The 14 quest steps

1. 1Talk to Silvosse

   Dialogue[-11,-13] · Silvosse

   The quest starts right after the previous one. Silvosse fears for Nature and wants to help you get the last piece of amber, the spirit amber. The spirits are angry: you have to meditate to calm them and reconnect with them.

   

2. 2Meditate near the spirit spring

   Combat[24,-35] · Irritating Moskito

   In the Plantala forest, click the small Pandawa statue meditating at the bottom right to imitate it. Moskitos come to disturb your meditation: talk to an Irritating Moskito to drive them away. A wave fight starts, doable in a group.

3. 3Talk to the Serene Spirit

   Dialogue[24,-35] · Serene Spirit

   After the fight, click the statue again to resume meditating. The Serene Spirit appears, curious to see an adventurer meditating. Spirit amber does not exist in this world: it shows you a light to follow.

4. 4Follow the Golden Light

   Movement

   Stand on a cell adjacent to the Golden Light and talk to it to touch it: it moves further away. Repeat on each map. At [26,-30], it enters the Bamboo Grove.

   • [24,-35] touch the Golden Light near the spring
   • [24,-33] touch it again
   • [25,-31] touch it again
   • [26,-30] touch it: it enters the Bamboo Grove

6. 6Talk to Damadrya

   Dialogue[26,-30] · Damadrya

   Before leaving the dungeon, talk to Damadrya. The spirit of the Wapishikami forest remembers a lumberjack, a friend of the Plantalas, born in the rain but buried far from here: bring him back to his homeland and he will give you what you are looking for.

   Dialogue

8. 8Drive the Trools out of the burial site

   Combat[-14,-59] · Defiler Trool

   Trools are desecrating a burial site with Pandalian inscriptions. Talk to the Defiler Trool: it is impossible to reason with them. A fight starts against three monsters, doable in a group.

   Dialogue

   1. “Send the three monsters to Externam”

9. 9Talk to the Uprooted Ghost

   Dialogue[-14,-59] · Uprooted Ghost

   The ghost thanks you. Tell it that you have come to bring it home: sap used to flow in its veins, and there is only one shoot to carry.

10. 10Carry the Bamboo Shoot

    [-14,-59] · Bamboo Shoot

    Stand on a cell adjacent to the Bamboo Shoot that has just appeared, then talk to it to carry it to Pandala.

    Collect[24,-35]

    Go back to the Plantala spirit spring and click the Pandawa statue at the bottom right to bury the shoot.

    Dialogue[24,-35] · Serene Spirit

    The spirit is worried by the absence of the ochre dragon. Reassure it: with the three ambers, you intend to renew Terrakourial's oath. It tells you about the evil forest. The quest ends; continue the conversation to start the next one.
