The quest is repeatable unlimited times and only appears if you lost the Certificate of the Squad Badge.

 * Level 135 or higher for Normal and Chaos mode.
 * Maximum 1 entry daily regardless of mode.
 * Party Leader requires in possession Certificate of the Dragon Squad to enter.

Horntail Bossfight
There are 2 parts to the fight: Preliminary fight and the Actual fight. Throughout the fight, you can only die up to a set number of times while still remaining in the fight, once the death count is used up, you will be considered dead.
 * Easy and Normal Mode: 10 death counts
 * Chaos Mode: 5 death counts

Before the real fight, there are 2 prelimary heads to kill. Their stats as follows:


 * Easy Mode
 * Level 130
 * 100,000,000 HP (100 Million HP)
 * 40% DEF
 * Neutral resistance to all elements
 * 291,960 EXP


 * Normal Mode
 * Level 160
 * 330,000,000 HP (330 Million HP)
 * 40% DEF
 * Neutral resistance to all elements
 * 291,960 EXP


 * Chaos Mode
 * Level 160
 * 3,300,000,000 HP (3.3 Billion HP)
 * 50% DEF
 * Neutral resistance to all elements
 * 389,281 EXP

For Normal and Chaos mode, it is recommended that all party members should be Level 160+ to withstand the damage.

After fighting the preliminary heads, the party will be directed to the map for the real fight. To start the bossfight, destroy the pink crystal on the far right of the map to summon Horntail by normal attacking 6 times (counts only if crystal break visual effect happens). Players must stand clear away from the middle when this happens, otherwise they'd most likely end up dying as Horntail will spawn right in the middle.

This bossfight in a way is similar to Zakum except you'll be fighting 3 heads and its bodyparts. Each of the parts have their own unique abilities.

It is recommended to take out the legs and the tail first as they can prove to be a nuisance, be wary of the Tail's touch damage as it can hit up to 27k damage, up to 33k when buffed!
