Dialogue

"To the Asura, there are no gods. There is only the Eternal Alchemy. It is the greater scheme of existence of which we are all a part. Your gods are pieces within this design, their manifestations mere facets in the geometric whole.

There is more to be learned, more facets to uncover. There are yet signatures I do not possess. Take the Divination with you. The Facet of Destruction, a manifestation of Balthazar's power, has appeared in the Verdant Cascades. Destroy it, and return its cipher to me."

Accept: "Your manifestation is my destiny."

Decline: "Do you really need ALL of the ciphers?"

When asked about quest: "The Facet of Destruction has manifested in the Verdant Cascades. The Divination can guide you to it."

Reward Dialogue

"The wavelength patterns here are clearly different from the first cipher. But what does it mean? Perhaps the answer lies in that which is alike, or that which is different. I require more ciphers before it will become clear. There is more for you to do, <playername>. But for now, take this compensation."

Walkthrough

Head southeast out of the Umbral Grotto using the proximity meter as a guide. Defeat the Facet of Destruction.
