Quest List
Zani:
It's the same Echo boat we were on earlier... Was it also attracted by Lorelei's singing?
Noah:
*A gentle cry*
Rover:
It's called Noah.
Zani:
Noah... Well, I can't understand what it's saying, but it's a perfect timing. We can have it take us to Averardo Vault.
Abby:
That's a really big waterfall... Is there no way up?
Noah:
*An expressive cry*
Abby:
Whoa, really? You can take us upstream?
Noah:
*A cry of certainty*
Zani:
Averardo Vault is just up ahead. It seems this is where we part ways, Noah.
Noah:
*A cry of understanding*
Zani:
I'm sure it can find its way back to the harbor. Don't worry. Now, we just need to follow this path to reach the vault. Let's go.
Gate Keeper:
Welcome to Averardo Vault. Do you have an appointment?
Zani:
My name is Zani. I'm an employee of the bank. Here's my ID.
Gate Keeper:
Ah, this invitation… My apologies. Welcome to Averardo Vault. How may we assist you today?
Zani:
We're not here on business. We've come to brief the family on the Echo incident from the recent Carnevale rehearsal.
Gate Keeper:
I'll arrange that immediately. Please proceed to the main entrance. A staff member will greet you there.
You are stopped by Echo guards at the outer part of Averardo Vault. Just as tensions rise, the noble lady you met before shows up, commanding the guards to stand down.
She formally introduces herself as Carlotta Montelli, the second daughter of Montelli.
Rover:
These Echoes... Are they guarding the vault?
Zani:
Yes. But I've never seen them in action before. The "Averardo Bank Employee Manual" says they can easily take out a whole squad of Resonators.
Zani:
Of course, this doesn't apply to someone powerful like you, Rover. Still, their combat skills are formidable. Their mere presence is enough to make everyone feel safe.
Zani:
This facility houses nearly half of Rinascita's wealth. It serves all of Ragunna's citizens, even including the Fisalias.
Zani:
Despite our feud, no one in Ragunna can refuse the services of Averardo Vault.
Zani:
What the... I thought they only responded to hostility!
Zani:
Steady now. Don't move. It's on high alert but won't attack unless provoked. At least, that's what the Employee Manual says!
???:
Stand down.
???:
I apologize for the small mishap on behalf of the Montelli Family. And...
???:
What a pleasant surprise to see you again so soon.
Rover:
And you.
???:
Yet your expression betrays no surprise, Rover.
Carlotta:
Allow me to properly introduce myself. My name is Carlotta, Carlotta Montelli.
Zani:
Montelli… You are the…
Carlotta:
The second daughter of the Montelli Family, yes. Please feel free to call me Carlotta.
Carlotta:
Also, I trust the renumeration meets your satisfaction, Ms. Zani?
Zani:
It was you who tasked me with receiving Rover?
Carlotta:
Surely a distinguished guest such as Rover deserves the attention of our most trusted employee.
Carlotta:
I'm aware of your purpose here. On behalf of my family, allow me to extend our deepest gratitude for your endeavors.
Carlotta:
Your eyes show curiosity about me and my role in this… drama. However, this isn't the place for such discussions. Please follow me.
Carlotta:
Please accept my apologies, Rover, for withholding my true identity before.
Carlotta:
Rinascita's affairs have grown… intricate. The Fisalia family, the Order of the Deep…
Carlotta:
You've likely noticed that many desire the Carnevale to fail. We Montellis, having tied our future to its success, became their target.
Carlotta:
…But, let's not dwell on that for now.
Carlotta:
Here we are. Welcome to Averardo Vault—the Montellis' heart and glory.
At the site, you're forced to subdue the rampaging Echo guards by force.
Carlotta:
Make it quick and clean.
Zani:
Copy that.
After defeating the Echo guard, Carlotta asks Zani to handle the cleanup.
You both head quickly to the tower ruins.
Carlotta:
Ms. Zani, do you mind handling the cleanup? I'm sorry. I just promised you a vacation... but looks like it will have to wait.
Zani:
Oh it's fine. Just a bit of extra work. I can't stand by and watch my colleagues getting hurt.
Zani:
Besides, you have bigger things to worry about. Just let me handle this.
Zani:
Yeah, yeah… That's the burden of being good at my job.
Carlotta:
There's more to this attack than it seems.
Rover:
The Order must have been behind it, right?
Carlotta:
Yes. At this juncture, neither the Fractsidus nor the Fisalias have any reason to interfere. It's some hidden truth about the Order the Sentinel is leading us towards.
Carlotta:
The traitors must be watching us, knowing truth is on the verge of revelation.
Carlotta:
I have a feeling that whatever's coming next… will not be easy.
