==Walkthrough==
{{stub}}
Vigil Scout Premhoc can optionally be found just nortwest of {{waypoint|Pilgrim's Rest Waypoint}} as the mission begins. She will point three towers at {{poi|Raul's Watch}}, {{poi|Supra Fortis}}, and {{poi|Arcanological Survey Station}} that can be investigated.

The main objective is found at {{poi|Spire of Exaltation}}, which can then be entered from southeast of the Point of Interest to start the next instance with [[Call Allies]].

; Locate Vloxx within the Spire of Exaltation
Meet up with your allies and continue west while defeating enemies (only marked enemies need to be defeated, all Enchanted or Coalescences). Where the first enemies are found is a sidepath to the south for the [[#The Path of Ascension|The Path of Ascension]] achievement.

The next objective is found following the green arrows and heading up to the {{poi|Grand Colonnade}}. Continue along the corridor until a cutscene with Vloxx and Kuda plays, then break down the door at the end of the corridor.

Kuda's Omega Team consists of 3 champions, which have a lot of health but mostly don't deal that much damage and retreat at 25% health. Plokk is the simplest and simply attacks while occasionally inflicting [[Knockback]], Naati throws out conditions and occasionally drops a dangerous field that [[Daze]]s and inflicts many conditions at once, and Zipp is the most dangerous due to [[Evade]]ing and dashing around while dealing more damage than the other two.

Continue up the tower after all 3 are defeated, up to the roof and then up the broken path to Vloxx's [[Energy Barrier]] (might require [[Springer]] or [[Skyscale]] use).

; Get information on Canach's plan.
Reading Canach's mail starts the [[Infiltration Improvisation]] achievement, which needs to be completed to continue (can be done concurrently with the rest of the mission). War Scholar Jayna at {{waypoint|Deepwood Outpost Waypoint}} also needs to be spoken to.

The Sanctuary of the Keeper is at the {{poi|Whispering Artifact}} where 4 Journal Scrolls can be found: at the Point of Interest, on a rock to the northwest, by a crystal to the north-northeast, and up on a statue hand to the east. Sidony's final, [[Sidony's Curse|Magical Scroll]] is found far below the {{poi|Spire of Exaltation}}, near the ground floor path walked during the "Path Cleared" objective of the story instance.

Vigil Scout Premhoc can be spoken too to see the locations of items for the Infiltration Improvisation achievement, and after it is completed the mission finishes at the southern entrance to {{poi|The Forge}}.

=== Achievements ===
<div id="achievementcontrol"></div>{{account achievements widget}}

** Assist the Priory with their efforts near Pilgrim's Rest: Complete the event [[Escort Magister Lairu through the seer ruins.]] near {{poi|Pilgrim's Approach}}.

{{achievement box|Surveillance Probe}}
* Eligibility is tracked by {{effect|Achievement Eligibility: Surveillance Probe}}, which appears after talking to Vigil Scout Premhoc.
* Scout all three locations called out by Vigil Premhoc without engaging the Inquest in combat.
** Vigil Premhoc can be found right outside the map entry area, northwest of {{waypoint|Pilgrim's Rest Waypoint}}. Locations are loosely scattered, but getting there should not be hard. Just make sure you avoid events as most of them include Inquest foes.
** The southwester tower is to the far west at {{poi|Raul's Watch}}, up in the broken tower. There are no Inquest enemies at the Point of Interest or on the way there.
** The central tower is above {{poi|Supra Fortis}}. It has Inquest enemies right below it but if it's approached from the south or west it's possible to avoid them entirely.
** The northeastern tower at {{waypoint|Sanctum Exterior Waypoint}} and {{poi|Arcanological Survey Station}}. This is the most difficult tower to approach, as Inquest are patrolling outside.
*** As the achievement is updated after the dialogue finishes, it's best to approach only until dialogue starts and then dashing away to avoid enemies.

