Breaking the Curse is a Versal story quest: Freud needs a Kentaurus King Horn and a Manon Feather to move the curse off Horntail's stone. Both items come from mini-bosses in the forests east of Versafre, and one of the maps has a confusing name.

Walkthrough

  1. Finish The Sleeping Dragon (Pam's Music Box leads to it) and talk to Freud.
  2. Get the Kentaurus King Horn. Kentaurus King (level 24, 2,500 HP) stands at the end of the Eastern Versal Forest: go east from Versafre into Eastern Versal Forest <1> and on to the seventh area. That last map is named Western Versal Forest <7> even though it sits on the Eastern Versal Forest street. It drops the horn every time.
  3. Get the Manon Feather. Manon (level 26) is in Versal Twilight <7>. Enter Versal Twilight from Versafre as well. Manon drops the feather every time.
  4. Bring both to Freud for 32,000 EXP. The next quest, The Heroes in the Relic, is with Benedict in the Versal Nexus.
!
Warning Manon uses a very strong spell no matter how low its level is. Be ready to heal after it, even at level 60 or higher.

Common problems

  • I ended up at the real Western Versal Forest and found no Kentaurus King. Use the forest on the east side of Versafre; the correct final map is called Western Versal Forest <7>.
  • The feather or horn did not drop. Both drop 100% from the boss; if it did not appear, check that your Etc tab has room.
