;Upon reaching the [[Gate of Fire]]
:'''Nettleblaze:''' Too slow.
:'''Nettleblaze:''' You've let the god being enter the well. You, with your melting flesh, cannot follow him now.
:<small>'''If asura:'''</small>
::'''<Character name>:''' There must be a way. I'm not quite a god, but I have resourceful friends. I can summon assistance.
::'''Nettleblaze:''' Nay! You will bring no more to the garden. We can assist you, but you will find it difficult, painful perhaps.
::'''<Character name>:''' Painful? Well, I suppose if I must. Give me the details.
:<small>'''If Charr:'''</small>
::'''<Character name>:''' There must be a way. I'm no god, but I have resourceful friends. I'll call for backup.
::'''Nettleblaze:''' Nay! You will bring no more to the garden. We can assist you, but you will find it difficult, painful perhaps.
::'''<Character name>:''' Bring it on. I'll do it. What?
:<small>'''If norn:'''</small>
::'''<Character name>:''' There must be a way. I'm no god, but I have resourceful friends. I can call for help.
::'''Nettleblaze:''' Nay! You will bring no more to the garden. We can assist you, but you will find it difficult, painful perhaps.
::'''<Character name>:''' I don't fear challenge. What must I do?
:<small>'''Otherwise:'''</small>
::'''<Character name>:''' There must be a way. I'm no god, but I have resourceful friends. I can summon support.
::'''Nettleblaze:''' Nay! You will bring no more to the garden. We can assist you, but you will find it difficult, painful perhaps.
::'''<Character name>:''' Tell me what I must do.
:'''Nettleblaze:''' You must reach the ancients, four lost spirits. They were trapped by a deception, in the being [[Zinn]]'s unnatural vaults.
:'''Nettleblaze:''' A metal guardian stands alone in a graveyard. Find it. It knows the vault locations and how to enter them.
:'''Nettleblaze:''' Free all the elders, and they will protect you while you're in the throat.
:'''Nettleblaze:''' You'll have their protection until your quest is complete. Then, you must leave here.
:'''Nettleblaze:''' I will send the wind to tell them you're coming. If you make it, they will know to give you their blessings.

{{Mystory
| image = Draconis Mons loading screen.jpg
| text = Blast that Balthazar! He dove into the volcano's throat where I can't follow. If I'm going to catch up to him, I'll have to find a way to withstand the heat. That same—I think—spirit was waiting for me there. It told me of four ancient spirits of its kind who have been trapped and who can ward me against fire. I have to find and free them, and then I'll be able to go in after Balthazar.
