The code he gives you is [43 23 11 14 34 52 / 52 34 42 30 43 23 34 35 / 24 33 / 35 42 34 33 44 15 42 11], which translates to shadow workshop in prontera, so head to Prontera.
- Note for non-iRO players : The given code can be different across servers; read the table on step 2 to solve the code.
Shadow's Workshop
In south east Prontera (269, 110), enter the building and speak to the Manager, show him the deciphered code, and enter the text from the previous step.
When he asks, tell him you'll try and break in and steal the treasure. He will explain another cipher, you are given a keyword (which is a number) and a set of numbers, subtract the keyword from all numbers in the code, then use the prior lookup, then do a 1 to 1 correspondence with the alphabet.
- For example: [7 17 26 10 / 11 14 23 10 / 20 19 / 25 26 23 25 17 10 / 14 24 17 6 19 9 / 25 13 14 23 9 / 11 17 20 20 23] [Error: 5], subtract 5 from every number, then translate, the message you get is blue fire on turtle island third floor.
Proceed to Turtle Island 3. (you may need to do Turtle Island Entrance Quest)

Blue Flame
In the northwest corner (tur_dun03 38,208), speak to the Blue Flame, and enter the deciphered code. When you try and touch the flame, it will mock you.
- Go kill 1 Shadow of Deception (Wind Ghost with high HP) somewhere on the map.
- Note :You can use Tunnel Drive or Stealth when searching all of 3 Shadows. The skill not only help you to avoid monsters, but also help you to lure the Shadows. The shadows are Demon race so they still chase you on Hide/Stealth but you can lure them without other monster attacking you. Be careful that Niflheim has more Demon monsters there. If more than 1 Rogue/Stalker doing this quest or you have friend to help, it's recommended to create a party to make this Shadow hunting easier and share the kill count on screen.
Return to the Blue Flame and try to pick up the marbles again. You will be warped to a small room.
Click on the shell and chose either option. The shell will give you "DECEIVE", a key, and the result of DECEIVE + the key. It will then prompt you for a result from "HONESTY".
