Quest List
Abby:
Hmm… The device in the mural is identical to this one. It must be what starts the Rite of Offering.
Abby:
Looks like the young lady's right. We need that lamp to activate this device.
Abby:
The mechanism has been unlocked. It seems we still need to guide the light to the final destination.
Abby:
So we need to remove anything that may get in the light beam's way. Hmm, it looks a bit complex.
Abby:
That giant rock landed by the seaside. Quick! Let's go check it out!
Shicheng:
Wow, so you've completed every step of the ritual already?!
Shicheng:
Is this really it, though? I still feel like something’s missing.
Shicheng:
Rover, could you go back to the cave in Xuanji Ridge? We may have missed some clues there.
Abby:
Looks like the stone fits perfectly into the hole in this device. Use your Levitator to grab it.
Abby:
Oh? This Sonoro Sphere must be where the final step is supposed to take place, then.
Abby:
It's a test of strength, so just beat all the enemies that show up! Piece of cake for you!
Abby:
Phew, finally finished all the ceremonies.
Abby:
Time to head back, buddy. That young lady will be thrilled!
Shicheng:
Rover, do you know how to perform the ritual?
Shicheng:
The nearby mural should give us some clues…
Abby:
Look! There's something engraved on this device!
Abby:
Oh? The food's ready?
Abby:
It smells delicious! Let's feed her, quick! And hey, don't forget to save some for me!
???:
Hmm... Ngh... What is this...
The girl regains consciousness and slowly rises to her feet.
???:
Phew... Thank you. I feel much better now.
???:
I really thought I was going to die here…
Abby:
Had we not ran into you, you'd be Tacet Discord poop by now.
???:
Eek…
Abby:
Well, I'm not trying to! It's a genuine warning!
Abby:
By the way, what is your name?
Shicheng:
Oh! Hi, I'm Shicheng. I live near the entrance of Hongzhen.
Shicheng:
How's Hongzhen now? I haven't been able to get in touch with my family...
Shicheng:
So you're not from Hongzhen?
Shicheng:
Wait, are you from outside Mt. Firmament? That’s weird... I've never heard of any outsider actually reaching our town.
Shicheng:
Could it be the fading strength of our Sentinel causing this?
Abby:
Do you know why that is, then?
Shicheng:
Hmm... Sorry, but I've only heard the Sentinel's condition has been getting worse. If you're curious, you might want to ask around in Hongzhen.
Abby:
Yeah, and we can escort you back home. It's dangerous out here. You might not be so lucky next time you pass out.
Shicheng:
Sorry, but I can't go back yet.
Shicheng:
Actually... I've been trying to do something for the Sentinel since I heard about its deteoriating condition...
Shicheng:
We honor the Sentinel with a special ritual. Uncle Fu used to organize it for us, but he's been unwell in recent years. No one has taken over.
Shicheng:
So this year, I volunteered to be the Flamebearer for the Rite of Offering.
Shicheng:
I know I'm just an ordinary person, and there's probably not much I can do to help...
Shicheng:
But at least I can convey our well-wishes through this ritual. Who knows? It might help the Sentinel recover.
Abby:
It probably won't make a big difference, but...
Abby:
So, how did it go?
Shicheng:
Uh… I've been stuck at the very first step…
Abby:
Huh? Seriously?
Shicheng:
Um, well, Uncle Fu's instructions were just really hard to understand, you know! I was going to ask him again, but he's been extremely unwell lately, so...
Shicheng:
Thank you. I know one thing for sure: this is where the Rite of Offering begins.
Shicheng:
Here, you see this lamp? We need it to perform the ritual.
Abby:
Wow, it's glowing. Looks quite pretty.
Shicheng:
Legend has it that this ritual originated with the arrival of the Sentinel from heaven. But during the wars, it was forgotten.
Shicheng:
We have Uncle Fu to thank for resurrecting this ritual by studying ancient texts.
