I've received urgent messages from the Eltnen Aetheric Field Observatory and Sataloca's Tomb. Some kind of warped energy has been detected from Kaidan Headquarters, it seems. Sounds like the Abyss Gate is opening again.

There is no more time to waste. Beritra's army is readying their infiltration with their Ide weapon!

Player: "Uh oh."

They're trying to send the Ide weapon through the Abyss Gate at Kaidan Headquarters. You need to go there straight away.

Oh, and ask Mabangtah for help before you go. Since he doesn't want the Balaur controlling the Krall, he will be glad to help you.

Player: "Got it."

On the other side of the Abyss Gate, you might meet up with more people. I've instructed Daevas to go ahead first if they were able to enter Eltnen Abyss Gate through magic.

Since we don't know the current situation, do as instructed by those who are already there. Good luck.

Player: "Teleport me, I'm ready."

You back. I knew! We stop weapon, I help. Then my people free.

How I help?

Player: "This is what's going on..."

I don't know what happen in Abyss Gate. But I give this. It Mabangtah's Secret Remedy. Eat, and defense really strong!

It not permanent. Eat when really need! Now I send you to Abyss Gate. Succeed for my people too!

Player: "I'm ready. Take me there."

Am I glad to see you! We don't have much time, so this is what you need to know: the weapon does seem to be some sort of bioweapon. The ide inside it is made to be unstable and corrupt, which means it is meant to explode. There's no telling what the results of a blast might bring.

Player: "So do I smash it?"

Close, but not quite. I'm holding back the Balaur, but I can't hold out forever. Also, I can't focus on destroying the gate! If I stop what I'm doing, we'd be overrun.

Keep the Balaur at bay while I cast my spell. Do not let them break my chanting!

When you're ready, I'll remove the seal on the gate.

Player: "I'm ready!"

Thank Lady Ariel! The gate is completely destroyed!

You did well, Player. I'll take you to Brigade General Telemachus so that you can relay the good news.

Player: "Oh, you flatter. Let's go."

So? Did you stop the weapon from entering Atreia? I trust that you did, since I paired you with Kimeia. Right? Tell me I'm right.

Player: "You are right."

Good heavens! Beritra truly is a fearful enemy. A weapon of Ide!

There seems to be no end to these threats. With Tiamat gone, Beritra poses greater dangers. But we will navigate through this. Sanctum will be notified, and defenses will be fortified.

You did well. Sanctum will be told of your deeds.
