Hi guys,

[BS1] Things to know before you embark on the quest:

• This quest is not hard at all but will take a lot of your time so be prepare to spent some moments on it.

• None of the quest rewards is essential to the game. Although, most of the equipment and the final reward are awesome and for free.

• Link to the wiki here

• Why would you want to do the quest? For starters, all the equipment, recipes and items that you get along the quest are free and easy to obtain. Trust me, they are many. Did I hear someone saying Great Raven’s cape also? Yes! A wonderful and unique Item.

• Why making this guide? Well, basically to have a compiled and straight forward way to get to the rewards. I want to maximize time and energy cost investment too. Also, because I found gaps while trying to complete the many instructions. I will mark them bold during the guide and feel free to modify it in the wiki if you have permission to do it.

• Can you contribute to the guide? Yes, please do! I will welcome and research anything that you think it can be done better.

• Where is the information coming from? I have used multiples sources and posts to be able to make the guide. I will enlist some at the bottom and some to quote. Mainly what I have done is took all the information in the wiki, correct it (very few corrections) and put them together for a better follow up.

Let's begin now,

The first thing that you need to do is open all the vaults and turn in all the keys

You can find a guide on how to do it here, but I will enlist it for the purpose of a straight forward guide. I will not include images or full explanations, only the quests and links you need to follow. I will not include the rewards for the keys to create thrill. Also, I don´t think is necessary. Vaults are instances inside each main city in the story. You find keys and then hand them over to get rewards.

Soooo, let´s get going:

[EV1] Opening the earth vault and hand over the keys

25 keys (the biggest vault right now)

Don’t hand over any Earth key until you gotten all or if mention on any step below. This is for a better order of the trajectory and also to skip some bugs reported.

• Earth Vault is in Royal Capital Grandshelt. So, visit the city in Grandshelt Islands.
• While you are in the city you need to take the Pendant Dependent quest. While you are in here also go and open chest number 1 in the map for Earth Key #22.
• [EK22] Key 22 – chest number 1 in Royal Capital Grandshelt.
• Complete the quest and you have access to the vault now.
• [EK05][EK24] Key 5 and 24 – Chest number 5 and 8 in Wolfsfang Peak/Exploration. In order to access chest number 8 you have to fight the Frost Dragon first. Go the your far west site of the map, kill the dragon but don`t exit. Now you can go to the far east side where the chest is and then exit to the Lost Village of Marlo exit in the map.
• [EK01] Key 1 – chest number 6 in the Lost Village of Marlo.
• [EK02][EK12] Key 2 and 12 – Chest number 1 and 11 in Lanzelt Ruins/Exploration.
• [EK03] Key 3 – Chest number 4 in Fulan Pass/Exploration.
• [EK04] Key 4 – For this key go to Port City Lydira and take the Patron of the Arts quest. You need to complete this quest before you can actually access the quest for the key 4. After getting the white megacites go ahead and talk to the other person to get The Hungers Game quest. Do not complete this quest until last. You need to find Hungers and kill them, you might as well go through the other quests and might encounter Hungers in your way. The best place that resulted in good amount of Hungers for me was in Gigantic Underground Ruins – Depths in Gronoa. According to SlySlepkava and I quote “You can find 2 Hungers per 9 energy spent in Societal Ruins - Exploration, among the zone 2 enemies. Fight 2 hungers, leave, repeat.” (Thank you Sly!!!) I’m too lazy for exploration, but certainly that would save you some energy. EDIT: pdmt243 also stated in her comment here that you can get a better change of hungers in Snow Plains - Trial Begins.
• [EK06] Key 6 – Chest number 1 in Town of Mitra
• [EK07][EK20] Key 7 and 20 – Chest number 16 in Grandport and grab the quest Operation Desert Treasure for key 20, you will complete this quest later on. Now, to get this quest you will have to go to the ports in the far left of the map. There are some barrels next to one of the warehouse. There isn´t anything to let you know were to point at, no glitter or marks, just bump into the barrels till you get some text.
• [EK25][EK13] Key 25 and 13 – Chest number 3 and 9 in Zadehl Westersand/Exploration. Complete the quest for Operation Desert Treasure too.
• [EK08] Key 8 – Chest number 7 in Wind Shrine/Exploration.
• [EK09] Key 9 – Chest number 5 in Phantom Forest/Exploration.
• [EK18] Key 18 – Chest number 12 in Port City Lodin. While you are here, open the path to Ordol Port by talking to certain people in certain order. Find the details and the map under How to Unlock here.
• [EK10] Key 10 – chest number 2 in Ordol Port.
• [EK11] Key 11 – Reward from quest A Thief Legacy in Golzas Canyon/Exploration. You have to go and hand the key in the vault before continue. You will need this later.

