How To Complete Traitor Revealed In The First Berserker: Khazan

As you delve deeper into “The First Berserker: Khazan“, you’ll find that the levels grow both longer and more intricate. They feature branching paths, numerous Elite Enemies to defeat, and an abundance of treasures for you to uncover and claim. Notably, each level concludes with a formidable boss battle designed to test your strength.

The mission titled “The Traitor Revealed” is no different. It stands out as one of the longest missions within the game, offering multiple paths that can lead to various perils. This multiplicity can sometimes make it a bit confusing or intense. However, consider the silver lining – you could be stuck in another toxic marsh instead!

How To Complete Traitor Revealed

At the outset of the operation, head straight, then veer left to locate an elevator. Descend in it to reach the subsequent zone. Upon arrival, you’ll spot a Blade Nexus, serving as your initial checkpoint for the mission. Elamein will be in close proximity, so navigate towards her and have a chat with her.

In simpler terms, Khazan will be pondering the question, “What defines a hero?” This response from him is not common, but go for the option that feels most fitting to you. Keep in mind, this decision doesn’t alter the main storyline significantly, so choose based on your personal preference. After discussing this with Elamein, move forward!

Crossing The Bridge

Following my conversation with Elamein, I’ll guide you to walk right behind her. Then, slightly bend down and glance towards your right to spot some Soldiers and Wild Dogs. Engage them in combat, as this action will trigger another Soldier to rush through a nearby door. Defeat all the enemies and enter the house to discover an item on the ground. Grab it to obtain a Water Enhancer.

After talking with Elamein, keep walking behind her and look right and slightly down to spot some Soldiers and Wild Dogs. Fight them off, which will make another Soldier appear from a nearby door. Beat all the enemies and enter the house to get an item (Water Enhancer) lying on the floor.

After that, walk along the wooden pathway until you spot additional Wild Dogs and a Soldier. Take them out and then make your way towards the bridge. As you start crossing the bridge, find yourself falling through it roughly halfway across. Descend into the area beneath to keep progressing!

Proceed along the wooden pathway until you encounter additional Wild Dogs and a Soldier. Eliminate them and then move towards the bridge. While traversing the bridge, you’ll suddenly fall through it around the middle point. Drop down into the space below to carry on moving forward!

Closer To The City

Keep advancing until you encounter a group of Wild Dogs and Soldiers on your left side. Overpower the dogs first, then dash up the ramp on your right, following it as it leads behind a house. There, you’ll find another Wild Dog and Soldier. Eliminate them both and continue moving forward until you reach a rooftop that’s ablaze.

To your left, you’ll find a Fire Cleanse Potion and a Fire Disruption Parchment. Pick them up, then focus on what lies directly in front of you. Use your Javelin to deal with the soldiers there. Make sure to eliminate any remaining ones that follow. Afterwards, advance along the pathway and pass through the gate!

Fighting Through

Walk beneath the gate and continue along the pathway until you come across a wagon. Push it over, which will create an opening to the square. As you proceed, you’ll notice a Knivesveil Slayer patrolling the streets. Hurl a spear at them to draw their attention, and then eliminate them behind the wall to keep the Archers from noticing you.

After vanquishing the Knifeveil Slayer, glance towards a rooftop in the distance. Use your Javelin to take out any Archers perched there. Continue walking up the square until you reach a room on the left side, and go inside. As soon as you enter, beware of an approaching Soldier trying to ambush you. Overpower the Soldier and harvest both Lacrima and Soul Tear Dust from its corpse!

Exploring The Square

From that spot, proceed along the square, make a left turn at the first intersection, and go past the house where you were previously attacked. You’ll find an Earth’s Spirit Fuel lying on the ground at the end of the path. Once you’ve picked it up, make a beeline towards where the Archers were stationed earlier to discover a Chest set against the wall on your right side.

Upon opening the chest, discover that it’s been set up with explosives. Swiftly distance yourself from it to dodge the blast, then scavenge the items left behind to secure the Guardian Knight’s Ring and 25 treated gems!