{{achievement box|The Path of Ascension}}
[[File:The Path of Ascension map.jpg|thumb|right]]
{{bug|
* The Seer spirit will remain after the final question and will keep asking it.
* If some of the Enchanted Weapons have been killed (i.e. up the main path), then the out of bounds box reduces such that the Seer spirit can stand in an out of bounds location after asking the first question and moving.
}}
* Eligibility is tracked by {{effect|Achievement Eligibility: The Path of Ascension}}.
* The Seer spirit is found to the south of the spot where the first enemies during the Spire of Exaltation instance. Afterwards, there are five [[Tattered Page]]s scattered about in that side area that needs to be found.
* This achievement has to be done before entering the second floor.
** Page 1 is found on a stone table east of the spirit, reached by heading through the corridor heading east and going into a small room on the right side of the corridor.
** Page 2 is found on the second floor, next to the southern stairwell. Since the southern stairwell is slightly out of bounds, you can either (a) use a mount on the southern stairwell, or (b) use the western stairwell by the ghost NPC.
** Page 3 is found in the room east of Page 1, in the southwestern corner.
** Page 4 is found in the room east of Page 1, in the northeastern corner.
** Page 5 is found in the room just north of Pages 3 & 4, among the rubble in the northwestern corner.
* The spirit will move a bit after each question, getting closer to the next page. If all pages were read before answering the first question one can simply stick close and answer the next question when it is posed.
** The correct answers are "The page detailed a total of four accounts.", "Eight days for your forebear. You needed fifteen.", "I think there were sixteen in your group.", "It appears she needed twenty-three days.", and "Your trials lasted forty-two hours."

{{achievement box|Infiltration Improvisation}}
* Unlocks after completing the Spire of Exaltation story instance and reading the associated Mail from Canach, and needs to be completed to continue. Vigil Scout Premhoc, found near {{waypoint|Pilgrim's Rest Waypoint}}, can point out all the possible locations of all items.
* Below are some of the locations for collection items.
** Canach's Device Component List: Acquired by reading Canach's mail.
** Sample of Raw Ley Magic: Found among some crystals northwest and above of {{poi|Quarry Depths}}.
** Sample of Raw Seer Magic: Found beneath {{poi|Raul's Watch}} or next to {{waypoint|Temple of Abnegation Waypoint}}.
** Sample of Inquest Magitech: Found just west of {{waypoint|Sanctum Exterior Waypoint}}.
** Chunk of Saltpeter: Found far northeast of the {{poi|Toppled Monument}}.
** Chunk of Oxidized Copper: Found on a cliff west and slightly below of {{poi|Ascendant's Way}}.
** Shard of Alum Crystal: Found next to the {{poi|Whispering Artifact}}.

; Speak with Vigil Scout Premhoc
:'''(if in the [[Vigil]])'''
:'''Vigil Scout Premhoc:''' [[Pact Commander|Commander]]! Never gets old, working with a legend of the Vigil. Almost as exciting as seeing this wildlife and vegetation!
:'''(otherwise)'''
:'''Vigil Scout Premhoc:''' [[Pact Commander|Commander]]! It's exciting, working with a legend like you. Almost as exciting as the Castoran wildlife and vegetation!
:'''Vigil Scout Premhoc:''' Uh, no offense. It's just, no one's explored these lands in centuries. Not that you aren't special, too, obviously—
:'''<Character name>:''' No offense taken, Premhoc. But I'm looking for some kind of tower, not exotic flora and fauna. Seen any signs of one?

; Talking to Premhoc again
:'''(if in the [[Vigil]])'''
:'''Vigil Scout Premhoc:''' If only [[General Almorra Soulkeeper|Almorra]] could see how far we've come... (sighs) Listen, I really appreciate everything you've done for the Vigil. Work's never done though, eh? At least we get to explore this place! Amazing!
:'''(otherwise)'''
:'''Vigil Scout Premhoc:''' Work's never done, eh? At least we get to explore this place! The [[Shipwreck Strand|strand]] and the [[Starlit Weald|weald]] were teeming with new discoveries. Now these ruins! Amazing!
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''What was that you said about exploring the area?'' '''(same as non-story dialogue, see [[Vigil Scout Premhoc#Eternity's Garden]])'''
:{{dialogue icon|story}} ''Wait, can you give me the rundown on the towers again?'' '''(replays map report, same as the initial interaction)'''
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Thanks for the info, Premhoc.''