Arriving at the tower ruins, you find shattered stained glass telling the Sentinel's legend and the Order's founding by the first Primus.
An ancient stone tablet stands nearby, waiting to be deciphered.
Carlotta:
This is where my family first found the Vitreum Dancer.
Carlotta:
What do you see in the shattered stained glass?
Carlotta:
This seems to chronicle a legend of the Sentinel and the tale of how the first Primus founded the Order.
Carlotta:
I've learned of this history before but many details have faded over time.
Carlotta:
Well, art investment is one of our family's key ventures, so I've naturally picked up a thing or two along the way.
Carlotta:
There is a stone tablet over there. It might offer some clues about these stained glass images.
Carlotta successfully deciphers the prophecy inscribed on the stone tablet.
To fully understand it, you may need to piece together the information from the tablet and the stained glass.
Carlotta:
This ancient stone tablet bears inscriptions in the ancient Rinascita language.
Carlotta:
Which translate roughly to…
Carlotta:
…Once whole, the Divinity was rent by warring creeds. From Their holy wounds sprang the curse of Dark Tide.
Carlotta:
…On this day shall I depart. Though the woes of Rinascita yet endure, the shattered Divinity hath chosen Their herald.
Carlotta:
…On the grandest of days, the maiden, crowned with golden laurel, shall commune with the Divinity. Thus she becomes the prophesied "Enlightened One," through whom Rinascita's woes shall end.
Carlotta:
It seems to be some sort of prophecy… We might have to piece together the clues from both the stone tablet and the stained glass to unravel the secrets.
Carlotta:
These ancient relics that spawn Tacet Discords often carry special frequencies—likely the key to restoring them.
Carlotta:
Let's use the Terminal's Sensor to reconstruct their frequencies and align them with the tablet's inscriptions.
Carlotta:
The frequencies of these pieces have been reconstructed.
Carlotta:
Now we only need to assemble them onto the stained glass. The last step to the secrets.
You restore the frequencies of the stained glass using your Sensor.
With that, Carlotta tells you a legend about Rinascita's divinity.
Carlotta:
It's done. Now let's see…
Carlotta:
Looks like these stained glass images recount a tale about the Divinity. Wait...
Rover:
What is it?
Carlotta:
It's just... the content is rather peculiar. I'll translate it for you.
Carlotta:
Together with the inscriptions on the tablet,
Carlotta:
it should be…
Carlotta:
In the earliest days of Rinascita,
Carlotta:
there were two divinities.
Carlotta:
One rules the sky and the other the seas,
Carlotta:
eternally at odds with each other.
Carlotta:
Amidst the turmoil they wrought, Rinascita evolved.
Carlotta:
In those times of legend…
Carlotta:
People waged war
Carlotta:
over their disparate faiths.
Carlotta:
All this was ended
Carlotta:
by an unprecedented TD outbreak.
Carlotta:
The Dark Tide—so was it known.
Carlotta:
It ravaged a great part of Rinascita.
Carlotta:
After the Dark Tide,
Carlotta:
Napoli, the first Primus, restored civilization from the ashes.
Carlotta:
He founded the Order
Carlotta:
To guide the broken Ragunna.
Carlotta:
Yet, not long after,
Carlotta:
He went to be with the Divinity.
Carlotta:
On his deathbed,
Carlotta:
he spoke to the believers,
Carlotta:
"Once whole, the Divinity was rent by warring creeds."
Carlotta:
From Their holy wounds,
Carlotta:
Sprang the curse of Dark Tide.
Carlotta:
Though the woes of Rinascita yet endure,
Carlotta:
The shattered Divinity hath chosen Their herald.
Carlotta:
On the grandest of days, the maiden,
Carlotta:
Crowned with golden laurel, shall commune with the Divinity.
Carlotta:
Thus she becomes the prophesied "Enlightened One,"
Carlotta:
Through whom Rinascita's woes shall end.
Carlotta:
Then,
Carlotta:
the Divnity shall return to its true form,
Carlotta:
and Rinascita, under its glory,
Carlotta:
shall be a paradise free of suffering.
Carlotta is stunned by the revelation: the legend speaks of two divinities in Rinascita, with the Enlightened One depicted as a young girl—a sharp contrast to the Order's teachings. She suspects the Order destroyed these ruins to conceal this truth. She hints that another secret lies on a northern island, but before she can elaborate, the Order's pursuers arrive.
Carlotta:
Rinascita has two divinities? I've never heard of such a thing.
Carlotta:
The Montelli family archives hold many documents on Rinascita's past, yet none mentioned two divinities.
Carlotta:
In Ragunna, the common belief has always been that Sentinel Imperator is the only divinity of Rinascita.