Further Exploration

Stick to the primary route until you come across a turn with steps nearby. Ascend the steps and utilize your Javelin to knock out one of the soldiers at the summit. Another soldier will approach you aggressively; quickly dispose of them, then proceed upward to the top of the stairs.

At the peak, you’ll find a door closed, but don’t worry, it can be opened. Once you step inside the house, look for a chest tucked away in the back left corner. Open it up to get your hands on the Imperial Soldier’s Dual Wield, Wanderer’s Shoes, Necklace of Grace, and some Small Spirit Ore!

Reaching The City

Descend the slope steadily until some Wild Dogs approach and confront you, overpower them. Once you’ve reached the foot of the slope, veer sharply to the left and proceed down a narrow passageway. You’ll find an x7 Spirit Orb lying on the ground there. Carry on moving forward, and you will eventually come across a Blade Nexus. Engage the checkpoint there, then use your Lacrima.

1. Descend the slope steadily (instead of head down the ramp)
2. Overpower them (instead of take them down)
3. Veer sharply to the left (instead of take a hard left)
4. Proceed down a narrow passageway (instead of head down the narrow alleyway)
5. You’ll find an x7 Spirit Orb lying on the ground there (instead of Grab the x7 Spirit Orb off the ground)
6. Engage the checkpoint (instead of Activate the checkpoint)
7. Then use your Lacrima (instead of Spend your Lacrima)

To your left, you’ll discover a pathway that takes you to yet another alleyway. Follow it, and you’ll encounter several Soldiers and a Knivesveil Slayer. Defeat them, and search the area to gather a Fire Cleanse Potion as your reward!

Navigating The Burning City

From the Blade Nexus, proceed by going straight ahead along the street, but beware as you’ll soon find yourself suddenly set upon by a group consisting of Wild Dogs and Soldiers. Overcome them, then slightly advance to face another Soldier charging through a door and attacking. Defeat him too, then step inside the building he came from!

How To Obtain The Ghost Relic

Upon entering the structure, ascend the ladder to reach the upper level. You’ll find two soldiers here; one is stationed near the entrance, and another one is by the second ladder, who happens to be an archer. Eliminate both of them, then make your way out onto the deck through the now open doorway where the initial guard was seated.

Stepping onto the deck, a soldier suddenly charges towards you. Dispatch him quickly and keep moving around the front of the deck. Look skyward to spot a pulley with an orange object hanging from it. Grab your Javelin to knock it down, then collect the item that falls – this will be the Ghost Relic. With this artifact in hand, you’ll be able to unlock Adelhaide the Philanthropic during your next visit to a Blade Nexus.

Make your way back inside the building and ascend the second ladder, which leads to the rooftop. You’ll find a chest there. Open it up to get hold of the Mysterious Glyph Dual Wield, Butcher’s Helm, Butcher’s Gauntlet, and three Fire Cleanse Potions!

Deeper In The Burning City

Leave the building and move towards the right direction to locate another escape route, which is a ladder. Climb up the ladder when you reach it, and proceed by running across the rooftops until you spot a bridge overlooking a group of Wild Dogs and Soldiers. Use your Javelin to eliminate some of them, then jump down and deal with the rest.

Progress along the path until you encounter several Soldiers camped by a bonfire. Dispatch them, then turn your gaze to the right to find a deceased individual. Gather some free Lacrima and Soul Tear Dust from the corpse. For now, refrain from climbing the ladder as a formidable opponent awaits!

Defeat The Elite Knivesveil Slayer

Follow the path leading away from the soldiers around the bonfire, then turn left. You’ll spot an Elite Knivesveil Slayer near the archers. Aim your Javelin for a headshot on the Elite Knivesveil Slayer to draw them closer. Afterward, return to where you previously fought the soldiers, as the area should be clear now and the archers won’t pursue you.

This encounter is rather tough, so brace yourself. Given that they attack frequently, it’s crucial to execute Reflections to conserve your own energy, and you’ll mainly depend on Counterattacking their Burst Attacks. One slip-up could be fatal, so remember to stay focused and cautious with your moves.

