Guild of Indinera Quest #04, Guild of God Slayers Quest #04 and Guild of Inexistence Quest #04 are all related. Random's party gets Guild of Indinera Quest #04 (Find the source of the frogs) well before it can be completed. I never tried to hold off getting that quest until after Louthros joins the party, so I don't know if that's possible. Most people get that quest before then according to what's been posted in this forum already. Louthros' party gets both the Guild of God Slayers Quest #04 and Guild of Inexistence Quest #04 and here's where the sequence is important.
You have to try to complete God Slayer's #04 first. You get some frogs, but Mikkelsen doesn't show up. Return to the guild and let the guildmaster know. The guildmaster tells you part of the quest is to find out how to entice Mikkelsen to show. Next attempt Inexistence Quest #04. You don't have to complete it. But you do you have to make your way up, left and down to a small pool. Click on that pool and Wendala comes up with a theory as to why Mikkelson hasn't attacked them. If you can finish the way to the cactus, great, but even if you can't, as long as Wendala says she can't wait to share her theory with Louthros then you're good to go back to the God Slayer's Guild.
Ask the God Slayers guildmaster to send you back to the hot springs and Wendala puts her plan into action. Mikkelsen shows and, if you're successful, he's a goner. Report back to God Slayers guildmaster and it's quest complete.
It turns out that Mikkelsen is the source of all those frogs, except Random doesn't know that. How could he? He doesn't even know Louthros yet. When the party consists of Yveen, Random, Luciana, Zelena and Louthros, then you can go to the bath house in Azan. You get the clue about the rusted gate and can enter the sewers. Be sure to travel all the way to the end and click until Louthros says his team has already dispatched the guy causing all those frogs to appear. Once you get that message, and I think you get to the end, get a dialogue, then have one more square to move to click and get that key dialogue (but I may be misremembering, just keep moving and clicking). Return to the Indinera guildmaster and it's quest complete.
What happens if you completed Guild of Inexistence #04 before attempting Guild of God Slayers #04? I don't know. I do know you have to click on the pool for Wendala to get her idea. Maybe if she clicks on the pool and just gets the 'poor vulnerable pool' dialogue, she'll remember that and then still have her theory after the first failed attempt at making Mikkelsen show? If someone has already completed the Guild of Inexistence quest Cactus of Pain #04 before getting the Guild of God Slayers quest Kill Mikkelsen #04 could weigh in, that would be beneficial.
How to complete Guild of Inexistence #04- I hate mini-games that require dexterity and/or quick reflexes. I have neither. I did finally manage to complete this quest though, so it is doable. First, just get in and click the pool. Then, if you fail, you fail. Save your game so you won't have to go to the pool again. It's not a large map. There are 2 locked gates. Each requires a fire to be lit. Look for the unlit torch below in an area below that gate, light it, then race through that gate to the next. Same thing with the next gate. Look for the unlit torch, and light it, then race through that second gate to the cactus. You will probably not succeed until you know the exact path from start -> 1st torch -> 1st gate -> 2nd torch -> 2nd gate -> cactus, but once you know the exact path (and it's a small map), and you can make it without looking around, then there is sufficient time to be successful before the mummies catch up with you.
If you can't finish Quest #04, don't worry. Quest #05 has a nice reward, but, in my opinion, unless you're a completionist, the reward isn't worth it.
