Walkthrough
Once you have the quest, speak to the Guard of the Isles near the eastern gate (he will refuse to talk to you if don't have this quest). You will be taken to the other side of the gate, then just follow the winding Forbidden Path and enjoy the scenery along the way. If finding the gap in the cliff proves difficult, refer to the instructions given by Rioka.

Upon arrival in the Elite refuge, talk to Yurukaro and the quest will be completed.

Initial dialogue

 * Challenge Master, Rioka
 * "Your legend grows, . I think you are ready for the Zaishen Elite. Though, the leader of the Order may disagree .... Come closer, I do not wish anyone else to hear these directions.


 * To the east, you shall find a door that is always locked. Look through the hole in the door and you will see a light-colored rock in the far cliff wall. Tell the guard at the gate that you are 'on the path'.


 * Once you get to that rock, you will find a narrow path along the cliffs. Follow the path until you come to a tree that is hanging off of the cliff.


 * From the tree, turn right. You'll find a crevasse in the cliff. Go through it until you reach a shaft in the mountain.


 * Climb down the edge of the shaft to the pool you find there, and wade out toward the waterfall.


 * You will see an archway set in the waterfall and beyond that is the Zaishen Elite refuge.


 * Here, I shall mark the spot on your map."

Reward dialogue

 * General Yurukaro
 * "Rioka again!? Very well.


 * It is good to know your own strengths, but braggarts will only look the fool in the end. I suggest you maintain respect for those around you. Now, as long as you are here, my fighters need the practice. Draw your weapon, prepare your skills, and be ready to fight. Or find a corner and stay out of my way...."