;At the Inquest facility attached to the forge
:'''<Character name>:''' Inquest have built some kind of facility on top of a huge seer structure northwest of camp. Is this where the tower is?
:'''Isgarren:''' {{flavor|Describe it.}}
:'''<Character name>:''' Situated on an island. Spires. Pipes coursing with [[Ley line|ley]] [[magic]], pouring into a central chamber.
:'''Isgarren:''' {{flavor|No... No, I think not. The forge, perhaps. A place of great power, but— My memory fails me.}}

;At the Inquest camp in the north
:'''<Character name>:''' There's a large Inquest presence north of the central island structure. I think I see towers on the cliffs above.
:'''Isgarren:''' {{flavor|Mmm. North of the forge. Yes. Likely that is it. Almost certainly. That temple is home to the [[Spire of Exaltation]].}}
:'''Rytlock Brimstone:''' {{flavor|Any sign of Vloxx?}}
:'''<Character name>:''' It's massive; too high up. I can't see anything.
:'''Canach:''' {{flavor|We need to get up there.}}

;At the seer ruins to the west
:'''<Character name>:''' Tower here in the west. Tangled with trees. Looks like it might've been floating at some point—anchored by chains.
:'''Isgarren:''' {{flavor|Trees? Unlikely. I ... I believe it was located to the north. Grand. Imposing.}}
:'''Sayida the Sly:''' {{flavor|Is it "grand and imposing," Commander?}}
:'''<Character name>:''' More like abandoned and crumbling. Not sure what Premhoc sees in it... Moving on.

==== Main storyline ====
; Entering the Temple of the Blessed Mantle
:'''<Character name>:''' This temple...it's incredible. This has to be it.
:'''Isgarren:''' {{flavor|[[Director]] Vloxx is no fool; if he's found the spire, it is likely he's already inside.}}
:'''Isgarren:''' {{flavor|I would join you if I could, [[Wayfinder]]. I would suggest you do not venture inside alone.}}
:'''Sayida the Sly:''' {{flavor|Find a safe spot as soon as you can, and let us know when you're going in. We'll be right there.}}

; Calling your allies
:'''<Character name>:''' All right. I'm ready to explore the temple. No sign of Vloxx, but I think it's safe to assume the Inquest are inside.
:'''Isgarren:''' {{flavor|Take care, Wayfinder. This site is ancient. Powerful. Well defended. I'm sorry you must face this challenge without me.}}
:'''Rytlock Brimstone:''' {{flavor|But not alone. We didn't come all this way just to listen in on comms.}}
:'''Canach:''' {{flavor|Indeed. I can't wait to see what Vloxx has done with the place. We'll find you at the entrance, Commander.}}

=== Within Your Grasp: Ritual Grounds ===
; Meeting with your allies at the Temple of the Blessed Mantle
:'''Rytlock Brimstone:''' Gaudy architecture. Vaguely spiritual overtones. Must be the place.
:'''Sayida the Sly:''' He has to be here. At least we still have time to stop him.
:'''Rytlock Brimstone:''' Is that so?
:'''Sayida the Sly:''' Well, if he'd managed to [[Ascension (seer)|ascend]], we'd all be dead already.
:'''Rytlock Brimstone:''' Not sure about that—
:'''Canach:''' Rytlock's right. Vloxx wouldn't kill the commander.
:'''Sayida the Sly:''' Very funny.
:'''Canach:''' I wasn't joking.
:'''<Character name>:''' I'll put in a good word for all of you when we catch up to him. Now, let's get into that tower.

