Show/hide full text Fraya Serion's control of the Core's energy is slipping. I don't know how much longer he'll last. The last time we lost control of the Core's energy, we devastated half a continent. We need to contain it before that happens.
Fraya ...There are options. I'm considering the situation. But it'll take enormous power to contain the Serion Core. Serion could supply that power if he was under control, but as things stand, we need another power source. Find something-quickly!
The personification of the Core, on the verge of death, was about to lose control of the Core's massive energies. Elleon remembered that Akasha was going to transfer the Core's power to herself, so she constructed a device for exactly that purpose. You, Fraya, and Elleon found the transfer device within the Golden Labyrinth and defeated Akasha's underlings there. Then Fraya sacrificed her mortal self, using the device to become one with the Core and stabilize it.
Elleon Replacement energy—did you just say that?
I tried to stop her, but she is going to do that anyway.
Elleon Who could become the Core? It means sacrificing everything. Like Serion, the next Core will live for Allemantheia forever, neither dead nor alive. Once she's done it, there's no going back.
Elleon Forget I said that.
It's all speculative unless we can get enough energy to move the Core from one body to another. Akasha might have held the key—she wanted the Core's power, so she must have had a power source capable of doing it. Somewhere in the Golden Labyrinth at the heart of the Hungry Caverns. Tell Fraya we're going after it!
Fraya Akasha may be gone, but her minions are still guarding the Golden Labyrinth. Still, some chance is better than no chance at all. , catch up with Elleon, then seize that device.
Fraya Once you've done so, use this token to contact me. Tribune Sophilia will know the safest path into the Golden Labyrinth.
Sophilia Karina's the one who knows how to get you into the Golden Labyrinth. She's waiting for you at Vanguard Post Alpha.
I hope you understand that you're on your own once you get in there.
Karina Elleon told me to expect you, . He told me to ask why he always arrives before you. I think he was kidding....
Anyway, he's not far ahead. Take the elevator to the second level, and go through the north entrance.
Elleon About time, . I've already deactivated the traps, so you can go to the labyrinth entrance. We have scouts inside. Find Runshia. We'll be separated, but I'll check in with her from time to time.
Elleon Your way is too easy. I'm going by another path, just in case we need a quick retreat route.
Elleon Commander Fraya's token...right.
Contact her when we seize the Core transfer device...got it.
Oh, I see. You're giving me this to make sure I show up where I'm supposed to, rather than wandering off...very clever, . You know me too well.
Runshia We haven't reached the Core transfer device yet, but we have a good idea of where it is. In the meantime, you have an urgent summons.
No, from Jelena, not Elleon. She's fighting her way through the Chamber of Trials, and she needs your help.
Jelena Something is disturbing Elleon's signal. My guess is that through that chamber, we can join Elleon. To open that chamber we have to first kill the Gatekeeper at the west.
What's worse is that the west side is blocked by the Western Obelisk. I need you to operate it and get rid of the gatekeeper Kumas Demon.
As soon as you take down the gatekeeper, I'll make sure that the door won't close. Who knows what kind of traps those gulas planted.
We need to catch up with Elleon. he looked very exhausted.
Jelena That's one down! But we still have a lot to go for the Core.
There must be a Gatekeeper with a key...Whatever. Let's just kill all the monsters where a chamber is open. Who knows if that will open the door.
Vulcanus was the one bothering our signal. Take the thing down and I'll send you Elleon's location.
Elleon I'm glad to see you're alright. I tried to sneak in but Akasha's minions found me. I was injured while running awa...urgh!
Elleon The poison is...I can barely walk straight. Go on without me, !
Get to the device!
Elleon Head east to the Chamber of the Wild. Find the west teleportal. That should take you inside.
The transfer device should be in there. There are bound to be lots of guards. I overheard the names Varcerbus and Valgmore. Be careful!
Elleon We have the device! Let's contact Fraya before something else goes wrong.
Elleon Fraya must have gone back to Castanica. We should follow. She wouldn't have left without good reason. Take your time. I'll be waiting outside.
Elleon She's always sacrificing herself for Allemantheia...
Anyway, now that Fraya has the power of the Core, Allemantheia is safe.
Elleon I'm trying to. I ran away so I could avoid becoming commander. What could I say?
The one who's sacrificing herself is happy. She was ready for this.
Take this. Let's go back to Castanica now.
Elleon A flawless victory!
Now that Fraya has become the new core, the evil god's ambition will take place no more.
Fraya wishes to thank you.
Fraya I...no—more than I. More than Fraya. This will take time, practice. How Serion must have struggled...I must return to Allemantheia soon. Thank you, , for all you've done.
Fraya The Core must be beyond petty concerns, but...I cannot forget Kaidun. Beware, Akasha and Thulsa...this Core remembers, knows what she's sacrificed for.
, I want you to take this. Ask Elleon if there is any replacement energy that can handle the Core. Relate Elleon's message to Fraya in Castanica. Bring Fraya's request to Sophilia, the Tribune of Castanica. Deliver Sophilia's orders to Officer Karina at Avenger Outpost. [Use the Teleportal to go to Avenger Outpost.] Go to Elleon near Avenger Outpost in the northwestern corner of the Hungry Caverns. [Speak with Tadan to go to Hungry Caverns Catacombs.] Enter the Golden Labyrinth through the area near the closed door and speak with Runshia. [You must select Golden Labyrinth (Solo) from the Teleportal to advance this quest.] Speak with Jelena who's been scouting the area. Use the western obelisk to open the gate, then eliminate Berylheart. Source: Berylheart Return to Jelena. Eliminate all the monsters past the Chamber of Trial and make your way through. Source: Gulsig You have located Elleon. Go to Elleon and speak with him. Speak with Elleon and start protecting him. Speak with Elleon again. Protect the teleportal in the Chamber of the Wild and eliminate Valgmore and Varcerbus. Source: Varcerbus Valgmore Report to Elleon at the Chamber of the Wild.