Carlotta:
But if the images on the stained glass windows were fabricated, why would the Order deface them and declare this tower forbidden?
Rover:
There's only one explanation. These are not fabrications but buried truth.
Carlotta:
If this is indeed the Order's doing... we must leave here immediately.
Carlotta:
North of this tower is an island.
Carlotta:
It should be beyond their reach. Once we get there, you will discover another truth the Order has buried—
Rover:
Watch out!
Carlotta:
…Interesting, they're here even faster than I anticipated.
Carlotta:
Keep it safe. I'll handle the rest.
Carlotta:
Speak, who gave you the order?
Carlotta swiftly defeats the pursuers and tries to pry out more information, but Priest Alessio soon arrives with reinforcements.
Carlotta:
Look at what you have done, distorting history, usurping the Sentinel's authority, and... colluding with wretches.
Carlotta:
Who are your accomplices? The Fractsidus, the Fisalias, and even some of the Montellis, am I right?
Order Envoy:
Ahem… I'm afraid I don't understand, Miss Carlotta. It seems you too are lost to madness and hallucination…
Order Envoy:
If you find yourself confused and desire the Sentinel's guidance, I would gladly arrange... a personal Pilgrim's Sail for you.
Carlotta:
So this is how you treat those truth-seekers? Banish them in the name of pilgrimage?
???:
—Please, lower your weapon. There is still room for discussion, is there not, Miss Carlotta?
Unable to persuade you to give up, Priest Alessio shows Capollo's pendant—proof of his capture—and uses the family tie to force Carlotta to "make the right choice."
Carlotta quickly forms a silent plan. She pretends to aim her gun at you but instead shoots to dislodge debris, blocking the pursuers and opening an escape route for you.
Now, it's time to head to the northern island and uncover the Order's buried secret.
Priest Alessio:
Stand down. Enough blood has been shed today. Imperator would not revel in senseless sacrifice.
Priest Alessio:
And the Pilgrim's Sail is for the transgressors to seek rebirth, not for you to threaten our friends. Repent for your reckless words.
Order Envoy:
…Forgive me, Brother Alessio.
Priest Alessio:
Ah, honored guest. You have been misinformed, as the truth is not what it seems. My lord Fenrico has arranged your audience with the Sentinel.
Priest Alessio:
Why not hear the Sentinel's wisdom for yourself?
Carlotta:
Of course, if Lord Fenrico is the true "Enlightened One."
Carlotta:
However, the prophecy speaks of a maiden as the "Enlightened One." Is that why you destroyed the stained glass? To pass Fenrico off as the Enlightened One? So he can seize the Sentinel's power and rule Ragunna?
Priest Alessio:
Oh, you stubborn people of little faith. You've surely been tempted by evil and swallowed its lies. Lord Fenrico is the undeniable Enlightened One and will guide us all.
Priest Alessio:
Well, I see no point in debating doctrine with you. Let's move on to a more concrete subject. Now, Miss Carlotta, which one do you think is more important to the Montelli family?
Priest Alessio:
Is it "Profit"…
Priest Alessio:
…or "Bloodline"?
Carlotta:
How… that's… Uncle Capollo's pendant? What did you do to him!
Priest Alessio:
Good question. What did we do indeed? Quite a faithful one he was.
Priest Alessio:
Wouldn't hand over this pendant, the emblem of his faith... but we managed to persuade him.
Priest Alessio:
Whether he should be deemed faithful now depends entirely on your actions. And you know what will become of him if we decide his devotion is weak and unworthy.
Carlotta:
…My actions? What do you want me to do?
Priest Alessio:
Raise your weapon, faithful Carlotta. Choose wisely now… Where shall you aim? Whose heart will taste your bullet?
Priest Alessio:
Good. You are a smart one, Miss Carlotta.
Rover:
…Carlotta?
Carlotta:
I'm sorry. Even though the time we shared was… very memorable.
Priest Alessio:
Excellent. It appears you've made the right choice as any true Ragunnesi would, honoring blood and faith alike.
Priest Alessio:
Pull the trigger. End this transgressor's life. The Sentinel shall host a supreme banquet for you in the high heavens.
Carlotta:
Farewell, and may you meet your friends… where it all ends.
Priest Alessio:
…You've disappointed me, Miss Carlotta.
Carlotta:
There is a saying in Ragunna, even the finest bullet can miss. It was only a mistake.
Priest Alessio:
So be it. I shouldn't question your faith over such a mishap... It is after all insignificant in the grand scheme of the Divinity.
Priest Alessio:
Let us bear witness, to the moment divine wrath descends from the heavens.
Abby:
Whew, that was close… I really thought the bullet was coming for us.
Abby:
So… was it all part of your plan?
