You've been inside the Abyssal Splinter a lot, right?

So by now you would have noticed huge fragments of Aether inside, right?

Some of the reports from the investigators inside mention something like that.
Well...I think these Huge Aether Fragments are probably worth a closer look.

See this report? Powerful creatures are guarding these fragments. There must be a reason why.

I assume it's because they're important for maintaining the Abyssal Splinter. Care to help see if my assumption is right, Player?


Excellent. Get rid of these Protectors, and destroy the Huge Fragments of Aether they're guarding. Watch closely and see what happens when you do this.

Oh, and don't worry--doing so shouldn't do anything serious like destabilize the Abyssal Splinter. At least, I'm pretty sure it won't....

At any rate, stay alert.... It might get dangerous in there.
Did you destroy the Huge Aether Fragments as I asked?

I'm curious how it went. Tell me everything!


A scream of rage from deep inside the Abyssal Splinter? Interesting, and unexpected.

I theorize that if you destroy Huge Aether Fragments, it angers the Artefact Protectors quite a lot. That part's not really unexpected, I suppose.

It will be interesting fighting furious Protectors, but now is not the time. The Elyos and Balaur are also after the Artefact, so I think it would be better to leave the fragments alone for now.

Good investigative work, Player. Here's the reward I promised.
