"The Sign" quest item ID 2642

Part 7: The Sign

1. Talk to Kirkena and she's happy you stopped Serin. You'll get experience points as a reward. And she asks you to talk to Lady Hell once more. (if you took the witch path above, you need to have all 5 Witch's Medal in your inventory)
Note: Serin (in Nifflehiem town) will give you base exp if you return her ring to her (if you took the path that gave it). This must be done before talking to Lady Hell, otherwise Serin will tell you "....." and /sob.

2. Talk to Depressing Man, Gen to enter to Lady Hell room. When you meet Lady Hell, she won't have much to say to you.

3. Next, go the Valkyrie Temple and talk to Sandra. She's happy that you can complete the quest, and proved your courage to God. She'll give you The Sign as proof that you are God's Chosen One. You'll be able to enter Valhalla with The Sign.

4. Go back to Prontera and pass The Sign to Metz. He's pretty excited when you pass The Sign to him and he is glad you completed the quest. He'll start to study The Sign.
Metz takes 3-4 hours to study The Sign. When you pass him The Sign, take note of the time you handed it to him, convert that time into PST/PDT, then round up to the next even hour (2, 4, 6, 8, 10 ,12), then add two hours to that number, you will have a two hour pickup window beginning then. For example if you hand it to him at 13:20 PST/PDT, you should round up to 14:00 PST/PDT, then come back between 16:00 PST/PDT and 18:00 PST/PDT[1]

5. After taking The Sign, Metz asks you to bring it to Engel Howard (mjo_dun02 88 295) to fix it.
Engel takes around 3-4 hours to fix The Sign (into an equippable accessory). When you pass him The Sign, take note of the time you handed it to him, convert that time into PST/PDT, then round up to the next even hour (2, 4, 6, 8, 10 ,12), then add two hours to that number, you will have a two hour pickup window beginning then. For example if you hand it to him at 13:20 PST/PDT, you should round up to 14:00 PST/PDT, then come back between 16:00 PST/PDT and 18:00 PST/PDT[1]

6. Bring The Sign back to Metz. After he finds out the truth of The Sign, his wish is fulfilled. He will then give you 2,000,000 base EXP.
It should be noted that the 5% ATK that The Sign gives is a boost similar to a racial or elemental card, not a straight ATK boost. (aka, the ATK portion of The Sign will not affect skills like Soul Destroyer, High Speed Cart Ram or Grand Cross)
Note: You may return Serin's Gold Ring to Serin during this time before you talk to Lady Hell the final time.

7. Bring The Sign and Sobbing Starlight to Gen (niflheim 146 241). Gen will warp you to his Master's room. Meet Lady Hell and pass the Sobbing Starlight to her. Then sit back and watch the fireworks display! After the fancy display, Lady Hell will give you Lucifer's Lament. (Lucifer's Lament is transferable, which means you may use it on any character.)

8. Go to the Geffen Fountain and click on it to enter Geffenia. The portal will open temporarily North of the Fountain, and anyone regardless of class, level, or having done the quest may enter it. Be warned however that this map has strong monsters.
