I'm supposed to brief you on the situation in Basilika Cavern, Player. If you've been there, you'll already know that a long tunnel runs from Blue Quartz Valley to the Gurriki Grotto.

Where the tunnel passes beneath the Eye, it opens up into an enormous cavern. There are powerful Artifacts down there under heavy Balaur guard.

We want to control those artifacts, but they're currently held by the Elyos High Protectors. I want you to go down there and tear the Artifacts from their soft, clawless hands.

Player: Accept.

Returning from Basilika Cavern, triumphant I presume?

Tell me how those Ellies cowered and cried at the point of your blade.

Player: "The Artifacts are in Asmodian hands, Commander."

That's what I wanted to hear.

Holding a dominant position over the Elyos is vital to our ultimate success in Tiamaranta. The more Artifacts we have, the more control we have over the battle.

I will make sure that the higher-ups hear your name, Player.
