There is nothing like a good offense when fighting your enemies, except an even better defense. BattleMaster Gerix will see how you do against a more powerful and dangerous foe in order to learn a powerful defensive ability known as the spiked scales.

Quest text[edit]

Gerix tells you, Let us continue your training, <player>. An unbroken chain of teachers for thousands of years has preached this mantra, "the best defense is a good offense." Sometimes, however, a good defense is also one that contains a measure of offense. That is how it is with the spiked scales!

  • What do you mean?

Gerix tells you, What I mean is that you can overcome your foes through sheer force, destroying them when they attack you. It is a most powerful defensive ability, one which will serve you well for many many years.

  • What do you want me to do, BattleMaster?

Gerix tells you, I am not one to trifle with any but the most worthy... and you have not yet proven yourself worthy. You must fight tough enemies if you are to learn to be tough. Therefore I want you to head back up to the Kion Volcano and fight the Turquoise Golems you find there. They are tough and they hit very hard so you will need all of the defense and offense you can muster.

  • I am ready!

Gerix tells you, Good. While you are there, I am also in need of something from those very same golems - their cores. Gather me eight elemental cores from the turquoise golems and return here to me.


Steps[edit]

  • Speak with BattleMaster Gerix
  • Collect eight (8) Turquoise Golem Cores from the Turquoise Golems found on the slopes of the Kion Volcano. To reach them, travel south out of Kion past the lava flows until you reach the stone circle. Turn west into the forest until you find a path that leads north up the slope of the mountain. Above the mine shaft is where you will find the turquoise golems.
  • Speak with BattleMaster Gerix in Kion with the Turquoise Golem Cores