Overcoming the formidable Knight Veilslayer will grant you the Deep Shadow Pauldrons, Deep Shadow Leggings, Devourer of Darkness Trousers, and a Concentrated Essence of Water as your reward!

Exploring The Central Area

After defeating the Elite Knivesveil Slayer, look up the street to your right to discover an item hidden behind a statue. Grab it to acquire a Lightning Enhancer. Then, proceed to the left and make your way into the run-down building to encounter both a Soldier and a Chest.

Promptly attend to the soldier and uncover the chest to obtain the Imperial Soldier’s Grand Sword, Hound Helmet, Bishop’s Ring of Arches, and Fuel from the Water Spirit!

Exploring The Lower Area

Go back to the chamber where you previously assumed the body, find the ladder within that room and ascend it. After that, move to your right and lower yourself down into the area below. In this location, you’ll encounter some Wild Dogs and Soldiers; neutralize them as normal and continue your journey. You will discover a purple item here. Grab it to acquire Transmutation Mist.

To the rear of the structure lies a substantial house. Atop this residence, you’ll find something enigmatic – an Ore. Use your Javelin to break it, making it the initial objective accomplished in this mission thus far. Rest assured, there are plenty more challenges ahead!

Back On The Main Path

Make your way up the ladder that’s right in front of you, and you’ll find stairs directly across. A group of soldiers will be relaxing near a bonfire there. Use your javelin to eliminate the archer first, then take care of the rest. Continue along the walkway until you come to a ladder; go down it to reach the area below. There, you’ll encounter more soldiers and wild dogs. Quickly dispose of them all and pick up the blue item on the ground for two Willpower Orbs!

Lowering The Drawbridge

As a gamer, I’ll hug the left side of this zone initially, keeping on the main path until an alleyway catches my eye on the left. I’ll dip into it to find myself in a dog-infested lot. I’ll take out the Wild Dogs one by one before turning around to face the unexpected – a Soldier bursting through the door of the house behind me. Once all enemies are dealt with, I’ll step inside that very house for more action!

Once you’ve entered the house, ascend the ladder to get to the platform above. Circle around this platform to discover another enigmatic ore. Use your weapon to break it. Then, proceed through the open doorway onto the deck and continue along until you encounter a liftable drawbridge.

To make the drawbridge descend, strike its chain with your weapon. This will reveal a soldier stationed beyond it. Sprint across the bridge and neutralize the soldier, then ascend to the top of the scaffolding!

More Exploration

Peer down from the scaffolding to spot a cluster of wild dogs and some soldiers below. Descend the ladder and take care of them, then proceed towards the region on your left as there will be more soldiers and wild dogs there. Once you’ve handled them, search the area for loot to find two small spirit ores.

On the opposite side of the object, you’ll find a slope ascending to a raised area. Ascend the slope to discover a deceased individual at the summit. Harvest both Lacrima and Soul Tear Dust from this location. Once you’ve gathered all the items, climb back up the tall ladder and return to the scaffolding!

Into The Citadel

After making your way back onto the scaffolding, venture into the colossal opening that serves as the entrance to the Citadel, and then descend into the area beneath. In this location, locate a purple item which is the Water Spirit’s Fuel, then ascend the stairs to reach the Blade Nexus. Trade in your Lacrima stashes, prepare for an exciting adventure, and use this position as your new reference point to delve deeper into the Fallen Citadel!

The Fallen Citadel

Venturing from the Blade Nexus, I’ll steer left and traverse the corridor ahead until I spot a snug passageway on my right. Be aware, this area is swarming with Archers, so it’s time to take them down with my trusty Javelin. After dispatching them, I’ll proceed through the hall and ascend the stairs that follow, leading me into the next chamber.

