Quest[]
1.Mutual Benefit[]
Hahaha, it's all over now!
All over!
Now I just have to open this gate...
Ah, ah!
Who's there?
You're... you're not with the Byzantine army, are you?
In that case, you'd better just be on your way.
What're you staring at?
Just mind your own business!
You don't look like you belong here.
I don't know how you got in, but I think you should return to where you came from.
(But this traveler might be useful...)
Hey, wait! Don't go yet!
Stupid. You'll get caught by the soldiers looking like that.
Okay, put this on.
You've seen one of these before, right?
This is an Imperial Guard's Jacket.
Put it on before anybody sees you.
Mission: Use Guard's Jacket x1
Don't worry, you can trust me.
...
Haha, we should work together.
But be careful not to do anything stupid. You'd better follow my directions to the letter.
Reward:
- Experience: 36,000
- Gold: 42,500
- Item: Guard's Jacket x1
2. Gaius the Coward[]
I haven't introduced myself, have I?
I'm General Gaius of the Byzantine Empire.
I'm Constantinople's right-hand man, along with Captain Giustiniani.
You don't believe it, do you? Haha.
I wouldn't accept that attitude from one of my men. But, since we could benefit from this meeting, I'll let it go.
I hope you appreciate my generosity here.
...
I'm sorry. Right, right.
I know I'm the one asking for your help.
But you'd better not just leave me here. I can give you something good if you help me.
Please help me.
Constantinople Palace will not hold. It's a miracle that we've held of the Turkish Army's 150,000 men with our 7,000 this long.
But it's only a matter of time now.
Captain Giustiniani says reinforcements will come if they defend the palace a little while longer, but our men are physically and mentally exhausted from a siege that's lasted more than 50 days.
I'll explain my reasons later, but I must see your equipment.
Come on, don't dally. Show me your inventory!
Mission: Open Inventory Window
Well, well. Aren't you well armed?
Yes, you'll do.
Reward:
- Experience: 108,000
- Gold: 127,500
3. Kerkoporta Postern[]
My plan is to sell information to the Turks and unlock the postern so that the Sultan's Janissaries can come inside the palace.
...What? It's cowardly?
Hmph! I can't die yet! If we are to lose, isn't it best to give the winning side a reason to not have me executed?
A merchant named Orban is said to have gained a fortune by selling cannons to the Turkish soldiers. Why not me?
A soldier named Pool has a key to the postern. Or was it Pone?
Whatever the name, the key is held by a mere soldier. I hear they're guarding the palace along with the Farmer Conscripts.
It's almost impossible to find him now, so why don't you go to Constantinople Palace Chalke and just kill everyone who looks like a conscript?
Take any key bundles you see.
Mission: Key Bundle x30
Hand it over, hand it over!
We're in a hurry, so I'll just try every key until I find the right one.
Reward:
- Experience: 216,800
- Gold: 255,000
- Item: Conqueror's Equipment Box x1
4. Hidden Jar[]
Damn it!
How could we end up with a bunch of keys that don't fit?
Maybe it was too much to hope for that we'd find that Pone fellow among the conscripts.
But there are other ways.
It's a little tedious, but we can make a new key if we can get the original design.
It's said that there's a Hidden Jar with the design somewhere in Constantinople Palace Bailey. Can you go find it?
I don't know exactly where it is, but I'm sure you can find it.
Mission: Key Design x1
Well done!
The soldiers didn't give you any trouble, I take it? Haha.
Reward:
- Experience: 72,300
- Gold: 85,000
5. Excuses[]
We can just follow the directions in the design.
It says we have to make a Mold first.
Ugh, I hate this sort of work.
Why should a general do the work of a blacksmith...
And I'm clumsy, too!
Since you're a traveler, this should be right up your alley, huh?
Make it as directed in the design. I'll give you this Refined Mud, too.
(Molds can be crafted with Quest Crafting.)
Mission: Craft Mold x1
Huh? Done already?
...
I'm sorry, but we can't use this.
Take a closer look.
It looks nice, but it's not functional, right?
It'll be destroyed if you pour hot metal into it.
Reward:
- Experience: 72,300
- Gold: 85,000
- Item: Refined Mud x1
6. Dilemma[]
I can't tell you to make it again. But I can't give up, either...
It's a problem.
I need some time to think.
In the meantime, go kill some Militia Magicians to help out the Turks.
Don't underestimate them, though.
The Farmer Conscripts fall easily enough to even the crudest weapons, but these enemies possess mastery of magic.
Mission: Kill Militia Magician x35
As a general in the Byzantine Empire, I'd feel guilty if slying my own men.
However, we are doomed to failure if I let my feelings get in the way. That's why I am asking for your help.
Of course, you will be rewarded fairly.
Reward:
- Experience: 216,500
- Gold: 255,000
7. Expert Knowledge[]
We could use the help of an expert in this.
