Quest Requirements Summary
| Quest Step | Objective | Location | Difficulty |

Defeating Deku 40 Times: Boss Strategy
The first major quest requirement tasks you with defeating Deku, a boss found in the Legend Arena, a total of 40 times. This is a significant time investment that requires a solid combat strategy and efficient farming approach.
Deku Boss Profile
| Stat | Details |
|---|---|
| Location | Legend Arena |
| Required Kills | 40 |
| Recommended Level | 100+ |
| Respawn Time | Short (arena-based) |
| Key Threat | High burst damage attacks |
Melee Strategy
- Use hit-and-run tactics
- Dodge heavy strikes
- Capitalize on recovery frames
- Bring healing items
Ranged Strategy
- Maintain safe distance
- Use projectile attacks
- Watch for gap-closers
- Chip damage consistently
Group Strategy
- Split aggro among teammates
- Coordinate attack windows
- Faster kill count overall
- Share healing resources
Defeating Deku 40 times solo can take several hours. Consider teaming up with other players in the Legend Arena to speed up the process. Group kills still count toward your quest progress, making this the most efficient approach.
Kill Count Tracking
| Kills Completed | Estimated Time (Solo) | Estimated Time (Group) |
|---|---|---|
| 10 kills | 30-45 min | 10-15 min |
| 20 kills | 60-90 min | 20-30 min |
| 30 kills | 90-135 min | 30-45 min |
| 40 kills | 2-3 hours | 40-60 min |
All Five Torch Locations Walkthrough
After completing the Deku boss requirement, the Observation Haki NPC will task you with finding and lighting five hidden torches scattered throughout the Lineage Piece map. These torches are spread across different zones, requiring careful navigation.
Each torch must be interacted with directly. Simply walking near them is not enough. Approach each torch and press the interact key to light it. Torches do not need to be lit in a specific order.
Torch Location Overview
| Torch Number | General Area | Landmark Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Torch 1 | Deep Rock Jungle entrance | Near the Observation Haki NPC |
| Torch 2 | Coastal cliff area | East of starting village |
| Torch 3 | Mountain pass | North of Legend Arena |
| Torch 4 | Forest clearing | Behind the waterfall zone |
| Torch 5 | Hidden cave | Underground passage near the jungle |
Torch 1 - Deep Rock Jungle
The first torch is located near the Observation Haki NPC in Deep Rock Jungle. After accepting the torch quest, turn around and head toward the jungle entrance. The torch is positioned against a large rock formation to the left of the main path.
Torch 2 - Coastal Cliffs
Head east from the starting village toward the coastline. Follow the cliff edge until you reach a small plateau overlooking the water. The second torch sits at the edge of this plateau, partially obscured by vegetation.
Torch 3 - Mountain Pass
Travel north from the Legend Arena. Follow the mountain path upward until you reach a narrow pass between two large rock walls. The torch is tucked into an alcove on the right side of the pass.
Torch 4 - Forest Clearing
Locate the waterfall zone west of Deep Rock Jungle. Walk behind the waterfall to find a hidden forest clearing. The fourth torch stands in the center of this clearing next to a fallen tree.
Torch 5 - Hidden Cave
Return to Deep Rock Jungle and look for an underground passage entrance near the southern boundary. Descend into the cave system and follow the main tunnel. The final torch is in the deepest chamber of the cave.
Once all five torches are lit, return to the Observation Haki NPC in Deep Rock Jungle. The NPC will acknowledge your completion and grant you the Observation Haki ability immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the Lineage Piece torch locations used for?
The five torch locations are part of the Observation Haki quest chain. You must find and light all five torches scattered across the map after defeating Deku 40 times. Once all torches are lit and you return to the NPC, you unlock the Observation Haki ability.
Q: Do I need to light the torches in a specific order?
No, the torches do not need to be lit in any particular order. You can visit them in whatever sequence is most convenient based on your current map position. However, following a route from Torch 1 through Torch 5 in order is generally the most efficient path.
Q: Can other players see or interact with my torches?
The torch quest is tied to your individual character progression. Other players cannot interfere with your torch objectives. Each player must light their own set of torches to complete the Observation Haki quest.
Q: What level should I be before starting the Observation Haki quest?
A level of 100 or higher is recommended before attempting this questline. The Deku boss in the Legend Arena can deal significant damage, and some torch locations are in higher-level zones. Having upgraded weapons and armor will make the Deku farming phase much faster.
Q: Does defeating Deku in a group count toward my 40 kills?
Yes, any participation in a Deku defeat counts toward your quest progress, including group kills. This makes teaming up with other players the most efficient way to complete the 40-kill requirement.
