Walkthrough

Fight your way from the main Pact Command site to the Crystal Bloom Camp with Zaeim and Caithe. They and their 5-person Crystal Bloom escort will attack anything nearby, inlcuding hydra and drakes, so it's best to clear out the area ahead of them if you can. Every once in a while, special groups will spawn. Some will be Branded, some will be Shadows. At the end, a random Champion Branded boss spawns with bounty powers.

Dialogue

Starting the mission

Spearmarshal Zaeim: They're ready. And you?

Caithe: Still worried.

Spearmarshal Zaeim: You're doing fine. You're a...natural leader.

Caithe: And you are a terrible liar. All right, everyone; let's go!

After crossing the bridge and beginning to go under Kralkatorrik's tail

Caithe: Huh! Going under his tail is...an interesting tactical decision.

Spearmarshal Zaeim: "Decision" implies that we have a choice. Stay close.

After defeating the group of Branded under the tail

Spearmarshal Zaeim: That's the last of them.

Caithe: For now.

Spearmarshal Zaeim: All the more reason to press on.

At the bridge between Dragon's Causeway and Umbral Battlegrounds

Holo-Bridge Overseer: Aaaand that's passable! Good luck out there!

When enountering a group of Branded

Caithe: More Branded!

Spearmarshal Zaeim: Weapons up!

Spearmarshal Zaeim: Branded!

Caithe: We can't get pinned down here.

Spearmarshal Zaeim: Hold your ground! Everyone, clear them out!

When the Branded are defeated

Caithe: All right, path's clear.

Spearmarshal Zaeim: Good work, everyone. Let's keep moving.

During escort

Spearmarshal Zaeim: This stench...the burning in my eyes... Reminds me of Joko's campaign.

Caithe: This whole land is pain made manifest.

Spearmarshal Zaeim: And we're gonna build a camp here.

Caithe: We're getting close. The site's just up ahead.

Spearmarshal Zaeim: Watch the trees for Branded. You see anything, you know what to do.

Encountering a group of Shadows

Spearmarshal Zaeim: More of those shadow creatures!

Caithe: They still bleed like anything else—right?

Caithe: Look out! Shadows!

Spearmarshal Zaeim: Don't let them surround us!

When the Shadows are defeated

Spearmarshal Zaeim: That's one way to end a nightmare.

Caithe: I pity these things. War is all they know; a nightmare from which they will never wake.

Spearmarshal Zaeim: Those things are awfully persistent.

Caithe: Living nightmares. Straight from the Fissure of Woe.

Spearmarshal Zaeim: Great.

After defeating the Branded boss at the campsite, therefore finishing the event

Caithe: And here we are. Thanks for your help. We'll get the camp back up and running.

Spearmarshal Zaeim: We'll start bolstering our supply chain. If you want to pitch in, every little bit helps.
