Alright, so you've got a side quest called "138 Marlene, Good Girl Gone Bad." Sounds dramatic, right? Basically, this fiery sorcerer named Marlene, who used to work at the palace, has gone rogue and become a bandit. One of the guards tried to talk her into coming back and got roughed up for his trouble. Now, another guard is keeping an eye on her, and he's waiting for you southwest of Ding Dong Dell, on a ledge overlooking the Western Woods. That's where we need to head first.
Walkthrough
- 1Head to the southwest corner of Ding Dong Dell's lower area. You'll find a guard on a ledge with a view of the Western Woods. Talk to him, and get ready, because this is going to trigger an army battle!
- 2The skirmish is level 18. If you've been keeping your kingdom and army in good shape, this should be a breeze. You'll start on the ledge with the Western Woods. You'll see a sword unit and a gun unit to your southwest.
- 3Make your way through the gate and head northeast. You'll encounter two siege towers and more enemy units in the open field. Take them all out.
- 4Keep pushing forward, heading north of Ding Dong Dell. After you pass the second gate, more enemy units will pop up – two spears, a sword, and a ranged unit. Clear them out.
- 5Now, climb the slope. Up here, you'll find Marlene, along with two hammer units and two ranged units supporting her. Keep an eye on the cannons on this elevated area, but honestly, you might be able to just go straight for Marlene and skip dealing with them.
- 6Finish off Marlene, and the quest will be complete!