; First enemy group on path cleared
:'''Sayida the Sly:''' I'll never get used to fighting these floating weapons.
:'''Canach:''' At least there's no guilt about putting them down.
:'''Rytlock Brimstone:''' Guilt?

==== Optional ([[#The Path of Ascension|The Path of Ascension]]) ====
; Approaching the Lost Seer Spirit
:'''Lost Seer Spirit:''' Hello? Is this... Are you real? I've been alone so long ... and everything is so confusing.
:'''Lost Seer Spirit:''' I'm afraid my sight is not what it once was ... Might I ask a boon of you?

; Talking to the Lost Seer Spirit
:'''Lost Seer Spirit:''' Stranger...I cannot see you clearly, but your aura tells of kindness; you are...good. Though you do not know me, perhaps you would be willing to help?
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''How can I help?''
::Thank you. My soul is tethered within these walls, but the key to my freedom is nearby. A question plagues my mind: I sought accounts about my kind's ascension...but how many?
::{{dialogue icon|story}} ''I'll see if I can find what you're looking for.''
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I'm afraid I have something pressing to attend to.''

{{see|label=For book text along the ways, see|Tattered Page}}
;Page 1
:'''Lost Seer Spirit:''' You have returned. The question yet remains. How many accounts of my kind's ascension were discovered? Though the answer may seem trivial...I feel knowing will help me move forward.
:'''(if the first page is found)'''
:{{dialogue icon|choice}} ''The page I found mentioned two accounts.''
:{{dialogue icon|choice}} ''The page said there were three accounts.''
:{{dialogue icon|choice}} ''The page detailed a total of four accounts.''
::Four? Is that...yes. Yes! That was it. I recall now, for it was the same number as the cardinal directions on my compass. I feel the tether pulling me down a different path. Meet me deeper within.
::{{dialogue icon|story}} ''I'll return shortly.''
:'''(otherwise)'''
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I'll return when I've found something.''

;Page 2
:'''Lost Seer Spirit:''' I feel lighter but not yet free. Another question burns like a brand in my inner sight. I see the pilgrim's path, leading to the temple. How long did it take for my forebear? For me?
:'''(if the second page is found)'''
:{{dialogue icon|choice}} ''Two days for your forebear. Eight for you.''
:{{dialogue icon|choice}} ''Your forebear was fifteen days. You, only four.''
:{{dialogue icon|choice}} ''Eight days for your forebear. You needed fifteen.''
::This means... Yes, I remember the shame I felt for taking so much longer than my forebear. Still, the pull remains, but it comes from elsewhere in the temple. Follow, if you would.
::{{dialogue icon|story}} ''Lead on, spirit.''
:'''(otherwise)'''
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I need some time to answer.''

;Page 3-4
:'''Lost Seer Spirit:''' My memory of the past remains jumbled, but my purpose sharpens. I remember faces...the ones I traveled the path with. So many, and yet ... I cannot recall their number. The answer...is near.
:'''(if the third page is found)'''
:{{dialogue icon|choice}} ''You shared the path with twelve others.''
:{{dialogue icon|choice}} ''It sounds like there were four of you.''
:{{dialogue icon|choice}} ''I think there were sixteen in your group.''
::Sixteen, you say? (gasps) You are correct. Although not all of my companions made it to the temple. The pull...it yet anchors me here. Another question blossoms in the weed-strewn garden of my mind.
::{{dialogue icon|story}} ''What is the other question?''
:::Speaking of my cohort, I recall [[Xintri]]. She gave me such wisdom. Spoke of her own matron's hesitance and it made me feel...lighter. Can you tell me...how many days she took before entering the trials?
:::'''(if the fourth page is found)'''
:::{{dialogue icon|choice}} ''She was at the temple for ten hours before attempting the trials.''
:::{{dialogue icon|choice}} ''It appears she needed twenty-three days.''
::::Oh, forebears, twenty-three days! I remember the burden lifting from my shoulders to hear that. Just as I feel it lifting again...the pull returns. One last memory, further in. Come.
::::{{dialogue icon|story}} ''I will meet you there.''
:::{{dialogue icon|choice}} ''It sounded like eight weeks at the temple.''
:::'''(otherwise)'''
:::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I'll need to look around.''
:'''(otherwise)'''
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Let me look around for it.''

