All Boss Prequests Guide

[b]Please excuse the appearance on some parts of the guide. I'm used to Tofu Tags and some aren't available when the post is not a guide. I'll reformat some of the tags to fix them up ASAP[/b]

[b]Also. If I'm missing any bosses or any of the steps change in future patches, please do inform me since I may not catch them immediately. And if there are any boss instructions that you would like for me to add such as Castellan/Toad directions and JQ, feel free to comment or PM me directly and I'll add them[/b]

[header]To be added[/header]
[*]Directions to Castellan/Toad.
[*]Neo City Quest line
[*]More to come

Just a quick whip up of a guide to prequests for major bosses. I'll constantly be adding to this or changing it when new bosses come out or when changes are made to the quest chains. Some of these are just plain out common sense to some of us, but for those that have no experience at all, it'll be a base to work off of.

[header=1](Chaos) Zakum Prequest[/header]
[b]Req[/b]: Level 50
[b]Levels:[/b] Level 50+ for Normal Zakum, Level 100+ for Chaos
[b]Channels:[/b] 4, 5, 6, and 7 for Normal; 11 only for Chaos
[b]What to bring/What you need[/b]: 30 Zombie's Lost Gold Teeth (optional if you don't want to walk back and forth), some potions, time.
[b]S1[/b] Go to the third job advancement NPCs and talk to the third job chief for your respective class (listed below) click on the access to Zakum Quest
[B]Pedro[/B]: Pirates, Mechanics, Thunder Breakers, Cannoneers
[B]Tylus[/B]: Beginners, Warriors, Dawn Warriors, Arans, Demon Slayers, Mihiles
[B]Arec[/B]: Thieves, Night Walkers, Dual Blades, Phantoms
[B]Robeira[/B]: Magicians, Blaze Wizards, Evans, Battle Mages
[B]Rene[/B]: Bowmen, Wind Archers, Wild Hunters, Mercedes

[B]S2[/B] - Make your way to the map [i]El Nath-The Door to Zakum[/i]. For those with Hyper Teleport Rocks, teleport to [i]The Passage[/i] and walk right through Cave of Trials. For those without an HTR, take the taxi to the right of the third job chiefs to [i]Ice Valley II[/i] and continue your way upwards and right.
[B]S3[/B] - Create a party or expedition (does not necessarily have to have anyone else unless you're taking them along with you) and talk to Adobis to enter the first of three stages to the Zakum prequests, commonly known as the Mines Stage.
[B]S4[/B] - You will spawn at the root map, where you'll be sent back to every time you break open the wrong chest or destroy the wrong pile of rocks. The map should be this
[image=http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/1710/namnls2.png]
The rooms are straight forward. The first room you walk into in this map would be (room#)-1. If you continue to the next map, it'll be (room#)-2. Room 7-2 and 10-2 will connect you to room 16, which looks like this
[image= http://enlivened.woohp.org/zakum/zakum16.gif]
There are no specific orders in which to do it, but generally room 16-5 would be the last stage since that's where you'd drop the keys to open the chest. Your job is to collect 7 keys by destroying rocks or chests using basic attacks and drop them in front a huge treasure chest in room 16-5 which will drop a fire ore for you.
This stage is definitely soloable, but is a little annoying and tedious with the map elements like falling rocks and such that you'd expect from a jump quest. If you have another person, it can speed the process up if you guys split up the rooms and meet in room 16-5 at the end to consolidate keys. If you did bring someone with you, talk to the NPC upon getting the Fire Ore, and [b]BEFORE YOU TAKE THE PORTAL[/b], make sure everyone else enters [b]BEFORE YOU[/b]. Once you enter the portal, anyone left behind will [b]NOT[/b] get a Piece of the Fire Ore.

