How to start The Edge of Glory

He’ll make a request that you travel to Mt. Vulkano looking for the War King’s Legendary Greatsword.
The Edge of Glory Walkthrough
Intel
Travel to the Skyward Tavern at Altabury Heights and speak with the Informed Woman inside. You’ll then want to purchase the “Monsters of Mt. Vulkano” intel. You’ll learn that there is a Sanctist holed up inside that wields Dark magic as do the monsters in that region. They also like to inflict Hex, which allows their attacks to deal more damage.
Explore Mt. Vulkano
This dungeon is pretty straightforward, as there are no puzzles. However, if you’d still like additional information on the chests and enemies found inside, check out our Mt. Vulkano Walkthrough.
Whenever you enter Mt. Vulkano, head forward and speak with the Tired Miner. He’ll mention that a group of people just passed by recently, including the Sanctor from the Wayward Sheperd quest. He’ll also say that they are heading to the deepest part of the area. Continue following the path north to reach the lower floor.
At the lower level, head to the eastern side of the room, where you’ll run into an Orehound Adventurer. Speak with him to learn that the Sanctor was using Dark magic to blow away the monsters by inflicting Hex.
After speaking with the adventurer, keep heading all the way down to the third floor from the bottom. In the middle of this area, you’ll find a ladder to climb up. Climb up one floor to the fourth floor. Near the ladder on the eastern wall, you’ll find a tunnel you can crawl through.
Do so to reach the other side then follow the path northwest. DO NOT jump down into any of the holes.
At the end, you’ll find a ladder to climb up. Keep climbing up until you reach the eighth floor.
On the eighth floor, head to the west side to find a path leading down to the seventh floor, where you’ll find a chest containing the Rusty Greatsword.
Now that you have the sword return to the Ornamented Man on Sunshade Row outside the Spado Smithy in Grand Trad and show it to him. He’ll polish it and realize that it isn’t a legendary sword, after all.
Quest Rewards
For completing this quest, you’ll be rewarded the Beloved Greatsword (Warrior Weapon | 400 ATK, 95 HIT, Effect: Increases MP cost and strength of Synthesis), some points into the Wisdom Royal Attribute, and 45,000 reeve.
