Okay, well I'm going to do hunt 'God or Devil?'

You need to go Pharos and get black orbs to put on the pedestal.
One problem, no one is dropping black orbs, I've been up to the 97th floor of Pharos but no orbs, I've finished the storyline part for Pharos so I don't know. >_>
 
Heh, you need to go down into the Subterra what'sit. It can be tough... But it's the lower levels you need to be on, not going upwards. You might want to make sure you have good armor and equipment because it can get really tricky. If you don't manage to grab the orbs, they join together in one of the four offset rooms. Just keep looking fer em.
 
What Neliel said.

When you enter the Pharos, go straight to the elevator, and go down to the lower levels. there'll be 4 pedastals on Penumbra, then four on Umbra, and 4 again on Abysaal.

You'll also have to defeat the hidden boss "Phoenix" who is on Penumbra near the north side (his location isn't on the mini map, you'll have to search him out without the use of your map/mini map)

Just kill foes around these lower levels.

If you want to know how many black orbs you need then here ya go:

Penumbra:
South East Pedastal: 3 South West Pedastal: 6 North West: 9 North East: 18

Umbra:
SE: 15 SW: 18 NW: 9 NE: 15

Abysaal:
SE: 27 SW: 12 NW: 21 NE:15

If you put more orbs than you need into the pedastals, you'll have to start again (so if you put 5 in the SE Ped in Penumbra, it'll just swallow them, and you'll have to collect the orbs again, and go back and refill. So make sure you put the right amounts in)


Once you're finished with the orbs, go to the elevator and the "Unknown" floor will be available. The Seer is waiting there.
 
Also worthy of note is that the required number of black orbs is indeed a hefty order to grind. Instead of picking the small black orbs up straight away, leave them and they'll begin to float in a particular direction. Eventually, you'll stumble across a rather large black orb, the value of which is 3 x #of small black orbs left alone. Basically, you'll need to kill only a third of the number of enemies and you'll get to Shadowseeker in a third of the time.
