the monster but don't have a Survivalist in the party, the monster will give its life in taking down the Dragon.
• If you saved the monster and have a Survivalist in the party, Canaan will hand your Survivalist the Divide Bow who delivers the finishing blow, sparing the monster.

Return to the location where you found the Red Plate. Marion's rendered helpless when the God Sword shatters, and you have to battle the Wyrm yourself. After its defeat, the Tree Bud transforms into the Ygg Sword, one of the strongest swords in the game.

Reward: 100,000en

Speak to Minister Dubois and refuse his offer to give up the request. He'll speak of Briareus, which has claimed many adventurers and guards.

Answer Yes → No → No to proceed through the passages that comprise the last uncharted inches of the floor. Answering wrongly returns you to the Geomagnetic Pole.

Speak its name and get transported into the uncharted central room, and defeat the Briareus. Defeating the monster also earns you Hyuga, one of the strongest katanas in the game.
