Advent of the Goddess Storyline Part 23
story
This post is based on “The Advent of the Goddess”, the main storyline behind Mabinogi’s Storyline Quests. If you do not wish to find out about what happens next, feel free to return to the previous page and view other strategy guides.23. Breaking the Seal of the Goddess
So, it turns out that the place you’d thought as Tir Na Nog isn’t Tir Na Nog at all, but rather some unknown other world. It seems to be a mirror image of Erinn, only in a completely devastated state… You met Dougal here and even were able to, with his help, bound your life to this world.
So, are you now ready to break the 5 Seals of the Goddess?
1) Collect Black Orb Fragments
Goddess Morrighan said that she is currently bound by a Seal, powered by 5 magic stones. If this were true, that would mean that there is some sort of a magic seal that exists somewhere in this world… Where would you find a clue for this, I wonder. Oh, by the way, you’ll need to prepare yourself with some recovery items before going out to the battlefield.
In this other world, you are able to purchase and/or transact items with Dougal. But remember that there is only a limited supply of inventory in his shop, so you’ll be better off purchasing whatever you need before coming to the other world.
For your reference, remember that Dougal was the only person that’s survived the Fomors’ attack, which means there are no blacksmiths to repair or upgrade your weapons, nor any Grocery Store from which you can purchase food.
Items Available for Purchase from Dougal
| Potions | HP 10 Potion, HP30 Potion 10 Potion, Stamina 30 Potion |
| First Aid Items | Bandage, Phoenix Feather |
| Quest | Dingo Fomor Scroll Collection |
| Quest | Collect Black Orb Pieces |
The thing that draws your attention is the [Collect Black Orb Fragments] quest. Purchase the quest and read the quest.
Gather Black Orb Fragment
The black orb is the key to go to the place where the strength of evil is sealed. Please gather the black orb broken into 4 fragments. If you put the green, blue, red, silver orbs in order in Albey Dungeon, you can go to the place where the strength of the 4 black orb fragments are sealed. If you gather all 4 of the fragments the black orb will find its original shape.
Reward
1 Black Orb
Price : 0 Gold

Reward
1 Black Orb
Price : 0 Gold
There are 4 gems, i.e. green, blue, red and silver. Add the Black Orb that is formed by these and you have 5. Could it be that these 5 gems are the magic stone that Goddess Morrighan was talking about? Now that you have a clue that will help me break the seal, go to Albey Dungeon to create the Black Orb.
2) 4-Colored Gem Dungeons
The Albey Dungeon is right near the Alby Dungeon of Erinn. Follow the road north past the deserted houses and you will see a sign that points to it. The Albey Dungeon is located on the northeast side.
The gem which you will place at the altar can be obtained by either hunting down monsters and/or hitting on landmarks.
This dungeon, made of gems, accepts an unlimited number of visitors, but since you may end up in separate dungeons even if you are using the same colored gems, be sure to account for all of your party members when you’re at the altar.
Words of Caution:
There is no Goddess Statue at the dungeons, which are formed by the various colored gems. If your character dies, you will either be revived in the Dungeon Lobby or in the village (if you have completed the Bind). You may also be revived by another player. As soon as all your party members die, however, the dungeon will no longer by playable by your party.
Green Gem Dungeon
Small Green Gem
It is a small Green Gem. It had apparently been hidden by an Imp.
Albey Dungeon looks green overall, as you had used the green gem to enter into this dungeon! This dungeon is made up of 2 levels. This is a place where Goblins like to inhabit.
The Heavy Gargoyle and Light Gargoyle each are guarding the Boss monster. You’ll have to watch out for their incredibly high level of attack power and wide visual range.
Go into the room with the Treasure Chest and you will see a pillar that is covered in the Black Orb. Hit the gem 5 times and the seal will be broken, dropping the pieces of the gem all over the floor, after which you will see a message.
"I broke the seal and received the Black Orb Fragment!
All four seals must be broken in order to make a Black Orb that leads
to the final Seal."
All four seals must be broken in order to make a Black Orb that leads
to the final Seal."
Blue Gem Dungeon
Small Blue Gem
A small blue gem. The obscure shape inside is prettier than a green gem.
The Blue Gem Dungeon overall looks pretty blue. This dungeon has a variety of different monsters that appear, such as the Laghodessa types, Gargoyles, etc. and is therefore designed to be pretty complicated. This dungeon is made up of just 1 level.
