Detailed Walkthrough[edit]

This quest begins midway through the conversation with Alana that you started in Ripple Effect. Alana explains that in order to learn how Faoulchu died you need to put on the armor of the one who killed him. However, she warns that you are not just reliving a vision, you are actually going back in time and taking this person's place, which means if you're not careful you could change the past.

After clicking on the Direnni Armor in the crypt, you scream as you are transported back in time thousands of years, though you stay in the same place. Alana Relin greets you; talk to her to advance the quest and learn the current tactical situation. Your first task is to find a copy of the enemy orders so your commander can make decisions on countering the attack.

Exit the crypt and follow the map marker through the western gate, where you'll find a fight, as well as the orders in a tent. Go to the Direnni camp (located in the same place as the modern-day Mages Guild camp) and talk to Commander Parmion. He orders Alana's team to kill Faolchu and you to defend the camp.

Go talk to Alana before she leaves. She is confident that killing Faolchu won't be a problem, and says she has good news to tell you after the battle.

Meet with Laloriaran Dynar, the Last King of the Ayleids, who will explain that you will have to use the Direnni magic of your armor to locate the covert Shadow Scouts and dispatch them. He also senses that there's something odd about you.

Listen to Parmion's speech, then find the scouts. Map indicators will lead you to them. Striking one of these Alessian Shadow Scouts will cause three Alessian Infantry to appear around you. Afterwards, a mortally wounded Scout Loriel will appear to tell you they were ambushed at Faolchu's headquarters. You must now find Faolchu's Lair.

Find your way along to the path further west, past the tent where you found the Alessian orders. The map marker leads to Scout Hanil, who informs you that Commander Parmion decided to join their assault. They were expecting Faolchu and his officers, and instead found themselves faced with a whole platoon. Parmion was killed in the ensuing fight, and Alana was taken.

Notes[edit]

  • The setting is slightly sepia tinted while you are in the past.
  • If you leave the battlefield in the middle of the quest, you'll revert to your normal appearance and will return to the present day. You can resume the quest by walking or riding back into the area.
  • If you are killed while in the past and select "revive from a wayshrine," you'll be transported back to the crypt.

Notes
* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
  • Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
  • Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
