[Guide] Amoria Party Quest

Location:
In Amoria, you can get here by talking to Thomas Swift in Henesys. Once there, just continue walking to the far right of every map until you reach a map without a portal but instead "Amos the Strong" on the far right.
This is the map where parties are formed for the PQs, and where you get a ticket to be able to start the PQ.



Requirements:
- You must be married.
- You must have an Entrance Ticket in possession, more info below (Can be obtained only once every 6 hours)
- Level requirement is level 40 and above.
- The party must have at least 1 Male and 1 Female character

However to really complete the PQ, you will preferably want:

- 2 to 3 participants at level 100+ (preferably in 4th job, level 120+), refered to as attackers. Night Lords/Corsairs/Marksman/Bowmaster are good attackers as range attacks are useful to have for the boss.
- Haste helps in the bonus.
- And of course, a good leader, but that's what this guide is for huh? :D



Additional Information:

Time limit is 1 hour 15 minutes, but with a good leader, it can be completed in under 10 minutes.

This PQ consists of 6 stages and a bonus.

Something to note, if anyone disconnects or dies inside the PQ (assuming you don't have a bishop with ressurection) before the boss stage, the party cannot continue further as you have to have 6 people to continue to the next stage.
Therefore, if you are lagging or prone to disconnections, either avoid APQ or attempt to sort out the disconnection problem.

Another thing to note, if you steal an apple in the bonus (picking up an apple which wasn't dropped from your box) then do not expect to get any more APQ party invites as you are likely to be smegaed and given a bad reputation.



Preliminaries

To get the Entrance Ticket, you need to hunt Indigo Eyes or Crystal Boars, to obtain 10 Lip Lock keys. You get the ticket by talking to Amos the Strong when you have 10 Lip Lock Keys in possession.

Note: Amos will not give you a ticket if it has not been 6 hours since you got your last ticket.
Note: While the ticket is tradeable, they cannot be used to go inside the PQ if traded from someone else.

The party will be formed at Amos' Training Ground, just outside of another map which will take you to the PQ, Entrance to the Amorian Challange. This is done because going into the second map will use up the Entrance Ticket, and if you exit the map after finding there is no party inside you will have wasted your ticket, unless you get lucky. =P
So, the party is formed outside and the leader enters last, in case someone can't get their ticket or go in.




Stage 1:

Monsters:
- Crystal Boars, about 3,000 HP and no exp
- Magik Fairy, about 3,000 HP and no exp
- Massive (Pixelated) Magik Fairy, about 10,000 HP and little exp (around 800)
(HP amounts are estimates)

Leader

When you enter the PQ, talk to Amos who will be just to the left, this will open the 3 Green portals (only one works at a time). Go down to the middle area where there will be another portal, The Glitter Man and 2 rocks nearby.

- Male characters should go to the rock on the right side.
- Female characters should go to the rock on the left side.

Once through the rock 'portal', proceed to kill all the monsters here on your side.
When both sides are cleared, talk to The Glitter Man to summon the Massive Magik Fairy. Kill the fairy then collect the hammer and head back through the rock portal from earlier then go through the portal in the middle of the middle area (next to The Glitter Man). You should be next to a mirror, if you have the hammer drop it on the mirror and collect the glass shard, with that in hand talk to The Glitter Man again to clear the stage.

Head back up to Amos and talk to him to continue into Stage 2.

Party Member

When in the PQ, wait for the leader to talk to Amos then enter through the green portal (only one works at a time) In the middle area where there will be another portal, The Glitter Man and 2 rocks nearby.

- Male characters should go to the rock on the right side.
- Female characters should go to the rock on the left side.

Once through the rock 'portal', proceed to kill all the monsters here on your side.
When all monsters are killed, wait for the leader to summon the Massive Magik Fairy.
Kill the fairy if you can find it, then collect the hammer and head back through the rock portal from earlier then go through the portal in the middle of the middle area (next to The Glitter Man). You should be next to a mirror, if you have the hammer drop it on the mirror and collect the glass shard, with that done, jump up while standing on the mirror to be teleported to the top.

Talk to Amos to continue into Stage 2.



Stage 2:

This stage is similar to the Orbis PQ Sealed Room, it uses the exact same style but with ropes and some teleports instead of platforms.
If the stage isn't cleared before 7 tries, monsters are spawned at the bottom, although they aren't particularly dangerous to most people, they may cause trouble for level 40s however.

Leader

The leader will stay at the bottom here, and talk to Amos to "check" whether the answer is correct.
This is done by him saying whether the number you have on each rope is right or wrong. Said in the manner Same or Different

Essentially, what Same means is that at least one rope has the correct number of people on it.
When it says Different, it means that all ropes have the wrong number of people on it.
With this in mind, we start with all 5 members on the far left rope, indicated as 500
If you don't understand why you would say 500, here's the breakdown.

5 - 5 People on the left rope
0 - 0 People on the middle rope
0 - 0 People on the right rope

Another example, to make this clear, 311

3 - 3 People on the left rope
1 - 1 Person on the middle rope
1 - 1 Person on the right rope

So here's a chart on how to do this stage.


500 -> 410 -> 320 -> 140 -> 050
|..........|.........|
|..........|.........V
|..........|........401
|..........V
|.........302 -> 203 -> 104 -> 005
V
041 -> 032 -> 023 -> 014
|..........|.........|
|..........|.........V
|..........|........131
|..........V
|.........221 -> 311
V
113 -> 122 -> 212

Blue arrows represent Same.
Red arrows represent Different.
Follow the chart or draw your own one out so you can use it while in the PQ.
(Apologies, if it isn't very clear)

Following the chart, call out the number in party chat and allow the members to move into the correct places before clicking.
Eventually Amos will clear the stage, walk into the green portal on the right to continue into Stage 3.

Party Member

Firstly, when you enter this room go through the portal just to the right of you (furthest left of the three), then jump up into the plant to be teleported upwards and hold the up button to grab the rope.
When all 5 people are on the rope (Leader stays at the bottom to talk to Amos in this stage), the leader should click and then say a number.
For reference, here are some examples of numbers the leader may say.
500, 311, 212, 140

And now for a breakdown of what these numbers mean:

(First example is how the stage should start)
5 - 5 People on the left rope
0 - 0 People on the middle rope
0 - 0 People on the right rope

3 - 3 People on the left rope
1 - 1 Person on the middle rope
1 - 1 Person on the right rope

2 - 2 People on the left rope
1 - 1 Person on the middle rope
2 - 2 People on the right rope

1 - 1 Person on the left rope
4 - 4 People on the middle rope
0 - 0 People on the Right rope

Once the number has been called out by the leader, you should move in order to accomodate the new number
Here on, simply listen to the Leader's instructions until the stage is clear.

Walk into the green portal into Stage 3.
