   Meet the requirements:

   • At least 400 mastery in Dark Step: You only need to defeat enemies using moves in the Dark Step fighting style to get enough mastery. To get mastery faster, you should consider grinding bosses. If you don't have Dark Step already, find the Dark Step Teacher in Pirate Village in the First Sea, at Hot and Cold in the Second Sea, or inside Castle on the Sea in the Third Sea.
   • $2,500,000.
   • 5,000 fragments: Raids will get you fragments quickly, but you can read more about farming fragments in this wikiHow article.

   Get a Library Key. You can get the key to drop from the Awakened Ice Admiral or have a smaller chance by defeating Ice Castle enemies. Note the Awakened Ice Admiral (lvl 1400) is not the same NPC as the Ice Admiral boss that's level 700.

   • Note that all of the Awakened Ice Admiral's highest-hitting moves are melee range, so if you can stay back from him. You can also lure the Awakened Ice Admiral to a wall and get him stuck behind it, which means that you can easily damage him without having to move.

   Use the Library Key to open the Ice Castle door. You cannot talk to the NPC to get Death Step even if you use a skill to enter the door without the Library Key.

   Talk to the NPC and purchase Death Step. Once you meet the above requirements, Phoeyu will offer to teach you Death Step.

   • Using a skill, like Flash Step, to get inside the locked room without the Library Key prevents you from talking to Phoeyu.
