The Way Of The Sway, Part 2

Level 15 · Adventuring · Ksaravi Gulch

Objectives

Spar with Misa Kusamata

Description

Syroko says, “You took a beating in your first fight, but now you will learn the benefits of not getting hit.” “I will grant you the sway of the Drunken Master, and you will fight with Misa again. You must be quick, however, as I can only impart this skill for a short time.” “I expect the result will be quite different than your last fight. Return to me once you have defeated Misa in combat.” On returning: Syroko says, “Do not worry for Misa, she is very much alive. She has truly mastered the appearance of death, and sometimes even fools me.” Syroko continues, “Hopefully now you see the value of not being hit over the ability to take damage. Often an elusive enemy is more dangerous than a sturdy one.” “You have done well, [your name], and as a reward, I shall take you as my pupil. Henceforth, you are a student of the Drunken Style.” “Your training has only begun, young one.” Completing this grants two stances: Legendary Drunken Fist and Immortal Drunken Sway.

On finishing it

Syroko
Do not worry for Misa, she is very much alive. She has truly mastered the appearance of death, and sometimes even fools me. Hopefully now you see the value of not being hit over the ability to take damage. Often an elusive enemy is more dangerous than a sturdy one. You have done well, [your name], and as a reward, I shall take you as my pupil. Henceforth, you are a student of the Drunken Style. Your training has only begun, young one.

Notes

The client shows a developer's placeholder where this quest's summary should be. In game the summary panel reads: “[Quest Summary is unknown. If you know what the text should have been contact Jakkal in game or in the forums. Please do not bug report.]” That is a note from whoever is rebuilding the emulator, asking players for text nobody kept. What this archive can offer against it: mmodb recorded the objective and a three-step walkthrough, kept below, but no summary either -- so the original summary prose appears not to survive here. The objective and the full dialogue above are still more than the client currently shows, and may be useful to whoever is filling the gap. mmodb's walkthrough: “1) Speak to Syroko Osaito in Ksaravi Gulch. 2) Spar with Misa Kusamata in Ksaravi Gulch. 3) Return to Syroko Osaito.” The journal summary for this quest does not survive. mmodb wrote the summary and the objective into one field as “summary - objective”, and on this quest that field holds only “Spar with Misa Kusamata”, where the two steps before it carry a paragraph as well -- so the text was already missing from what was captured in 2007-08 rather than lost since. Fandom copied mmodb and has no more; Curse and Silky Venom have no page; The Telon Project never covered this quest. This archive held a sentence of its own here until 2026-09-23, which was wrong: a summary is something the game said, and writing one invents a record.
