Description
Too long have my hands been idle!
<Forgelite Sophone smiles warmly at you.>
You cannot know what this means to me, but I might be able to show you. For your aid in restoring my forge, please allow me to craft you a piece of armor.
It will not be an extravagant affair, but through good works we grow to know ourselves better.
I will need your aid once more. Sika and I will guide you on the specifics. All you need to do is listen and do as instructed.
What do you say?

Notes
On accept:
- Forgelite Sophone says: Sika will show you how to operate the forge.
Speak to Sika:
- We help Forgelite, yes?
- Big forge, need heat. Not too much. Just some.
- I show?
Show me what to do, Sika.- Sika says: Put bright things in forge. Is fuel. Try!
The Raw Materials from before light up. Above the forge is a progress bar, with the middle third highlighted. The goal is to keep the heat indicator in the middle third. As time passes, the heat indicator moves back to the left as the forge cools.
Put in five:
- Sika says: Too hot? Vents make it better. Open one, please.
Interact with either Anima Forge Vent:
- Sika says: Now... keep juuuust right. Not too hot, not too cold. Yes? Go!
The vent will quickly drain the heat. Now the minigame starts. The forge could be too cold:
- Sika says: More fuel! More!
Occasionally, a surge will happen and the forge rapidly heats up for several seconds:
- Sika says: AH! Surge! Open vents!
The forge could also cool abnormally quickly for several seconds:
- Sika says: Cold! Help! Cold!
If the temperature is acceptable:
- Sika says: This good. Just like that, please.
Eventually, the progress will reach 100%:
- Forgelite Sophone says: Come, I have need of your hands.
- Forgelite Sophone says: Hold the armor steady, now.
Interact with the Incomplete Armor:
- Forgelite Sophone says: This is the most delicate part of the process. Precision is key.
This starts a long channel. Don't move until it completes:
- Forgelite Sophone says: Ahhhh. It is finished!

Demo version
- Objectives
Assist Forgelite Sophone.
- Speak to Forgehand Demikos
- Stoke the forge
- Hold the armor steady
- Description
We have the materials, and we have the anima to power the forge.
It is time to create something magnificent.
I have dedicated my existence here to learning the ways of the forge. Over thousands of your years I have improved my process and the result is armor unlike any other.
I would be glad to give you a glimpse into my methods. All you need to do is listen and do exactly as I say.
How does that sound?
- Completion
This armor has your mark on it, <name>. Cherish it, and know that it is the best it can be for where you are now.
In the future, you will find ways to grow.
- Notes
- Accepting the quest
Forgelite Sophone says: Just as my hammer will know the material, your hands will know this forge. Demikos will give your first task. Forgehand Demikos says: Follow, please, <name>.
- Sophone and Demikos go inside the nearest building
- Talking with Demikos
Are you ready to begin the armor forging process?
- Let's make some armor.
Forgehand Demikos says: We need to add anima cores. See them there? Forgehand Demikos says: Add them slowly! Too fast, and the anima will escape. Forgehand Demikos says: Too slow, and the forge will cool. So. Do as I say, yes?
- When you have to click on Pile of Anima Cores
Forgehand Demikos says: More cores! More!
- When you have to click on Animaforge Vents.
Forgehand Demikos says: AH! A surge! Open the vents! All of them!
- Completing the armor
Forgelite Sophone says: Come, I have need of your hands. Forgelite Sophone says: Hold the armor steady, now.
- Click on Incomplete Armor.
Forgelite Sophone says: This is the most delicated part. Forgelite Sophone says: I will infuse the armor with anima purified in the heart of the forge. Forgelite Sophone says: If I move too swifty, it will not bind with the material. Forgelite Sophone says: Too slowly, and the strands will cool... Forgelite Sophone says: Precision is key. Forgelite Sophone says: Ahhhh. Here we are.
- Completing the quest
Forgelite Sophone says: Aspirant Akimos should be ready for you, now. Treat your armor well and it will protect you from the trials to come.
There is also a Hold the heat steady NPC visible.
