Objectives
Help Zosime retrieve Korinna's Allaying Crook.
- Bell of Remembrance rung (Optional)
[Korinna's Allaying Crook]
Description
I'm still new and haven't passed all of my Aspirant tests. But, I have an idea.
There is an artifact called Korinna's Allaying Crook. Korinna was a powerful Ascended who tamed the creatures of Bastion eons ago. Her staff has the power to prevent more creatures from succumbing to a savage, anima-starved state.
However, the artifact is protected and only one with great courage can retrieve it. I bet you could, <name>.
Go on ahead. The staff is in the reliquary to the north. I'll join you there shortly.
Rewards
You will receive:
- 35 80 20
- 8,500 XP
- +100 reputation with The Ascended
Progress
Were you able to retrieve the crook?
Completion
I told you she can be quite the troublemaker. Ugh, Kala!
Notes
- On accept
- Zosime says: When you get in there, ring the vesper... the bell. Hopefully, Korinna will appear and tell us what next to do.
- Zosime says: You go ahead. I need to calm Kala down. Now she's too excited because she HAS her playthings.
Go north to Korinna's Reliquary and activate the Vesper of Remembrance.
- Activating the vesper
- Memory of Korinna says: Courage calls. Ah, Zosime. You come to retrieve the crook.
- Zosime says: Ascended Korinna! I am glad you are here. What must we do?
- Memory of Korinna says: Channel all of your anima into the staff, child. This is a test of your courage and hope.
- Zosime says: Okay, I can do this, but it could attract many of the remaining anima-starved out there. Prepare yourself, <name>.
- Memory of Korinna says: When you find success within, I will return.
Two Anima-Starved Wyrms fly into the chamber
Once dealt with, they're followed by three Anima-Starved Cloudfeathers.
Finally Vyrm the Ravenous enters the reliquary.
As the barrier is brought low, Kala swoops in and grabs the crook, only to fly off.
- Zosime says: Kala! No! Drop it!
- Zosime says: She must think it's her chewing stick!

Alpha version
- Name: Fetch the Staff.
- Description
If we are to remedy this situation I am going to need assistance.
There is an artifact held here which will prevent more creatures succumbing to this savage state.
My plan is to retrieve the artifact and restore peace to this small corner of Bastion. However, I will need your help.
Go on ahead, the artifact rests in a small cavern directly north of here. I'll join you shortly.
- Progress
Did you retrieve it?
- Notes
Chamber Incense Burner was there.
- Zosime says: I am glad you are here. This barrier must be brought down, but I will have to channel enough anima to do so.
- Zosime says: This could attract lots of attention from the local wildlife. Prepare yourself.
