Recruit Joshua: The Gold Flame of Illier

The Gold Flame of Illier quests were added in v28.10.94. This guide is based on USA game client (v28.50.39). See Patch Notes for further changes (if any).

Synopsis :

Joshua sends you to clean up all the monsters in the basement and the command room. Major Cheryl seems to be obsessed with Joshua, sending you to deliver a classified document. Joshua says that the Witchcraft Troops was performing bio-mechanical experiments, while monsters are invaded Imperium Arma. Unlike Montoro, they don't experiment on humans.

Her family aide revealed that Joshua was born when her brother who was 20 years older left home, so she was disguised as a boy as a replacement. When she was 15, her father died and her brother returned as the new count. Orden brainwashed the soldiers using insignias, so Joshua asks for a mountain hoard of them. You bring them to Violet for destruction. Joshua's magical power is exhausted after dealing with Dorr, so you feed her weird stuffs to recover her mana.

Meanwhile, Dolores broke their rabbit dolls, and Joshua refuses to fix them. Fearing Dolores will escalate the issue, you bring her a pungent tea made from corpse flower. She said that her brother returned to the mansion with two babies and his wife, whom Joshua accused of stealing her brother from her. She dislikes Dolores making a mess of her room, but finally decides to fix Hare and Rev. When she learns that the twins are in the New Continent, she blames Dolores for tempting Lorraine to run away and decides to come after them.