;Page 5
:'''Lost Seer Spirit:''' It was here that my journey ended. I passed the rite after...after some time. Yet, the specifics wriggle from my mind's grasp. Can you tell me...how long I was within the testing chamber?
:'''(if the fifth page is found)'''
:{{dialogue icon|choice}} ''Your trials lasted forty-two hours.''
:{{dialogue icon|choice}} ''Your trials lasted thirty minutes.''
:{{dialogue icon|choice}} ''You needed eleven hours to complete the trials.''
::You...you speak honestly, and yet... Oh, forebears, the full weight of truth reveals itself to me. These...these are not my memories. I did not complete the rite. I...died.
::{{dialogue icon|story}} ''I'm sorry, I... What does this mean?''
:::'''Lost Seer Spirit:''' ''I... No. This isn't right. I had thought...but these memories, while familiar, are not my own.''
:::'''Lost Seer Spirit:''' ''I must dwell on this further. Thank you, fellow candidate. Perhaps we will see one another again...''
:'''(otherwise)'''
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I may return, spirit.''

==== Back to the main storyline ====
; Approaching the All Seer Statue
:'''Sayida the Sly:''' [[The All Seer|This statue]]... Looks more than ceremonial. Something to do with the defenses?
:'''Rytlock Brimstone:''' Impressive. But I'm focused on the things that are actively trying to kill me right now.
:'''Canach:''' I'm sure Vloxx just waltzed right by all this with [[Ancora]] in hand.
:'''<Character name>:''' Maybe he hasn't had time to activate everything. Let's not wait around to find out.

; Finding a pile of Inquest equipment
:'''Sayida the Sly:''' Inquest junk. Somebody's here, that's for sure. How do you want to play this, Commander?
:'''<Character name>:''' If Vloxx is here, I either convince him to stop, or—
:'''Canach:''' Or perhaps we take a lesson from him and become a bit more... proactive.
:'''Rytlock Brimstone:''' In a hurry to get back to the [[Pub Canach|pub]]?
:'''Canach:''' Just ready to change the tune to this particular dance.

; Examiateing the Inquest equipment
:'''Inquest Communication Device:''' This communications device appears to be tracking some sort of signal to the north. Its controls are locked.
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I wonder what kind of range this thing has?''

:'''Inquest Component:''' This appears to be some kind of Inquest magitech energy container—it shares many similarities to the [[Dragonjade|jade]] tech batteries employed by the [[Cantha]]ns.
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Wonder what these are being used for...''

:'''Inquest Hoverbike:''' These parked hoverbikes are still warm to the touch, indicating they were driven recently. The controls are locked, and the interface uses biometrics to unlock.
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Leave the bikes alone.''

:'''Inquest Storage Tank:''' This storage tank appears empty. Its size would suggest it could hold medium-sized creatures. Or a full-sized asura.
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Interesting...''

:'''Inquest Refuse:''' (This pile of debris contains mostly discarded [[golem]] parts and other used and worn-out magitech components. It appears it was abandoned in a hurry.)
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Typical of the Inquest to leave their junk wherever it suits them.''

:'''Inquest Datapad:''' (This datapad is the interface for the Inquest energy recorder near the seer terminal. Readings indicate they used the device to modulate the terminal's magic to open the gate into the temple.)
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''The Inquest never let a locked door stop them ...''

