• Removed badge information, you can find an up-to-date list in Faith's Guide to zOMG Badges

Each area will include a small descriptions, a suggested Charge Level for your rings, and general map links along with specialized map links. This information will be found at the very beginning of each post.

Next you'll find a list of quests. Where appropriate I'll try and group quests according to the chain they are in. You'll also notice some quest will have a prerequisite quest listed. There will also be images of the NPCs involved in the quest to the right of each one. Where appropriate you'll find notes and links to maps on each quest.

Towards the bottom of each post you should find some Hints and Tips for the area and Badges you can attain in the area along with the qualifications for the badge.

Rings Drops: All creatures drop rings, though they are a 'rare' drop. To increase your chances of getting a ring, run around with a crew. Everyone in your crew gets a chance at drops for each creature killed. The early major quest chains will also give you rings.

Killing Quests: Anytime you get a quest asking you to kill X number of an Animated, or to kill a Mini-Boss you must get on the hate list of the Animated to receive credit. This is done by attacking the Animated, Healing or Buffing people that are actively fighting the animated.

Quest Chains: Basically most quests are one BIG chain. However you can start in each area without having finished the quest chain in a previous area, BUT you will miss out on a few quests and their rewards. Each quest chain should send you on to the next area, however a few quests may no longer be available to you if you skipped forward. Notably there is a Katsumi quest from Rubella that you cannot get if you have already spoken with Katsumi prior to getting the quest from Rubella, so if you want to enjoy the quests and their rewards to their fullest, don't skip ahead!!

Quest Rewards: After you finish a quest you'll hear a "Tada" type noise in the background. You'll also receive some gold and charge orbs. Some quests will also provide an additional reward such as a recipe. Quests that give an additional reward will have a "Special Rewards" section added to them.

Chests/Crates/Baskets: When opening these you may get gold, orbs, loot drops and/or a ring. If you get nothing from opening it, you will get one of two messages. They are:
1. "There is nothing in there for you"
- This means that you have recently opened this and you may only open each chest/crate/basket once per Gaian day
2. Something relating to "empty air"
- Your CL is too high for this particular chest/crate/basket. If you lower your CL to the correct range, it will drop things for you. You can check the suggested CL for each area to see about where you should be.

You might notice as you read that I throw around a few terms or acronyms you may not be used to hearing if you are new to zOMG. I'll try and briefly list and describe them below. If some word I've used confuses you and you don't see it here, don't hesitate to say something.

Badges: Badges work through the quest system. You don't need to talk to anyone or accept anything. You simply get them by killing a certain number of an Animated or by visiting specific places. You can also get them from the mini-games in zOMG. Every time you finish a quest, you should here a specific sound and your quest log button should also start glowing, the same is true for Badges. You can view your Badges by looking in your completed Quest log in the game or under My Gaia. You can display your badges for all to see if you are using the current profile system add the content box for Badges.

The Animated: these in short are the monsters in zOMG that you'll be fighting. Throughout your quests you should hear about them.

CL or Charge Level: When you finish quests you'll receive charge orbs (also you get them from monsters occasionally). You'll want to invest these into your rings to increase their charge. Your charge level is the average charge of all the rings you are currently wearing. You can see this by looking at your player information in the game. You also may notice that your average CL isn't your exact average, there is a bit of a curve added to the average CL to make it a bit easier for those users who may not get regular ring drops and thus have a few empty slots that are counted as CL 1.

Crew: A crew is a group or party. On the bottom of your screen you should see a button with multiple people. If you press it, it'll open a new little window on your screen that has your crew members in it. If you join a crew it will also automatically open.

Box: Each map is split up into boxes. You can only view one box at a time, unless you are transitioning from one box to the next, then you will watch the screen scroll to the next box, once the box is done loading you can only see that box. You can however see Animated indicators for the next box when you walk near the edge.

Farm: This word is not used in the traditional sense of the word, you don't actually do any physical farming in the game. When I talk about farming a chest, that means you will camp the area and repeatedly kill the spawn and open the chest to collect the orbs hidden within.

Camp: To camp an area means you don't move from where you are and wait for the spawn to pop.

Spawn: The animated have specific places they appear. When one pops up that means it spawned and is thus often called a spawn and the place it spawned is the spawn point.

For these first few areas of zOMG you'll pretty much be following a specific path, though you can always choose to just explore or kill the Animated. Do note that the Training Sequence Sewers and the Sewers for Barton Quests are very different!

This whole section has changed for the billionth time. I will eventually go hop on a mule and do it again so I can give you a real update. They better stop with the changing soon or I'll run out of mules. razz

Trick or Treating: (This is only available when the Halloween Event is up, zOMG start may be different from the forum start) Between 6pm-6am GST (Dusk to Dawn) you can trick or treat in Barton. Walk around the town and click on the big pumpkins next to NPCs. You should get a dialogue that pops up. You can get gold, charge orbs, null fragments, recipes and loot when you get a treat.

If you get a tricked, you'll get warped to another location, an exploding cigar or a pumpkin fluff will spawn. The Pumpkin Fluffs will occasionally drop gold or a Oh My Gumball.

Step 3: Walk across the rounded bridge heading south. You should get ambushed by Kokeshi Dolls. Destroy them all. (Kill the Kokeshi Collectible to finish this step)
Step 4: Walk across the stone bridge. You should get ambushed by Taiko Drums. Destroy them all. (Kill the Taiko Bass Drum to finish this step)
Step 5: Walk across other rounded bridge. You should get ambushed by Ghost Lanterns (Needs to be night time). Destroy them all. (Kill the Ghost Lamp to finish)
Step 6: Return to Kin for your reward.
Notes: At each bridge there should be one of the creatures that is tougher than the rest. You will probably want to do this quest with a crew due to the number of Animated you'll be facing at each bridge. The order of the bridges is indicated on this map.
Special Rewards: Recipe: Ninja Sword and your choice of a ring that drops in the area.

The Drums! The Drums! I can't stand the DRUMS!
Step 1: Speak with the guard Trip.