Step into a lengthy, dimly lit corridor, where you’ll encounter both a Flame-wielding Archer and a Soldier. Initially, target the Flame Archer, then handle the Soldier next. Once past them, keep moving straight down the hallway. Take a sharp turn to your right, and you’ll come across a Wild Dog. Overcome the Wild Dog, as a challenging adversary awaits!

Defeat Elite Knivesveil Shredder

Just around the next bend, you’ll encounter two slumbering Wild Dogs and an Elite Knivesveil Shredder. Use your Javelin to take out one of the dogs first, then concentrate on the other. Once both dogs are down, shift your focus entirely onto the Elite Knivesveil Shredder. Much like the previous elite enemy in this mission, your Stamina will be crucial.

Counteract their Surprise Strikes by retaliating with a Retaliatory Blow, seize the opportunity to use your Skills when they expose a weakness. Mirroring their Attacks is equally important for victory. Overcoming the Challenging Knivesveil Shredder rewards you with the Bard’s Headband, Soul Eater’s Top, Bard’s Shoes, Fire Purification Potion, and Essence Within.

To your left, where a formidable foe once stood, there’s a chest. Open it to get the Palemion Citadel Key. Further along, you’ll find a locked gate at the end of the corridor. Use the key here to pass through and reach another chest. Open this one to acquire the Contorted Spear, Hound Gaiters, Necklace of Commitment, and Concentrated Water Essence. Now, leave the chest behind, make a right turn, and descend to begin your adventure at the start of the Citadel!

Unlocking The Citadel

With the Palemion Citedel Key, depart from Blade Nexus by turning left initially. Then, make your first right turn to proceed along a corridor that ends with a gate. Use the key to unlock this gate and step inside the room. Keep in mind that several soldiers are present within this room, so be ready for combat. Once you’ve defeated them, search the floor for three Vitality Spheres as your reward.

Make a quick dash to the room on your right side, where you’ll encounter a Flame Archer and a Soldier. Take them out, and then follow the descending staircase into another part of the area. Across from you, there’s a room waiting. Go straight into that room to come across more Soldiers. Defeat them and gather the remains for additional Lacrima and Soul Tear Dust!

In this version, I tried to keep the original meaning intact while making it easier to read and understand.

Down Into The Prison

Descend into the prison part of the Citadel, then turn left after taking that turn. Walk along the hallway until you reach a room on your left. Enter this open space to discover an item at the far end of the room. However, beware as a Soldier will try to surprise attack you. Defeat them and search their body for 3 Assassin’s Elixir.

Head back down the corridor and continue walking until you reach its endpoint. Then, make a right turn, followed by another right turn, which will lead you to another long hallway. At the end of this hallway, you’ll find a Soldier and a Wild Dog; use your Javelin to neutralize both of them. To your left, you’ll notice a room that has been blocked off by debris.

To gain entry, strike the sizable rocks near the entrance with your tool. Within lies a Mysterious Mineral. Shatter it using your weapon, marking it as the third one you’ve discovered thus far!

Descending Further In The Citadel

Leave the enigmatic mineral-filled chamber, turn left, and traverse the corridor to its end where the soldier was previously stationed. You’ll notice an open space on your right. Step inside this room, then glance immediately to your right upon entry, and you’ll spot a soldier and a wild canine. Eliminate both of them, and within the chamber, locate the gate that you can now open for a convenient shortcut.

From your current location, search for a door at the far end of the room. Use the Palemion Citadel Key to open it and proceed deeper within. Continue until you find a slope that ends in a ladder, which takes you to the cellar of the Citadel!

Exploring The Citadel’s Cellar

Descend the ladder into the cellar, and as you wade through the water, an Invisible Undead Assassin will approach you. It will only become visible when it’s near, giving you the chance to initiate combat. Since you’ve encountered these types before, it shouldn’t prove overly difficult for you.

You’ll encounter a path to your left and one straight ahead. Take the path on your left to discover a Fire Resistance Elixir 2 lying on the ground there. After that, continue along the main pathway. Later, this path will branch out into two directions – left and right.

