Dorian: I'll return to Pilgrim's Rest now. Thank you for your hard work.

Dorian: I wish you the best in your endeavors.

Step 1 · 11 lines

Nestor: You're back. Dorian tells me you even helped finish recording the Monolith's contents. Thank you.

Nestor: Dioni just woke up. You may speak to him now.

Dioni: How shameful... I collapsed after being attacked by spirits.

Dioni: I've heard that you helped protect Pilgrim's Rest, and took care of the barrier as well. Thank you.

Caelid: We only did what was right. Now, can you tell us how to enter Ardus Shrine?

Dioni: Of course. Your sincerity and dedication mark you as worthy.

Dioni: The true path towards the Shrine can only be opened with the Illusion God's Brazier.

Dioni: The Illusion Tree's Essence contains a special energy that, when burned in the brazier, emits smoke that opens the path to Ardus Shrine.

Dioni: The true Shrine, no mere illusion.

Dioni: Look around the garden. The Illusion Tree's Essence can be found under the lush purple trees.

Phernos: Hmm, it seems he is telling the truth. Everyone focus on gathering the Illusion Tree's Essence.

Step 3 · 5 lines

Dioni: What a harvest! Beautiful, isn't it?

Dioni: But yet there's more. A ritual is required to refine and process it.

Dioni: Only a handful of the Illusion God's pilgrims know how to do this. Allow me to be of assistance this time.

Dioni: Could you help out other pilgrims while I refine the Essence? Many were attacked by spirits before you all arrived.

Dioni: It keeps weighing on my mind how we were unable to retrieve the belongings of the dead. Please do so, so that they may rest peacefully.

Turning in · 2 lines

Dioni: These items look familiar... Our companions will continue their pilgrimage with us, through that which they left behind.

Dioni: Thank you so much.

When it is done

"Your sincerity and dedication mark you as worthy." You sent the scattered pilgrims back to Pilgrim's Rest and returned there yourself, where you learned Dioni had regained consciousness. Dioni expressed deep gratitude for your efforts in sealing the rift and agreed to help open the path to Ardus Shrine. The path to Ardus Shrine is said to be revealed by the Illusion God's Braziers. You gathered the essence to be offered to the braziers and helped the pilgrims while it was being prepared.