Step 1: Speak with Wish Tree to accept the quest.
Step 2: Find the following Wish Tree's Vision locations: 1) We see a high place =we see for miles!= near old stone where water once ran {the fighting!} where now only strife flows. [the strife tastes like FOOD]. 2) The wind {We love the wind} blows giant leaves around on a giant tree (not a tree) =must be a tree= not made by the world (ancient ancestor) {GAIA!}, but by those that live on it. [feeble frail things] {YOU!} 3) We will tell one more. A lance of light {so bright!} stabs out over a grey pond with no shores =big, big, BIG= bellowing out at the darkness.
Step 3: Wander around the Old Aqueduct until you get a red message on your screen saying that you found a part of the Wish Trees Vision. (If you walk along the path coming down from Gold Beach, you should hit the right spot once you are under the Aqueduct on the path, marked on this map)
Step 4: Walk around the windmill and Bass'ken Lake until you get a red message on your screen saying that you found a part of the Wish Trees Vision. (Marked on this map)
Step 5: Walk along the grass in Gold Beach till you reach the Light House. Walk up to the door and you should see a red message pop up on your screen. (Mark on this map)
Step 6: Return to the Wish Tree for your reward.
Notes: You can visit any of the three locations in any order you wish.

There are three total chests, crates, and baskets. You can find them indicated on this map. Remember, you need to kill all the animated that spawn on the map where the chest is to open any of them.

(Drop Colors Legend: Dark Red = Rare, Red = Uncommon, Orange = Common, Black = Unsure)

Kokeshi Doll: Seemingly small and innocent, these toy dolls have become...twisted. Watch what they carry. They are NOT your fans. These dolls overall will ignore you unless you attack one of their friends near them. They have a ranged attack.
HP: 76-86
Drops: Charge Orb, Mystic Weave, Fan Wood, Fan Edge
Recipes: Kokeshi Fan, Kokeshi Doll???

Kokeshi Collectible: Unlike the fairly peaceful Kokeshi Doll, these collectibles will attack you if you come near them. Not only do these dolls throw their fan at you, but they also have a 'Boom" attack. They hang out in the Southeast corner of the map.
HP: 238
Drops: Charge Orb, Mystic Weave, Fan Wood, Fan Edge
Recipes: Kokeshi Fan

Kokeshi Nexus: Unlike the fairly peaceful Kokeshi Doll, these collectibles will attack you if you come near them. Not only do these dolls throw their fan at you, but they also have a 'Boom" attack. They hang out in the Southeast corner of the map. This will spawn on the first bridge during the Three Bridges Quest, it sometimes also called a Kokeshi Collectible
HP: 238?
Drops: Charge Orb, Mystic Weave, Fan Wood, Fan Edge
Recipes: Kokeshi Fan


Katsumi's Kokeshi Doll: This white doll will only spawn when the two Kokeshi Collectibles guarding the SE chest in Zen Gardens have been defeated. It will then proceed to lock onto the nearest threat and start tearing away at it with its fans. In addition to being the fiercest Kokeshi Doll in the area, any nearby Kokeshis will rush to its aid if they wander by close enough, and tend to concentrate all of their attacks on one person if there isn't anybody else helping, which will quickly destroy anybody without adequate protection. After you've defeated it, feel free to loot the chest it spawns next to.
HP: ???
Drops: Charge Orb
Recipe: Kokeshi Kimono

Cherry Fluff: These Fluffs may look cute and soft to the touch, but don't be deceived. They pack a mean punch and don't like to die without taking you with them. If you attack one, the others will near them will come to their aid.
HP: 81-99
Drops: Charge Orb, Pink Fluff, Lace, Thread
Recipes: Sakura Fluff Plushie

Taiko Drum: These large, hefty drums have gone wild, attacking anything nearby with a pounding shockwave of earth-shattering proportions that can hit several people at once. In addition, if you're a good distance away from it, it'll attempt to tackle you with a mighty leap, and will knock you (and perhaps a few innocent bystanders) quite far if you aren't too heavy and don't get out of the way. They tend to wander around in groups, and unprepared adventurers may find themselves being shoved around faster than they can fight back.
HP: 173-216
Drops: Charge Orb, Music Note, Laquered Wood, Bronze
Recipes: Taiko Drum

Taiko Bass Drum/Taiko Drum Nexus: This brown drum is much stronger than a normal Taiko Drum for two main reasons: tougher to hurt and a larger strike range for its shockwave attack. You'll probably want to bring a group to fight this thing. It spawns for the Three Bridges along with two normal Taiko Drums.
HP: ???
Drops: Charge Orb
Recipes: ???

Ghost Lantern: Each evening after sunset, these disembodied flames hover in the night air. If you get too close to the flames, you might not like what happens. They will transform and begin to lick you to death. You can find them at night in any place you see hanging paper lanterns.
HP: 155-172
Drops: Charge Orb, Night Fire, Silk, Wood Piece
Recipes: Forum Badge (GD), Kokeshi Kimono

Ghost Lamp/Lantern Nexus: Much like the Ghost Lanterns, this Ghost Lantern Nexus will only spawn at night and has a reddish hue to it. If you have completed the first two bridges in The Battle of Three Bridges, you will be able to meet this lamp which turns red when it begins to attack you.
HP: ???
Drops: Charge Orb

If you run around Bass'ken Lake, you may notice you'll occasionally get a Ring Box flying around the screen. If you chase after it and it alludes you, just head back to where you first saw it. It'll eventually pass you again.

If you hang around the two docks on the northern part of the map you might see the Bass'ken Lake Monster, typically referred to as Bassie by Gaians.

(Drop Colors Legend: Dark Red = Rare, Red = Uncommon, Orange = Common, Black = Unsure)

Trash Can: Whacking these trash cans seems to be the mating call of the grass fluffs and carrion fluffs. As long as the can is spawned it will only call one type of fluff. Once you destroy it, it may or may not call a different type of fluff.
HP: 800-860
Drops: None
Recipes: None

Grass Fluff: These green fluffs are the most docile creatures in the area, and will not attack you if you get close to them. However, they will defend themselves as a group, and if there's any Mother Fluff packs roaming around, they may take notice and join in the battle.
HP: 128-154
Drops: Charge Orb, Sponge, Stem
Recipes: Life Jacket, Clover Fluff Plushie

Mother Fluff Guard: Guards always surround the Mother Fluff at all times as they patrol Bass'ken. They're much tougher than normal grass fluffs. Also, the Mother Fluff may spawn more of them over time, if there are some missing in the patrol group. You will on occasion find them in a group of three without the Mother Fluff.
HP: 312-341
Drops: Charge Orb, Sponge, Stem
Recipes: Life Jacket, Clover Fluff Plushie

Mother Fluff (Goosey, Lucy, Mary Bussey): This sizable Grass Fluff is one of the stronger Animated in Bass'ken, and requires a team more often than not in order to actually kill it, aside from the fact that it always travels with several Mother Fluff Guards. In addition to being super tough, it will also spawn more guards to replace lost ones if it is not killed quickly enough. She also poops out regular grass fluffs and carrion fluffs as she hops around the southern half of the Bass'ken Lake area.
HP: 2354, 2568, 2675
Drops: Charge Orb, Sponge, Stem
Recipes: Shovel Blade

Carrion Flower Fluff: Don't be fooled by their resemblance to grass fluffs; carrion flower fluffs have both the disposition and strength of angry badgers. Try not to wander too close if you're unable to fight them. They will eat you alive as if you were a piece of carrion. Mother Fluff poops these guys out around the southern half of the Bass'ken Lake area.
HP: 192-206
Drops: Charge Orb, Suspenders, Lure
Recipes: Shovel Blade, Fisherman's Hat

Buzzsaw: Buzzsaws live in the northern section of the forests, above the river. These suckers are both annoying to listen to and can hit from a bit farther than most melee rings, so try to close the distance if you need to. They always spawn from the sawmill in groups, ranging from two to five saws, and can quickly gang up on you. Their attacks will push you around, and some of them will run away to bring back help before attacking you
HP: 150-157
Drops: Charge Orb, Saw Blade, Aluminum, Iron Ore
Recipes: Scar of the Martyr, Bass'ken Waders

Sister Buzzsaw: No Saw Family is complete without Sister Saw. Sister Saw doesn't spawn nearly as often as her mother, but if you hang around the Saw Mill long enough your are bound to see her slicing poor unsuspecting adventurers to pieces.
HP: ???
Drops: Charge Orb, Saw Blade, Aluminum, Iron Ore

Mama Buzzsaw: The mother of all saws will quickly assault anybody who is threatening her babies near the saw mill, next to the docks. There isn't much to say in terms of difference between her and her children aside from being larger and stronger.
HP: ???
Drops: Charge Orb, Saw Blade, Aluminum, Iron Ore

Papa Buzzsaw: Taking down Mama Saw will result in a very enraged Papa Saw bursting out of the saw mill. He's even larger and stronger than Mama Saw. Hope you planned this far ahead. He will only spawn if someone in the area has the Papa Sawn quest active.
HP: ???
Drops: Charge Orb, Saw Blade, Aluminum, Iron Ore

Outlaw Pup: These small dogs are scattered all across the southern edge of Bass'ken. They used to be jackets, but have recently sprouted legs and are now sporting the rugged (read: aggressive) personalities of their former owners. You'll either find them in roaming packs or on their own, sitting there all peaceful like. The ones near the Shewolf den will run away to bring back help from the cave.
HP: 168-176
Drops: Charge Orb, Cured Hide, Axe Head, Stiches
Recipes: Scar of the Tyrant, Bass'ken Claws

Outlaw Wolf: Outlaw wolves are adult versions of Outlaw Pups. That means they are bigger and badder. Watch out for their ferocious bite and claws. They guard the den, and if they're slain, the Shewolf will appear....
HP: 431
Drops: Charge Orb, Cured Hide, Axe Head, Stiches
Recipes: Scar of the Tyrant, Bass'ken Claws

Shewolf: This is one tough mutha. A crew is highly recommended. After you kill her guards the first time, she will not only appear, but her guards will respawn when she comes to fight you. She will also only spawn if someone in the area has the Mon Cheri quest active.
HP: ???
Drops: Charge Orb, Cured Hide, Axe Head, Stiches
Recipes: Scar of the Tyrant, Bass'ken Claws

Ring Box Monster: Ring boxes are few and far in the entire area, and they tend to travel faster than people, so if you want to fight it, you'll have to get its attention fast before it gets away. They travel a set path, so if you see one, you can wait in that spot to jump it as it passes by again. Be prepared for a tough fight, though; they're considerably stronger than most Animated in Bass'ken, and like other flying enemies, possess a higher dodge stat than you'd expect. However, they also contain considerable rewards, including a lot of rings (as the name implies), though they will generally be CL1.
HP: ???
Drops: Charge Orb, Ribbon, Cloth, Random number of CL 1 rings.
Recipes: Gift Box, Scar of the Rogue

Flying Gift Box Monster: Think gift boxes gone bad. Once ordinary....er, enchanted flying gift boxes (we sure have a funny definition of ordinary), for some reason, they now feel only pain and emptiness. Guess what it wants to FILL THE BOX with. They're almost the same as ring boxes, except for two facts....they only spawn (in a group) when it's nighttime, or when you've activated the windmill device.....and they're a lot more aggressive when it comes to the need to FEEEED. They won't drop a lot of rings compared to ring boxes, but they do still drop the rare ingredients and gift box recipe, both of which are highly sought after. Just be prepared to fight more than one at a time.
HP: ???
Drops: Charge Orb, Ribbon, Cloth
Recipes: Gift Box, Scar of the Rogue

[Bria_Teragram]

Description: The old boardwalk here has been purchased by a coalition of pirates and is being renovated for a massive grand opening in the future. Currently, most of the area is still sealed off as the construction continues, but some of what is changing can be seen from the beach, and the pirates give hints of things to come.
CL: 5.0-6.0
Map: Boardwalk (Small, Blank), Boardwalk (Large, Complete)
Comments: If you don't want to go to the Aqueduct yet, run over to the Beach and pick up Brodie's Anchor Bug Quest. Keep running across the Boardwalk and back to Brodie once you defeat 10 anchor bugs. Once you get bored you should head to the Aqueduct and do the Concerned Citizen's Quests.

If you come during the day time, and not Dawn/Dusk or Night, you will be able to talk to some NPC to learn more about the world and the Animated and possible new areas coming in the an expansion to the zOMG world.

There is one chest located along the Buccaneer Boardwalk. You can find it on a small island near the boardwalk.

(Drop Colors Legend: Dark Red = Rare, Red = Uncommon, Orange = Common, Black = Unsure)

Anchor Bug: These aggressive, rusty critters can hit a short distance away from their bodies since their faces act as heavy, blunt hookshots. They tend to gather in large swarms, and guard a chest on a little island.
HP: 314
Drops: Charge Orb, Ink, Brass
Recipes: Forum Badge (QA), Sailor's Anchor Tattoo

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description: This popular tourist beach is golden sand next to gentle lagoon-like waves. Surfers paddle far out past the barrier reef to catch the bigger waves there, and they swear that the rides are worth the effort. A lighthouse stands high over the beach, warning ships about the reef so they don't add to the countless shipwrecks found throughout the Shallow Sea.
CL: 6.0-7.0 (crew recommended for Anchor Bug mobs and Sand Fluffs)
Map: Beach (Small, Blank), Beach(Large, Complete)
Comments: Before staying in Gold Beach for an extended amount of time you should head to the Aqueduct. The animated there tend to be at a slightly lower level and have less painful special abilities. The lower anchor bugs in the Beach are slightly higher than the Anchor Bugs in the Boardwalk, and can suffice for a while if you want to keep doing Brodie's quest, but you should find the Aqueduct to be a bit more versatile, until you can handle more of the beach than just a few screens.

Memento Detector

Step 2: Locate the five mementos lost by Jacques in Gold Beach. Listen for the frequency of your detector's beeps. The faster it beeps the closer you are to a memento.

There are lots of chests and crates in Gold Beach, take advantage!

(Drop Colors Legend: Dark Red = Rare, Red = Uncommon, Orange = Common, Black = Unsure)

Anchor Bug: These aggressive, rusty critters can hit a short distance away from their bodies since their faces act as heavy, blunt hookshots. They tend to gather in large swarms, and guard several chests in the sandy areas.
HP: 353-389
Drops: Charge Orb, Ink, Brass
Recipes: Forum Badge (QA), Sailor's Anchor Tattoo

Sand Fluff: Sure, you've seen other fluffs before and can handle these, right? WRONG. Sand fluffs can slow you down and then grind away at you with DoT damage, which isn't blocked by defense, but willpower. They'll also rush to the aid of another sand fluff if you hit one near them, and their collective assault has meant many a demise to the unwary. On the upside, they don't really care at all until you actually hit them. Bring either a ranged attack or an iron will ring to deal with these things.
HP: 258-290
Drops: Charge Orb, Synthetic Fiber, Glass
Recipes: Sand Fluff Plushie, Sun Block

Sand Castle Golem/98-Pound Weakling/Beach Bully: Once thousands of sand castles swept beneath high tide or strong winds, these things are now alive and furious at pretty much anybody. They'll strike normally with their lances, or if you're trying to run away or ranged attack them, dive beneath the sand and suddenly burst out of the ground like a subterranean Kool-Aid man. Both attacks will shove you backwards.
HP: 364-381
Drops: Charge Orb, Seashell, Gold
Recipes: Shell Collection, Cat's Eye Sunglasses

Sandblast: Once thousands of sand castles swept beneath high tide or strong winds, these things are now alive and furious at pretty much anybody. They'll strike normally with their lances, or if you're trying to run away or ranged attack them, dive beneath the sand and suddenly burst out of the ground like a subterranean Kool-Aid man. Both attacks will shove you backwards.
HP: 1216
Drops: Charge Orb, Seashell, Gold
Recipes: Shell Collection, Cat's Eye Sunglasses

Sand Revenant: These look much like Sand Castle Golems but a bit bigger and stronger. They lay somewhere between the strength of a regular golem and Duneslam. You'll encounter these guys on Duneslam Island as well as two boxes south of the null crystal.
HP: ???
Drops: Charge Orb, Seashell, Gold
Recipes: Shell Collection, Cat's Eye Sunglasses

Duneslam: Duneslam's basically just a larger version of the other sand castle golems in the area, located on an island that you reach by hopping on the boat along the shore. Just pound away at him (with a crew, if needed) until he's down for the count, then claim your prize from the chest behind him. He can be noted by the dark blue bucket on his head.
HP: ???
Drops: Charge Orb, Seashell, Gold
Recipes: Shell Collection, Cat's Eye Sunglasses

Water Spout: Normally, it's quite safe to traverse the open ocean, but at night, watch out for these things. They'll hound you as soon as you get near them, and it's very easy to catch the attention of several at once, even if they don't call for help. Luckily, they're not much stronger than other enemies in the area. Just be on the lookout for those telltale ripples in the waves...
HP: 342-381
Drops: Charge Orb, Trident, Tropical Flower
Recipes: Lei, Tropical Sarong

Land Shark: These things are to be feared and respected, both for their rarity, which is worthy of the endangered status on the wildlife preservation list, or the fact that they're tough as heck and will give even a CL 10.0 a handful to deal with. Sand sharks possess a bewildering amount of HP, a ridiculous range of attack (about half the screen's length away from the actual target), and can hit several people because its lunges affect an area of attack, or AoE. Long story short: "freight train with teeth".

Should you ever encounter one of these beasties (it'll spawn in place of the other mobs in a screen), immediately call for the assistance of a crew with the traditional "HELP, THERE'S A GINORMOUS MONSTROSITY GNAWING ON ME AS IF I WERE A DEEP-FRIED TWINKIE!" followed by the description of the map location you're in....as best as you can type it out while attempting to flee a giant saw-toothed beast. Not only can you save your hide, the shark's more likely to reward the crew with some rare loot.

