You have perfect timing. I've been looking for a Daeva I can trust, and I know you've got a strong sense of justice.

Not so long ago, the Guardians took me in for questioning. Apparently I'd been accused of having dirty dealings with the Shulacks.




It seems they've been using the power of Stigma. Since I'm the preeminent Stigma Master in Sanctum, someone thought I might have some connection.

Naturally I was exonerated, but I had to wonder where they heard these rumours. It seems Xenophon brought up the idea.

Could you talk to him and sort this out?


Thank you for doing this for me. I don't think I could speak to Xenophon and keep my temper.

He's nearly ruined my reputation.




Hm? What is it?






Ah, the Shulack Stigma matter? It was only natural that she should be questioned.

I hardly meant to imply that she had been supplying the Shulacks. But she does have the expertise....

If you're looking to clear her name, I suppose you could pick up the investigation yourself, Player. Koruchinerk's the little fellow who first brought this intelligence to light. Why don't you start with him?




What? What!? Stop looking at Koruchinerk like that.










Of course! Koruchinerk would be happy to help! And Daeva would be happy to do something for Koruchinerk first, yes?

Koruchinerk wants a big, sparkly Drana Crystal with enough explosive energy to kill a giant three-headed mutant Brax! Akakakakakak!

Did Koruchinerk mention Shulacks have it? Engineer Lahulahu keeps them in Strongbox[pl:"Strongboxes"]. Please won't you bring me one, Daeva? Pleeeeeaase?






Daeva has Koruchinerk's Drana Crystal? Yes? Nyerk?




Here, Daeva! Stigma Koruchinerk pried from cold, dead paws of Shulack I met once. A little gnawed-on, but still useful, yes? Akakak!




Amazing! You won’t believe what I’ve found out!

First of all, there’s more than one Stigma. I don’t mean there’s two Stigmas, but that there’s a clump made up of a medium that allows the use of two Stigmas.

When the two are viewed separately, the part that is assumed to be a Stigma is different from an ordinary Stigma. This is a Greater Stigma whose usage was previously unknown!

I’ve done a lot of research to be able to use a Greater Stigma, but there have been no new findings for a long time now. However, if we use this medium, it is possible to equip it.

As the Stigma piece is badly damaged, it cannot be used, but luckily the medium is intact. Can I try it out on you? You should start reaping the benefits immediately.

(Miriya seemed to buzz and you noticed a sudden change in your body.)

All done. Please check if you have received an additional Stigma slot.
