Walkthrough

• The quest can be activated from the VTC Director or alternatively from Atsura.
• Tikawara can be found at the southeast of Neketaka, it is a small, remote Huana village covered by storms coming from Poko Kohara. You can gather information regarding the location of the ruins as well as obtaining the key to the ruins by talking to Ranga Ruānu and agreeing to help - Vektor, the cook from the failed Vailian expedition, will tell you that he believes the ranga is to blame and the Huana are working against him.
• Travel to the Poko Kohara ruins and from there onto the Engwithan Waystation. You'll need to head to the deepest section and the base of the adra pillar in order to resolve the quest. Upon arriving, interact with it and open the portal to The Adra Realm, head in the portal it to start the final phase of the quest.
• Walk to the center area and watch as the sane souls come to the fore, divided between Anahāru and Beza. Anaharu will engage you in dialogue and tell you that he is causing the storms that wreak havoc across the region. Once he explains the plan, you can ask him if destroying the region saves Tikawara, use Beza's pages to point out the VTC's ruthlessness, or a skill check of History (4) to point out that Vailia will only be replaced by Rauatai. He will not relent - even when you point out that he's the one destroying Tikawara. If you pass, your choices will determine who you will be facing:
  • Convincing Anahāru. You can promise to destroy the adra pillar to deny the Vailians a source of luminous adra. Anahāru will be convinced with either "You have my word. I'll destroy the adra." or "I'll consider it.". He will disappear and you'll have to face Beza and her group.
  • Convincing Beza. If you fail to convince Anahāru, Beza will cut in, asking you to let her team tag along and see if they can reunite with what's left of their bodies. Choose "It doesn't work that way. You're already gone." or pass a skill check of Metaphysics (4). Beza will give up and disappear, and you'll have to fight Anahāru.
  • Failing to convince either one of them will result in attacking and killing them all
• After the battle, you'll have to either destroy or restore the pillar. Whichever decision you choose, head towards the portal to leave the area.
• Upon returning to the village, you will be greeted by the ranga and the priestess.
  • If you destroyed the pillar, the ranga will be angry, but the priestess will be happy. Then look for Nairi in the shrine to obtain 1,000 and the ability to rest at the shrine.
  • If you restored the pillar, the ranga will be ecstatic and the priestess will be displeased of your decision. Then head over to Ranga Ruānu for a further Major Positive reputation with Tikawara.
• Later on, you can give Beza's pages either to (Reminder, you can pickpocket Beza's pages back from the ranga and the priestess.):
  • Vektor who will return it to the VTC and you won't receive any reward.
  • Giving it to Nairi, you'll obtain x2 Potion of Moderate Healing and x2 Potion of the Resilient Body.
  • Ranga Ruānu to prove that the VTC had no good intentions. Take note that you can only do this if you did not destroy the pillar. You'll gain a good reputation with Huana, and he will trust you.
