The 18 quest steps

1. 1Talk to Amayiro

   Dialogue[-32,-57] · Amayiro

   The quest starts at the Bonta militia, with Amayiro. Rather than entrusting Hogmeiser's coded document to Bonta's cryptographers, he would rather show it to Bowisse.

   

2. 2Have the coded document deciphered

   Dialogue[5,1] · Bowisse

   Go to Bowisse's workshop. The cobbler recognizes his master's handwriting: the document is said to be about the origins of the Quadraforce. He hasn't used this code in a long time, but the beginning mentions a sacred juice owned by Star Knaykidd.

   Dialogue

   1. “Tell him about the discoveries made since the last visit and ask for the coded document to be decrypted”

   • 1 × Coded Documentto give

   

3. 3Question Star Knaykidd

   Dialogue[21,-28] · Star Knaykidd

   In Pandala, Star Knaykidd pretends not to know this juice, then opens up when you mention Hogmeiser's document. The last person to question her about it, Captain Chafer, brought a curse on her ancestors: she refuses to make sacred juice again until the curse is lifted. Only the old Huppermages could help her, so she has you drink a potion that will guide you step by step.

   

4. 4Get Bella Mentary's Sphere

   Items[38,-20] · Maha Shoja

   With the four Pandawushu Artefacts, go to Rok Island, reached through the portal in [-4,-2]. Maha Shoja first refuses to help you, because of a dispute with Aylettawa. Reveal a secret to her, Rob Mirbelec is alive and well: she agrees and makes you a Bella Mentary's Sphere.

   Dialogue

   1. “Explain that the Pandawa goddess guided you here with these artefacts”

   • 1 × Wind Pandawushu Artefactto hand over
   • 1 × Water Pandawushu Artefactto hand over
   • 1 × Fire Pandawushu Artefactto hand over

10. 10Talk to Inda Knaykidd

    Dialogue[35,-43] · Inda Knaykidd

    Inda Knaykidd has just appeared: the affront to her family is washed away, and her descendants have nothing more to fear. The curse is lifted.

11. 11Receive the sacred juice

    Dialogue[21,-28] · Star Knaykidd

    Go back to Star Knaykidd to tell her the curse is lifted. She thanks you and gives you the long-coveted sacred cereal juice.

12. 12Show the sacred juice to Bowisse

    Items[5,1] · Bowisse

    Bowisse has finally deciphered the whole message: you must mix the juice with a Sutol flower, then drink the mixture in front of a Maimane totem, to make contact with a message magically sealed in the totem. As Hogmeiser had asked him, he has been growing Sutols in his cellar for years.

    Dialogue

    Click the totem again to read Hogmeiser's Knowledge. He found only 3 of the 4 fragments of the Quadraforce: the fourth was hidden by the Falistos. A Falistos told him that each fragment had been dipped in a different power well, which can also strengthen one's magic or create spells; he shared this knowledge with Captain Chafer to find these wells.

18. 18Report to Amayiro

    [-32,-57] · Amayiro

    At the militia, Amayiro tells you about Archbishop Erzal: once in Brakmar's service, he is said to be trying to wipe out the leaders of both cities, wants to use the power wells and is allegedly behind the theft of the palace relic, charged with black fire. A secret meeting between Bonta and Brakmar is approaching: he must be neutralized before then. The quest ends; keep talking to receive your next mission.
