The 13 quest steps

1. 1Talk to Osamodas's Emissary

   Dialogue[0,0] · Osamodas's Emissary

   The quest starts in the Ephemeral dimension, with Osamodas's Envoy. She recommends that you go to Pandala to discover the league's sixth arena.

   You need access to Pandala, so you must have completed Pandala Awakens.

2. 2Talk to the guard of the Forbidden Inn

   Dialogue[21,-30] · Forbidden Inn Guard

   In front of the Forbidden Inn, ask the guard to open the arena doors. A Cybours is hibernating in front of the door, and you have to clear the way without hurting the Modster. He sends you to find a hermit of Plantala who is able to talk to Modsters.

   

3. 3Find the hermit in Plantala Forest

   Movement[25,-34] · Grizzled Hermit

   Enter the ruined temple, go to the room on the right, then go up to the upper room. Talk to the Grizzled Hermit: he can create a flute able to wake any Modster, with 1 Soul Stone for Small Souls and 5 Bambooto Stalk.

   

4. 4Have the flute crafted

   [25,-34] · Grizzled Hermit

   Come back with the resources and give them to the Grizzled Hermit. He crafts the Modster Flute and tunes it. He warns you: the Cybours may wake up in a bad mood, and you will have to fight it without hitting it too much.

   • 1 × Soul Stone for Small Soulsto hand over
   • 5 × Bambooto Stalkto give
   • Modster Flutereceived

5. 5Wake the Cybours

   Dialogue[21,-30] · Sleeping Cybours

   Go back to the Forbidden Inn and talk to the sleeping Cybours to play it a tune on the flute. A fight starts.

   Dialogue

   1. “Keep playing the instrument”

   The fight is done alone.

6. 6Enter the Forbidden Inn

   Movement[21,-30] · Forbidden Inn Guard

   After the fight, talk to the guard again to tell him how you cleared the way. He thanks you and lets you into the Forbidden Inn.

7. 7Face Daimya Hikomi

   Combat[22,-31] · Daimya Hikomi

   Cross the map and go up the stairs to the Arena Portal, which leads to the Pandala arena. Daimya Hikomi offers you a challenge to obtain the Spiritite.

   Dialogue

   1. “Face the Daimya”

   Solo fight against the Daimya and 4 Modsters at 6,500 HP. You only need to eliminate the 4 Modsters.

   

8. 8Receive the sixth Spiritite

   Dialogue[22,-31] · Daimya Hikomi

   Talk to Daimya Hikomi again to get the sixth Spiritite: together with the previous ones, it gives you 30% spell damage, with no time limit. The Daimya asks you to bring the hermit back to the village to offer him a position.

9. 9Listen to Ehne and Jifu

   Dialogue[25,-34] · Ehne

   Go back to see the Grizzled Hermit: Ehne is there and wants to take revenge on him. Talk to Ehne, who tells her story: the hermit is Doctor Jifu, a former beastiologist of the academy. Question Jifu, then listen to Ehne's reply: either you are on her side, or against her.

10. 10Choose a side and fight

    Dialogue[25,-34] · Ehne

    Two choices seem to work: siding with Ehne makes you fight Jifu, the other choice makes you fight Ehne. If you side with Ehne, her Modsters refuse to attack Jifu and other Modsters block your way.

    Dialogue

    1. “Say that you understand her desire for revenge and that you won't stop her”

    Solo fight against Jifu and 6 Modsters at 5,500 HP. You only need to eliminate the 6 Modsters.

11. 11Reason with Ehne and talk to Jifu

    [25,-34] · Jifu

    Talk to Ehne again and explain to her that eliminating Jifu will not heal her from her past: she lets him live. Then talk to Jifu, who refuses the Daimya's offer to remain a wanderer among the Modsters.

12. 12Tell the Daimya of Jifu's decision

    Dialogue[22,-31] · Daimya Hikomi

    Take the Arena Portal again and bring Jifu's answer back to Daimya Hikomi. She wishes you good luck for your final trial.

13. 13Go back to see Osamodas's Emissary

    Dialogue[0,0] · Osamodas's Emissary

    Tell Osamodas's Envoy that you have gathered all the Spiritites. You can now compete for the title of Osamodas champion. The quest ends; continue the conversation to start the next one.
