Dialogue
Enter the Ruins of Time and begin the final "Flame-Chase Journey"
Mission DescriptionThe Ruins of Time... This is the kernel of the Scepter. Here stands Phainon, who forged a prison with rage to contain the hatred of Irontomb. If we wish to face the Lord Ravager head-on, we must embark on our final Flame-Chase Journey, gather the destinies of the Chrysos Heirs who have ascended into Titans, and reach Phainon with their aid to dissolve the Blazing Sun's obsession.
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: Never thought I'd one day be riding a train that's literally the incarnation of (Trailblazer)...
- Cyrene: I wonder what the real Astral Express feels like. Hopefully not this... bumpy.
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: Finally... we're here.
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: Dust and sand in the air, and crumbling ruins all around.
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: This heat is brutal! Not even the Trailblaze can take it...
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: You could say this prison was forged from Phainon's fury.
- Cyrene: But fury never lasts forever...
- Cyrene: That's why we're here, right, (Trailblazer)?
Time to go. Let's not keep Phainon waiting.- Together, we'll all become Deliverers!
- Now, the entire cosmos stands with the Trailblaze.
- Throne of Worlds, (Trailblazer): Let's embark on the final Flame-Chase Journey.
Gather the "Last Titans" and prepare to face Irontomb
- (Approach the door)
- Mydeimos, Lance of Fury: So this is what lies at the end of the west wind... a ravaged battlefield.
- (Approach Mydei)
- Mydeimos, Lance of Fury: ...
- Mydeimos, Lance of Fury: I've been waiting for you, heroes from beyond the sky.
- Mydeimos, Lance of Fury: (Trailblazer) of the Astral Express, right?
- Cyrene: Looks like I don't need to explain anything.
- Mydeimos, Lance of Fury: I am the God of Strife, Mydei of Castrum Kremnos. In this body rests thirty million lifetimes of cause and effect.
- Mydeimos, Lance of Fury: We, the last of the Twelve Titans, stand ready to fight for the world's destiny.
- This isn't our first time fighting together.
- Mydeimos, Lance of Fury: Indeed. That journey remains vivid in my memory. I will not forget it.
- Unfortunately, our paths crossed in only one lifetime.
- Mydeimos, Lance of Fury: There is no need for regret. The "second time" is just about to begin.
- Mydeimos, Lance of Fury: The past remains vivid in my mind. Even the sights along each crossing of the River of Souls have never been clearer. Let alone the companions along the Flame-Chase Journey, or Cyrene from Aedes Elysiae...
- Mydeimos, Lance of Fury: And you, the 13th Titan.
- Cyrene: Well, I guess my identity's not a secret anymore.
- Cyrene: That means... her sacrifice and everything she did wasn't forgotten by the world, right?
- Mydeimos, Lance of Fury: She was the first ripple. She should have reached the end of the story with everyone else.
- Mydeimos, Lance of Fury: Since you've taken up her pen, then write, stand with us, and fight destiny with all your strength, until all is settled.
- Mydeimos, Lance of Fury: Then, inscribe her name in the epilogue of the epic.
- Mydeimos, Lance of Fury: In this final battle, Calamity shall stand with Amphoreus.
- Mydeimos, Lance of Fury: This battlefield is a testament to the death struggle between the Gods and the black tide.
- Mydeimos, Lance of Fury: We fought tooth and nail to defend that blade. And the abyss it pierced... was the very breeding ground of Irontomb.
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: The earth beneath our feet is dead. Deep below lies a void, as if the world's core had never formed.
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: I hear it... Phainon's heartbeat. It's so faint, like he's on his last breath.
- Mydeimos, Lance of Fury: Across thirty million cycles, I've crossed blades with Dawnmaker countless times. If you knew that man, you'd understand...
- Mydeimos, Lance of Fury: It is exactly that last flicker of flame that will never go out.
- Mydeimos, Lance of Fury: In this life, the song of Strife shall not end in a final watch over Kremnos, but rise again into a journey unending.
- Mydeimos, Lance of Fury: I am Mydeimos, the Lance of Fury. I trade a thousand scars and a hundred lives of mine...
- Mydeimos, Lance of Fury: For the Destruction's eternal end!
- (Enter battle)
-
- Wave 1:
Ichor Memosprite: Pheasant ×2, 
Tide-Eroded Blade ×2 - Wave 2: Tide-Eroded Blade ×2,
Cyclonic Swarm Mother ×1
- Wave 1:
- (After the battle)
- Mydeimos, Lance of Fury: Weakling.
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: Whoa, he's so strong! We didn't even get a chance to jump in...
- Mydeimos, Lance of Fury: Sadly, our golden blood shares its origin with Irontomb. I fear that, like these pawns, even if the gods stand side by side, we'll still be divided and destroyed, one by one.
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: You mean...
- Mydeimos, Lance of Fury: To destroy the Destruction itself, we must stand as one.
- Mydeimos, Lance of Fury: Take this.
- Mydeimos, Lance of Fury: The Signet of Kremnos. It has witnessed every birth and death of mine. It is Mydei's unfinished destiny...
- Mydeimos, Lance of Fury: And the perfect material to be turned into Remembrance.
- Mydeimos, Lance of Fury: You can do it, right?
- Cyrene: The weight of thirty million lifetimes of duty... is no small burden.
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: So... you're not coming with us?
- Mydeimos, Lance of Fury: Come now...
- Mydeimos, Lance of Fury: I am Strife, scattered across all creation, the scar that this world needs. What stands before you is merely one of countless divine bodies.
- Mydeimos, Lance of Fury: Take this signet. With it, I'll be with you always. Use it to blaze the path ahead and inscribe the "Cause of Deliverance."
- Mydei: In the name of the mortal, Mydei, Champion of Strife, this soul rises to the stars, for glory and freedom, to have his wish fulfilled!
- Mydei: "March on, heroes. March into the abyss, and fulfill that long-cherished wish of Amphoreus."
- Mydei: "And then, upon this broken and charred land, build anew a city of prosperity."
- (Obtain
Imperial Ring of Strife ×1)
- (Approach the marked location)
- Coin of Whimsy, Cifera: Zephyro? Sounds like someone fused me and the little prince into one name.
- (Approach Cipher)
- Coin of Whimsy, Cifera: Oh, finally! Gray Mystery! And...
- Coin of Whimsy, Cifera: Uh. You two ladies... really look alike, huh?
- Coin of Whimsy, Cifera: Hold on, let me guess. This pink-haired one... you've gotta be the "first Nouspore," Miss Demeow... Demiurge, right?