• [EK15] Key 15 – chest number 3 in Dalnakya Cavern/Exploration.
• [EK16] Key 16 – chest number 5 in Village of Kol.
• [EK17] Key 17 – chest number 6 in Lanzelt Highlands/Exploration
• [EK19] Key 19 – Reward from Colosseum Beginner Rank D-3
• [EK21] Key 21 – Reward from quest An Animal Tale in Village of Ambel. While you are in the village of ambel take chest number 9 for Gale key 5. This quest makes you go to Junkyard/Exploration, might as well grab Gale key 6 in chest number 4 Edit: Thanks for finding this out hawk16zz. You are not going to be able to get Gale keys until you open the vault, so you are going to have to return for this ones guys. The wiki specifically says that you are going to be able to obtain keys after the Gale vault is open, the chests for Gale keys don't even show in the map before that. Luckly that's not the case for other type of keys. I already corrected both keys entries below.
• [EK23] Key 23 – chest number 4 in Kolobos Marsh/Exploration.

Remember to complete The Hungers Game quest that we got back in Earth Vault!!!

There have being some bugs reported until this point. Let´s take a moment to talk about them.

There is a common issues with many players until the last stage in which you already handed all the keys and not able to start the last part of the quest. I want to clarify that most of the cases it was a missing key or a missing quest since you are able to continue with keys from other vaults without completing fully the one before. So make sure you have completed all the keys.

Now, It can be a bug certainly. Thanks to one of our members Meer_Exvius we were able to track down our beloved FFBE customer service to see what they could do about it. So, Meer message me a couple of weeks ago and told me his game was experience this issue. After checking all the vaults Meer indeed completed all the keys but was not able to start the last quest. Meer then contacted customer service and they took a couple of days to fix his issue. What they did was reset the whole quest so Meer could start over. Now, I tried to contact them too to reset my quest and see if i could do it over just maybe to shoot out a video for you guys. But, in my case, since i already completed the quest, they wouldn´t be able to reset the quest since i already complete it without problems and of course i had no bugs with it.

[FQ1] IT IS TIME NOW!!!!*

You've come too long and almost finishing the path that took you aons to achieve.

Key after key, exploration after exploration. Inumerable quests taken and completed. Now... It's time

Now that you handed over all the keys just follow this pretty straight forward guide in the wiki. Take some of your best units since the final monsters are not a piece of cake, unless your units are 900 MAG or ATK.

[SR1] A quick review and thank you notes

The Legendary Raven Quest is one of the most exciting quests I have ever played. If you are patient enough to go through the story you will see what I'm talking about.

SPOILER ALERT

From Orphan kids being raised by the second Raven to fill out a porpuse in live, to great warriors, mages and adventurers that left some huge past behind now keeping the vaults.

Unique story line and great characters choice. Makes you fall in love with the 1st and 3rd Raven,

I had a great time with the development of this journey, thank you for making it! So please FFBE Team, if you ever read this, make units based on this characters. Specially the first raven.

[TY1] Thank you to: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius Wiki, our reddit community (I found some material here and also some of your comments are very well put and adding to the guide) and this FFBE Forum post that helped me in one of the gaps.
