Infiltrate Leo Grahart's secret base.

- Quest description

The Restless Lion is an episode 4 quest that is unique for featuring multiple enemy NPCs wielding various common weapons, and, when defeated, give the player the option to take the weapons they held.

In Ultimate difficulty, these weapons will have 50% in two enemy damage attributes, and 0%, 30% or 50% in the hit attribute, with a 2.97% chance for the hit attribute to be 50%. This makes Restless Lion a popular method of obtaining both common weapons with high-tier specials, or a Calibur with high enemy attribute percents (which is a good base Calibur for making Dark Flow), along with 50% hit.

If the first attack that connects with an NPC is capable of inflicting the Freeze status (such as Gibarta or Rabarta), the freeze will be guaranteed. Using Excalibur on frozen NPCs hits them twice, making them easy to defeat with this method.
