''This is the level 55 quest involving [[Arios the Battered]]. Players must first be flagged by being present when [[Grundle]] dies, then follow [[Arios the Battered]] through several named encounters before repairing a sword with [[Grimm Brellhand]].''

== Requirements ==

To become flagged for this quest, you must kill [[Grundle]] or be within range when [[Grundle]] dies.

[[Grundle]] is located in [[Geomancer's Citadel]], but can also be reached from the [[Cyclops Fortress]] zone by finding the tunnel under the river.

'''Important:''' Try to remain in line of sight and close to [[Grundle]] when he dies. The exact range of the flag is unclear.

'''Note:''' It is rumored that logging off after [[Grundle]] dies may cause the flag to be lost. To be safe, do not log off before speaking with [[Arios the Battered]].

== Walkthrough ==

=== Step 1: Spawn Arios the Battered ===

After receiving the [[Grundle]] flag, travel along the road from [[Jared's Blight]] toward [[Highpass Hold]].

When you reach the dual outpost guarded by two skeletons, [[Arios the Battered]] will spawn.

Speak with [[Arios the Battered]]. He tells you to travel to [[Box Canyon]] and seek out [[Pasha]].

'''Note:''' If multiple players were flagged from [[Grundle]], everyone should speak with [[Arios the Battered]] while he is up. Do not wait for him to despawn and attempt to respawn him again.

=== Step 2: Travel to Pasha's Chamber ===

Travel to [[Box Canyon]] (NE) and enter [[Pasha]]'s chamber.

Invisibility is recommended while traveling through the area.

When you reach the chamber, a trigger will inform you that [[Skahyir]] is behind you.

=== Step 3: Defeat Skahyir ===

Defeat [[Skahyir]].

[[Skahyir]] is not especially difficult to solo, but his breath attack can crit heavily.

After defeating [[Skahyir]], return to [[Arios the Battered]] in [[Forkwatch]].

=== Step 4: Receive the Bloodletter Targets ===

Speak with [[Arios the Battered]] in [[Forkwatch]].

He gives you a list of enemies that must be defeated before [[Bloodletter]] can be spawned.

The required enemies are:

* [[Ealin The Mad]]
* [[Rip Claw]]
* [[Crocosaraus]]

=== Step 5: Defeat Ealin The Mad ===

Travel to [[Takish Hiz]] and locate the entrance to [[Lord Chardith]]'s lair.

[[Ealin The Mad]] spawns near this entrance.

Defeat [[Ealin The Mad]] and loot the required item.

=== Step 6: Defeat Rip Claw ===

Travel to [[The Hunt]].

[[Rip Claw]] spawns in the hills with the [[Ancient Manticore]] mobs.

Defeat [[Rip Claw]] and loot the required item.

=== Step 7: Defeat Crocosaraus ===

Travel to [[Lake Noregard]].

[[Crocosaraus]] spawns on the island in the middle of the lake. To spawn him, kill [[Tae Ew Hierophant]] mobs.

[[Crocosaraus]] usually spawns inside the crocodile-head rock formation.

Defeat [[Crocosaraus]] and loot the required item.

=== Step 8: Return to Arios the Battered ===

After defeating [[Ealin The Mad]], [[Rip Claw]], and [[Crocosaraus]], return to [[Arios the Battered]].

He sends you to the [[Isle of Dread]] to defeat [[Bloodletter]].

=== Step 9: Spawn Bloodletter ===

Travel to the [[Isle of Dread]].

After entering the zone, go left until you find a [[Garmaund Ritualist]] standing beside an altar.

Speak with the [[Garmaund Ritualist]] to spawn [[Bloodletter]].

If [[Bloodletter]] is already up, he may still be killed for this step.

'''Important:''' The quest-spawned [[Bloodletter]] is stronger than the normal version.

=== Step 10: Defeat Bloodletter ===

Defeat [[Bloodletter]] and loot the sword.

[[Bloodletter]] can be killed with a small group if properly prepared. Useful resistances include Arcane Resistance, Fire Resistance, and Lightning Resistance.

Have the group hide behind a rock to avoid his area-of-effect attack when possible.

'''Important:''' Do not delete the sword looted from [[Bloodletter]]. It is needed later in this quest and is also required for the [[Arios the Battered 59]] quest, where it is used to debuff the [[Anvil of Sarek]].

'''Note:''' The random-spawn version of [[Bloodletter]] may not drop the sword unless the quest is logged.

=== Step 11: Return to Arios the Battered ===

Return to [[Arios the Battered]] after defeating [[Bloodletter]].

He sends you to defeat two more enemies:

* [[Quintashi's Handmaiden]]
* [[Giant Skeleton]]

=== Step 12: Defeat Quintashi's Handmaiden ===

Travel to [[Abysmal Sea]].

[[Quintashi's Handmaiden]] can be found in the deep ravines.

Defeat [[Quintashi's Handmaiden]] and loot the required item.

=== Step 13: Defeat the Giant Skeleton ===

Travel to [[Elephant Graveyard]].

The [[Giant Skeleton]] roams throughout the zone.

Find and defeat the [[Giant Skeleton]], then loot the required item.

=== Step 14: Speak with Grimm Brellhand ===

Return to [[Arios the Battered]] after defeating [[Quintashi's Handmaiden]] and the [[Giant Skeleton]].

[[Arios the Battered]] sends you to [[Grimm Brellhand]] in [[Gramash Ruins]] to repair the sword.

Bring 15,000 Tunar to cover the repair cost.

Speak with [[Grimm Brellhand]] and have the sword repaired.

'''Important:''' Keep the repaired sword. It is needed during the [[Arios the Battered 59]] quest to debuff the [[Anvil of Sarek]].

=== Step 15: Return to Arios the Battered ===

Return to [[Arios the Battered]] with the repaired sword.

Speak with him to complete the quest and receive 56,000,000 XP and a class-specific reward.