A few years ago, a tool artisan was invited to the palace, and he was so skilled that he repaired all of the palace's broken items so that they were better than new.
What was his name... Tesla?
...Expertise is needed.
But I'm all thumbs, so I'll need your help once again.
This is war, so it doesn't matter who you learn from. I want you to find some expert tool artisans for me.
Mission: Open Artisans in Community
Fine, fine! I just need to melt the silver and then...
Why don't you check in with that artisan you found before?
...Wha... What?
You'll show me how, but I have to do it myself...?
Hey! I'm a general!
Do you honestly expet me to do such work?
Reward:
- Experience: 72,000
- Gold: 85,000
8. Got It![]
O-Okay, I'll make a mold myself the way you taught me.
But if I fail, it's all your fault!
I'll make a mold and you bring me some Silver Ingots.
I'll melt them and pour them into the mold.
Mission: Silver Ingot x30
Huh? Brought them already?
Good. I finished mine, too!
Shall we melt them and pour them into the mold?
Reward:
- Experience: 36,000
- Gold: 42,500
9. Trouble[]
There's trouble. Have you heard?
It seems that Byzantine soldiers are looking for me.
Giustiniani didn't find out I betrayed them, did he? I feel uneasy about it.
What am I going to do?
They're getting close.
Damn it! We have no choice!
Let's take the initiative.
If Byzantine soldiers see us make the key, they'll find out I betrayed them.
We have to stop that from happening.
I'll hide the mold.
Meanwhile, can you attract their attention somewhere else? You can kill them if you have to.
Mission: Kill Byzantine Warrior x40
You survived.
I finished the key while you are gone.
Shall we open the Kerkoporta postern now?
Reward:
- Experience: 216,500
- Gold: 255,000
- Item: Conqueror's Equipment Box x1
10.Let's Spread the Word[]
It fits perfectly. The gate opened.
Since the way to the palace interior is open, we should tell Mehmed II, who is poised and ready outside.
Huh! But how do we signal him that the way is clear?
Now that I think about it, stepping out there is as good as killing myself, since I am a well-known enemy general to them.
Haha... oh my.
This dilemma is ruining the fun!
Hmm... How about this?
Letting him know through Forum!
The palace is completely isolated from the outside right now, so there's no possibility of getting caught...
~
Oh! Gaius, you are a genius!
You understand what I'm talking about, right?
Hurry up and tell him through Forum that there's an opening in the palace! Come on!
[Tip] Tell him through Forum in the game.
Mission: Community-> Post on Forum
I've just heard back from Mehmed II!
Reward:
- Experience: 10,000
- Gold: 10,000
11. Letter from the Sultan[]
Look at this. This letter was wrapped around a stone.
I think they launched it over the wall with a catapult.
That's one way to quietly send a message across...
What a smart guy!
Ah, as for the contents of the letter...
Hold on. I haven't read it yet, either.
Let me see...
...
Mehmed II writes that it would be hard to get inside the palace since the Three Bacchiardo Brothers have taken personal charge of the Cataphract troops.
We should help him.
Seeing that he sent me a letter like this,
he probably needs my help.
Haha.
If this works out, my future will be bright.
I know you're eager to attack.
So am I, but I hear that the Bocchiardo Brothers are unbeatable as long as they are with the Cataphract Knights.
If you are not thoroughly prepared...
Let's do this! While I attract the Bocchiardo Brothers' attention, you lure and kill the Cataphract Knights, their right-hand men.
I'm not telling you to kill them all. It would look suspicious.
Just a few... I mean, kill about 35 Cataphract Knights!
HINT: You can find the Cataphract Knights in the Constantinople Palace Bailey.
Mission: Kill [Cataphract Knight] x35
Ah, it's good to see you back in one piece.
I was able to keep the Bocchiardo Brothers busy with some false business, but I couldn't hold them for long.
Reward:
- Experience: 216,800
- Gold: 255,000
12. 3 Bocchiardo Brothers I[]
The first Bocchiardo must be furious since he lost his valuable men while he was looking away for a second.
I feel like I can kill them by myself right now! Hahaha!
Ow, my tongue!
I was laughing so hard that I bit my tongue!
...!
What-what is that? Coming from the palace?
Those white things coming towards us, blowing up a cloud of dust! Oh, are those really...
Ah! Those are Elephants!
How can those things have been in the palace?
I'm a general! How could I not know we had Elephant Soldiers in the palace?
Oh no! I see the Bocchiardo Brothers at the lead of the contingent!
This is... this is trouble.
I should tell Mehmed II about this as soon as possible.
Elephants... those are Elephants.
The Forum won't reach him in time. There must be a way...
But luckily enough, I have you. You can get out of here easily. I want you to bring me 10 Captured Eagles, whether you buy them from the Market or have to capture them yourself.