There is a special trigger that spawns the Land Sharks.
HP: A lot
Drops: Charge Orb, Shark Tooth, Surfboard Fin

[Bria_Teragram]

Description: The remains of the old aqueduct that was used before the Durem Reclamation Facility was created are still present here, although dilapidated and fallen now into beautiful ruin. The jungles to the northwest stretch down this far, but have not yet fully consumed the old stones. The Zurg artifact called the Star Portal lies dormant here still, guarded by a handful of ever-present GIB agents.
CL: 5.0-6.0 (crew recommended because of the roaming Commander and constant grouping by the animated)
Map: Aqueduct (Small, Blank), Aqueduct (Large, Complete)
Comments: Please note that the Tiny Terrors here don't drop anything and that they and the Predator Pups in the NW corner do not count towards kills for those mobs.

A New Species
Step 1: Speak with Concerned Citizen to accept the quest.
Step 2: The guy in the black suit asks you to check out the new alien species that came through the Star Portal, knocking out a few of them near their home burrows and finding out what sorts of things they carry.
Step 3: Return to the Concerned Citizen to receive your reward.

Scanning the Burrows (Prerequisite: Completed A New Species)
Step 1: Speak with Concerned Citizen to accept the quest.
Step 2: The guy in the black suit attached a scanner to your collar and asked you to get close to five out of eight of the P3 burrows in the area. Once the scanner reads the energies in that area, his "scientists" will decipher that info to learn more about the Pups.
Step 3: Return to the Concerned Citizen to receive your reward.
Notes: You can find all eight burrows marked on this map. Remember you only need to visit five of them.
Special Rewards: Recipe: Preda Gauntlets

Get the Transponder Portal! (Prerequisite: Completed Scanning the Burrows)
Step 1: Speak with Concerned Citizen to accept the quest.
Step 2: Find the Commander of the Predator Prairie Pups. Knock him out and take the transponder for the Star Portal that he carries on his person.
Step 3: Return to the Concerned Citizen to receive your reward.
Notes: The Commander roams around with a few Honor Guards, so if you hang out in one spot for a while, he should cross your path unless someone else gets to him first.
Special Rewards: Recipe: Preda Helmet

Through the Star Portal! (Prerequisite: Completed Get the Transponder)
Step 1: Speak with Concerned Citizen to accept the quest.
Step 2: This is not what you expected! Survive...for as long as you can!
Step 3: Return to the Concerned Citizen to receive your reward.
Notes: You'll get badges for this if you meet certain requirements. Completing this quest won't close tho Star Portal to you either. You can also find the Star Portal marked on this map.
Special Rewards: Recipe: Preda Armor

Into the Fray! (Prerequisite: Completed Through the Star Portal!??)
Step 1: Speak with Concerned Citizen to accept the quest.
Step 2: Jump into the thick of things between the Tiny Terrors and the Preda-Pups in their constant war at the base of the western hill. Defeat at least ten combatants on each side to gather details of what you see there.
Step 3: Return to the Concerned Citizen to receive your reward.
Notes: This is a repeatable quest with a CL cap of 6.1. Not all Pups or Terrors in the warzone will count, but just hang out there killing as many as you can.

Alien Salvage (Prerequisite: ??)
Step 1: Speak with GCorp Labtech to accept the quest.
Step 2: Salvage 20 damaged biochips by defeating Predator Prairie Pups, Squad Leaders, or even the Commander himself.
Step 3: Return to the GCorp Labtech to receive your reward.
Notes: This is a repeatable quest with a CL cap of 6.1. On occasion you will get a ring as a reward instead of orbs.

The Vox Stellarum (Prerequisite: ??)
Step 1: Speak with the True Believer, George, to accept the quest.
Step 2: The True Believers know that the scouts in the woods, east of the burrows, are using communicators to report back to their commanders. They believe that these communicators might be the key to deciphering the pup language so they can negotiate a peace instead of war. Attack the predator pups until you get one of the communicators.
Step 3: Return to George to receive your reward.
Notes: This is a repeatable quest with a CL cap of 6.1. When in the right area you should get a message that tells you whether or not you got a communicator. This means when you kill one of the pups it'll either say you didn't or you did. If you aren't getting those messages, make sure you are near or in the trees.

If you head up the mountain path to the Null Crystal you will also find a number of NPCs. Talk to any with a "..." bubble over their head to learn more about the Animated.

(Drop Colors Legend: Dark Red = Rare, Red = Uncommon, Orange = Common, Black = Unsure)

Predator Prairie Pup: These aliens burst forth from the Star Portal when it activated, and now they're stranded here. Similar to ET, they're somewhat cuddly looking. However, unlike ET, they're packing heat, which affects both Animated and normal living things alike. They can attack from both close and far ranges.

You'll want to watch out for faint blurs on your screen, since they're always using their active camoflauge when not attacking, and it's unlikely that you'll ever find one by itself. You can target them with autolocking (use the ~ key), but this will only display one of them at a time, and it's easy to get disoriented in a majestic plume of laser fire.
HP: 245-289
Drops: Charge Orb, Kevlar, Damaged Biochip
Recipes: Preda-Rang, Pink Alien Tattoo

Predator Squad Leader: You'll either find these white-colored soldiers leading a pack of pups, or in a group of three squad leaders. They're slightly tougher than pups, and they prefer to use their claws. Lasers aren't entirely out of the equation, though.
HP: 589-599
Drops: Charge Orb, Fauxskin, Wetware Plastic
Recipes: Green Alien Tattoo, Alien Raygun

Honor Guard: This special Squad Leader hangs out with the Commander. They will add an extra bit of toughness to any fight with the Commander, you may want to bring a crew to help take out these guys while fighting the Commander. You will also find these guys hanging out where Squad Leaders spawn.
HP: 631
Drops: Charge Orb, Fauxskin, Wetware Plastic
Recipes: Green Alien Tattoo, Alien Raygun

Predator Commander: This blood red hunter usually patrols the outlying forests of the Aqueduct, searching for any intruders. It's as tough as nails, and is always surrounded by a sizable patrol group. A crew is highly recommended to fight it.
HP: 2568
Drops: Charge Orb, Fauxskin, Wetware Plastic
Recipes: Alien Raygun

Tiny Terror: Normally, they stick to the Otami ruins, but the recent disturbance of the predator prairie dogs intruding their environment has angered their tribe, and a constant stream of Tiny Terrors can be seen pouring out of the trees next to the start of the climb up to the Aqueduct's null crystal. Further south of their spawn point, a crazed battle for supremacy is constantly being waged between the aliens and the voodoo dolls. It's amusing to watch, and a well equipped crew can also take advantage of the carnage by picking off the stragglers.