The dungeon Bosses in the Blue Gem Dungeon are 3 Lycanthropes. 2 of the 3 are a bit stronger than the third one. Remember that you’ll only have a chance at defeating these monsters if you’ve mastered their battle character. Once you clear this dungeon, you’ll receive the 2nd piece of the Black Orb from the room with the Treasure Chest.
Red Gem Dungeon
Small Red Gem
A small red gem. Rare gems, the red ones are considerably more valuable than other gems.
The dungeon formed by the Small Red Gem will look red overall. It’s made of 2 levels, and you will see a number of different types of armored skeletons.
The Boss in the Red Gem Dungeon is the Nightmare Humanoid. Nightmare Humanoids have elementals and must be attacked using the appropriate color.
| Open Night | Black | All attacks possible |
| Night One | Red | All melee attacks are negated |
| Night Two | Blue | All magic attacks are negated |
| Night Three | Yellow | All long range attacks are negated |
| Jean Night | White | All attacks are negated |
Go to the room with the Treasure chest after you’ve demolished the Nightmare Humanoid. You will be able to receive the 3rd Black Orb Piece.
Silver Gem Dungeon
Small Silver Gem
A small, cheap silver gem. Though it's not made of silver, they seem to be worth a fair bit.
The final dungeon is the Silver Gem Dungeon. It is made of 1 level in total. Be really careful, though, as there are a lot of very powerful monsters such as the Light Gargoyle, Werewolves, etc…
The Boss in the Silver Gem Dungeon are the Armored Metal Skeleton and the Golem. Once you take care of these monsters, you’ll be able to obtain the Black Orb piece.
Once you have collected all 4 pieces of gem stones, open the Quest window. Click on the [Complete] button for the [Collect Black Orb Fragments] quest and you will receive, finally (!), the Black Orb, with which you can break the Goddess’ Seal.
3) Black Orb Dungeon
The Black Orb takes up 2x2 spaces in your Inventory, so you’ll have to make sure that there’s enough room in your Inventory to accept it. Have you checked your Inventory to make sure you received the Black Orb?
The Black Orb Dungeon you enter with the Black Orb is made up of two levels. All the monsters you came across at the previous Green, Red, Blue, and Silver Gem dungeons all appear here simultaneously. If you are to become incapacitated in this dungeon, you will have to go and get the Black Orb all over again, so be sure to stay calm and make the right moves.
The Boss of the Black Orb Dungeon is the Ghost Armor, which you’ve already come across in previous instance dungeons. Beware, as much as this is your final dungeon, you must not, even for one minute, let your guards down.
Once you kill all the monsters in this dungeon, you will finally see the Seal that is binding the Goddess break away.
It is what I’ve dreamed of, so many times… Goddess Morrighan, with the fluttering of her black wings, is finally free from the bindings of the Seal.
[Morrighan]
Thank you... Your courage and sheer will have brought me freedom after all these years.
I would like nothing more than to repay you for your hard work, but... now doesn't seem to be the right time to do so...
The Avatar of Destruction, the legendary giant... The resurrection of Glas Ghaibhleann is rapidly approaching...
Glas Ghaibhleann is the monster of utter destruction, and it doesn't have its own will nor conscience... Only its body remains. It is totally under the will of its summoner...and it will burn destroy everything in its sight... It will destroy everything it crosses in Erinn... and Tir Na Nog...
Please find Glas Ghaibhleann's will and conscience that's currently separated from its body. It has been resurrected through the means of a human body. Please give him my Pendant...
And, tell him its body... the Glas Ghaibhleann will soon be resurrected. He will help you...
Though I am unable to directly help you right now... I will pray on behalf of my name to the gods for their blessings.
Thank you...
You have finally succeeded in saving the Goddess. But there was more… You were asked to find the Will that had been dispersed by Glas Ghaibleann… But if you’re talking about the lone person who’s survived… No way!
The next episode is the final one in [The Advent of the Goddess]. Only the battle against Glas Ghaibleann now remains.
[Note 1]
Albey Dungeon in the Other World does not have a Goddess statue in it. As a result, if all the members of a party become incapacitated, you may lose your chance to clear the dungeon altogether. Beware.
[Note 2]
All the different-colored Gem dungeons allow creating parties with up to 8 members. However, the final Black Orb Dungeon only allows a maximum of 3 players to form a party to clear the dungeon. Please keep this in mind before trying to enter the dungeon.
