All that remains is to test your knowledge of the Abyss itself. Knowing the battleground is as important as knowing your enemy. I require you to visit three Daevas, and take some simple tests. If you have carried out even cursory research on the Abyss, you will easily pass the tests. And if you have not...well, you now have an ideal opportunity to learn. Go to the Temple of Knowledge to meet the scholars and take their tests. If you decline, you forfeit your chance at the supreme glories of battle. Very good. All the Daevas to whom you must speak are waiting for you at the Temple of Knowledge. As you complete the tests, each Daeva will certify your success with a diploma. First, you should speak to Sereniti. She will ask you general questions about the Abyss. Are you worried because I referred to a "test?" Daeva, you have nothing to fear. Cowardice is ignoble, but to make proper preparations in anticipation of a challenge is not. When you are ready to proceed, then consult me again. I understand you are here to test your knowledge of the Abyss. Very well. Let's start with a simple question. Do you know which event created the Abyss? It is true! During the Cataclysm the Tower of Eternity shattered into fragments, leaving only two broken stumps behind. A great disharmonious resonance began to flow between the stumps, and that is where the Abyss was created. The flow of energy is so unstable that the Abyss itself is not a stable space. Shall we proceed to the next question? Not quite correct. The Cataclysm occurred only after the Aetheric Field was lifted by the Seraphim Lords to allow the Balaur access to the Tower in a foolish bid for peace. It is true that the Aetheric Field has weakened since then, but the Aetheric Field and the Abyss are not related. Try again. Which incident created the Abyss? Oh, I'm sorry Daeva, but the Balaur have nothing to do with the formation of the Abyss. Well...that's not entirely true. Still, the Balaur did not directly cause the creation of the Abyss. Please try to answer again. Tell me what incident created the Abyss. Good. We'll move on. Why does the Abyss pose a threat to Atreia? This is important, because this is why we're fighting so hard. It's not just for the joy of slaughtering the Elyos--though Azphel knows that is a joy indeed. No. It is true that the Abyss was created as the Tower of Eternity shattered, but the fragments of the Tower have not diminished in size since the Cataclysm. Think back to why the Abyss was created, and I will pose the question again. Why does the Abyss pose a threat to Atreia? That's right! The Abyss is very unstable, and Aether is rapidly running out like water pouring through a crack in a dam. Now the Abyss is drawing Aether away from Atreia itself. If the Aether was exhausted, it could destroy all life. To stop it, we must defeat the Elyos and destroy their half of the tower. Are you ready for the final question? I'm afraid there's no prize for "most creative answer," YourName. Access to and from the Abyss is limited. The monsters there are not about to leave any time soon. Try again. Why does the Abyss pose a threat to Atreia? You face many dangers in the Abyss. I will list several of them, and I want you to pick the one that is not true. One, when you are fatally wounded out of range of an Obelisk, you are in danger of being vanished permanently. Two, Elysea can be accessed through the Abyss. Three, your innate Daeva resistances are reduced while in the Abyss. You clearly know nothing about the Abyss! Vanishment is the greatest of all the dangers that a Daeva faces out there! Do you want to spend eternity as nothing but the glimmer in a Stigma Stone? Of course, that's happened less and less since we've been able to establish our Obelisks in the Abyss, but don't take that as reason to go trapsing off on some fool's errand. Please...try again. Which statement is false? One, when you are fatally wounded out of range of an Obelisk, you are in danger of being vanished permanently. Two, Elysea can be accessed through the Abyss. Three, your innate Daeva resistances are reduced while in the Abyss. What? Young Daeva, think about it. If Elysea cannot be accessed through the Abyss, then how are all the Elyos getting in? Hmm? Answer me that! I will repeat the examples. Please pay attention this time. Which statement is false? One, when you are fatally wounded out of range of an Obelisk, you are in danger of being vanished permanently. Two, Elysea can be accessed through the Abyss. Three, your innate Daeva resistances are reduced while in the Abyss. That's correct! The flow of Aether is unstable in the Abyss, but neither your resistances nor your combat abilities should be adversely affected. I think you've attained at least a basic knowledge of the Abyss. Enough to get by on for now. Well done. Now you need to meet Moreinen. She's a historian, and has more questions for you. High Priest Balder sent you, I suppose? Did you know the same family has supplied all of Pandaemonium's High Priests for generations? Compared to the questions you've already answered, mine are very simple. The purpose of these questions is to recognize the efforts that your Daeva forebears made to explore the Abyss, establish gates, and create bind points. Thus we honor those who have gone before. To my first question. When was the Abyss created? I'm at a loss for words, Daeva. During the Millennium Wars, the Tower of Eternity still existed. How could the Abyss be formed while the Tower still stood intact? Think this through, and try again. When was the Abyss created? Yes, that's correct. During the Cataclysm, the Tower of Eternity was shattered and the Abyss was created. Of course, we didn't actually discover the Abyss until some time later. Let's move on to the next question. I'm trying to figure out how you achieved the title of ">Talk with Kvasir. High Priest Balder told you to meet the scholars in the Temple of Knowledge to take their tests. Phosphor is first on your list. High Priest Balder told you to meet the scholars in the Temple of Knowledge so they could test your knowledge. Phosphor tested your general Abyss knowledge. Moreinen tested you on the history of the Abyss. Kushar questioned you on strategy in the Abyss. You passed all the tests and then went to Kvasir. He congratulated you and informed you that you had passed the second stage of the Abyss Entry Permission process. WalkthroughChech the user comments for a walkthrough, or submit one by yourself. |
