Darmand: The pulse of the earth is growing unstable, and the Spirits are restless. My companions went to purify the altar in the hopes of calming them, but...
Darmand: They never returned, and judging by the Spirits' energy, the altar still hasn't been purified.
Darmand: I was about to go see for myself. Would you mind joining me? You would be a great help.
Ulgorn: I'll meet up with Nemon while you head for the Earth Altar. Let's regroup after you finish purifying.
Darmand: Shall we get going, then? It would be a good idea to clear out the area on the way. It will make the journey back much easier, too.

Darmand: The Earth Altar has been purified. This area should be safe for a while now.
Darmand: Thank you once again. Only the Water Altar remains now.
Darmand: I would love to help, but I can't leave the wounded.
Darmand: Follow this path to the Water Altar. Good luck with the purification.
Darmand! Help!
We'll fight with you.
Hold on a little longer!
I'm at my limit...
Hurry! Purify the altar!
Thanks for your help.
Darmand: The Etheria Rift...!
Pilar: Darmand! The rift is opening! We don't have the strength to hold it back ourselves!
Darmand: We must close the rift immediately.
Darmand: The Rift Fissure has fully opened! We have to defeat the Earth Spirits.
Darmand: Another Rift Fissure! Deal with those Earth Spirits coming through!
Darmand: The Rift Fissure is still open. I'll fight alongside you.
Darmand: Spirit Guides! We must focus on the Rift Fissure.
Darmand: It's impossible to hold them all back. We'll have to destroy the Rift Fissure.
Darmand: Please purify the Earth Altar before another Rift Fissure opens up.
Darmand: There you are. Oh? There were toxic auras nearby?
Darmand: It has been spreading quite widely following the Earth Altar's contamination.
Darmand: Thank you for clearing it, but it will be back before long if the Earth Altar isn't purified.
Darmand: We need to hurry.

Nemon: When I arrived at the Water Altar, I found her here, collapsed. Urd confirmed that this is Grisilla.
Nemon: It looks like she was trying to purify the altar on her own but was overwhelmed...
When it is done
"Please purify the Earth Altar before another Rift Fissure opens up." Even the Purifying Forest is not safe from Etheria Rifts. You restored the Earth Altar while the Spirit Guides worked to contain the rifts. The Spirit Guide said that restoring the altar alone would not fully resolve the problem. You need to find Sacred Tree Grisilla, who can cleanse the contamination of the Sacred Tree. Just then, Nemon found Grisilla collapsed at the Water Altar.