I'll explain when you get back.
There's no time to lose! Hurry up!
Mission: Captured Eagle x10
Ah, now this looks like a well-trained eagle.
Of course, I'll fly it to the Sultan with a letter attached to its foot.
Hopefully Mehmed II will get it...
Reward:
- Experience: 10,000
- Gold: 10,000
13. 3 Bocchiardo Brothers II[]
Oh...!
Emergency, it's an emergency!
The Bocchiardo Brothers are about to take the Elephant contingent and attack the Janissaries outside Constantinople Palace!
They are right under our nose... What do we do?
...
Fortunately, the Sultan's letter has arrived. I'll read it.
"I hold your distinguished service in high regard.
However, it seems you haven't killed the Bocchiardo Brothers yet.
I, as the Sultan, will secure your future with all my might as long as you take care of them."
Alright. The Sultan says he will secure my future!
Let's finish it since we heard the answer!
If the Cataphract Knights were not the Bocchiardo Brothers' right-hand men, then we should get rid of their true right-hand men, the Elephant contingent, correct?
The Cannoneers who support the Elephant contingent from the middle of their ranks are causing us some difficulty.
Kill the Elephant Cannoneers, who are the Bocchiardo Brothers' true right-hand men, and bring me their cannons.
HINT: You can find the Elephant Cannoneers in the Constantinople Palace Bailey.
Mission: Elephant Cannoneer's Cannon x20
Haha! Very nice!
Even their secret Elephant contingent, as well as the Cataphract Knights, cannot stand up to our combined power!
Reward:
- Experience: 216,500
- Gold: 255,000
14. [Party] 3 Bocchiardo Brothers III[]
Oh! Look at that!
The Bocchiardo Brothers are leading the charge themselves!
This is our opportunity!
All 3 brothers came out to the battlefield knowing they were going to be defeated! Crazy!
Come on!
Kill the First Bocchiardo, who is said to be the strongest.
Oh, Heaven help me so that my future opens up!
[TIP] First Bocchiardo is in a formation with Second Bocchiardo.
If you kill Second Bocchiardo first, you will not be able to complete the quest.
Mission: Kill First Bocchiardo x1
Hahaha, great!
I don't know how you did it, but you defeated the Bocchiardo Brothers, who used to be called 'Byzantine's Big Shots.'
But let's tell the Sultan that I did it. Okay?
I'll give you a nice gift instead. Okay?
Reward:
- Experience: 216,800
- Gold: 255,000
15. That's Right![]
Oh, that's right.
I should prepare a gift for the Sultan.
I've already distinguished myself, but I want to prepare some special prize that nobody else could offer him.
Rumor has it that the Sultan loves gold.
It was his love of gold that started this war, as I hear it.
Ah, do you think this might be a good gift?
It's called a Medici's Gold Box.
I am curious to see what's inside, but I've been holding it aside for just such an occasion.
Argh, I'm dying to know!
What's inside the box?
Aren't you curious, too?
Unfortunately I can't open it because it's for the Sultan.
If you can get a Medici's Gold Box, can you open it up and tell me what is inside?
Tip: You can purchase a Medici's Gold Box from Medici at the Bazaar in Rome.
Mission: Use Medici's Gold Box x1
What? You got that?
Ah, thats too good to give to the Sultan.
Should I give him something else?
Reward:
- Experience: 216,800
- Gold: 255,000
16. Hail to the Sultan![]
Huh? Why didn't I help you while you were fighting the Bocchiardo Brothers?
Don't get me wrong!
I was just waiting for the Sultan's letter!
Mehmed II said he would attack Captain Guistiniani's position soon.
He also said that if he used the postern that we unlocked, he could capture it in one stroke by committing his mobile Janissaries. You should wear a red Bandana and surrender as soon as the Sultan's Janissaries come in through the postern.
You got it?
We should both wear red Bandanas so that the Janissaries will recognize us!
I'll get some red dye.
You take this Thick Fabric, make a Bandana and bring it to me.
(Bandana can be crafted with Quest Crafting.)
Mission: Craft Bandana x1
Haha! We finally did it!
The Sultan's Janissaries are coming through the Kerkoporta postern like a flood!
Let's wear our red Bandanas and join them, as ordered by Sultan Mehmed II.
What? You're not coming? Where are you going?
Hey, think again.
We're going to be the heroes who helped the Turkish soldiers. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
You're still leaving?
...Oh well, it's a pity. I don't know your reasons, but let me give you a present before you go.
This is a treasure I kept dearly until now. I'm not sure how valuable it will be, but I don't need this anymore.
I guess this is it.
I don't know much about that Atlantis or whatever, but I hope we all can return home in glory! Haha!
Reward:
- Experience: 36,000
- Gold: 42,500
- Item: Gaius' Treasure Box x1
