Garmoth’s Heart (Fiery Weapons) Guide

Introduction

Garmoth’s Heart is a very rare drop in BDO that can be transformed into an Inverted Heart of Garmoth. The Inverted Heart can then be fused onto certain offhand and awakening weapons for extra effects, turning the weapon into a “Fiery” weapon.

How to obtain Garmoth’s Heart

Garmoth’s Heart can only be obtained as a rare drop from the Garmoth World boss.

Inverted Heart of Garmoth can also be obtained by completing the Inverted Heart Questline, which is a once per family questline.

 

Both Garmoth’s Heart and the Inverted Heart of Garmoth can be bought on the central market. However, since the drop rate is so low, there are a lot of preorders. I recommend putting a preorder on Garmoth’s Heart as early as possible, and attending as many Garmoth boss spawns as possible.

• The world boss spawn times can be found in our World Bosses & Field Bosses guide.
• You can also join our Discord server, which has boss alerts for all regions and console.

Changing Garmoth’s Heart to an Inverted Heart

After obtaining Garmoth’s Heart either from the central market or as a drop from Garmoth, you will need to exchange it for an Inverted Heart of Garmoth before you can fuse it to a weapon.

To do this, go to Hughol the Blacksmith in Duvencrune and take the quest [Weekly] Inverting the Energy.

 

To complete the quest, you will need to hand over:

• Hesed’s Crystal x5
• Concentrated Magical Black Stone (Weapon) x3.

You can buy the Black Stones from the market, but Hesed’s Crystal is not available on the central market and can only be crafted at the Level 2 Duvencrune Weapon Workshop (Duvencrune 5 house – costs 4 CP).

To make Hesed’s Crystal you will need to process other materials:

These items can also be processed at the Duvencrune 5 workshop

Black Energy Residue x25	⇒	Refined Black Energy Residue x1
Refined Black Energy Residue x11	⇒	Hesed’s Crystal x1

In total, you will need Black Energy Residue x1375

Black Energy Residue can only be obtained by defeating monsters in Dreighan.

 

Put the items in your storage, then assign a worker to process the materials. It can take a few hours to process all of the materials. Use a Goblin worker to ensure you have the fastest work speed.

 

Once the Hesed’s Crystals have been crafted, hand over the items to Hughol using the chat option to complete the quest.

 

You will get an Inverted Energy as a quest reward.

Open the Processing Window (L) and use the heating option to combine the Inverted Energy and your Garmoth’s Heart.

 

How to fuse your Inverted Heart to a weapon

Speak to your Black Spirit and click “Item Reform” at the bottom. Select your weapon and Inverted Heart of Garmoth, then click the “Reform” button to fuse it to your weapon.

How to remove the Inverted Heart

To remove Garmoth’s Heart, you will need to first buy a Mirror of Equilibrium from Hughol in Duvencrune. The mirror costs 10 million silver and can only be bought from Hughol.

 

 

You can then speak to Hughol (or any other Blacksmith) and use the “Extraction” then “Extract Reform Stone” option. Place your weapon and the Mirror into the UI and click “Extract”.

• Removing Garmoth’s Heart will return the item to you.
• To extract Garmoth’s Heart, you will need to remove any crystals from the weapon first.

Inverted Heart of Garmoth Questline

A questline was added with the O’dyllita region which rewards you with an Inverted Heart of Garmoth if you complete the entire questline.

• The questline can only be completed once per family.
• This questline is only unlocked if have completed the O’dyllita Main Story Questline.
• You can complete the Chapter quests in any order.
• It requires a bunch of items and takes a long time to complete. The most annoying to obtain are the 400 intact Nouver Scales since they only drop from the Nouver World Boss.

The questline is obtained by speaking to the Black Eyeroot NPC located underground in the Crypt of Resting Thoughts and starts with the quest “Orzeca’s Records: Time of Dragons”.

Chapter 1 – Star’s End’s Artifact

For the first chapter quest, you must complete the Star’s End main story questline. The last quest in this questline will give you an item called the Fallen God’s Ring.

If you have already completed the questline on your character and deleted or lost the ring, you can speak to Merio at North Kaia Pier in Calpheon to receive another.

 

After completing this questline, you can hand over the Fallen God’s Ring by taking it back to the Black Eyeroot in O’dylitta.

Killing the Nouver World boss will reward you with 2 – 3 Nouver Scales each time.

 

 

To unlock the weekly quests, you first need to pick up the Chapter 13 quest from the Black Eyeroot – “[Chapter 13] Alliance and Cooperation” then talk to Blanca Tris at the Narcion node in O’dyllita. This will also complete Chapter 13.