Shicheng:
This mural is supposed to show the correct procedures, but… Cough cough...
Abby:
She's still too weak… Hey, Shicheng, you better go take some rest in the cave.
Shicheng:
Thank you so much. Then please take this glazed lamp. You'll need it for the ritual.
Shicheng:
I'm heading back to the cave. Please let me know if you find anything. Thank you so much for your help.
???:
(She mumbles weakly.)
Abby:
Her hands are so cold. Oh no.
???:
Cold… Hun-hungry…
Abby:
Seems like she's out cold from hunger and, well, cold. I might not know what cold feels like, but hunger? That's a killer!
Abby:
Let's whip up something for her, shall we?
Abby:
Something delicious, warm, and easy to the stomach!
Abby:
(Abby's stomach growls…)
Abby:
Oh great, now I'm hungry too! Make some more, I'd like some soup too!
Abby:
So, we're all done with the ritual. Time to get you back to Hongzhen.
Shicheng:
Hold on! It's not done yet!
Shicheng:
Yeah, I just found a note left by Uncle Fu. Turns out it was once a simple coming-of-age tradition for the people of Mt. Firmament.
Shicheng:
Only the Flamebearers who passed the trials of wisdom and strength were recognized as adults, proving they could protect the Sentinel and Hongzhen.
Shicheng:
But later, it transformed into a ceremonial activity of blessings and worship.
Shicheng:
The previous trials only tested the Flamebearer's wisdom. The Flamebearer would still need to prove their strength.
Abby:
Strength? That's our specialty!
Shicheng:
Oh, it's time for the final ritual. Rover, please go to this place with the glazed lamp I gave you.
Shicheng:
Rover, what happened? I saw a huge meteor falling down!
You explain the details of the final ritual to Shicheng.
Shicheng:
Thank you, Rover…
Shicheng:
I never realized Uncle Fu has been performing this ritual alone all these years, praying for the Sentinel.
Shicheng:
Hopefully the Sentinel will hear our prayers and get better soon.
Abby:
Let's hope so…
Shicheng:
I've made up my mind. I will help Uncle Fu preserve this tradition and spread awareness about it.
Shicheng:
Alright then, I guess it's time to say goodbye. I’ll stay here a bit longer to organize the records on this ritual.
Shicheng:
Great! We did it!
Shicheng:
*coughing* Sorry, I-I got a bit carried away…
Shicheng:
Uncle Fu said there are a total of five parts of this ritual, and we have to go all over Mt. Firmament for them...
Shicheng:
Uncle Fu didn't give clear hints about where to take the remaining four steps, just some brief clues.
Shicheng:
He said the first is located north of Xuanji Ridge, at the boundary of yellow and white; the second is located south of Hongzhen, where the waterfalls converge.
Shicheng:
The third is located above the Loong's Ridge, at the peak of the arch-shaped rock; and the fourth is located on the southeast side, among the shoals and islands.
Shicheng:
That's all I know. Sorry, but it seems you'll need to figure out the exact locations yourself... I'm counting on you!
Shicheng:
Uncle Fu said there are a total of five steps of this ritual, and we have to go all over Mt. Firmament for them...
Shicheng:
For the remaining four places, Uncle Fu only gave me some brief hints.
Shicheng:
He said the first is located north of Xuanji Ridge, at the boundary of yellow and white; the second is located south of Hongzhen, where the waterfalls converge.
Shicheng:
The third is located on top of the Loong's back, at the peak of the arch-shaped rock; and the fourth is located on the southeast side, among the shoals and islands.
Shicheng:
That's all I know. Sorry, but it seems you'll need to figure out the exact locations yourself... I'm counting on you!
Abby:
Let me see. This should be where the final step takes place. By the look of it, is this... the place called Loong's Crest?
Abby:
Isn't that pole in the mural the one we saw outside of the cave? The pearl has been sent to the top of it, right?
Abby:
We need to align the pearl with its mouth… Alright, I've got the hang of it.