- Coin of Whimsy, Cifera: And this one with the flower... gotta be little March from the Express Crew, huh?
- Wow, I just learned so much from you.
- Cyrene: But she's not wrong. Some flowers do look alike after all.
- They do look a bit alike.
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: We do?
- Cyrene: (He's/
She's) saying we're both pretty, right?
- You've got sharp eyes.
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: Do we really look that alike?
- Cyrene: (He's/
She's) saying we're both special in our own way, right?
- Coin of Whimsy, Cifera: Relax, I'm just kidding. Look at those gloomy faces! How are you gonna save the world like that?
- Coin of Whimsy, Cifera: Let me share some good news with you. This place may look like a ruin at first glance, but anyone can tell... it's not that simple.
- Coin of Whimsy, Cifera: Look. I dug three thousand feet down, and finally struck gold.
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: A golden feather...
- Coin of Whimsy, Cifera: Look familiar? It's from that little Deliverer boy. If it's showing up here, it means only one thing...
- Coin of Whimsy, Cifera: This ruin is the "seal" he built from the shattered remains of thirty million lifetimes.
- Phainon: There is no need to question your heart, no need to crave victory. If I am born to be a vessel of sin...
- Phainon: Then I shall roar at evil, and Trailblaze a dawn for future generations to come!
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: I see... So this is how he trapped Irontomb to buy time for the world outside.
- Coin of Whimsy, Cifera: Sounds just like him. People say cats have nine lives, but dying and coming back, millions and millions of times... no one walks away from that in one piece.
- Coin of Whimsy, Cifera: He's probably the only one who could've endured that.
- Phainon's not facing this alone anymore.
- He believed we would come...
- Coin of Whimsy, Cifera: Of course. I knew ahead of time and gave him a heads-up. He was happy. Even laughed in his sleep...
- Coin of Whimsy, Cifera: After all, the dead can't hear Trickery's lies.
- Coin of Whimsy, Cifera: Hey, Deliverer boy! Sorry for before, but the heroes you were always holding out for... they're finally here now!
- Coin of Whimsy, Cifera: So hang in there a bit longer! Sorry to keep you waiting all this time!
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: ...
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: Please join us, Cipher. Help us fight for a new sunrise tomorrow.
- Cyrene: This time, its light will stand without lies.
- Coin of Whimsy, Cifera: Well, would you look at that. I ended up being one of the heroes after all, huh?
- Cipher: Alright, then write it like this: Cipher, Trickery's Traveler... All she ever wanted was for there always to be water in deserts and gold in fertile soil, and for even a thief to steal their way into legend!
- Cipher: "Here, take the Coin of Whimsy. When it's time to make a quick getaway, just toss it high into the sky."
- Cipher: "And for all you latecomers out there, listen up: She might've been a bit greedy and a bit of a liar... but she never went back on her word!"
- (Obtain
Trickery Coin ×1)
- Cipher: "Well, well. If it isn't the little prince himself."
- Mydei: "It's been a while, Lady Cifera."
- Cipher: "It's not everyday we get to walk the same road."
- Cipher: "We're one player short. When's Princess Homebody showing up?"
- (Approach the marked location)
- Castorice, Hand of Shadow: So even this vessel... you've forged into a shackle?
- (Approach Castorice)
- Castorice, Hand of Shadow: I'm glad to see you again...
- Castorice, Hand of Shadow: (Mr./
Miss) (Trailblazer). - (Trailblazer): Castorice...
- Castorice, Hand of Shadow: Looking back, I had only one act of "salvation" to my name, and only one life I ever saved.
- Castorice, Hand of Shadow: To bring hope to a world so vast with these hands... Even in dreams, it always felt like too much to ask for.
- We are saving countless lives.
- We're bound for the vast, endless sky.
- Castorice, Hand of Shadow: Mm. I... won't forget.
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: Flame Reaver? Why is he here?
- Castorice, Hand of Shadow: This is the first Khaslana, and Lord Phainon's deepest wound.
- Castorice, Hand of Shadow: He remembered everything he bore through the fires of his fury, but when the embers faded, all that remained was cold regret.
- Castorice, Hand of Shadow: I've restrained countless vessels like this across endless cycles. But this one... the pain he carried runs deeper than any I've known.
- Cipher: "Maybe he's been waiting here just for us."
- Mydei: "Waiting for his former 'enemies' to stand before him again."
- Castorice, Hand of Shadow: ...
- Castorice, Hand of Shadow: What answer does he hope for from us?
- Mydei: "Well, obviously..."
- Mydei: "Even if I had to go through hundreds of billions of cycles again, I would still entrust my weakness to you."
- Mydei: "So, let go of your regret, comrade. Its purpose is served. You don't need it anymore."
- Cipher: "Hey, I'm not that accommodating, y'know. You've never once pulled your punches. Ever heard of going easy on a lady?"
- Cipher: "So pull yourself together, will you? If you freeze up during the final battle, the whole cosmos is gonna have a good laugh."
- Castorice, Hand of Shadow: ...Yes. Please trust in us, wandering soul.
- Castorice, Hand of Shadow: Across thirty million cycles, the radiance of every Flame-Chaser now shines bright enough to illuminate the path ahead.
- Castorice, Hand of Shadow: I ask you to rest here...
- Castorice, Hand of Shadow: And may this grieving soil bear the bloom of acceptance.
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: No earthquakes... It's surprisingly quiet.
- Cyrene: Perhaps Khaslana has found his peace.
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: There's another possibility. This may not be the only seal he left behind.
- Castorice, Hand of Shadow: Then, I suppose it's my time to set out with you.
- Castorice, Hand of Shadow: Please take this Antila flower with you. I believe that if anything could speak for "Castorice"...
- Castorice, Hand of Shadow: This ordinary, resilient bloom would be more than enough.
- Mydei: "..."
- Castorice, Hand of Shadow: Perhaps you remember, Lord Mydei. In that lifetime when you traveled with (Trailblazer), you once told me...
- Castorice, Hand of Shadow: "Control what little you can, and when fate's inescapable grasp comes..."
- Mydei: "Resist it with the strength of your mighty will."
- Castorice, Hand of Shadow: I think I've done it. I've stood tall and walked among the Flame-Chasers...
- Castorice: Casting off the name of death — Castorice, Servant of the Afterlife — may her name be etched into the stars...
- Castorice: "And then, live as a human..."
- Castorice: "And die as one."
- (Obtain
Winter Blossom of Death ×1)
Try using the power of Time to move the giant boulder blocking the way
- Cipher: "Why so sentimental?"
- Castorice: "Sorry, force of habit."