Right Pathway

To reach a chamber filled with the undead, take the route on your right side. Once you’ve vanquished these creatures, remember to strike their fallen forms to keep their souls from rejoining them, thus reviving them once more. When all the undead have been eliminated, don’t forget to gather the treasure hidden within the room – it contains an Earth Summon Scroll and an Earth Enhancer!

Opening The Shortcut

From now on, stick to the trail on your left until you come across a lever. Give that lever a good pull to open the gate that stands next to it. Pass through the gate and glance to your left where you’ll spot a cluster of Undead lurking with the intention of attacking you. Eliminate them. Continue by moving towards the right and keeping on the pathway until you hit a dead end.

Glance below to spot areas where you can descend, then tread carefully towards the floor level. You’ll encounter a locked door here. Use your Palemion Citadel Key to unlock it and venture inside to discover an elevator that will transport you back to the Blade Nexus, located at the start of the Citadel. This provides a convenient shortcut!

The Final Stretch

Follow the shortcut elevator back downstairs and proceed into the spacious room diagonally opposite. You’ll find Andell there. Have a chat with him for some intriguing tidbits of information. Then, move towards the dead-end area in front of him. Lean over to spot a platform below you, jump down onto it, starting your journey deeper into the Citadel’s underbelly!

Dropping Further Down

After reaching the bottom via the platform, a ladder extends further down for you to descend. As you do, prepare yourself for an upcoming battle with two Soldiers. Once at the edge of the platform, gaze over it. You’ll see a smaller platform below which you need to jump or slide onto in order to proceed.

As soldiers stand guard immediately below you, execute a swift, downward strike to instantly take out one of them. Follow up by dealing with the remaining soldier. After that, casually advance a bit and look ahead to spot more soldiers in the distance. Since archers may attempt to shoot you if they catch sight of you, use your javelin to neutralize them from afar.

Afterward, move to another location by descending, then circle around it until you spot a rope or staircase-like structure. A figure, resembling a Soldier, will be stationed near this structure. Descend the structure, neutralize them, and proceed further!

Navigating The Underground

To locate a ramp ascending to an upper platform with another ladder, proceed straight from the ladder. There are several soldiers stationed here, along with an object on the ground. Eliminate these soldiers and acquire the item, which is the “Ring of Sealed Earth”. Equip this ring as it will be beneficial during the forthcoming battle.

Move forward from the first ladder to find a ramp leading upwards. Soldiers are present here with an item on the ground. Defeat the soldiers, pick up the item (the Ring of Sealed Earth), wear it, and prepare to use it in the approaching fight because it will be useful.

To reach another soldier, first ascend the ladder and continue moving towards your right. After defeating them, proceed upwards towards more stairs. Be alert as the Knivesveil Slayer is nearby, so stay vigilant in your fight. Just like before, take them down, then descend the stairs and turn right to discover a Willpower Orb on the ground!

Reaching The Escape Route

Start moving forward from the spot where the Willpower Orb was previously located, and glance slightly to your left as you approach the elevator. You’ll notice a Mysterious Ore sitting on the edge of a platform there. Use your Javelin to shatter it. Once you’ve done this, you should receive a notification indicating that you’ve found all of them, completing the mission.

Jump onto the elevator and ride it to the highest point within the cave system. Once there, traverse the staircases and passages until you arrive at the Blade Nexus. Make sure to expend all your Lacrima and ready yourself for combat, as this location will likely serve as a frequent checkpoint during your upcoming battle with the boss!

Defeat Rangkus

Lastly, you’re all set to face off against Rangkus, the main adversary for this mission. This battle isn’t a walk in the park and is one of the more challenging ones within the game, particularly due to his second phase. But if you’ve progressed this far, you’re well-equipped to handle it.

If you find Rangkus challenging, we’ve got a detailed strategy for him that includes understanding how to dodge his moves and retaliate effectively. This will help boost your damage output while keeping you solid on defense. With this knowledge, you can make the most out of your abilities in this battle! Although it won’t be a walk in the park, with practice, overcoming Rangkus becomes more than achievable.
