- CaelidWe only did what was right. Now, can you tell us how to enter Ardus Shrine?
- DioniOf course. Your sincerity and dedication mark you as worthy.
- The true path towards the Shrine can only be opened with the Illusion God's Brazier.
- The Illusion Tree's Essence contains a special energy that, when burned in the brazier, emits smoke that opens the path to Ardus Shrine.
- The true Shrine, no mere illusion.
- Look around the garden. The Illusion Tree's Essence can be found under the lush purple trees.
- PhernosHmm, it seems he is telling the truth. Everyone focus on gathering the Illusion Tree's Essence.
- DioniWhat a harvest! Beautiful, isn't it?
- But yet there's more. A ritual is required to refine and process it.
- Only a handful of the Illusion God's pilgrims know how to do this. Allow me to be of assistance this time.
- Could you help out other pilgrims while I refine the Essence? Many were attacked by spirits before you all arrived.
- It keeps weighing on my mind how we were unable to retrieve the belongings of the dead. Please do so, so that they may rest peacefully.
- DioniThese items look familiar... Our companions will continue their pilgrimage with us, through that which they left behind.
- Thank you so much.