- (Approach the giant boulder)
- Cipher: "That's a big one. So, who's up for a show?"
Failed attempt. Perhaps the power of Time belongs elsewhere...
- (Attempt to move the boulder using the power of Time and fail)
- Cipher: "Not budging an inch, huh? Really, Gray Mystery? I leave you alone for a bit and you're already this rusty?"
- Castorice: "Speaking of which, Miss Cipher, do Dolosians... all like spherical things?"
- Cipher: "Of course we do... Wait, that's not the point!"
- Cipher: "Isn't the real issue that this thing's in the way?"
- Mydei: "..."
- Seems like something got mixed up.
- The Time Titan is someone else...
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: Oh right, it's my turn to shine now?
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: Watch this! The fresh power of Time!
- Cyrene: Remember Oronyx's Prayer?
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: Of course I do! C'mon, give me some credit...
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: "Lift the beddings of memory..."
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: "—and stir up ripples of past reverie!"
Move the giant boulder blocking the path with the help of Oronyx's Prayer
March 7th deployed the Domain of Time for everyone, and within the Ruins of Time, Oronyx's Prayer will remain in an enhanced state.
March 7th deployed the Domain of Time for everyone, and within the Ruins of Time, Oronyx's Prayer will remain in an enhanced state.- (Unlock Achievement The Beddings of Memories)
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: See? Way better than (Trailblazer), right?
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: You'd be even more impressive if you could recite the prayer correctly.
- Cyrene: But "beddings of memory"... does catch your attention.
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: A—At least it still rhymes!
Continue forward into the depths of the ruins
- (While on the elevator)
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: There's a whole garden down here...?
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: Incredible. The energy in the earth's veins here... It's completely different.
- Castorice: "This is the sweet dream Lady Cipher wove for him..."
- Castorice: "A peaceful, gentle new world."
- (Approach the marked location)
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: Look, the blade down here's already snapped...
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: Just like his mind, shattered and broken.
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: But that light... it looks familiar...
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: Yes, it's the world-cleansing blood...
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: Still shimmering... after all this time?
Gather the "Last Titans" and prepare to face Irontomb
- Step DescriptionThe Ruins of Time... This is the kernel of the Scepter. Here stands Phainon, who forged a prison with rage to contain the hatred of Irontomb. If we wish to face the Lord Ravager head-on, we must embark on our final Flame-Chase Journey, gather the destinies of the Chrysos Heirs who have ascended into Titans, and reach Phainon with their aid to dissolve the Blazing Sun's obsession.
- Mydei: "This roundabout way of doing things... is definitely him."
- Castorice: "Golden light... tracing the way home..."
- Cipher: "Shame our destination's the exact opposite of the one in your poem."
- (Approach the marked location)
- Hyacinthia, Eye of Twilight: All the "pink" lights have finally come together.
- (Approach Hyacine)
- Hyacinthia, Eye of Twilight: I've been waiting so long for you! Grayie, Dannie, and...
- This is Cyrie.
- Cyrene: So that makes... three adorable pink-haired girls!
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: Told ya. Let someone else say that kinda stuff.
- This is... the Joyful Marchie.
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: Huh? Marchie? I think I prefer Sevie.
- This is by the Remembrance's curation...!
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: Huh... you've actually got a point!
- Cyrene: (Trailblazer)'s eyes really lit up...
- Hyacinthia, Eye of Twilight: I'm glad we're all getting along so well!
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: Hyacine, did you awaken this golden light?
- Hyacinthia, Eye of Twilight: That's Lord Phainon's lingering divinity. The Sky merely reflected its tracks.
- Hyacinthia, Eye of Twilight: The golden blood has not faded. We... should respond in kind.
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: That's one huge harp...
- Hyacinthia, Eye of Twilight: The strings tremble as the people on the surface wage war and cry out.
- Hyacinthia, Eye of Twilight: Miss Clementine, Mr. Krateros, and countless others who have heeded (Trailblazer)'s call... guided by the rainbow. They're sending back good news, all to the same tune...
- Castorice: "Amphoreans need not bow, even when destiny is unveiled."
- Hyacinthia, Eye of Twilight: I knew you could all hear it too.
- Hyacinthia, Eye of Twilight: Standing here, the sky feels wider than ever. It's no longer a towering wall, but a shore within reach.
- Hyacinthia, Eye of Twilight: We'll take every name there with us, won't we?
- Cyrene: We will.
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: An epic is shaped by the lives it carries. That much is beyond doubt.
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: Or as you've said before: Right now, all that matters is to believe.
- Hyacinthia, Eye of Twilight: Then... I guess that's my little wish fulfilled.
- Hyacine: Pluck the strings, Hyacine, Healer of the Sky. May the seven-hued melody weave a rainbow, bringing a rosy-fingered dawn to the children of humanity.
- Hyacine: "When the rainbow rises across the horizon, even the darkest clouds of destiny shall scatter."
- The golden harp stands silently, yearning for those who came after to strum its strings.
- Pluck the strings.
- Respond to Phainon's presence.
- (Trailblazer): Phainon... can you hear me?
- ...
- The world responded with silence, just like that man. But this silence wasn't born of emptiness — it was the hoarse roar of a martyr.
- The golden harp stands silently. Phainon awaits your touch upon its strings.
- Pluck the strings.
- Hyacine: "The melody... it's changed..."
- Hyacine: "He heard the voices of the people, but could no longer respond with the same ardor."
- Hyacine: "Like a bird drawn home by instinct..."
- Hyacine: "It takes flight, and finds its way to him."
- (Obtain
Skybound Spirit Kist ×1)
- (Approach Anaxa)
- Bough of Rift, Anaxagoras: You're here. Sooner than I expected.
- Bough of Rift, Anaxagoras: So, all along, the Demiurge was you...
- Bough of Rift, Anaxagoras: The pink mammal beside (Trailblazer).
- Cyrene: Your classification is pretty spot-on, Professor Anaxa...
- Hyacine: "Well, the Sages of the Grove do call him the Titan with the sharpest eye in Amphoreus."
- Bough of Rift, Anaxagoras: Say the ones who keep dumping every problem child on me.
- Hyacine: "They also say that Titans are way better at raising kids than the Caprists."
- Hyacine: "With great power comes great responsibility. I'm sure you know just how to guide them, right?"
- Castorice: "It shouldn't be too hard for someone with your insight."
- Bough of Rift, Anaxagoras: Exactly. Alright, gather yourselves. It's time for a pop quiz.
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: Whoa, this is way more hardcore than the happy-go-lucky stuff at Paperfold University.