Rover:
We were improvising.
Abby:
Then you two sure have great chemistry… Anyway, those bad guys are still after us, so let's get out of here.
Abby:
Didn't Carlotta say something about an island up north? Let's go check it out!
Abby:
Wait, heads up! Something huge's coming at us!
Abby:
Watch its flames! Quick, get to that clearing!
Carlotta:
We're nearly there. That's the tower ruins, our destination.
Zani:
Another waterfall. You sure about this, Noah?
Noah:
*A confident cry*

Tense Artificer:
What? You're saying someone attacked our base?
Bewildered Artificer:
Woman... Jewels... Very strong.
Tense Artificer:
Great. How do I talk to Overclock-fried morons like you?
Tense Artificer:
Well? Are you the only one who made it out?
Bewildered Artificer:
Lord Overseer... Powerful. I... Leave.
Tense Artificer:
No idea what you're talking about. Whatever. I've linked you up. Now, let's bail. The Montellis don't welcome us here.
Bewildered Artificer:
Okay.
Tense Artificer:
Wait... Who are you?
Tense Artificer:
So, the Montellis called in some muscle, huh?
Bewildered Artificer:
No... This is...
Tense Artificer:
Enough. Take 'em out!
Carlotta:
A Wingray. Let's hitch a ride, shall we?
Carlotta:
This seems to depict the people of Rinascita torn into two warring factions.
Carlotta:
This one shows a man in Primus attire, wielding a lantern-shaped relic to dispel shadows and the monsters within.
Carlotta:
The last one seems to depict the moment a girl communes with the Divinity of Rinascita.
Carlotta:
Apparently, the Order believes the images on the stained glass to be real.
Carlotta:
They wouldn't even hesitate to break their façade of neutrality, just to ensure we don't take the secrets out alive.
Young Voice:
...So, the relic... is a sword.
Young Voice:
*Cough* If only... I'd known sooner...
Young Voice:
Curse those monsters... curse the Dark Tide...
Young Voice:
I... will carry on... Teacher's wish... to the very end.
Acolyte Voice:
The explorers have retrieved a sword from the sea of clouds, along with the remains of an Acolyte, likely one lost to the Dark Tide.
Acolyte Voice:
The sword appears to be an artifact passed down by our sages. Judging by its form, it seems crafted not for combat but for Carnevale rituals.
Acolyte Voice:
I suspect it may have once belonged to a Primus. Regrettably, all records of this sword were lost to the Dark Tide.
Acolyte Voice:
In honor of the Acolyte who once safeguarded this relic, we've decided to place it in a small chapel untouched by the sea of clouds.
Acolyte Voice:
The chapel stands beneath the cliffside, near the remnants of the broken bridge. It should be easy to find.
Acolyte Voice:
We've stored the relic in the bell tower, with the hope that future pilgrims will remember and honor its presence here.
Young Voice:
Teacher, the Seminary will soon be engulfed. What should we do?
Mature Voice:
We have to leave… but we can't go without the relic. We can't let it be lost to the sea of clouds.
Mature Voice:
The Seminary is but stone and tile. It can always be rebuilt. My days are numbered, but until my last breath, I will protect the sage's relic, no matter the cost.
Stone Tablet Inscription:
An ancient stone tablet worn by the passage of time. It bears inscriptions in the ancient Rinascita language, faintly legible. A prophecy, perhaps.
Stone Tablet Inscription:
"Once whole... the Divinity was rent by warring creeds..."
Stone Tablet Inscription:
"From Their holy wounds... sprang the curse of Dark Tide..."
Stone Tablet Inscription:
"Though the woes of Rinascita yet endure... the shattered Divinity hath chosen Their herald..."
Stone Tablet Inscription:
"On the grandest of days... the maiden, crowned with golden laurel... shall commune with the Divinity..."
Stone Tablet Inscription:
"Thus she becomes the prophesied 'Enlightened One'... through whom Rinascita's woes shall end..."
Stone Tablet Inscription:
"Then... the Divinity shall return to its true form..."
Stone Tablet Inscription:
"and Rinascita, under its glory... shall be a paradise free of suffering..."

Everyone move! Follow the Averardo Vault Emergency Response Plan!
Actor No. 1:
Prioritize the clients' safety! Stay calm and be professional!
Gate Keeper:
Please proceed to the main entrance. A staff member will greet you there.
Zani:
You have bigger things to worry about. Just let me handle this.
Stained Glass in the Ruins:
This seems to depict the people of Rinascita torn into two warring factions.
Stained Glass in the Ruins:
This one shows a man in Primus attire, wielding a lantern-shaped relic to dispel shadows and the monsters within.
Stained Glass in the Ruins:
