Notes
On accept:
- Polemarch Adrestes says: As we reclaim our sacred grounds, the ascended have resumed training. They will be eager to see the last temple returned to us.
Time for a zone tour. The first stop is the Temple of Purity far to the south. The nearest flight or path anima gateway is Aspirant's Rest. Get close to Eridia, who is unleashing her inner turmoil:
- Vesiphone says: We are losing her! She was Lysonia's soulbind...
- Vesiphone says: She cannot hope to aid us against her in this state. Restore the vespers to stabilize her!
Interact with the three Vespers of Harmony behind her:
- Eridia says: Lysonia... my fault...
- Eridia says: My soulbind... the Maw...
Interact with the third and Eridia stops shedding her turmoil. Speak with her:
- What brings you to these hallowed grounds, Maw Walker?
We need our Watchers' aid in battle.- Eridia says: My Watchers will keep our forces fighting until the day is ours.
- Eridia says: Glory to Vesiphone. Glory to the Archon. Glory to Bastion!
Up next are the Bearers, found at Xandria's Vigil off to the west. An Anima Gateway lands there - the nearest is at Aspirant's Rest. Once there, speak with Apolon:
- Apolon says: You are unworthy!
- Apolon kills a Putrid Shambler.
- If you're here to fight, there's no shortage of necrotic filth to kill.
- We need the Bearers at the Temple of Loyalty.
- Apolon says: We will finish dealing with these monstrosities another day.
- Artemede says: For every Bearer that falls, it shall be on top of ten Forsworn corpses.
- Apolon yells: The call of battle awaits, ascended!
- Artemede says: Onward to victory!
Onward instead to the Eternal Forge, far to the northeast. Anima gateway directly there if that location has been unlocked, else gateway to Hero's Rest, then take a flight path to Sagehaven and run.
At the forge, now filled with friendly units like Strongwing Mechanists and a large number of goliaths (pummelers & bulwarks), praetors (wingblades & skyguards), and phalynx. Approach Sika at the center:
- Sika says: Yes! Yes! Sika always ready!
Speak with her:
- <Name>! Hello! Sika is glad to see you so soo-hoon!
- We need our Centurions in battle.
- Sika says: Ok! Just like practice!
- Sika yells: Time to fight! Follow Sika!
- Sika grabs onto a skyguard and they fly off, with the rest of the troops marching (or flying) behind.
Head west to the Eonian Archives -- likely faster to run than to head south and take the flight path. At the archives, take the transport pad to reach the center island:
- Thenios says: Pelagos came seeking to gather the Collectors to aid your task, but was consumed by doubt of the battle to come.
- Thenios says: We will need his skills on the battlefield. You must help him overcome this!
Pelagos is on his hands and knees before a soul mirror. Speak with him:
- I'm... not sure if I can do this...
- I am with you.
- Pelagos says: Not strong enough... not... good enough...
- Pelagos' doubt manifests itself as Pelagos Shadeweaver, a mirror of Pelagos in ascended form, but in mawsworn colors.
- Pelagos Shadeweaver says: This is your fate. Embrace it!
- Pelagos says: I... CAN... NOT... DO... THIS!
- Pelagos says: I... no... we... can do this! I am NOT alone.
- Pelagos says: Together.
- Pelagos Shadeweaver says: This will be your final failure.
During the fight, he summons Unleashed Trauma.
At 50%:
- Pelagos Shadeweaver says: You will never ascend! All you will ever be is Kleia's lackey!
- Pelagos says: You are wrong! We are stronger together. All three of us!
At 25%:
- Pelagos Shadeweaver says: You will fall at the Temple of Loyalty. You will join the Forsworn!
- Pelagos says: Not without a fight.
Finish it off:
- Pelagos says: I had failed that trial so many times... but not today.
- Arios Riftbearer says: Your arrival is timely. Pelagos battles not a memory, but his own doubt.
- Arios Riftbearer says: Well done! You finally conquered your deepest doubts.
Speak with Arios:
- It is not our place to intervene in the sacred trials.
- We need the Collectors for the battle ahead.
- Arios Riftbearer says: Though our numbers dwindle, we will never falter.
- Arios Riftbearer yells: The Archon calls, and her collectors answer!
Take the transport pad back to the mainland, then follow the road west to the Court of Elation before the Temple of Loyalty. Approach Adrestes:
- Polemarch Adrestes says: Our time has come, ascended. Today the Forsworn menace ends once and for all.
Gathered are the Paragons and their units - High Spiritguides, Auric Weavers, Ardent Champions, Valiant Hoplite, Stalwart Legionnaires, and Mikanikos.
