  3. Find the Historian, Rodafrian (morocc_in 45, 126), in the Morocc Inn. She will recite a song, but can't quite remember the whole lyrics. It doesn't matter what you enter, she wants you to find her colleague Mondo at Mount Mjolnir and ask for the lyrics she forgot.

  4. Find the Historian, Mondo (mjolnir_01 135, 168). His version of the song is different and he wants to know the lyrics Karlomoff found during his research.

    The great serpent swallowed the sea.
    
    The eagle of the rainbow swallowed the serpent.
    
    Then the eagle built its nest.
    
    A nest upon the swallowed sea.
    

  5. Mondo tells you about a kid, who sang his version of the song.
    Climb the path up to and hear the Dazed Boy (mjolnir_01 313, 269) singing the rhyme.

  8. Bonnie Imbullea speaks about the incident and noticed some details from that time. You decide to return to Father Bamph to inform him about your findings.

  9. You will be asked to investigate the bodies of the dead princes in the secret ceremonial grounds, through the secret path in the cabinet.

  10. Talk to Father Bamph and examine the bodies in the order you were told to. The marks on the princes only allow for one conclusion, "Poison!".

  11. Return to the room upstairs and continue your conversation with Father Bamph. He will ask you to go to the Assassin Guild near Morocc to find out more about a poison, that could be used.

  12. Talk to the Assassin Guildsman (moc_fild16 201, 295) in front of the Assassin Guild and that you want to speak to a poison specialist.
    You should go to the Assasin's Private Pub in Morocc and find someone named Marjana.

  13. Enter the Assassin's Private Pub (morocc 45, 107) in Morocc.

    Note

    • If your character is any class other than Assassin, you need to distract the Sharp-Looking Kid, Jack, by paying 1,000 Zeny to enter.
    • It may take a couple of tries walking into the portal before Jack gives you the option to bribe him.

  14. Find Marjana (que_job01 10, 16) who will explain the method of using a 715.png Yellow Gemstone and 506.png Green Potion to identify poison.

    Note

    Players will only have 4 minutes to remain in the room.

  15. Leave the pub through exit to trigger a dialogue.
