Objectives

Assist Eridia in cleansing Disciple Nikolon.

Description

This disciple... such emotion...

<Eridia stares at Nikolon for a long moment.>

Rarely do ascended require such rigorous cleansing, but I cannot deny what is readily apparent. This disciple will fall if I do not intervene.

There is no time to lose. Come. I will instruct you.

... I only hope we are not too late.

Rewards

You will receive:

  • 47g 26s 80c
  • 8,500 XP

Completion

<Eridia grips her hammer with pale knuckles.>

How... how are they so numerous?

Notes

On accept:

Eridia says: Pelagos, mind the stewards. <Name>, come with me. We will put this disciple's pain to rest.
Disciple Nikolon says: Thank you. Thank you!
Eridia says: We will begin when you are ready, <name>.

Follow Eridia and Nikolon outside, then speak with Eridia again:

Such an intensive cleansing may require your martial expertise.
Are you prepared to aid me?
  • Gossip Yes, Eridia.
  • Gossip Why is Pelagos excluded like this?

Pelagos:

He is... more fragile than most, when it comes to cleansing. I would not want him to lose his way. What we are about to do can be very unpleasant to witness.
You... I very much get the sense that you can handle the occasional dramatic event.

Gossip I see.

Say 'Yes, Eridia':

Eridia says: You know the ritual, disciple. Open your mind. Let the vesper cleanse it.
Disciple Nikolon says: I will. I... why does it hurt?!

Five Nikolon's Uncertainties appear. Defeat them:

Eridia says: Remain calm. Trust in the process.
Disciple Nikolon says: It is the process that grinds our aspirants into dust. How can I trust it?

Three Nikolon's Distrusts appear. Defeat them:

Eridia says: There is only one path for you, disciple. That is forward, through this pain!
Disciple Nikolon says: How can you endure this? How can you watch them suffer, unmoved?!

Two Nikolon's Doubts appear. Defeat them:

Eridia says: Our faith binds us all! This is the path we were chosen to walk!
Disciple Nikolon says: We will all fall. All of us. That is where the path leads!

Nikolon's Despair appears. Defeat it:

Disciple Nikolon says: ... I cannot save them... I cannot even... save... myself.
Eridia says: Nikolon...

Speak with Fallen Disciple Nikolon:

<The disciple breathes heavily.>
This is... I am...
Gossip Are you well?
Fallen Disciple Nikolon says: If this is truly the only way, then I will find another.
Eridia says: I cannot help you now. Perhaps... the Temple of Loyalty can.
Fallen Disciple Nikolon says: It is already too late. They are coming. And I will stand among them.

Speak to Eridia again:

I do not understand. Stand among...
<Eridia's eyes widen.>
No. That is impossible.

Gossip What is it? What is wrong?

Eridia says: Nothing, I--
Pelagos says: Eridia! The wards! They've--

A cutscene plays. Forsworn kyrian drop out of the skies, incapacitating kyrian and stealing their anima. On the other side of the cutscene, the Temple of Purity has been besieged by the Forsworn:

Lysonia says: Forsworn! The Temple is ours.
Eridia says: I know that voice! No... no, this cannot be!

Removed from game The subject of this section did not make it out of the alpha stages.

Description

You have seen what happens when Aspirants exude their burdens.

They can be excised, removed, with some efficiency. But the process, if not undertaken carefully, can leave scars. It can cause a buildup of resentment and fear of that pain.

I fear Nikolon has allowed his scars to fester. He now harbors doubt of the process, doubt which can be very dangerous.

Come, I need your aid. Let us see if we can set him back on the path.