- Bough of Rift, Anaxagoras: The final battle is upon us, and the reinforcements still can't get through. No matter how many times I tell him, he just can't seem to manage the rear line properly.
- Bough of Rift, Anaxagoras: See those crystals? They carry the "wishes of deliverance," like insects trapped in amber and resin.
- Bough of Rift, Anaxagoras: This is the task Phainon left behind: Retrace the path once taken, draw forth those wishes from the crystals, and carry them into the final battle.
- Bough of Rift, Anaxagoras: I've tried, but I can't move them alone. And as for why, well, I'm sure you all know the answer.
- Mydei: "Hmm, the conviction to save the world weighs far heavier than the world itself."
- Cyrene: In other words, as The Hero Within his heart...
- Cyrene: This challenge is practically made for (Trailblazer), isn't it?
Attempt to initiate the ceremony and take away the Wish of Worldbearing
- Step DescriptionThe ruins harbor the obsessions and bitter fruits of 30 million cycles. As we venture deeper, Mydei, Cipher, Castorice, and Hyacine join the team one after another. Anaxa has been waiting by the crystal that holds the wish to save the world. We need to initiate the ceremony, attempt to take away Phainon's wish, and silence the heavy reverberation in his heart.
- (Talk to Anaxa, optional)
- Bough of Rift, Anaxagoras: If you're ready, begin the ritual.
Start Trial- ...
- Begin the ritual.
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: Who turned off the lights!? This pop quiz even has dramatic effects now?
- Castorice: "Endless darkness... that is where wishes begin."
- Hyacine: "But with just a glimmer of light, we can illuminate this lonely world."

- Bough of Rift, Anaxagoras: Chaos. To bear the name Khaslana...
- Bough of Rift, Anaxagoras: One must first plunge into chaos, to seek a path for the primordial light.
- (Cross the boundary of light)
- Castorice: "Beyond the shadows... lies the outline of dawn."
- Hyacine: "Only by bearing both light and shadow can one traverse the cycles of dawn and dusk."
- (Reforge the first Crystal)
- Reforge the Crystal of Wishes
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: The light's spreading.
- Echo of Deliverance: "These creatures... they're everywhere..."
- Echo of Deliverance: "Someone... anyone... where are you..."
- Cyrene: His very first wish was simply to become his village's little hero...
- Cyrene: He'll never forget what set him on this path.
- Bough of Rift, Anaxagoras: That's the ray of hope. Just like the wishes he gathered, it's grown ever more insatiable.
- Echo of Deliverance: "WHY... WHY IS THIS HAPPENING!?"
- Echo of Deliverance: ...
- (Reforge the second Crystal)
- Reforge the Crystal of Wishes
- Echo of Deliverance: "Even the Deliverer from the sky must have their beginning in the soil of the nations."
- Echo of Deliverance: "Only one who treats the world as their teacher... can bear its eventual destiny."
- Bough of Rift, Anaxagoras: He never expected that the majestic holy city would be far from the end of what needed to be protected.
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: The farther his gaze reached, the more weight he came to bear.
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: But in the end, he couldn't hold on to any of it.
- (Reforge the third Crystal)
- Reforge the Crystal of Wishes
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: This crystal... is quiet.
- Bough of Rift, Anaxagoras: A prisoner in the cave can never truly describe the world in its entirety.

Carry the wishes and take away Worldbearing's mark
- Bear the wish of Worldbearing
- Echo of Deliverance: "The blaze was still not enough. It had to be fed..."
- Echo of Deliverance: "Only by... feeding the flames... can we melt... that hopeless future."
- Bough of Rift, Anaxagoras: The echo in his heart still lingers.
- Bough of Rift, Anaxagoras: Deliverer, take the wish of Worldbearing with you first.
- Bear the wish of Worldbearing.
- Cyrene: We only have half of the mark. Where's the other half?
- Bough of Rift, Anaxagoras: Take this. I'll bring you to the next test.
- Bough of Rift, Anaxagoras: That massive tome you're holding must have room for one more scholar, I presume?
- Cyrene: Of course. It can hold the whole world.
- Bough of Rift, Anaxagoras: Then give me a lift, would you? I'd rather save my energy and use the time to think.
- Hyacine: "Even gods shouldn't skip exercise, you know?"
- Castorice: "Miss Hyacine... is right."
- Bough of Rift, Anaxagoras: ...
- Cyrene: Then, with the Trailblaze as witness, the stars shall remember how Anaxagoras refuted the gods...
- Bough of Rift, Anaxagoras: ...
- Anaxa: No need for that. Anaxa, Scholar of Reason... keeping it simple makes it easier for future minds to question.
- Anaxa: "Go. The closing act is still far ahead."
- (Obtain
Jade of Reason ×1 and 
Wish of Worldbearing ×1)
Gather the "Last Titans" and prepare to face Irontomb
- Anaxa: "What is this? A conference?"
- Cipher: "Welcome! Take a seat anywhere you like!"

- (Approach the marked location)
- Scale of Justice, Cerydra: It seems like we've been shut out.
- Chalice of Plenty, Helektra: I don't think that's a bad thing.
- Chalice of Plenty, Helektra: Gray Fry, you finally made it.
- Scale of Justice, Cerydra: No laws. No opposition. Just a dying beast and the "Flame-Chase Spirit" of shared hatred—
- Scale of Justice, Cerydra: Boring.
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: Whoa... this place is really out of the way.
- Chalice of Plenty, Helektra: Imperator, should we tell them?
- Scale of Justice, Cerydra: It's your call.
- Chalice of Plenty, Helektra: Allow me to share our findings: This paradise, along with the Destruction, seems to be instinctively rejecting both the Imperator and me.
- Chalice of Plenty, Helektra: Perhaps it is because the era in which Phainon was the most active lies far removed from the days of the first Flame-Chase Journey.
- Chalice of Plenty, Helektra: Even in the cycles where he remained sane, his ties with us... never went beyond "cooperation."
- Scale of Justice, Cerydra: Even trapped in a cage, he hasn't let down his guard. That is a good sign.
- Scale of Justice, Cerydra: That man's heart may seem hollow, but his hatred is clear. Naturally, it holds no place for a monarch who stands above the world, nor her blade.
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: Wait, so you two can't come with us?
- Scale of Justice, Cerydra: You want us to join you as "memories"?
- Cyrene: Indeed. This way, the stars shall remember a great sovereign and her faithful retainer...
- Cyrene: "Cerydra, Monarch of Law..."
- Cyrene: "And Hysilens, Knight of the Ocean."
- Chalice of Plenty, Helektra: ...
- Scale of Justice, Cerydra: Is that book truly the only way for us to leave our names in history?