They won't bother you as long as you stay out of their sight. However, they're also weaker than the ones in the Ruins, and they don't come in groups unless you stick around for too long.
HP: 205
Drops: Charge Orb

Shockroach: Watch out, Hive bugs are escaping! They roam around the Aqueduct looking for unsuspecting victims and they travel in packs. Sometimes you will see Lightning Bugs and a Landstrider instead of these roaming bugs.

Landstrider: It seems some special animated from the Hive have escaped. These aren't your normal Walkers. These guys pack a punch and seem to have swallowed some anti-freeze after wallowing in a vat of black ink. They hang out with the other espaced lightning bugs. Sometimes you will see regular shockroaches and a Walker instead of these roaming bugs.

Description: When you enter the Star Portal you'll find yourself in this strange place. You can see many passageways, but you can hear creatures scuttling down them towards you. Try and survive as long as you can.
CL: 8+ (This is area is now scaled to the highest level CL in your crew, keep crew members green to you.)
Map: link coming

Don't get too close to the walls. Even the walls of the Hive are alive and will come out and hit you. Those tentacles will reach out and hurt you.

Remember to wait till all your crew members have died and the Game Over message has popped up so that you can receive any badge you may have won.

(Drop Colors Legend: Dark Red = Rare, Red = Uncommon, Orange = Common, Black = Unsure)

Shockroach: They're tiny, but surprisingly tough. They're also pretty fast, so it's impossible to run from them....although inside the Hive, there's pretty much nowhere to run anyway. Luckily, there's little to no risk of getting implanted with gelatinous eggs.
HP: ~400+ (CL 9.8+)

Walker: These war-of-the-worlds extras are much stronger than the shockroaches, plus they hit pretty hard if you're not a high enough level. The longer you stay in the Hive, the more of these keep coming....pretty soon, you'll be up to your armpits in squishy leg things.

[Bria_Teragram]

Description: Long ago, there was a fierce civilization of warriors that built a huge empire in the area. So ferocious was their society that they tore themselves apart with their constant aggression. Eventually, the people themselves disappeared, leaving only their monolithic statues and ruins behind to tell their story. Jungles overgrow the entire area and what was once a massive city-state is now the home of monkeys and macaws
CL: 7.0-8.0 (crew recommended due to mobbing)
Map: Otami (Small, Blank), Otami (Large, Complete)

Missing mika
Step 1: Speak with Jerry to accept the quest.
Step 2: Locate Mika on the Otami Cliffs and bring her back to Jerry. If you need help finding your way up to the cliffs, perhaps Blaze can help.
Step 3: Return to Jerry for your reward.
Notes: Once at the cliffs go right and Mika should be on the area overlooking the waterfall. Make sure you walk slowly. Mika gets easily distracted and if you are too far ahead she'll go back to the cliffs.

Returning Regular (Prerequisite: Completed Missing Mika)
Step 1: Speak with Jerry to accept the quest.
Step 2: Locate Peter at the True Believer's clearing in the Old Aqueduct and convince him to leave the clearing. George will be waiting just outside the clearing to return him to Barton Town.
Step 3: Return to Jerry in Otami Ruins once Peter has been convinced to return with George to Barton Town.
Notes: George doesn't always work. You may need to switch servers several times to find a working George. If none are working you will have to wait for the next server reset.
Special Rewards: Recipe: Barton Regulars Armor

Around the Blood Tree
Step 1: Speak with Blaze to accept the quest.
Step 2: Walk around the Blood Tree. (When you are in the area where you can see the trunk of the Blood Tree simply just walk around the trunk without moving to a new box, until you get the red message confirming you have finished this step)
Step 3: Return to Blaze for your reward.

Aiding the Twins (Prerequisite: Completed Around the Blood Tree)
Step 1: Speak with Blaze to accept the quest.
Step 2: Speak to Rin and Lin on the sacred cliffs in the west of Otami Ruins and do what they ask (In other words, do their first 3 quests).
Step 3: Return to Blaze behind the tree line in Otami Ruins after you finished and turned in The Stone Coatl quest.
Notes: After this you should head back to Jacques at the Lighthouse to learn more about where to find Blaze's Father.
Special Rewards: Recipe: Otami Loincloth, Aiding the Twins Badge

Merit in the Eyes of the Spirits (Prerequisite: Started Talk to Rin and Lin)
Step 1: Speak with Rin to accept the quest.
Step 2: Lin's voice speaks in your mind unexpectedly. "Seek out the Feathered Coatl and find one of their tail plumes as the totem for that creature. I will know when you have it and will speak to you again about the next totem."
Step 3: Lin echoes in your mind: "The Tiny Terrors carry spears with which they torment the living. Bring one of their spear heads to us as their totem."
Step 4: Lin speaks to you in your mind: "The Unliving known as the Bladed Vases sometimes contain a spirit of their combatitiveness in the shape of a Mace Head. Bring that with you when you return."
Step 5: Lin speaks to your mind: "The most coveted of the totems of the Unliving is the Jeweled Eye of the Mask of Death and Rebirth. Fight them until you find one of those totems and bring it to us with the others."
Step 6: Return to Rin and Lin with the offerings you have gathered.
Notes: The steps must be done in this exact order. Keep checking your PDA if you are unsure of what step you are on.
Special Rewards: Recipe: Otami Feather Cloak

