Lineage Piece Crowbar Quest Overview
The Lineage Piece Crowbar quest is the foundational step for players looking to unlock the Stylish Bandit Beater, a mandatory precursor to obtaining the highly sought-after Shadow weapon. Inspired by Cid Kagenou from The Eminence in Shadow, this weapon features flashy abilities and massive damage scaling that makes it a top-tier choice for endgame content.
To begin your journey, you must travel to Starter Island and locate the Stylish Bandit Beater NPC. This NPC acts as the gatekeeper for the weapon and will present you with two specific requirements before allowing you to purchase it. Completing these tasks efficiently is crucial for minimizing your overall grind time.
You cannot skip the Crowbar quest. Both Crowbars must be collected, and the 5,000,000 damage requirement must be met before the NPC will offer the weapon for purchase. Attempting to buy the weapon without fulfilling these criteria will result in a dialogue rejection.
The quest is designed to test your knowledge of the map and your ability to survive sustained enemy damage. Below is a detailed breakdown of the two primary objectives:
| Objective | Requirement | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Collect Crowbar #1 | Find under a tree | Near the red-roof house on Starter Island |
| Collect Crowbar #2 | Find on the ground | Beach area, left of the teleporter |
| Take Damage | Absorb 5,000,000 damage | Any location (Scorched Ruins recommended) |
Crowbar Locations on Starter Island
Finding both Crowbars is the first half of the quest. Starter Island is a relatively small zone, but the Crowbars are tucked away in specific environmental niches that can be easy to miss if you do not know where to look.
Crowbar #1: The Red-Roof House
The first Crowbar is located under a tree near the house with the distinctive red roof. When you arrive at Starter Island, orient yourself toward the residential structures. The red-roof house stands out among the other buildings. Check the base of the tree directly adjacent to this house, and you should see the Crowbar resting on the ground.
Crowbar #2: The Beach
The second Crowbar is found on the beach area, to the left of the teleporter. Head toward the coastline from the center of Starter Island. Position yourself at the teleporter and move left along the sandy shore. The Crowbar will be visible on the ground near the water's edge.
Both Crowbars can be picked up by simply walking into them or interacting with them. If you are having trouble seeing them, adjust your camera angle to look at the ground level. They have a slight glow that makes them easier to spot in lower graphics settings.
Crowbar #1 - Red Roof
- Location: Under the tree
- Landmark: House with red roof
- Difficulty: Easy to find
- Tip: Check all trees near the house
Crowbar #2 - Beach
- Location: On the sand
- Landmark: Left of the teleporter
- Difficulty: Easy to find
- Tip: Walk along the shoreline
Taking 5,000,000 Damage Efficiently
The second requirement for the Crowbar quest is to absorb 5,000,000 total damage. This is arguably the most time-consuming part of the quest if you do not use an optimized method. Simply fighting regular enemies will take far too long to reach this threshold.
The Scorched Ruins Method
The fastest and most reliable strategy involves using the Extreme Trial at Scorched Ruins. Here is how to execute this method effectively:
| Step | Action | Details |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Travel to Scorched Ruins | Use the teleporter to reach this zone |
| 2 | Craft a Trial Key | Required to start the Extreme Trial |
| 3 | Start Extreme Trial | Enter the trial and prepare to take damage |
| 4 | Absorb enemy attacks | Let enemies hit you repeatedly without dodging |
| 5 | Intentionally fail | Die during Wave 2 or Wave 3 for faster resets |
Do not die too quickly. You want to survive long enough to absorb as many enemy hits as possible before failing. However, do not attempt to clear the waves. Intentionally failing during Wave 2 or Wave 3 allows you to reset and re-enter the trial much faster than completing it.
The Extreme Trial enemies deal significantly more damage than standard world mobs, which means you will reach the 5,000,000 damage threshold in fewer runs. Expect to repeat this process several times before the requirement is fully met.
Travel and Prepare
Head to Scorched Ruins and ensure you have the materials needed to craft a Trial Key. Stock up on multiple keys to avoid backtracking.
Enter the Extreme Trial
Use the Trial Key to initiate the Extreme Trial. Position yourself in the center of the enemy spawn area.
Tank and Fail
Allow enemies to attack you continuously. Once you have absorbed a substantial amount of damage, let yourself fall during Wave 2 or Wave 3.
Repeat Until Complete
Reset and re-enter the trial. Track your progress by returning to the Stylish Bandit Beater NPC on Starter Island to check if the damage requirement is satisfied.
Purchasing the Stylish Bandit Beater
Once you have collected both Crowbars and absorbed 5,000,000 damage, return to the Stylish Bandit Beater NPC on Starter Island. The NPC will now allow you to purchase the weapon, provided you have the necessary currency.
Cost Breakdown
| Currency | Amount | Farming Tips |
|---|---|---|
| Coins | 150,000 | Earned from quests, enemy drops, and dungeon clears |
| Gems | 600 | Premium currency from achievements and special events |
After purchasing the Stylish Bandit Beater, the Crowbar quest is officially complete. You are now ready to begin the Shadow questline on Frost Island.
The Stylish Bandit Beater is not just a cosmetic weapon. It is a mandatory tool for progressing through the Shadow questline. You will need to use it to kill 250 enemies and complete Cid's Castle Raid multiple times before you can unlock the Shadow weapon itself.

- Collect Crowbar #1 near the red-roof house
- Collect Crowbar #2 on the beach left of the teleporter
- Travel to Scorched Ruins and craft Trial Keys

What Comes Next: The Shadow Questline
Completing the Crowbar quest opens the door to one of the most powerful weapons in Lineage Piece. After obtaining the Stylish Bandit Beater, your next destination is Frost Island, where the Shadow Seller NPC awaits.
Shadow Questline Requirements
| Task | Requirement | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Kill Enemies | 250 kills with Stylish Bandit Beater | Must use the weapon to deal the killing blow |
| Cid's Castle Raid | 5 clears on Medium or higher | 10 waves with two bosses: Alpha and Cid |
Shadow Materials
After completing the questline, you will need the following materials to purchase Shadow from the Shadow Seller NPC:
| Material | Amount | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Atomic Core | x1 | Raid completion drops |
| Shadow Fragments | x5 | Cid boss drops |
| Shadow Orbs | x10 | Raid completion drops |
| Black Slime | x100 | Enemy drops throughout the raid |
During your raid runs, you may obtain Cid Keys, which allow you to teleport directly into the dungeon. These are extremely valuable for speeding up your farming runs, especially since the drop rates for Shadow materials are notably low.
Shadow Mastery Requirements
For players looking to maximize Shadow's potential, unlocking the R Move through the Mastery NPC requires significant additional investment:
| Requirement | Amount |
|---|---|
| Damage dealt using Shadow | 1,500,000,000 |
| Eminence Race | x1 |
| Eminence Title | x1 |
| Boss Kills | 75 |
| Cid Dungeon Clears (Hard/Extreme) | 15 |
Shadow's Outfit Buffs
- Strength: x1
- Defense: x1.1
- Weapon: x2
- Power: x1
Best Raid Strategy
- Focus on Cid boss for material drops
- Use Cid Keys for instant access
- Play on Hard or Extreme for mastery progress
Farming Priority
- Prioritize Black Slime (x100 needed)
- Farm Shadow Orbs alongside fragments
- Atomic Core is the rarest drop