- Cyrene: I believe... As I've Written is but one medium. The Remembrance has countless ways of capturing time.
- Scale of Justice, Cerydra: Understood. Then...
- Scale of Justice, Cerydra: Allow me to decline. I'll see you on the battlefield.
- Cerydra: "I would rather be forgotten than be defined."
- Cerydra: "If your words hold true, then we have our own ways... to meet again in the world to come."
- Chalice of Plenty, Helektra: In that case, I will choose the same.
- Hysilens: "Let the waves that surge within your heart cleanse the sins of the black tide, Gray Fry."
- Hysilens: "The star-borne sea awaits your song of triumph."
- Cyrene: You two are still as resolute as ever.
- Cyrene: In that case, we must double our efforts. A promise to the Imperator is not one we take lightly.
- (Purify the black tide, optional)
- Hyacine: "Looks like that cured it, huh?"
- Anaxa: "To think such a tiny pathogen could spawn a calamity that engulfs the entire universe."
- Cipher: "No wonder. Look at what's in its belly... Demigods packed in like sardines in a can."
- (Approach the marked location)
- Gate of Infinity, Trianne: Now now, don't lose your temper, Snowy.
- Gate of Infinity, Trinnon: Good kids keep their emotions in check.
- Cipher: "That voice... It's the Tribbie sisters!"
- (Approach Trianne)
- Gate of Infinity, Trianne: Whoa! There's another one!
- Gate of Infinity, Trinnon: Over here, too...
- Cyrene: Lady Tribios?
- Gate of Infinity, Trianne: Wow! Y—You're Little Reney?
- Gate of Infinity, Trianne: You look so... grown-up all of a sudden!
- Gate of Infinity, Trinnon: She is not the Cyrene we remember...
- Gate of Infinity, Trinnon: She is the Demiurge, Titan of Genesis, the one destined to work miracles alongside the heroes.
- The miracle needs you too.
- Gate of Infinity, Trinnon: Yeah, and we are ready.
- Our assured victory is more than just a miracle.
- Gate of Infinity, Trianne: You're still as confident as ever, Little Gray!
- Gate of Infinity, Trinnon: But... Trianne and I can't leave just yet.
- Gate of Infinity, Trianne: You see, weird stuff keeps popping up everywhere!
- Gate of Infinity, Trinnon: These scattered scrolls are full of terrifying things. And they're all over the room.
- Gate of Infinity, Trianne: They're so scary, and so sad! Good thing Trianne's wings are amazing, or we would've been swallowed up!
- Gate of Infinity, Trinnon: We need to stay here and do our best to clean them up.
- Cyrene: Scrolls filled with horrifying content... (Trailblazer), shall we take a look?
Check the recollections and records about Phainon in the room
- Mydei: "There is no black tide here..."
- Mydei: "But it is a battlefield all the same."
- (Talk to Trinnon & Trianne, optional)
- Gate of Infinity, Trinnon: These scattered scrolls are full of terrifying things. And they're all over the room.
- Gate of Infinity, Trinnon: We need to stay here and do our best to clean them up.

Experimental Records of δ-me13 (Part III) - >>> Eternal Recurrence #33550336: Subject Khaslana launched its 33,550,304th attack on the Scepter's kernel. Instantaneous resonance of several hundred million Coreflames allowed it to briefly confront Nanook. Khaslana was detected clashing with other pathstriders of the Destruction in the Path Space, where it was defeated.
>>> Khaslana failed to load into the buffer. It used the Destruction to destroy its own data, creating a logic error in the "Worldbearing" path. Its purpose is unknown.
>>> Incomplete entity "Irontomb" has absorbed subject Khaslana. Rolling back extrapolation.
>>> Eternal Recurrence #33550337: Significant deactivation of the Destruction equation "black tide" detected. Assumed cause: Resistance from the absorbed subject Khaslana.
>>> Subject Khaslana's "hatred" of the Destruction is suppressing the iterative process of "Irontomb." Administrator intervention required.
- Gate of Infinity, Trianne: Snowy's been fighting this whole time. He doesn't want to be consumed by Irontomb and turned into an agent of Destruction.
- Gate of Infinity, Trinnon: But the strength behind his resistance comes from the same hatred...
- Cyrene: To be a flame is to burn. It is simply in Phainon's nature.
- Cyrene: But it was Remembrance that drove him to shine with golden light, piercing the unfathomable darkness.
- (Interact with the Fragments of Recollection)
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: Who...
- Cyrene: Ms. Audata and... Mr. Hieronymus?
- They're Phainon's parents from Aedes Elysiae...?
- Why are they here?
- "Zandar": "NeiKos496, still resisting?"
- "Zandar": "Command: Inject interference to redirect decision logic. Signal simulation: Parental figures."
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: That tin man is one sneaky jerk.
- Audata?: It's time to move on, my child. Let go of your anger, and listen to reason.
- Audata?: That god created us, and then cast us aside. Shouldn't they be punished for that?
- Audata?: The cold, indifferent cosmos has never shown mercy to Amphoreus. Why would you burn for it, only to... turn to ash?
- Hieronymus?: Child, you've chosen the wrong enemy. Your birth was meant to be the greatest destiny. You were to liberate the universe, like the blazing sun at the end of the long night.
- Hieronymus?: And yet, you led yourself into a trap of futility, treating your very purpose as your sworn enemy...
- Hieronymus?: Is that not a tragedy in itself?
Bid farewell to the two avatars of Tribios, Gate of Infinity, and venture deeper into the void
- (Talk to Trinnon & Trianne)
- Gate of Infinity, Trinnon: His inner struggle, and the Destruction breaking through... They're rising to the surface.
- Gate of Infinity, Trianne: If those thoughts take over this little world, we're in big trouble!
- Gate of Infinity, Trinnon: So, we'll use the Century Gate to toss them somewhere no one can see.
- Gate of Infinity, Trianne: Then, we'll defeat the baddies together, and meet everyone at the end of the west wind.
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: But if Phainon and Irontomb are already inseparable from each other, that would mean...
- Cyrene: It means he's still bearing the weight of the world.
- Cyrene: So that everyone can reach the end as a Deliverer.
- Gate of Infinity, Trianne: So, you guys keep going forward and down, to where Snowy is.
- See you on the battlefield.
- See you tomorrow.
- Gate of Infinity, Trianne: Hehe, Little Gray, this time, let's give it everything we've got!