; Entering the second floor of the temple (cutscene)
:'''Overseer Kuda:''' I can return for a demonstration when they're fully combat ready—
:'''Director Vloxx:''' No need.
:'''Overseer Kuda:''' No need? The firepower that forge gives us access to could secure the Inquest's place as the preeminent power in [[Tyria (world)|Tyria]].
:'''Director Vloxx:''' Possibly.
:'''Overseer Kuda:''' And that is of no interest to you? We have the key to the seer defense yet you waste your time up here?
:'''Director Vloxx:''' Weaponry is your line of work. I trust you to see to it, as I trusted [[Principal Biomancer Sebb|Sebb]] to see to his.
:'''Overseer Kuda:''' Sebb is [[Path of Divinity|dead]]. And I can't help but notice that you didn't seem too bothered by that, Director.
:'''Director Vloxx:''' Were you?
:'''Overseer Kuda:''' No. But—
:'''Director Vloxx:''' The designs of the [[Eternal Alchemy]] are beyond even me, [[Overseer (title)|Overseer]]. Now—
:'''Zipp:''' Spies. Spies! At the window!
:'''Director Vloxx:''' On second thought, Kuda, I'd like that demonstration after all.

; Cutscene ends
:'''<Character name>:''' Go! Get in there!
:'''Director Vloxx:''' [[Omega Team]], keep our guests busy, will you? Overseer, we'll reconvene when I'm done.
:'''Zipp:''' Let's go!
:'''Plokk:''' Yes, Director.
:'''Naati:''' Gladly.
:'''Overseer Kuda:''' Wait! They're still too volatile for combat—
:'''<Character name>:''' Vloxx, stop!

; Breaking down the door
:'''Naati:''' The commander? Ally of the seer. Where is he? I must know!
:'''Plokk:''' Excellent. A worthy opponent. None could deny it.
:'''Zipp:''' Need to fight. Have to move. Have to kill. Kill or die. Kill or die. Kill or die.

; Getting Plokk to 75% health
:'''Plokk:''' It seems I must unleash my full strength.
:'''Overseer Kuda:''' Less power and more accuracy, fool!

; Fighting Naati
:'''Overseer Kuda:''' Director! What are you waiting for?

; Getting Naati to 75% health
:'''Naati:''' I'll show you my true power.
:'''Overseer Kuda:''' Naati, stop! You're going to— (gasps)
:''(Kuda begins cowering.)''

; Fighting Zipp
:'''Overseer Kuda:''' He's not coming. Vloxx! If you think I'm just another Sebb, you're about to be very disappointed!

; Getting Zipp to 75% health
:'''Zipp:''' This power... I cannot...control... (yells)
:'''Overseer Kuda:''' Zipp! Restrain yourself, or you'll kill us all!

; Getting Zipp to 25% health
:'''Overseer Kuda:''' Enough! Omega Team, fall back. We're not sacrificing ourselves for this!
:'''Naati:''' Overseer! They must pay for the crimes they've committed!
:'''Overseer Kuda:''' The commander has plenty to answer for, but we've more important matters than revenge. Now, retreat! That's an order!
:'''Zipp:''' It's not over. It's not over. You'll die. You'll die.
:'''Sayida the Sly:''' What the—
:'''Canach:''' We can thank them later.
:'''<Character name>:''' Up. Quickly.

:{{dialogue icon|story}} ''Take a closer look at the energy barrier.''
::Peering deeper, you see a complex web of radiant ley energy, the cosmic sorcery of seer magic, and the crimson glow of Inquest magitech, all woven together into one pattern.

== My story ==
{{Mystory
| image = Within Your Grasp loading screen.png
| text =
I set off into the wilderness of Eternity's Garden in search of a structure that might be what Isgarren called "The Spire of Exaltation"—the tower where the seers performed the rite of Divitium Nava. While there are plenty of spire-like ruins in the area-some more interesting than others—I discovered a sprawling temple situated on a massive bluff in the north that seemed particularly promising.

I contacted my allies over comms. Isgarren speculated that if Director Vloxx had also seen this structure, he was likely already there. Vloxx's head start on us meant that he'd had weeks to scour the ruins for information on the rite and learn how to ascend; if he completed the rite, he could obtain power and knowledge to rival that of Isgarren himself. What he would do with such power was unclear, but we couldn't risk Vloxx or the Inquest gaining access to it.