[B]Turning in the documents (optional)[/B]
Dead Mine scrolls are rewarded upon collecting 30 documents from this stage. What do they do? Dead Mine Scrolls (or DM scrolls) teleport you directly to Dead Mine I (after Forest of Dead Trees IV).
All of the documents are in rocks [b]EXCEPT[/b] for room 16-5 which is a chest.
1-1: 1
1-2: 1
2-1: 1
3-1: 1
3-2: 2
4-2: 1
5-1: 1
6-1: 1
7-1: 1
7-2: 2
8-1: 1
9-1: 1
9-2: 2
10-1: 1
10-2: 2
11-1: 1
12-1: 1
13-1: 2
14-1: 1
15-1: 1
16-4: 1
16-5: 1
16-6: 1
Spawn map (root map where you spawn initially): 3
You can do both the keys and the documents at once, or one of the two. It's not mandated that you have to have both done, but the Fire Ore component is [b]REQUIRED[/b] to enter the "Entrance to Zakum" map.
[B]S5[/B] - Talk to Adobis again to enter stage 2 and the infuriating experience that is Zakum Jump Quest
No guide here. There are two parts to the jump quest (2 stages if you will). Just give a few videos on Youtube a watch or two to get the sense of what map elements are present in this jump quest. Then if anything, follow the videos by watching a few segments, then following the video. This stage requires [b]A LOT[/b] of patience if you're an inexperienced jump quest-er or if your computer tends to lag or does lag in graphic intensive maps. Once you have finished both parts of the jump quest talk to Lira who will give you a Breath of Lava
[B]S6[/B] - Talk to Adobis again after finishing the jump quest. He'll ask you to bring 30 Lost Zombie's Gold Tooth. To finish this quest, you'll need an Fire Ore (stage 1 item), Breath of Lava(stage 2 jump quest item) and 30 Zombie's Lost Gold Tooth. Your reward is 5 Eye's of Fire(used to summon Zakum by dropping it onto the altar) and grants you access to the map [i]Entrance to Zakum[/i]
[b]WARNING, WARNING![/b]
Do [b]NOT[/b] attempt to re-enter stage 1 if you have [b]NOT[/b] completed the Zakum prequests before. You can re-enter stage 2 as many times as you want, [b]BUT[/b] if you're doing the prequests for the first time, and you're up to stage 2, and you re-enter stage 1, you will [B]RESET THE STAGE 1[/b] placeholder that says you've completed stage 1 that allows you to enter stage 2. Even if you have the piece of the fire ore, you will not be eligible to enter stage 2 since you entered stage 1 but left before you've completed the quest itself.
[b]Note:[/b] Normal Zakum is now multi-instance, meaning more than 1 expedition can enter at the same time (will appear in different instances of Zakum) whereas Chaos Zakum only has 1 map, meaning you'll have to wait in line or fight for it.

[header=2](Chaos) Horntail Prequest[/header]
[b]Req:[/b] Level 80
[b]Levels:[/b] Level 80+ for Normal Horntail, Level 110+ for Chaos Horntail

Get these from Dark Cornian
[image=http://i28.tinypic.com/1gdar.gif] x 1- Manon's Cry which drops [b]ONLY[/b] from regular Manon, not the Silent Crusade Manon.
[image=http://i27.tinypic.com/27y7uie.gif] - Get 10 Tough Dragon Skins which drops from Wyverns (any color)
[image=http://i25.tinypic.com/fn9v15.gif]x 1 - Cornians dagger is made from Mos (the Leafrean Weapons Technician) by trading in 1 Mithril Plate, 1 Steel Plate, 1 Busted Cornian Dagger (dropped by Cornians, can get this while getting the Marrow and Skull Shoulder Pad)
Once you get the items, you'll transform [b]IMMEDIATELY[/b] so do [b]NOT[/b] hand it in until you're ready to enter. The quest and items will [b]NOT EXPIRE[/b]
[B]Bypassing HTPQ[/B]
To bypass the HTPQ, your Expedition leader or Party Member must have the Badge of a Squad Member quest completed and have the Badge of a Squad Member ETC item (permanent ETC item). You will need a Pianus Certificate (dropped by Pianus), Zakum Certificate (dropped by Zakum3 or Chaos Zakum3), a Papulatus Certificate (dropped by Papulatus) and 10 Mark of the Dragon Squad (dropped by Skelesaurus' from the second to last stage of HTPQ)

[header=3]Horntail PQ[/header]
The objective of this PQ is extremely simple. There are portals on the top right of each map, and monsters in each map. Upon entering the PQ, 5 people will proceed and 1 person will [b]STAY IN THE FIRST MAP OF THE PQ[/B] where you spawn initially. The map name is "Room of Maze".
The loner in the first map's objective is to loot the keys that spawn in the map. The other 5 members' objective is to kill monsters in each map, collect all the keys (5 each map) and drop them together on the portal on the top right in each stage. (Repeat this 4 times until you all come back to the Room of Maze).
What happens to the keys? The single person in "Room of Maze" must find the keys after the rest of his or her party has dropped it into the portal and loot it. Then the person in "Room of Maze" will have to click on the stump NPC to allow the rest of his/her party to continue to the next map until they're all back in "Room of Maze".
Then proceed to the second to last map, which is full of Skelesaurus. Kill them and collect keys. These will also drop the mark of a squad member for the "Badge of a Squad Member" quest to skip the HTPQ.
[b]Note:[/b] You will [b]ONLY[/b] get the Badge of a Squad Member quest upon finish the "Horntail's Last Hour" quest (requires you to kill Horntail once), so meaning you'll have to go in, kill Horntail once, go out, then go back in again to do the PQ to collect the items and go back out to get the badge.
