Walkthrough

NOTE: The Steam Clock, which is needed to finish this quest, may be available at the Auction House.

  • Talk to Malene; a monster stole a parcel she was expecting and she asks you to find it for her. The problem is the monster who stole it is hiding near the lighthouse and won't come out. She mentions another adventurer named Dalzakk who might know how to lure the monster out. Dalzakk lives in a house on Kulatz Bridge.
    • (Optional) Go to Dalzakk's house. He isn't home so talk to Gwill. Gwill gives you the hint about the monster, put a Quus behind the lighthouse.
  • Obtain a Quus.
  • Find the ??? behind the lighthouse at South Gustaberg (M-10) and trade the Quus to it. You may have to wait a bit for the monster Bubbly Bernie to appear.
  • Defeat Bubbly Bernie to obtain a Steam Clock.
Note
The monster is soloable by any job over level 10. If you have a Steam Clock in your inventory, Bubbly Bernie will not drop another. You must trade the one you have to Malene beforehand.
  • Trade the clock to Malene to complete the quest.
