Firstly, note that you can't get the Barheim Key (and thusly can't proceed with this quest) without first passing the Raithwall's Tomb area towards the beginning of the game, where you get Belias.
HERE WE GOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Barheim Passage is of course where you must go to continue. Once you have the Key, head South of Dalmasca Estersand/South Bank Village into the Banks of the Nebra area. Go South East into the small area called Murmuring Defile. Here you'll see a corridor and a door, which is opened with the Barheim Key. Enter.You end up in the Barheim Passage/The Zeviah Subterrane area. Head South West,
the North, and enter the next area (Great Central Passage). Go North one more screen to the North-South Junction, where a Gate Crystal is. Save here. Now hold down the Flee button, so you arent bothered by anything. Its time to navigate to Ithuno. This part can be tricky to describe, so just look at your Select map and the NAME of the area you are. Starting at the Gate Crystal, go South one screen to the Great Central Passage. Keep the camera behind you, and turn to your character's right (technically West) and run until you come upon 2 railroad tunnels. They are visible on your map at the far West end of this area (one passage is going perfectly West, the other is going slightly North West, rightontop of it). You want to go down the passage going perfectly West. If you went correctly,
youre now in Special Op Sector 5. Go forward (technically West) through this passage. Having Libra on, you should pass a trap. Then, there should be 2 level 36-40 Suriander enemies (the frog ones). These are pretty annoying, as there are about 7 in this passage. They cast Angelsong and can attack for 400+ damage (depending on your level). However, we're going to bypass most
of them. Flee past these two. There will be another one soon after these guys. Run past. Just beyond this one is a huge Adamantitan enemy. He'll cast a bunch of -ara spells if you get too close, but he can be totally
avoided if you just hug the wall and run past. Past him, you should now find yourself running from dirt onto railroad tracks again. There should be a frog enemy ont he tracks infront of you. Midway down these tracks, near this frog, will be a boulder on your characters' right (technically north).This boulder is where Ithuno is. He's a mimic, remember, so hell be disguised as a treasure (looks like a vase of some kind). He'll be on the FAR SIDE of this boulder. Now, turn on your attack Gambits and quickly kill this frog enemy, since he'll only annoy you in the upcoming battle. Once dead, you can start the fight. But wait...
Ithuno may not even be there! Look behind the rock. You'll see one of four things:
1) A regular treasure
2) A silvery treasure (distinctly different. Its silver with some purple on the inside - this is Ithuno)
3) A regular AND a silvery treasure
4) Nothing
You obviously want to see that silvery treasure there. If you dont, press Start, Square, and return to the title screen. Reload from your save point, and return to this area to check again. Keep doing this until you actually find the silvery treasure. Note that Ithuno is randomized after every reload your game has. So he could be there, he could not be. After you steal from him, you can save and reload and go back. He'll randomly be there again. This is how the trick works. Now you must confront Ithuno.
TO CONFRONT ITHUNO !
Ok, so the frog's dead, and you have a silvery treasure infront of you. Turn OFF your attack Gambits, make sure the others are ready. Make sure each member has Protect and Haste on them, with (optional) Thiefs Cuffs equipped. And make sure the healer is ready to heal. Now examine the treasure, and it pops open to reveal the mimic Ithuno. He is pretty strong, level 50+. With your characters level 27-30, he'll be dealing around 700 damage per hit. He also uses Leech, which drains your health and adds it to his. Not that his health really matters,because we're only stealing from him. Your guys should immediately begin stealing. Remember that it's normal to have lots of Steal fails for a while. When a character gets low on HP, Curaga should be cast. And whensomeone dies, Raise should be cast. Keep Stealing until you get the Deathbringer. Then, Flee out of this area, and make your way back to the Gate Crystal. Save. Restart. Repeat.
The Deathbringer is the ONLY treasure Ithuno is holding. And he only holds ONE each time you face him. So once you steal a Deathbringer, you can't steal another right then. You have to save and reload, and try again. However, you CAN save, reload, go back, and Steal Deathbringers an infinite amount of times.
This entire fight can be done where Ithuno is found (location-wise).
Infact, its much easier that way. However, if youre weak at this point, and dont have the stamina to take any of Ithuno's attacks, you should
do this: Engage Ithuno, then Flee for your life. Flee past all the other enemies (if you didnt kill them) to the entrance to this area, making sure Ithuno is following you. Then, start Stealing from him and whatnot. IF you get too low on HP, exit the area, and heal up. Use Magicks and Items,though, because using the Save Crystal to heal will mess up Ithuno's position. Dont do that. Once healed, return and he should be right at the entrance still. Repeat this until you have the sword.