The Gauntlet (Prerequisite: Completed Merit in the Eyes of the Spirits)
Step 1: Speak with Rin to accept the quest.
Step 2: High atop the cliffs above the ruins, you must find the idol of Chaloc, touch it, and then survive the Rain Spirit's Gauntlet.
Step 3: Return to Rin now that you have survived the Gauntlet to find out what you must next do to appease the Spirits.
Notes: You'll want to have some defensive and speed buffs on when you touch the statue, then run back to the entrance after the red message comes up. You can stay and attack the Animated that spawn after you touch the statue, but be warned, the Spirit Vases can pretty much 1-hit you. They do move slowly so if you want race a few maps up and start attacking the Masks, Coatls and Witch Doctors that spawn. Also because the masks have a quicksand effect you'll want most people in your party bringing scaredy cat rings. Try to stick together as much as possible and kill any masks you can't scare off so that no one in the party stays stuck. Once you get back to the Cliffs entrance you will have survived the Gauntlet.
Special Rewards: Recipe: Otami Grieves

The Stone Coatl (Prerequisite: Completed The Gauntlet)
Step 1: Speak with Lin to accept the quest.
Step 2: Defeat the avatar of Chaloc in pitched battle within the Throne Room of the Otami.
Step 3: Return to Lin now that you've defeated Chaloc's avatar to receive your just rewards.
Notes: Initially upon entering the throne room you will get a moment to attack a few creatures that spawned before the Stone Coatl will warp you to it. You'll want to focus mostly on defeating the Coatl, as when it dies everything else that spawns in the chamber will die with it. After you've gained access to the throne room, you can now also repeat the scene over and over to try and get the recipe drops.
Special Rewards: Recipe: Spear of Chaloc, Recipe: Club of Huitzotl, or Recipe: Obsidian Maqhuitl (randomly rewards one of the three)

Feather's For Blaze (Prerequisite: The Stone Coatl)
Step 1: Speak with Blaze to accept the quest.

Step 2: Collect 20 Spear heads for Morgan in the Otami Ruins.
Step 3: Return to Morgan for your reward.
Notes: This is a repeatable quest. CL cap is 8.9.

There are several chests, crates and baskets in the area. Take advantage!

(Drop Colors Legend: Dark Red = Rare, Red = Uncommon, Orange = Common, Black = Unsure)

Tiny Terror: These things are shrunken heads that have sprung back to life, sharing the same headhunter mentality that they fell prey to long ago. Their attacks and HP are nothing to write home about, but they usually travel in groups and are very good at swarming like fire ants. You can't really travel more than three screens in any direction without bumping into a few of these at every step in the ruins.
HP: 362-383
Drops: Charge Orb, Shield Fragment, Spear Head
Recipes: Sharktooth Knife

Witch Doctor: They're distinguished from normal Tiny Terrors by their purple garb. Unlike Tiny Terrors, they can throw their spears pretty far, which are tipped with a poison that temporarily slows you down. This wouldn't be too dangerous if it weren't for the fact that almost all of them normally patrol in the Blood Tree area with four other Tiny Terrors. Combined with their high HP and their astonishing respawn rate, unprepared people can be easily overcome by the wrath of a small army of spear-wielding maniacs.

The Witch Doctors that spawn in the Cliffs will have a higher HP.
HP: 844
Drops: Charge Orb
Recipes:

Tiny Seeker: These are similar to Tiny Witch Doctors. They can throw their spears pretty far, which are tipped with a poison that temporarily slows you down. They hang out in the Cliffs. They add increased difficulty to you Gauntlet Run.
HP: ???
Drops: Charge Orb
Recipes:

Feathered Coatl: They used to be statues, but now they're flying snakes. Imagine that. Well, you don't have to: they guard the lake area, the climb to the gauntlet, a certain treasure box, and the entrance to the west side of the cliffs area.

In addition to being able to fly over any obstacle, they can push you backwards slightly, which is then compounded by the fact that they only spawn in groups, and a flock of these things can shove you all the way across a screen if you don't take them down fast.

The Feathered Coatl's that spawn in the Cliffs will have a higher HP.
HP: 372-398
Drops: Charge Orb, Tropical Bird Feather, Damascus
Recipes: Mermaid Tattoo

Bladed Vase: This is one antique that you're going to have a tough time taking to an appraisal. They guard the temple and when you approach they'll begin spinning wildly with their blades outstretched.
HP: 367-393
Drops: Charge Orb, Chain Link, Mace Head
Recipes: Lime Ring Pop

Mask of Death and Rebirth: With a name as long as that, you know these things are tough. And they are. They're smart enough to attempt to stay out of melee range; they fire lasers out of their eyes, and they're hella tough. In addition to that, they have three different attacks depending on their form, which changes as you wear them down. There's your standard LAZOR BEEM that shoves you pretty far back, a constant spray of shots that eats away at your HP, and a poisonous gas that paralyzes you so you can't move to attack them at close range if you're too slow to get up in their grill. That last one's pretty nasty....you'll want to close the distance as soon as one sees you.

They'll show up if you happen to cross a staircase that they're guarding. And they guard most of the staircases. So be wary when you cross one. There's also one that guards the temple entrance, and three particularly strong ones that sit in a row below the staircase to the Gauntlet. And don't think that you can snipe them from the staircase: they hover, so they'll basically be able to float over anything that's between you and them.

The Masks that spawn in the Cliffs will have a higher HP.
HP: 1605-1669
Drops: Charge Orb, Jewel Eye, Carbon
Recipes: Otami Jewelery

Lightning/Thunder/Storm: These Vases are not to be trifled with. They are nearly undefeatable. Your only choice is to run from the vicious whirling blades of these death gods.
HP: 84,000??
Drops: Charge Orb
Recipes:

Stone Coatl: The Avatar of Chaloc is the big daddy of everything in the ruins. Similar to a heavy metal concert, it's got your standard MEGA DETH LAZOR ATTACK and PRETTY UNCOMFORTABLE FIRE BREATH, and it's also got the ability to pull you within its reach should you try to stay away from it. Somewhat a blessing in disguise, though....you'll never have to worry about being out of melee range.

