Guard’s Graveyard has another gimmik, different from guiding souls to Owl statue:
on the second part of the map if you light a campfire in one of 9 square rooms with some sort of pollution/gas - all monsters will get a debuff.
And i have always pondered what if you were to light campfires in all 9 rooms? But to check that 9 players are needed, since each player can have only 1 active campfire.
I once did that during CBT (if I rember correctly). I had no effect, except for me feeling embarassed in front of 8 other players. <: |
it may have been inactive back then…
Also, there are a metric crapton of places in Kateen forests where your character will try to interact with an invisible/unselectable/unnamed object and nothing happens upon interaction, except char turning toward that object, mainly they are graves in various parts of the map(s).
usually if you want to find a hidden NPC you can use blessing because it will target the object, it doesn’t always mean though the objects on a spawn time or ingame like for example in Saknis
i’ve gone into kateen and at different times seen the bonfires lit in different numbers (one time 4 were lit, one time 0, one time all 5 and I’m convinced it wasn’t related to questers)
I’m at the point where I think there’s some hidden timer
Don’t forget there’s also quests in the game that get unlocked when you use specific emotes
https://tos.neet.tv/quests/50077 here’s the tesla quests for fortress btw
i’ve tried interacting with boulder with the slab buff and its not related, the slab is like a small def buff for 15 mins, it goes away if you leave map, definitely curious tho
I received a tag for this post. 
I could attack objects with this buff, but I have forgotten where to get it. It was very strange so I took that screenshot of the effect. It might have been a bug too.
It was a long time ago I encountered the tesla quotes. I don’t think it’s relevant.
Back in the day I also did some mercenary post party-quests (solo with F6 to create party) to get gems. I cannot remember all party quests. One party quest did redirect me to Poslinkis forest for a quest, but it did not affect Kateen forest.
This was the quest:
This might be a clue for you, though I do not believe it is related. Maybe a hidden unlock once you repeat the quest multiple times? I tried it once only.
I did explore all party quests for the guide outdated guide here<< but I cannot remember another quest for Kateen forest owl.
Unless you feel very adventurous, it’s best and easiest to find someone who is able to look into game files to check Kateen forest quests.
There also used to be a lv16 guild mission that involved stopping Sequoia from running amok in Karolis Springs but it got taken out I think recently
Lorewise Tesla created Sequoia to help guard the forests with the owls or something, here’s another thing worth looking at

tons of quests not in game yet on this map, alot of them have to do with the owls
It seems to me like the bofires in Entrance to Kateen Forest always light up when I see them for the second time. Might be just me though. I haven’t spent much time experimenting with them.
I’ve seen the Storage Quarter quest info. The thing is: I’ve met the requirements but I am not able to start the Freedom quest. Tesla never offers it.
I’ve been trying to offer rods to the stone slab as well. It gave me a few options:
I picked the “20” one and received a defensive buff. It was different than the one greyhiem got. I guess there’s multiple options here. Guess we gotta try all of these. Take note that stone slab’s message is pretty enigmatic.
I’ve been trying to get myself another buff but the stone slab has been igoring me since. Possibly I have not enough Fishing Rods with me. I had 64 when I got the buff the first time. I got 50 now and getting no response.
How many Fishing Rods did you guys have when you got your buffs?
I finished all quests at Karolis Springs and Letas Stream. There’s lots of graves in Karolis Springs that give me an interesting behavior.
When I pass through these graves they spawn a visual effect and one of a few possible messages about praying for the souls or wondering if they are at ease. I tried triggering all of these graves that I could find but nothing seemed to happen.
@Edelgard
That’s an interesting spot. Where is it?
i can confirm the graves message in karolis is recently put in
Edelgard’s pic is from Kvailas Forest near the entrance
I tried Owls Burial Ground buff again. It was the same one as before. It gave me exactly 70 defense and magic defense.
This time I was sacrificing Fishing Rods one by one. Then at some point I gave 15 and that’s when I got the buff. It seems the amount you sacrifice is just added up to a counter which eventually gives you a buff. That’s probably also what stone slabs message is about.
There’s one idea I had though: perhaps a large group of players could try approaching the boulder at once. Maybe that does something. I was inspired to this by the stone slab message.
Have any one do/try this quest? Positive of curiosity.
Or any Lv 9999 quests that probably related to kateen (katyn), owl sculpture and Tesla.
I saw this quest listed in my efforts to uncover the headgear mystery myself, and could never figure it out.
I also recall seeing changes to Main Chamber a few months ago, and despite running around and redoing all the quests in there I had previously missed, I couldn’t uncover anything.
The Kateen Flower Decoration is a lie. Just… let it… go…
Nice! Could you post which spot exactly is this?
I occasionaly search around Entrance to Kateen Forest but I had never found him so far. He is the #1 suspect in our case so I’m hoping to narrow down his spawning conditions.
Lately I was able to find “Tesla’s Dedication” in “Demon Prison District 2”. It laid right next to a statue of goddess Vakarine. Guess it might suggest that he is also the person who made them.
to the right of where the owls are near the pond in the middle, haven’t seen him in any other spot even though I know for certain there are 5 spawns
pretty sure the channel was empty
it was ch1
I probably had tons of ellom bells anyways
I think once you find him you can’t find him again, I haven’t seen him again, gotta check again at same time
I’ll post all his spawn locations later to help you out
