The 19 quest steps

1. 1Talk to Draconiros

   Dialogue · Draconiros

   Enter the dream of the dream crucible, in the Infinite Dreams, by talking to Draconiros, then talk to him in his dragon form. The horsemen glimpsed in the smoke have already appeared in a dream lost in time: he sends you to the sunken temple of the Eliotropes, whose library will teach you more.

   Dialogue

   1. “Ask him for his opinion on the identity of the figures glimpsed in the crucible's smoke”

2. 2Talk to Aurelia at the Eliotrope temple

   Dialogue[16,32] · Aurelia

   The fastest way: the portal to the right of the Sufokia zaap, at [14,26]. Aurelia agrees to let you consult the library, but warns that the writings take a long time to decipher. Enga Egrab, whose perception of the dream world was exceptional, wrote translucent pages with always accurate predictions; but these texts tend to vanish from memory.

   Dialogue

   1. “Say that you would like to consult the library documents”

3. 3Examine the library documents

   [17,32]

   Go right to enter the temple library. Click the notes at the bottom right, then at the bottom left: they are prophecies by Enga Egrab, the second one cannot be read in full. Then read the two new papers lying on the tables in the room.

4. 4Reread the notes on the left

   [17,32]

   Click again on the notes on the left: a fight starts, solo. After the victory, click the same notes again to read them: the document is illegible.

   The monster reflects rank 6 spells every turn (Painful Memory): hit it with your weapon. If you are within 4 range or less of it on its turn, Call of Darkness summons a Shadowblivion that kills you as soon as it plays: prefer a ranged weapon, or move away after each weapon hit. Shadowy Unease removes 1 to 2 range for 3 turns and poisons for 31 to 38 Neutral (41 to 48 on a critical hit) for 3 turns, stackable but dispellable.

5. 5Explain the problem to Aurelia

   Dialogue[16,32] · Aurelia

   Go back to the left. Some Owls are working to preserve Eliotrope writings: they are the ones who can help you decipher the document.

   Dialogue

   1. “Explain your problem with the Eliotrope document”

6. 6Ask Doctor Hoo for help

   Dialogue[20,25] · Doctor Hoo

   In the Sufokia library, Doctor Hoo is trying to transcribe the writings of the God-King's library onto other media. He has created a special ink, which only Master Novowl, a specialist in ancient books, would know how to use properly.

   Dialogue

   1. “Greet the doctor and ask for his help”

   

7. 7Defend Master Novowl

   Combat[21,-27] · Aggressive Eliotrope

   In front of the Pandala library, the Archiduk is surrounded by aggressive Eliotropes. Talk to one of them to defend the owl: solo fight against 3 Eliotropes.

   • Aggressive Eliotropefight · levels 60 to 200 · 930 to 5,500 HP · 12 AP · 6 MP

   

8. 8Talk to Master Novowl

   Dialogue[21,-27] · Master Novowl

   Some Eliotrope disciples refuse to let the Owls dig through the memory of their creator, despite Aurelia's approval. Novowl agrees to transcribe your notes with a special formula and Hoo's ink: you have to bring 3 Old Pumice Stone and 1 Anchoring Ink, in the order of your choice.

9. 9Craft the Anchoring Ink

   Crafting

   You must be an Alchemist of level 20 or higher. Recipe: 10 Sage, 2 Seasonal Pebble, 8 Coal, 4 Drinking Water and 2 Oilbow Grease.

   The cooperative workshop does not work for this ink: craft it yourself.

   • 2 × Seasonal Pebbleto hand over
   • 8 × Coalto give
   • 4 × Drinking Waterto hand over
   • 2 × Oilbow Greaseto give

10. 10Defeat 3 Old Porous Cracklers

    Combat[-6,-8] [-3,-6] [-2,-6]

    In Crackler Mountain, talk to the Old Porous Crackler on each of the three maps to fight it, solo. Each victory automatically gives an Old Pumice Stone.

    • Old Porous Cracklerfight · levels 60 to 200 · 1,500 to 8,800 HP · 8 AP · 5 MP
    • Old Pumice Stonereceived

11. 11Bring the stones back to Master Novowl

    Items[17,32] · Master Novowl

    Go back to the Eliotrope temple, through the portal to the right of the Sufokia zaap at [14,26], and enter the room on the right. Hand the pumice stones over to Master Novowl.

    • 3 × Old Pumice Stoneto hand over

12. 12Assist the bibliomancy spell

    Dialogue[17,32] · Master Novowl

    Talk to Novowl again: he casts his spell and asks you to repeat what he says or do what he indicates. Here are the right answers, in order.

    Dialogue

    1. “Unroll the scroll from left to right”
    2. “Etsespmilap tircsnarter”
    3. “Erussicrion elibélédni”
    4. “Gnilaever yhpargillac”
    5. “Turn to the left”
    6. “Roll up from right to left”

    The right answers are not always displayed in the same position: read each option, as similar-looking formulas differ by only a few letters.

    • 1 × Anchoring Inkto hand over

13. 13Read the transcription of the prophecy

    The spell worked: you finally read the rest of the notes. The Eliocalypse brought about by the four Horsemen will upend the Kontinuum and lead to the end of the World of Twelve.

14. 14Talk to Maysial

    Dialogue[17,32] · Maysial

    Maysial has just appeared. A member of the Watchers, who protect the Kontinuum, she has noticed unforeseen events during her time travels, recorded only in Enga Egrab's prophecies. Martalo has opened a passage to the future, where the problem is believed to lie: she asks you to join her.

15. 15Join Maysial at the Arch of Vili

    Movement[15,-20] · Maysial

    In [10,-19], enter the mine, go straight ahead for two maps, then enter the rift on the left. You arrive in the depths of Astrub, at the Arch of Vili: Maysial tells you that this zaap is one of the first ones built on the World of Twelve.

    The Depths of Astrub (Arch of Vili) zaap is now saved: you will be able to come back to it from any zaap. It normally appears in second-to-last position in the list.

16. 16Go through the Arch of Vili

    Movement[15,-20]

    Use the zaap to travel through time: you are teleported to the Eliocalypse's Sanctuary of Last Hope. Go right twice.

    Dialogue

    1. “Travel through time”

17. 17Talk to Martalo

    Dialogue[15,-20] · Martalo

    Martalo opened this passage with Entropix's help. You are in the future: the Eliocalypse has happened and the World of Twelve is largely submerged. Heroes gathered here to put an end to it and failed; while he talks with Maysial, he asks you to consult a book in the library.

18. 18Read the sanctuary's manuscript

    [15,-20]

    Go right and click the book on the right. It presents the eight council members who opposed the four Horsemen: Frida Mofette, the Duke of Amakna, Allisterine, Denn Kratz, Krâ Kleure, Kysaor, Pandora and a dragon of unknown name.

19. 19Go back to Martalo

    Dialogue[15,-20] · Martalo

    Go back to the left. The Duke of Amakna, Denn Kratz and Kysaor are certainly dead; Martalo thinks the other five were killed or captured, and that Pandora must be dead, otherwise he would sense her presence. The quest ends.

    Dialogue

    1. “Say that you have read the document presenting the council and its fight against the Horsemen”
