Dialogue[edit]

Approaching the adventure
Phaethon: Please, bring peace to my brothers and sisters. Will you?
Talking to Phaethon
The essences of those who fled tyranny are trapped. I cannot reach them, but perhaps you can? There is scant time before they are lost forever, I fear.
Talk ready option.png I can help you.
Talk end option tango.png Sorry. I'm not able to help right now.
Talking to Phaethon during the adventure
Please, free the essence before the chance escapes us!
Talk ready option.png On it!
Starting the adventure
Phaethon: Many feld imprisoned by our king's wall. Their attempts at escape resulted only in death.
Phaethon: Please, their souls cannot survive long like this—free them as quickly as you can, before their essence succumbs.
Sometimes, upon collecting the fifth essence
  • Phaethon: Finally, free from your prison.
  • Phaethon: I'll sing your memory at Eventide's.
When the adventure ends
Phaethon: Thank you, liberator. You are ferocious, yet you foster tranquility. Your actions echo throughout Nayos.

Victims of the Fog


Friend of Lady Peitha,

Before your arrival, I stood on the edge of the fog, watching helplessly while my own succumbed to its toxicity as they attempted to flee. Now that the fog has lifted, their essence is trapped, and I am unable to help.

I seek someone who can end their suffering. Come find me; your aid is crucial.

Message transcribed by Ward Member Benan.


I wait to the east, high on the cliffs.

Notes[edit]

  • Collecting an essence applies Torment.png Torment, so if you get any other damage, it is possible to get dismounted from your skyscale during the adventure.
  • Avoid the gust from the Kryptis Sweeper since you cannot dash through it.
