Noblesse Questline

Achieve Noblesse status in Lineage II to gain powerful skills and access the Grand Olympiad. This guide details the steps for this significant questline.

Attaining Noblesse status in Lineage II is a significant achievement, unlocking powerful skills, unique items, and access to the Grand Olympiad. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the intricate steps required to become a true Noble.

Prerequisites and Preparation

• Level Requirement: You must be at least Level 75 to begin the Noblesse questline.
• Subclass Completion: You must have completed all three of your subclass quests and reached Level 75 on each subclass. This is a non-negotiable requirement.
• Party Composition: While some stages can be soloed, many parts of the Noblesse questline are significantly easier and faster with a well-coordinated party, especially for boss encounters.
• Supplies: Stock up on healing potions, Soulshots/Spiritshots, and any other consumables relevant to your class. Expect to spend a fair amount of Adena on teleportation and potentially some quest items.

Part 1: The Road to the Noblesse Oblige

Step 1: A Meeting with the Grand Master

Your journey begins by speaking with Grand Master Ladd in the Town of Aden. He will give you the initial quest, "Noblesse Oblige," and instruct you to seek out other Grand Masters.

Step 2: The Four Grand Masters

You will need to visit four specific Grand Masters, each located in a different town. They will test your resolve and knowledge.

• Grand Master Sedrick: Located in the Town of Giran.
• Grand Master Tobias: Located in the Town of Oren.
• Grand Master Rains: Located in the Town of Goddard.
• Grand Master Valdis: Located in the Town of Rune.

Each Grand Master will give you a small task or ask a question. Successfully completing their requests will earn you their blessing.

Step 3: The Tablet of Vision

After gaining the blessings of all four Grand Masters, return to Grand Master Ladd in Aden. He will now direct you to the Tablet of Vision located in the Forest of the Dead. Interact with the tablet to receive your next instructions.

Part 2: The Trials of the Noblesse

Step 4: The Messenger of the Gods

The Tablet of Vision will reveal that you need to speak with a Messenger of the Gods. This NPC can be found in the northern part of the Forest of the Dead, near the entrance to the Shrine of Loyalty. They will give you the "Trial of the Noblesse" quest.

Step 5: Collecting the Sacred Flame

The Messenger of the Gods will task you with collecting Sacred Flame from specific monsters. These monsters are typically found in the surrounding areas of the Forest of the Dead or near the Shrine of Loyalty. The exact monster types can vary slightly depending on your class, but generally include:

• Doom Knights
• Doom Archers
• Doom Warriors

You will need to collect a certain number of Sacred Flame items (usually 10-15). These are quest items and will not drop every time, so be prepared for some grinding.

Step 6: The Altar of the Noblesse

Once you have collected all the Sacred Flame, return to the Messenger of the Gods. They will then direct you to the Altar of the Noblesse, located deeper within the Shrine of Loyalty. Interact with the altar.

Step 7: The Noblesse Guardian

Upon interacting with the Altar of the Noblesse, a powerful boss monster, the Noblesse Guardian, will spawn. This is a challenging fight and often requires a well-organized party. The Guardian possesses strong area-of-effect attacks and can debuff players. Focus fire and utilize crowd control if possible.

• Strategy: Designate a tank, ensure healers are vigilant, and DPS focus on bursting down the Guardian. Be prepared for adds if they spawn.

Defeating the Noblesse Guardian will drop the Noblesse Orb, a crucial quest item.

Part 3: The Final Ascent

Step 8: Return to the Messenger

With the Noblesse Orb in hand, return to the Messenger of the Gods in the Forest of the Dead. They will acknowledge your victory and instruct you on the final step.

Step 9: The Noblesse Ceremony

The Messenger will send you to the Grand Master of your race (e.g., Grand Master of Humans in Aden, Grand Master of Elves in Elven Village, etc.). Speak to your Grand Master, and they will perform the Noblesse Ceremony.

Congratulations! Upon completion, you will officially be granted Noblesse status. You will receive the Noblesse Blessing skill, access to the Grand Olympiad, and a unique Noblesse Tiara.

Tips for Success

• Join a Clan: A strong clan can provide invaluable assistance with party formation for the Noblesse Guardian and general support.
• Utilize Buffs: Don't underestimate the power of buffs from other players or even purchased scrolls.
• Know Your Class: Understand your class's strengths and weaknesses to maximize your effectiveness in combat.
• Patience is Key: The Noblesse questline is a marathon, not a sprint. Some parts may require repeated attempts or extensive grinding.
