The 10 quest steps

1. 1Talk to Seijin Zena

   Dialogue[20,-36] · Seijin Zena

   This fervent meditator hears the spirits, but cannot focus on the voice of the one he is interested in. He is looking for a perfect place to meditate and, in exchange for your help, promises to answer one of the three Great Questions. He follows you as a follower character.

2. 2Take him to the top of Aerdala

   [21,-39] · Seijin Zena

   Take Seijin to the summit of Aerdala and talk to him. Too many tourists come to see the wind spirit there: the place won't do.

   

3. 3Take him in front of the statue of the Great Puddah

   [23,-35] · Seijin Zena

   In front of the statue of the Large Puddah, Seijin does not like it at all: too many Pandawas, and in his eyes the statue is an offense to the spirits.

   

4. 4Take him to the foot of the waterfall

   [21,-33] · Seijin Zena

   At the foot of the waterfall, Seijin admits that some people like the sound of water, but not him: he will never enter meditation there.

   

5. 5Take him away from everything

   [22,-34] · Seijin Zena

   This time, he likes the place, but it's infested with mosquitoes.

   

6. 6Chase away the mosquitoes

   Combat[22,-34]

   Start a fight against each group of Persistent Moskitos and Persistent Araknawas on the map: there are 6 fights in total, which can be done in a group.

   • Persistent Moskitofight · level 140 · 3,100 HP · 9 AP · 6 MP

7. 7Talk to Seijin Zena again

   Dialogue[22,-34] · Seijin Zena

   Once the map is cleared, Seijin is pleased, but your breathing distracts him. The melody of the three flute trees in the area could help him, except that there is no wind: he asks you to craft a large fan.

8. 8Craft the Large Fan

   Crafting

   In a tailor workshop, craft the Large Fan with 10 Dark Wicker, 10 Crooked Fibre, 2 Bamboo Wood and 5 Uchiwang Ribbon.

10. 10Ask one of the three Great Questions

    Dialogue[22,-34] · Seijin Zena

    Go back to see Seijin, so absorbed that he does not notice you at first. The place is perfect: he answers one of the three Great Questions, your choice. Where you come from: the Void, before taking form in Incarnam. Who you are: you are destined to become the greatest of the Guardians. Where you will go: to success, glory and power, after many obstacles.

    Dialogue

    1. “Ask him where you come from”
    2. “Ask him who you are”
    3. “Ask him where you will go”

    These three choices are your choice: only one is enough to complete the quest.