Find the other half of the Worldbearing mark
- Step DescriptionWishes are but a part of the Deliverer's obsession. During our journey deep into the ruin, we reunited with other companions such as Cerydra, Hysilens, Trianne, and Trinnon. Each Chrysos Heir witnessed Phainon's solitary defiance along the way, and they transformed without hesitation into memories that walk with us, only to be able to fight alongside the Deliverer.
- Mydei: "Only two remain on this Flame-Chase Journey."
- Cipher: "Figures. They're always leading from the front line."
- (Approach the marked location)
- Anaxa: "We're here. The second test site."
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: I wonder what kind of "wish" we'll see this time...
- Anaxa: "I'm afraid it's quite the opposite."
- Anaxa: "This time, we'll face his despair."
- Despair?
- Anaxa: "That's right. You'll have to walk this path too."
- So, I need to walk this path too?
- Anaxa: "What, are you afraid?"
- Cyrene: The other half of the weight of Worldbearing lies at the end of this path.
- Cyrene: Relax now, (Trailblazer). Take a deep breath.
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: Come on. Let's make it quick.
Initiate the ceremony and break the Despair of Worldbearing
- Start Trial
- Anaxa: "If you're ready, begin the ritual and retrace the steps he once took."
- Begin the ritual.
- Cyrene: Looks like we'll be walking through the darkness this time.
- Anaxa: "Exactly. It's no longer about mending broken wishes..."
- Anaxa: "But shattering the frozen despair."
Shatter the three parts of despair
Find the three Crystals representing "Despair" and break them in sequence to complete the trial.
Find the three Crystals representing "Despair" and break them in sequence to complete the trial.
This trial takes place in an area shrouded in darkness, with different space-time inside and outside the area. When a character crosses the boundary between lit and dark areas, they will teleport to the dark area on the opposite side.

Each time you break a Crystal, the boundary of the lit area shrinks. Use this property to complete the trial.
- (Cross the boundary of darkness)
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: Looks like the light's turning us away this time.
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: To bring the world its dawn is to dwell forever in the night.
- (Break the first Crystal)
- Break the Crystal of Despair
- Cyrene: The first ripple has faded...
- Cyrene: And so begins a long and arduous journey.
- (Break the second Crystal)
- Break the Crystal of Despair
- Mydei: "Endless slaughter... all for nothing."
- Cipher: "That's more than anyone should be made to suffer..."
- (Break the third Crystal)
- Break the Crystal of Despair
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: Even when it was finally over, all that remained in him... was "despair"?
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: But even so, the drop of blood wrung from his wrath has guided us here.
- (Trailblazer): (We did it, Phainon.)
Extinguish despair and take the other half of the Worldbearing mark
- Bear the Despair of Worldbearing
- Cyrene: The other half of Worldbearing...
- Cyrene: As promised, (Trailblazer), take it now.
- Bear the despair of Worldbearing.
- Anaxa: "At last, you've released him from the wishes he carried for so long."
- Anaxa: "And quenched the despair kindled by his wrath."
- Anaxa: "When both 'light' and 'shadow' are claimed by those who follow, his true form shall emerge..."
- Anaxa: "The 'blank statue'... is finally free."
- ???: ...
- Cyrene: That smiling child in the "memories"...
- Cyrene: Let him come with us, laughing to the very end.
- (Unlock Achievement Kephale Will Never Forget This)
- (Obtain
Despair of Worldbearing ×1)
Follow the "Blank Wish" to the spirit basin to dissolve the "Wish" and "Despair" of the Worldbearer.
- Step DescriptionDespair is another part of the Deliverer's obsession. Only by letting go of both the heavy wishes and burning despair can Phainon's own heart be set free.
- (Approach the marked location)
- Blank Wish: ...
- Blank Wish: ...
- Blank Wish: ...
- Blank Wish: ...
- (After traveling through Janus's Hidden Passage)
- Blank Wish: My wish...
- Blank Wish: Is to fulfill everyone else's wishes!
- (Investigate the spirit basin)
- Cyrene: This spirit basin marks the end of every cycle.
- Cyrene: It seems this gentle little world has come to the end of its purpose.
- Cyrene: One last farewell, before the journey moves on?
- Cyrene: Farewell, paradise. You carried thirty million lifetimes of "wishes" and "despair"...
- Cyrene: Sink into gentle "remembrance," and see you tomorrow.
- Dissolve the "wishes" and "despair."
- Cyrene: From now on, the world no longer needs a tomorrow promised by prophecies.
- Cyrene: And the wish Phainon could never find and call his own...
- Cyrene: Someone's finally stepped into its shadow.
- Blank Wish: Whoa...
- Blank Wish: So tall, so cool! Just like the "hero" on the oracle cards!
- Lycurgus: Heh...
- Lycurgus: It's because he is the very embodiment of a "hero."
- Blank Wish: Hmm... Who are you?
- Lycurgus: So, you've returned to a "blank space."
- Lycurgus: But for me, this is the 33,550,337th time, and the last time, that I meet you at the end of the world.
- Lycurgus: They're already on their way. Should they cross paths with me... I imagine things may spiral out of control.
- Blank Wish: Thirty million... what? And who are "they"?
- Lycurgus: Pay it no mind, child. Keep looking there... What do you see in him?
- Blank Wish: Mmm...
- Blank Wish: It looks like just a statue, but...
- Blank Wish: It's weird... He's warm. Like, really warm.
- Lycurgus: Why not listen as well?
- Blank Wish: Um... I hear something...
- Blank Wish: There are cracks all over him... and they're making this sound... like someone's groaning. It's scary.
- Blank Wish: Is he... Is he gonna fall apart?
- Lycurgus: How unfortunate, child.
- Lycurgus: This man would rather fall to pieces than fall to his knees.
- Lycurgus: You might think of me as... a sculptor. Across all my years, I only completed two pieces.
- Lycurgus: Others may call them "masterpieces." But only I know how many regrets they truly hold.
- Blank Wish: Regrets?
- Lycurgus: My first creation left me long ago. This second one... it was meant to be perfect.
- Lycurgus: I believed it with all my heart... until this very moment.
- Blank Wish: I don't get it. Are you saying you've changed your mind?
- Lycurgus: I won't change. But I'll admit this: Those twelve stones, unpolished as they are, are a thousand times more exquisite than any statue.
- Lycurgus: It's as if they are mocking me, a failed sculptor, whose touch can only diminish what was born to shine, until nothing remains.
- Lycurgus: Hehe, for the first time in my life, I've realized....
- Lycurgus: This vessel is merely an avatar made to contain the First Genius's "paranoia."
- Lycurgus: The seal etched into my mechanical core permits me to pursue only one purpose: Destruction.
- Blank Wish: ...
- Lycurgus: Compared to me, those twelve glowing, unrefined stones...
