Ecco: There's a place called Krao Cave that recently appeared. Ever since, it's been drawing in nearby Forest Essence.
Ecco: If the spirits cannot use their powers, the forest will never recover.
Ecco: Please enter Krao Cave and defeat Berk.
Nemon: Berk... What's that?
Ecco: It's a combat-type test subject created long ago by the Lepharist.
Ecco: It was sealed in Krao Cave, but it gradually evolved since then by repeatedly dividing and merging while feeding on Krao ore.
Nemon: I see... It sounds difficult to face alone...
Nemon: ‹your name›. Can you go explore Krao Cave while we prepare for leaving?
Ecco: I'll show you the way. Meet me at the cave entrance.
Step 2 · 3 lines
Ecco: This is Krao Cave.
Ecco: Krao ore is said to repel external forces, so it makes no sense why Forest Essence is being drawn inside.
Ecco: I trust you'll find a solution. I'll be waiting at Odar's Shade.

Nemon: Did you resolve the issue with the cave?
Nemon: A mineral that repels external forces... What a strange cave.
Nemon: It can't have been easy dealing with so many unfamiliar creatures.
Ecco: Oh, you're back. What happened at the cave?
Ecco: Oh, that's such a relief! Now the forest will be able to heal even faster.
Nemon: Can we head to Uruthumheim now? We need to find Urd and the Nornir quickly.
Ecco: Thank you. I will never forget this favor.
Nemon: Let's hurry to Uruthumheim.
When it is done
"A mineral that repels external forces... What a strange cave." Ecco asked you to investigate the disturbance in Krao Cave, where the flow of Forest Essence was being drained. Inside the cave, you defeated Test Subject Berk, the one responsible for the disruption. With Berk defeated, the threat within Krao Cave has been eliminated, and the flow of Forest Essence has been restored.