Isgarren could not venture beyond camp, incapacitated by Sidony's curse, but I found a relatively safe spot on the east side of the massive temple and called for Sayida, Canach, and Rytlock to meet me.

<nowiki>***</nowiki>

I rendezvoused with my allies just inside the grounds of the Temple of the Blessed Mantle. Even in its current state of disrepair, the scale and grandiosity of the temple spoke of its importance to seer culture. We battled our way through the corridor's magical defenses—defenses Vloxx no doubt didn't have to contend with, being in possession of Ancora—and then found ourselves at the foot of a towering, ancient seer statue. Sayida speculated that it could be some form of defense, but whether that was true or not, we had more immediate threats to deal with.

As we fought our way up the spire ramps, we found Inquest vehicles and equipment on a landing, all but confirming our suspicions that Vloxx had already found the spire and could well be waiting above.

Sure enough, we entered the tower interior just in time to catch a snippet of conversation between Director Vloxx and Overseer Kuda. Since Sebb's death back in Starlit Weald, it was clear that Kuda now operated as Vloxx's second-in-command...and she seemed to vehemently disagree with Vloxx's priorities.

We eavesdropped as Kuda argued for the importance of her latest experimental creations—a trio of Inquest warriors with powers enhanced by the potent magical energy of the nearby seer forge. She believed their powers could make the Inquest unstoppable.

Vloxx couldn't have been less interested.

Kuda was furious, but Vloxx shut her arguments down. He seemed about to dismiss her when her addled, jittery underling Zipp spotted us.

Vloxx ordered Kuda's "Omega Team"—Zipp, Naati, and Plokk—to attack, then he promptly retreated up the spire ramps. We had no choice but to engage the forge-enhanced Inquest as Kuda shouted orders at them from afar.

It quickly became clear to all involved that Zipp, Naati, and Plokk hadn't mastered their newfound powers yet. Rather than allow the destruction of her precious experiments for the cause of buying Director Vloxx more time, Kuda surprised us and called for a quick retreat. Still, Vloxx had ample time to clear the area; we barreled up the last few ramps only to find a hastily erected magical barrier between us and the chamber atop the spire.

I called Isgarren over comms. As we caught him up on the situation, Canach closely examined the barrier then casually walked back down the ramp saying he was "off to write a new tune" and that he'd be in contact.

Before I could question him any further, Canach leaped away and Vloxx's hologram crackled to life just outside the barrier. There was no convincing Vloxx to open the barrier or talk things over. He insisted what he was doing was "the only way" and that he would see me "on the other side."

We'd been mere minutes from stopping Vloxx, but in the end, we were too late; Vloxx had unfettered access to the Spire of Exaltation, and all we could do was hope that Canach could get us through that door with enough time to stop him before he could complete the rite of Divitium Nava.

<nowiki>***</nowiki>

I made my way from the Spire of Exaltation and the blocked door to the chamber at its peak.

I quickly received a message from Canach detailing the components he required to create the "device" he planned to use to open the barrier. It was time to explore Eternity's Garden.

<nowiki>***</nowiki>

As I set out to hunt Canach's components down, Isgarren contacted me, asking that I also keep an eye out for an ancient magical scroll that Sidony used to create Isgarren's curse. If we could find the scroll, there was a chance that he and his assistant, Historian Minna, could possibly use it to somehow break the curse.

While I had little time to spare, there was no doubt we'd been sorely hampered without having Isgarren at full strength since arriving on Castora. I agreed to help, and he pointed me toward an Astral Ward scholar named Jayna for more information.

With no time to waste, I set about gathering the components for Canach's device. I also met with Jayna, who had a lead on the possible location of Sidony's scroll. It was no small task tracking down the scroll and the extensive list of components, but eventually I managed to gather everything we needed.

I headed to the forge to meet up with Canach.
