Important Tips
- Keep the Quest Window open when progressing through Episode 21.
- Speak to the current quest NPC again after completing hunting or investigation objectives.
- Do not skip important NPC dialogue when the storyline is changing maps or instances.
- Episode 21 is a long storyline with multiple quest-ID ranges, side objectives, investigations, and instances.
- If progression appears to stop, review the active Episode 21 quest and return to the last storyline NPC.
- Some stages require earlier Episode 21 quests to be completed before the next NPC will progress the story.
Troubleshooting
Diver Fapa will not start Episode 21
Check the following:
- Your character must be Base Level 230 or higher.
- GladiusRO Custom Episode 20 must be completed.
- Make sure the Episode 20 final reward was claimed from the Episode 20 Boss Controller.
I finished Episode 20 but Episode 21 does not start
Return to the Episode 20 Boss Controller and make sure the final Episode 20 reward was claimed. Episode 20 completion must be registered before the Episode 21 route is available.
I do not know where to go next
Check the active Episode 21 quest in the Quest Window. Episode 21 uses many NPCs, maps, and quest stages, so the active quest description should be followed before moving to another part of the storyline.
I cannot continue an instance
Make sure the required preceding Episode 21 quests are complete. Return to the NPC that provided the instance objective and check the dialogue again.
I cannot continue to Episode CH 1
Complete the full Episode 21 storyline, including the final battle and post-battle quest sequence. Finish the Episode 21 chapter-completion stage before beginning Episode CH 1.
