Paitos: I-It's an honor to meet you! Ah, let me brief you on the local situation.
Paitos: The way to the Shrine is blocked at the moment! There are hordes of Temple Guardians and Spirits all over the garden!
Luteros: Just like Verteron Marsh...
Caelid: We'll have to take care of that first.
Phernos: Is there someone who knows more about the Shrine and the Spirits?
Paitos: There are some pilgrims staying nearby. Meeting with them might prove helpful.

Dioni: What brings you here? You don't look like pilgrims.
Caelid: We're looking for Ardus Shrine.
Dioni: Ardus Shrine exists, but it's not always open to entry.
Dioni: Even if you can see it, only the worthy may enter, and only then after following the proper procedures.
Dioni: However, with the garden in such chaos, the shrine only has all the more reason not to let you pass.
Caelid: We must first calm the garden, then. We'll begin by taking care of the rifts.
Nestor: You're planning to close the rifts and stop the spirits?
Nestor: Those poor things. They're truly primal spirits, summoned by the Illusion God himself many eons ago.
Nestor: With nobody to follow, they've been taken over by the rift aura. Now, they're no different from any other monsters...
Nestor: We're trying our best to clear up this situation. Sister Anteia has gone deep within the garden to try to stop the spirits.
Nestor: I'm worried she might've taken on too much of a burden by herself. Can you please go see if she's alright?
Nestor: Let us pray together, for our Lord's return, and an end to this chaos.

Anteia: Who are you? You don't look like a pilgrim. What brings you to this dangerous place?
Anteia: Nestor sent you? *sigh* I'm sorry you've been dragged into our mess.
Anteia: But I can't go back yet. It's still as bad here as it's ever been.
Anteia: I may not have much strength, but I can't sit by and watch things get worse.
Anteia: Seeker of the Shrine. You may not be a pilgrim, but I sense no evil within you. Will you lend us your strength?
Anteia: If we combine our strength, we will be able to pacify the Spirits.

Oh Illusion God, please watch over us.
I offer my blood and bones, so that this land may carry out your will.

Anteia: The energy has changed. The whispers of the spirits and the rift's tremors have stopped.
When it is done
"However, with the garden in such chaos, the shrine has all the more reason not to let you pass." You reached the Garden of the Illusion God, where Ardus Shrine is located. However, the area was swarming with spirits, which made it impossible to get close to the shrine. You spoke with the pilgrims and learned that you needed to resolve the disturbance in the garden first to enter the shrine. You helped them seal the rifts and calm the spirits.
