The 9 quest steps

1. 1Talk to Terrakourial's Seal

   Dialogue[-3,19] · Terrakourial's Seal

   The quest starts right after the previous one, with Terrakourial's Seal. You must have the “Beneath the Surface” bonus, given by an Enchanterelle, and the Ochre Ring equipped. To check that the imprisoned evil cannot escape, you will become one with the amber block thanks to the ring.

   

2. 2Face the Horned Queen

   Combat · Horned Queen

   Inside the amber block, your appearance changes. Talk to the Horned Queen, the imprisoned she-demon: she first takes you for an ally of Dark Vlad, then recognizes an ancient breath in you. Talk to her again: furious at your silence, she sends evil spirits to attack you. A tactical fight starts, solo.

3. 3Understand the Malters fight

   You have 50 HP, 12 AP and 6 MP, whatever your equipment, and not your class spells: only 4 special spells, plus one unusable spell that summarizes the fight. The fight is based on the Memory game: you are on a central island, surrounded by four islands (north, south, east, west) where 32 Malters are hidden, 8 per island. There are 4 types of Malters (Malwood, Malterbarb, Maltrio, Malzerb), 8 of each: you must match them in identical pairs, that is 16 pairs.

   If the fight isn't over by turn 31, you are killed in one hit: find all the pairs before then.

4. 4Avoid the visible Malters

   Combat

   The Demonic Malter, red, always stays visible. It changes island every 2 turns (turns 3, 5, 7, 9, 11…) counterclockwise, and deals 10 damage if you are in its line of sight when it starts its turn. Two different revealed Malters stay visible until they are matched with their twin: they then deal you 1 damage if you are in their line of sight when they play.

5. 5Use the four special spells

   Terrakourial's Premonition (2 HP) places a glyph under each Malter in your line of sight, without revealing its type, and shows the number of Malters remaining per island. Amber Perception (1 HP, refunded if you hit a Malter) reveals a Malter without line of sight across the whole map: two identical Malters revealed on the same turn are killed at the end of the turn, and each pair restores 2 HP. Fossil Intuition (free, once per turn) gives the type of the Malters in a cross of size 1, without revealing them, even out of line of sight. Amber Shield (3 HP, every 4 turns) makes you invulnerable for one turn, including to your own spells: cast it at the start of the turn.

   After two Malters revealed by Amber Perception, the spell can no longer be used that turn. On an empty cell, it costs 1 HP. Some Malters are never in line of sight: flush them out with Fossil Intuition or Amber Perception.

6. 6Form the pairs

   Each turn, cast Terrakourial's Premonition from a different cell and note the cells where Malters are detected. Reveal a Malter that won't see you at the end of the turn, then use Fossil Intuition every turn to learn the type of other Malters, ideally forming a pair as early as turn 1. When Premonition no longer detects anything, search the blind spots with Fossil Intuition or Amber Perception.

   A little damage from the Malters isn't serious, but never stay in the Demonic Malter's line of sight: it hits 10 times harder. Save Amber Shield for risky turns.

7. 7Note down the Malters on a screenshot

   If you are struggling, take a screenshot when the fight starts and annotate it in an image editor, one color per Malter type. First mark in white all the cells detected by Premonition, color them in as you use Fossil Intuition, then color in black the pairs that have been eliminated. Preferably reveal Malters on the same side, and anticipate which island the Demonic Malter will be on next turn.

   This method can be slow: you must finish before turn 31. Take risks, vitality matters little in this fight.

8. 8Repair the seal

   [-3,19] · Terrakourial's Seal

   Talk to the Horned Queen again: she tries to move but cannot free herself, her amber prison is solid enough. Re-equip the Ochre Ring if you had removed it, then talk to Terrakourial's Seal again to release Terrakourial's breath from the ring and strengthen the prison even further.

   The Ochre Ring must be equipped to repair the seal.

9. 9Go back to see Otomai

   Dialogue[-55,15] · Otomai

   Head to the very top of the Hakam tree, on foot or with an Otomai Potion. Otomai takes back the ring: through your devotion, you become part of the story of the forest dragon. One mystery remains, the story of the she-demon and Terrakourial. The quest ends.

   Dialogue

   1. “Tell Otomai that your mission was a success and give him back the ocher ring”

   • 1 × Ochre Ringto hand over
