This is all you need to know to successfully complete stage 1 of Zakum PQ.

First, you must goto the Door of Zakum, and the leader clicks on the NPC called Adobis. All PQ members must speak to their 3rd job instructor beforehand (must be level 50).



Secondly, your Job is to find 30 papers and 7 keys throughout a maze of mines keys are located in these areas 4-2, 9-2, 11-1, 14-1, 16-2, 16-3, 16-5.



That is the main mine as you come into the PQ



This picture shows what you are looking for -- keys and papers. Keys are found in both dirt mounds AND chests, papers are found in dirt only (1 exception in map 16-5 there is a document in a chest). So a tip, if there are no keys allocated to your room, only hit dirt mounds.

You must be thinking, where is room 16? Simple, you must go thru 10-1/10-2 and it will lead you there.



Once you have all 7 keys, your leader must go to the big chest located in Room 16-5 and drop all 7 keys onto the chest.



Then you will receive a Fire ore.



After receiving the Fire ore and collecting the 30 Documents.



Speak to Aura, and she will finish the PQ, if you have collected the 30 papers and received the ore you will recieve 20000 exp and 5 Dead Mine scrolls.



Last minute tips and notes, chests also Teleport you back, summon monsters, give power elixers, money and not just keys.

In the following locations there are 2 papers in the Maps: 13-1, 3-2, 7-2, 8-1, 10-2, 9-2.
In the following locations there are NO papers in the Maps 8-2, 4-1, 16-2.

Most good PQ teams consist of 3-5 people and can complete the pq within about 12-18 minutes. I hope this pq helps you and your team.
