The Corsairs' Dilemma is a Side Quest in Romancing Saga 2: Revenge of the Seven. Read on to find out how to start The Corsairs' Dilemma quest, the rewards you can get, and the step-by-step walkthrough of The Corsairs' Dilemma!
List of Contents
| Route | Choices |
|---|---|
| Nuono Recommended* |
During the conversation with the Corsair Captain, choose I am here to demand your service, then choose En garde! |
| Messina Mines | During the conversation with the Corsair Captain, choose I demand to see your leader, then choose Very well when asked to help clean out the Messina Mines. |
| Cape Chalier | Enter their hideout in Mobelm and choose Good job out there. Let's go and grab a drink. |
The Coirsairs' Dilemma side quest branches into three routes. You'll get a different set of objectives on different locations depending on the options you chose. This may also affect whether or not you'll be able to recruit the Corsair.
| Route | Events |
|---|---|
| Nuono |
• Cannot enter the Messina Mines • Corsair character class unlocked. |
| Messina Mines |
• Can obtain the Book of Light & Earth I at the Messina Mines. • Corsair character class isn't unlocked. ▶ All Spell Book Locations |
| Cape Chalier |
• Cannot enter the Messina Mines • Corsair character class unlocked. |

Normally, the Nuono and Cape Chalier routes lock away the Messina Mines, causing you to miss getting the Book of Light & Earth I in exchange for unlocking the Corsair class as soon as possible.
However, you can obtain the spell book and still unlock the Corsair by following the Hybrid Route.

The hybrid route involves doing only the first step of the Messina Mines route to unlock the dungeon, entering and obtaining the book, and then immediately returning to Mobelm without completing the route.
From there, taking the Cape Chalier route will complete the quest and unlock the Corsair class.

If you complete the Messina Mines route normally, you'll have another chance to recruit the Corsair character class, by clearing Garon's Rebellion, an event that launches some time after finishing The Corsairs' Dilemma side quest.
You'll be able to unlock the Corsair Character Class if you finished the side quest in certain ways, either by assaulting Nuono or infiltrating it via Cape Chalier.

If a Corsair becomes emperor, The Rapid Stream formation will become available after talking to the soldier in the Battle Formation Training Camp in Avalon.
