# [Blackstar Helmet] Blackstar **Quest No Raw**: 658868 **Quest Group (questGroupNo)**: 3508 **Entry (questId)**: 10 ## Objective As he deciphered Caphras's research journal, Gorgath mentions the story of the Blackstar, and what is needed in order to awaken it. _Listen to Gorgath talk about Caphras's journal;_ ## Rewards Rewards this quest can give. Choice rewards are marked separately. ### Item Rewards - **Quest Reward** — [Eye of Anguish](/item/43782.md) ### Other Rewards - **Quest Reward** — [Gorgath](/npc/43452.md) — Amity +10 - **Quest Reward** — Contribution EXP +33 ## Summary Caphras spoke of a "sacred peace..." and that phrase chills me to the bone. Maybe he meant it word for word, or, it was referring to something else entirely. Also, according to his journal, he speculated the existence of more than one Blackstar. If ever another Blackstar is discovered before we understand what it truly is... The Ashen Plague could be seen as the precursor to whatever might follow. We must uncover the true nature of what lies hidden within that meteorite. I will do some research on the Blackstar and the Ashen Plague. Your mission is to find out what exactly is inside the meteorite. The scattered energy of the star that's required to awaken whatever is inside it must refer to the Black Stone, and the creatures possessed by it. Concentrated Boss's Aura is volatile and difficult to handle, so I'll give you a vessel so that you can contain it. It's the same thing I used when making the cure for the Ashen Plague that swept through this land because of the Blackstar. The records say that if you stand in front of the star with that energy in your hands, the hungry Blackstar will appear to devour the Eye of Desolation. I recommend you practice caution. Even the mighty Caphras warned of its gluttonous and heinous nature. ## Contacts - **Giver** — [Gorgath](/npc/43452.md) — _Alchemist in Abandoned Land_ - **Turn-in** — [Gorgath](/npc/43452.md) — _Alchemist in Abandoned Land_ ## Related Quests Nearby quests from the same group, prerequisite quests, quest chains, and branch choices. ### Branching Choices - [[Blackstar Helmet] To the Altar of the Fallen God](/quest/724404.md) - [[Blackstar Helmet] To Tarif](/quest/1117620.md) - [[Blackstar Helmet] Specter's Energy](/quest/1379764.md) ### Earlier Steps - [[Blackstar Helmet] Prohibited Area](/quest/134580.md) - [[Blackstar Helmet] The Alchemist's Language](/quest/593332.md) ### Quest Group Entries Other entries in the same quest group, shown in in-game order.
