## Walkthrough


### Step 1

- **Dialogue**: 


### Step 2

- **Objective**: Discover Crossroads of Defiance

- **Summary**: Discover Crossroads of Defiance


### Step 3

- **Reward**: It must be smashed at once with the hammer.
Lead the way.


### Step 4

- **Objective**: Recount what transpired thus far.

- **Summary**: You say you tried to destroy it, and a monster emerged?
That only deepens the mystery.


### Step 5

- **Reward**: Leave it be? That ominous energy?
That's not an option, Adventurer.


### Step 6

- **Objective**: Is there a way?

- **Summary**: If we leave things as they are,
what if the land withers all the way to the Sanctuary?
If you will not take action,
then I must handle this myself.
Near the pond where lava flows,
I shall seal it with heavy titanium and cast it away.
Submerged beneath the water, the dark energy shall not escape.


### Step 7

- **Reward**: Gather Titanium Ore from the rocks nearby
and forge a Titanium Ingot.


### Step 8

- **Objective**: Hand over Titanium Ingot.

- **Summary**: So, have you brought the Titanium Ingot? Let me see.
Oof!... That was heavier than it appeared!
You lifted this as if it weighed nothing?
The adventurers in this land are truly extraordinary.


### Step 9

- **Reward**: If you and I do not act,
this land may wither to dust.


### Step 10

- **Reward**: Burn it? That's a fine idea.
Even if the stone remains, the dark energy will be consumed.


### Step 11

- **Objective**: What materials do you need?

- **Summary**: Not just ordinary dry branches,
but ones infused with the heat of lava itself.
The Caphras Trees found in these lands alone
bear the warmth of the molten earth.
Bring me Caphras Tree Timber x10
and an Inextinguishable Ember.
The Inextinguishable Ember
can be found at Doomstill Pond.


### Step 12

- **Objective**: Hand over the timber and fire.

- **Summary**: Caphras Timber grown with the heat of lava,
and an Inextinguishable Ember that burns even such wood to ash...


### Step 13

- **Reward**: If you and I do not act,
this land may wither to dust.
