Phernos: Unfortunately, there is no record of where the Warding Feather is located.
Phernos: But I would wager there is a high chance it is sealed within Zumion Temple.
Phernos: We still do not know how to get inside, but... We will soon find out after those statues awaken.
Phernos: Try resonating with the statues. Use the Mace of Blessing once they're repaired. Zumion's aura will awaken their memory.
Phernos: We must find the location of Zumion Temple, and how to enter.
Nania: The number of wandering souls is increasing. I tried to hold them back, but I couldn't do it myself.
Nania: And there were remnants of the ancient devices in the area, probably used to guard the temple. Be mindful of them. The last thing we need are interruptions.
Nania: We're almost done, ‹your name›.

Luteros: The statues have been restored, but they haven't reacted yet.
Luteros: Try using the mace to resonate with them.
Luteros: I'll be waiting beside the statue of Estian.
Step 3 · 25 lines
Calliste Statue: I sense... the power of healing... Oh, goodness! It's the Mace of Blessing!
Calliste Statue: We made sure the mace was safely transferred to the relic storage before Zumion Temple collapsed. It had to be protected...
Calliste Statue: Why do you now wield it? Please return it to the relic storage posthaste.
Calliste Statue: The mace must stay with the Warding Feather.
Calliste Statue: Rireve... Rireve... Combine the separated incantations to open the temple gates...
Agathon Statue: The aura of healing... It has been eons since my mind felt so clear.
Agathon Statue: Under the circle of purification, we became one... and the power was made whole by our rites and incantations.
Agathon Statue: Should you seek to enter the temple, you must recite the holy words to prove you carry out the sacred will.
Agathon Statue: The language of purification, created in Zumion's name. Resielle... Resielle!
Agathon Statue: Cry out with all your heart during the ritual. If your words can reach Zumion, the path will be opened.
Estian Statue: That was a long dream... Who are you all?
Estian Statue: Is that... Zumion's mace?!
Estian Statue: Are you pilgrims? What happened to Zumion?
Luteros: Zumion most likely returned to Odyle... And we are... returning her holy relic to the temple.
Estian Statue: You wish to enter the temple to return the mace?
Estian Statue: Yes... Zumion Temple was attacked by Meslamtaeda... We were all submerged...
Estian Statue: Is Meslamtaeda's blood still safely sealed away?
Luteros: Yes... for now.
Estian Statue: The mace must be returned to the Zumion relic storage. The storage entrance is hidden below Zumion Temple.
Estian Statue: The gate is hidden to keep intruders out. But the purification circle will open the temple's gate.
Estian Statue: Stand inside the purification circle and recite the incantation while holding the mace. Rireve, Resielle, Mentercis...
Luteros: Is that the password to enter the temple?
Estian Statue: That is right. Pilgrims, I entrust the holy relic to you.
Estian Statue: Another holy relic of Zumion, the Warding Feather, is within the relic storage. Ensure the mace is placed beside it.
Estian Statue: Do not touch any other holy relics within the temple. If you do, you will need to prove yourself.
Step 4 · 2 lines
Luteros: I never expected we'd actually be able to communicate with the statues. Incredible...
Luteros: Let's hurry back. The others will be surprised to hear what we found.

Phernos: You have returned. Did the statues respond?
Nania: Did you learn where the Warding Feather is?
Luteros: Inside the relic storage. Hidden below Zumion Temple. We still need to find the exact location, though.
When it is done
"Pilgrims, I entrust the holy relic to you." The Warding Feather is likely sealed inside Zumion Temple, and Zumion's Priests can tell you the precise location. You approached the fully restored statues and used Zumion's Mace to resonate with them. The statues finally awakened in full clarity. The three statue priests revealed the temple's location and the incantation to open it, entrusting you to return the holy relic to its rightful place.
