A few nights ago, a team of civil engineers was kidnapped from here while we slept.

I suspected Lepharists were responsible. Now, it seems that they have also stolen an Artefact from the Outpost Ruins.




That was my thought as well. Obviously, they are forcing the engineers to help construct their base. But perhaps they are using the Artefact for the same purpose....

Whatever their aims, the Lepharists must be stopped. Go to the Lepharist Bastion and rescue the Civil Engineers there.

See what you can discover about the Artefact, as well.


We must escape, before the guards can raise the alarm!

At both sides of this Bastion, there are passages that lead to the outside. The Lepharists don't know about them.

The Secret Exit is near the center. It's a small cave on the western cliff. Alternatively we could escape through the Forgotten Passage in the northernmost part of the base.

Choose quickly!




Did you rescue the Civil Engineers? And what of the Artefact?

Tell me what you saw.


If they are using it to construct their Bastion, the Artefact must have immense power indeed.

No doubt that power could be turned to destruction as well....

We cannot allow them to keep that base.
We need to do something about the artefacts if we want to stop the Lepharists building their base.

But the artefacts have a lot of functions, so first we need to find out how they’re used.

To play it safe, we should completely destroy them.
You can’t just destroy an artefact.

But with aether explosives, which are made from aether, you’ll be able to destroy them.

Here, take this, go to the Kuriullu Outpost and meet Laigas.

He’s been there a long while already and knows a lot about the Lepharist Bastion.

Get Laigas to help you and destroy the Stolen Artefact. I believe in you.
What brings you to me?

Let me know if you need my help.
Ah, so you’ve come to destroy the Stolen Artefact.

Luckily, we’ll stop those guys from continuing to misuse the artefacts.

Since I’ve known that the damn Lepharists are in possession of artefacts, I haven’t been able to sleep properly. But thankfully there’s a way to destroy the artefacts using aether explosives.

I’ll show you where you need to install the explosives.

Look closely.
Have you memorised the position?

The Stolen Artefact can only be destroyed if you attach the explosives exactly here.

There could be several explosions, so come straight back here as soon as the artefact has been destroyed.
You’re back safe and sound.

You could hear the explosion all the way from here.

If the explosion was successful, then the Lepharist Bastion will have sustained heavy damage.
You’ve halted construction at the Lepharist Bastion.

Thanks to your help, we won’t have to worry about the Lepharists for the foreseeable, Player.

That was good work.

Now go and report back to Brigade General Telemachus.
Have the stolen artefacts been destroyed?

I was sure you could do it.

Please, tell me about your mission.
The Lepharists should no longer be a serious threat, then.

I shall report this incident to Sanctum, and send more patrols to mop up the survivors.

Your valour is appreciated, Daeva.
