- Daeva. Can you go explore Krao Cave while we prepare for leaving?
- EccoI'll show you the way. Meet me at the cave entrance.
- EccoThis is Krao Cave.
- Krao ore is said to repel external forces, so it makes no sense why Forest Essence is being drawn inside.

- NemonDid you resolve the issue with the cave?
- A mineral that repels external forces... What a strange cave.
- It can't have been easy dealing with so many unfamiliar creatures.
- EccoOh, you're back. What happened at the cave?
- Oh, that's such a relief! Now the forest will be able to heal even faster.
- NemonCan we head to Uruthumheim now? We need to find Urd and the Nornir quickly.