- Lycurgus: May have lived with more freedom than I ever had.
- Chrysalis of Gold, Aglaea: Is this your confession, Lord Lycurgus?
- Lycurgus: You misunderstand. From the very beginning, "I" was never meant to feel "regret."
- Chrysalis of Gold, Aglaea: But since you're troubled by the radiance of these stones...
- Chrysalis of Gold, Aglaea: Perhaps, after thirty million "futile" cycles, you too have realized... you're just as much a prisoner of fate.
- Lycurgus: I suppose you do have a point.
- Gate of Infinity, Tribios: Now, you are imprisoned by the sages from beyond the sky.
- Lycurgus: And that is why this will be my last time standing here as the Theoros.
- Chrysalis of Gold, Aglaea: Though we stand on opposite sides, we are both waiting for a miracle.
- Blank Wish: What are you talking about...?
- Blank Wish: Is something big about to happen?
- Gate of Infinity, Tribios: Agy...
- Chrysalis of Gold, Aglaea: I know.
- Chrysalis of Gold, Aglaea: Now that your victory is assured, I trust you won't mind giving us a moment in private?
- Lycurgus: Assured? Not quite. But I won't stay long. I'd rather not spoil the fun for those Deliverers...
- Lycurgus: And besides, after losing everything, the only thing that remains in me is the drive to "seek knowledge."
- Chrysalis of Gold, Aglaea: I pity you, Theoros.
- Lycurgus: I don't need your pity.
- Lycurgus: Farewell, Lady Goldweaver.
- Gate of Infinity, Tribios: Sorry to keep you waiting, Snowy.
- Gate of Infinity, Tribios: We're here to take you home.
- Blank Wish: Home?
- Blank Wish: I don't understand. Isn't this my home?
- Gate of Infinity, Tribios: This isn't a real home. A home should be a warm, cozy place where you can let go of all your burdens and sleep peacefully for a long, long time...
- Blank Wish: But I can't sleep.
- Blank Wish: Every time I feel drowsy, there's a voice.
- Blank Wish: "You mustn't sleep, or disaster will come." It sounds really weak, but also kinda strict...
- Chrysalis of Gold, Aglaea: It won't disturb your sleep anymore, child.
- Chrysalis of Gold, Aglaea: For countless nights, you had no other choice. But now, your mission has come to an end.
- Chrysalis of Gold, Aglaea: Join us, and send your own wish towards tomorrow.
- Blank Wish: ...
- Blank Wish: My wish... what could it be?
- Chrysalis of Gold, Aglaea: You don't have to come up with an answer right now, child.
- Chrysalis of Gold, Aglaea: Grown-ups often think duty and ideals are wishes. But a true wish... should be the purest, most beautiful thing of all.
- Chrysalis of Gold, Aglaea: It can only take form in the hands of someone who is truly free.
- Blank Wish: ...
- Gate of Infinity, Tribios: So, Snowy...
- Gate of Infinity, Tribios: Will you come with us to chase after your own wish?
- Blank Wish: ...
- Blank Wish: I... I want to leave this place.
- Blank Wish: I want to... go find it!
- Gate of Infinity, Tribios: I'm glad to hear it.
- Chrysalis of Gold, Aglaea: The final Flame-Chase Journey, just like the thirty million before it...
- Chrysalis of Gold, Aglaea: Take our hands, and come with us.
Talk to Blank Wish and send the Worldbearer's wishes to tomorrow
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: Where did little Phainon's shadow run off to?
- Cyrene: Look!
- Cyrene: He's already gone ahead to embrace his destiny.
Gather the "Last Titans" and prepare to face Irontomb
- Cipher: "We really took the long way around."
- Hyacine: "Well, now everyone's here."
- (Approach Aglaea)
- Chrysalis of Gold, Aglaea: You've finally arrived, Deliverers.
- Gate of Infinity, Tribios: Long time no see, everyone.
- You don't usually look this relaxed, Aglaea.
- Chrysalis of Gold, Aglaea: I'm glad to hear that.
- I missed you, Lady Tribbie.
- Gate of Infinity, Tribios: We miss you too, (Trailblazer)!
- Gate of Infinity, Tribios: And... even though we've met before, it's still moving to see her "seed" bloom like this.
- Chrysalis of Gold, Aglaea: Woven from Remembrance, this garment gleams so brilliantly...
- Chrysalis of Gold, Aglaea: Just like the "future" we will now weave together for Amphoreus.
- Cyrene: We've reached the end.
- Gate of Infinity, Tribios: Yeah, we just have to go through the final Passage.
- Gate of Infinity, Tribios: Snowy... has already gone ahead.
- Cyrene: What lies behind that door?
- Mydei: "The first seal upon Irontomb was a battlefield, raised from the bones of Phainon himself."
- Cipher: "The second seal was a reflection of his inner desires, his 'wishes' and his 'despair.'"
- Castorice: "A path he wove together with regret, wrath, and sighs...."
- Hyacine: "When all of this is gone, what will he have left to hold back the Destruction?"
- Anaxa: "The answer is all but revealed."
- Gate of Infinity, Tribios: His traces are everywhere. You can even hear distant heartbeats, but one thing is missing...
- Chrysalis of Gold, Aglaea: His... "sense of self."
- (Trailblazer): The world believed Kephale had long since perished. But they held fast, anchored by a sliver of "self," standing for a thousand years to shelter all life from the black tide.
- (Trailblazer): What Phainon is doing now is no different.
- (Trailblazer): And what we must do is also no different.
- Cyrene: Then let Remembrance burn bright like a shooting star, and once more, pierce the long night of slumber.
Travel with Cyrene to the depths of the ruins.
- (Talk to Tribios and Aglaea, optional)
- Chrysalis of Gold, Aglaea: What follows is a battle that will decide the fate of the stars...
- Gate of Infinity, Tribios: Riding the west wind, let's all head out together!
- (Talk to Cyrene)
- Cyrene: Take a moment to gather yourself. Once you take this step, there's no turning back.
- Let's go. It's time for the decisive battle.
- I'm not ready yet...
- Cyrene: It's all right. I'll wait for you. We all will.
- Chrysalis of Gold, Aglaea: ...
- Chrysalis of Gold, Aglaea: The scepter once bestowed upon us names of cold command.
- Gate of Infinity, Tribios: The prophecy spoke of our unchanging fates, time and time again.
- Cyrene: But under the pens of Trailblazing and Genesis, the stars shall thus sing of tomorrow...
- Cyrene: "Tribios, Holy Child of Passage..."
- Cyrene: "Aglaea, Weaver of Romance..."