The fixtures in its lair also spout a neverending stream of enemies (simulating what could be perceived as a mosh pit), so be sure to stay out of range of that blasted death mask and shake off the rest with a little Dervish lovin. As soon as the giant snake dies, so do they, so try to focus on slaying it. Also, the door slams shut as soon as you enter, so there's no way out until you win or die.
HP: 20,034??

There are two chests in the Shallow Sea. You can find them indicated by a C on this map.

(Drop Colors Legend: Dark Red = Rare, Red = Uncommon, Orange = Common, Black = Unsure)

Barnacle Fluff: Thank Gaia these things aren't like their other, more dangerous cousins. The only thing that's going for them is that they spawn in ridiculously large groups if you bring a full crew down here. They make great farming, though.
HP: 1537 (hard)
Drops: Charge Orb, Starfish, Graphite
Recipes: Coral Fluff Plushie

Brain Clam: The mysterious energy that's been bringing the Animated to life has somehow mutated these clams, augmenting them with bulging grey matter. They CAN hop around, so you can't just range them from safety. They're not as group friendly as the other Animated here, but it doesn't matter much when they can grip you to the spot with their sharp tentacles. Luckily, they don't hurt quite as much as Sand Fluffs, plus they're usually close enough to stab them repeatedly as you phone the sexual harrassment hotline.

Drops: Charge Orb, Lobsterclaw, Brass

Sea Spout: Once again, not much difference, except being stronger. Some of them have developed the ability to paralyze you, though. And most of them are guarding the area in groups. In fact, they seem to be organizing in a most unusual fashion, like the gnomes in the Village Greens. Hm...
HP: 1007 (hard)
Drops: Charge Orb, Sword Blade, Seaweed

Sea Witch Protector: These are just like a Sea Spout, but larger and much harder hitting.

HP: 2046 (hard)
Drops: Charge Orb, Sword Blade, Seaweed

Queen Lorelei: The Queen of the Sea Spouts. She's tough, but her guards are much more dangerous, you just need to hit her a lot more to take her down.

Comments: The last three areas are instanced. The number of animated that spawn is also based on your crew size. The bigger your crew, the more there is to kill.

There are two crates just to the right when you first enter. There is also a chest on the second area of the Ledge and then a Locker on the third area.

To continue on to the Sealab Compound you need to kill the Grunny Sub Commander. He will have a combination that will open the locker and then if you head into the cave you will then have access to the Sealab.

Grunny Sub: It's a grunny. In a submarine. Who the heck taught grunnies how to pilot submarines, followed by qualifying them for submarine leases? Grunny subs are usually guarding important areas (like choke points) in groups.

They're skittish and will stay back from you as they fire their torpedoes. For those not familiar with torpedoes, they're these pointy jet-propelled tubes that usually go BOOM on contact, hitting everything in the area and causing whatever's not nailed down to go flying backwards.
HP: 1060 (hard)
Drops: Charge Orb, Harpoon, Spring

Grunny Sub Commander: This grunny is bigger and badder. Well, he's still the same size as the other grunny subs, but he is a lot tougher. He drops something special you need to move on to the next area..

Sealab Compound

Description: As you walked through the Underwater Ledge, you will have glimpsed the center of the Sea Lab Compound. But to get there you must first face the dangerous and rather scary Robofish. Don't let the Giant Octopus in the background distract you, it's too busy eying everyone in the Shallow Seas. After you get past the deadly Robofish, you'll find a short passage and then you will finally gain access to the central compound.
CL: 8+ (Area is scaled to the highest CL in your party. You need at least 3 people in your crew to reach the very end)
Comments: The last three areas are instanced. The number of animated that spawn is also based on your crew size. The bigger your crew, the more there is to kill.

What do you do?!

Now that you find yourself in the Sealab, what do you do? Simple answer is, go fight stuff.

Follow all the paths until you get inside the actual compound. Everything up into the compound is simple, keep moving and fighting, there is only one direction to move.

What do you do to face the boss?

Check the Spoilers Section to the End-of-Chapter. First two paragraphs tell you how to get into the Boss Room. But may be a bit spoilerish. wink

If you don't want any spoilers.... just explore the whole map and make sure you flip the three switches (which excludes the center one) at the same time. Flip the center one after and head into the final room for the best surprise of all.

(Drop Colors Legend: Dark Red = Rare, Red = Uncommon, Orange = Common, Black = Unsure)

(Note: For now I'm only listing the Robofish and Grunny Sub, there are Other Animated in the area)
Robofish: The tangled masses of shipwrecks have come back to haunt their dark, watery graves. These rusty anglerfish aren't visible except for a old-fashioned ship's lantern, up until the point where you walk right into their ambush, and they start getting all OMNOMNOM on ya, usually in pairs or triples. They're pretty well armored, but not particularly dangerous outside of that.

Map: Null Crystal Locations

This is a special underground area. If you want to charge your rings or switch what rings you want to wear, this is the place to go.

If you get dazed, you will head to the null chamber. Of course if you are crewing and someone has a Defibrillate ring they can revive you right where you are standing.

The Null Chamber can also be used as a personal chauffeur. If you've touched the Null Crystals located on various maps you will become attuned to them and once inside the Null Chamber you can teleport to any location where you've visited the crystal. The only Null Crystal you don't need to touch is the Village Greens as you will automatically be attuned to it.

Crystals can be found in:
Village Greens
Bill's Ranch
Zen Gardens
Bass'ken Lake
Gold Beach
Old Aqueduct

While its not recommended to enter an area above your Charge Level (CL), there are a few of the crystals you can reach without encountering any aggressive animated. Do note that because the gates in Barton are locked to you if you aren't a high enough CL level for the area, but most areas can be reached through other maps, but you will often have to walk through areas with high aggro monsters to get there.
