Reward: ability to become Ninja

Solution:

Refer to:

http://www58.tok2.com/home/lonelyff/korroloka.htm

On that one page, there are five maps. I will call them

maps 1 through 5, where map 1 is the topmost map.

You will enter the tunnel at N-6 of map 1. From N-6, head to

the letter "A" at A-9/A-10 on map 1, which connects to N-7/N-8

of map 2. Continue west (passing a couple of giants and what

appears to be a mini-bridge located just above your head level)

to about E-9/F-9. You will pass a set of steps; just behond the

steps is a "secret" passage going south -- secret because it's

shown on the in-game map. Take this secret passage and it

eventually leads east. Go to the east border of the G-9 square

(this is still in map 2, of course). You will eventually see a

pass leading north. (This will take you onto the bridge you saw

on your way to E-9/F-9) Head north until you are forced to go

east (do not drop down). Make your way toward the "D" on map 2

(again, don't fall off!). Point "D" on map 2 connects to point

"D" on map 5. On map 5, continue to H-10 (a bridge; don't fall

off), then to H-8 where you will turn to go east. Make your

way to J-7, and then you will be forced to travel south. While

heading south, hug the wall to your left and eventually you'll

end up at K-8/L-8 where you will find the ???.

When you examine the ???, THREE leeches will spawn and you must

kill them all. Then re-examine the ???. (Note that if you are

in a party, only one person needs to examine the ??? to spawn

the leeches. After you all kill the leeches, everyone in the

party can then examine the ??? and finish that part of the

quest. I.e., you all don't each have to examine the ??? and

each spawn the leeches.)

Return to Bastok and talk to Ensetsu, and he will send you to

Norg. Get to Norg by going through Yuhtunga Jungle, then

the Sea Grotto (s.w. corner of Yuhtunga Jungle) -- just hug

the wall to your right inside the grotto and enter through a

door. Once past the door, you can just run past any aggro to

Norg. Once you enter Norg, find Ryoma by the water and talk

to him. Then return to see Ensetsu in Bastok.