- Aglaea: "At the journey's end, they shall bathe in gold once more..."
- Tribbie: "Through myriad passages, until all that was lost is reclaimed."
- Cyrene: Do you still remember, Khaslana, the one who won't reach the dawn?
- Cyrene: The world dissipates at the end of the cycle. In this dream, you will awaken again, and become once more that boy who loved to laugh.
- Cyrene: But if you open your eyes and look back on yesterday, you'll see destiny's footprints, clear as day.
- Cyrene: At last, the raging fire of "hatred" is swept away by a breeze...
- Cyrene: Leaving only "love" to remember the passage of time.
- (Cutscene begins)
-
- Cyrene: Losses are a constant on the Flame-Chase journey
- Cyrene: But even if all is lost to the wind...
- Cyrene: Memory endures.
- Tribios & Aglaea: Here, all that was once futile finally comes to fruition...
- Tribios & Aglaea: This is the end of your lonely, bitter journey.
- (Cutscene ends)
Delve into the Ruins of Time and reach the Scepter's core
- Mission DescriptionAccompanied by the Chrysos Heirs, we finally reached the deepest part of the ruins, where Phainon's heroic soul guards the cataclysmic fire of the Destruction. As the blank wish is transformed through fire into the will to bear the world, we shall finally bring release to Khaslana and inherit his responsibility and final wish: to defeat Irontomb, help Amphoreus, and save even the entire cosmos.
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: The Scepter's mainframe, and Irontomb's breeding ground...
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: We're finally seeing its true form.
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: It's red everywhere, and the atmosphere is super creepy...
- Screwllum: That would be the Erudition's coldness.
- Screwllum: But it will soon be engulfed by the Destruction's heat.
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: Mr. Screwllum!
- Herta: This world's insides are finally connected to the outside. This is the moment when Amphoreus is closest to the cosmos.
- Herta: Nicely done, little ones.
- Screwllum: With Stephen Lloyd and his hacker friends here, the Scepter's block protocol will no longer take effect.
- Screwllum: The speed of time within Amphoreus has finally been synced with that of the real universe.
- Herta: In other words, it's time for the decisive battle.
- The fate of the cosmos hangs in this battle.
- (Trailblazer): We will guide the fate of the cosmos onto the right track.
- Herta: That's the spirit. Remember to keep at it. You lot are the vanguards of this battle. Everyone's watching.
- Let's each do our duty. We've got this.
- (Trailblazer): Let's each do our duty. We've got this. Victory belongs to the Cosmic Alliance!
- Herta: Wow. You're good at this. You lot are the vanguards of this battle. Everyone's watching.
- Are we in "star wars"...?
- (Trailblazer): Are we finally getting an intergalactic warfare arc? That's my favorite!
- Herta: You're still in the mood to crack jokes? We would have won way sooner if everyone were as optimistic as you.
- Screwllum: There's one more thing that everyone should know...
- Screwllum: Nous has cast THEIR gaze upon Amphoreus.
- Screwllum: The calculated Instant is coming. The outcome of this battle will become a new anchor for the Erudition's computations.
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: THEIR gaze didn't overload the Scepter?
- Screwllum: Unfortunately, we have to go with this reasonable assumption: The birth of Irontomb had always been within that Aeon's calculations.
- Cyrene: But don't worry...
- Cyrene: The one miracle that Amphoreus was never short on is "defeating destiny," no?
- The Trailblaze will determine the outcome's meaning.
- That is what a variable is for.
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: Yup. Let's show the Aeon how powerful we are!
- Herta: Good luck, all of you.
- Screwllum: As the ruler of Planet Screwllum, I wish all of you: victory.
- Himeko: It's not hard to imagine that Akivili and THEIR companions must've also stood on the precipice of many similar crises before...
- Himeko: Perhaps the cosmos is much more fragile than people think. Sometimes, destiny hinges on only a small choice.
- Black Swan: But in the end, everything will turn into "memories," converging into a collection of fables about the stars.
- Black Swan: The difference this time is that the protagonists are daring to write their own stories.
- Himeko: Explore, understand, establish, and connect... Although unwritten, there's actually a fifth word in the creed that has always accompanied the Nameless.
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: "Salvation."
- Himeko: It is a word that often comes knocking at our door, and our softhearted conductor never turned anyone down.
- Himeko: So, go save this bruised and battered world just as we always have, kids. On this stop...
- Himeko: The entire cosmos will be your travelling companion.
- Cyrene: Make sure you watch your footing, (Trailblazer).
- Cyrene: Let us walk through the final page of this saga with everyone one step at a time, shall we?
Awaken Phainon's heroic soul and become tomorrow's heroes together
- (Approach the Hidden Passage)
- Cipher: After running all around the place, we're finally making big strides!
- Castorice: At the end of time, life will illuminate the warm candlelight, subduing the flames of the Destruction.
- Mydei: Cast everything behind you. All that's left is a thrilling, relentless deathmatch!
- Anaxa: The final problem no longer requires a rational solution. Feel free to critique it to your heart's content.
- Hyacine: The starry sky marred by that rift is the last scar that needs to be healed.
- Cerydra: That Theoros's promise still turned out to be such a narrow road. Pity.
- Hysilens: There is no longer any need for songs. Let the triumphant roar of victory serve as the prelude to what lies ahead.
- Tribbie: With thirty million cycles worth of hope, we will soar through the last gate and write our own prophecy!
- Aglaea: All that is lost has now been gathered here. Use it to weave victory, Deliverers...
- Aglaea: Towards the true end of the Flame-Chase.
- (Approach the marked location)
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: The Destruction's placenta is getting restless...
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: Again and again, Phainon launched his attack against the Scepter alone.
- Cyrene: But this cycle...
- Throne of Worlds, (Trailblazer): We've caught up to him.
Free the obsession of Worldbearer and promise the salvation of the Trailblaze
- (Approach Blank Wish)
- Blank Wish: ...
- Throne of Worlds, (Trailblazer): Phainon.
- Throne of Worlds, (Trailblazer): Do you remember the promise we made back then?
- I'm here to fulfill it.
- The dawn is about to rise.
- We will save the world.
- Blank Wish: ...
- Blank Wish: Of course. It has been a bitter wait, partner.
- Blank Wish: But I never forget what set me on this path.
- Blank Wish: "Irontomb" now trembles in "Phainon's" chest. With this empty body, I have become its perfect vessel...
- Blank Wish: And its destined casket.
- Blank Wish: You know what to do, partner.
- No need to keep testing my resolve.
- Amphoreus is prepared.
- I'll take up the torch of your resistance.
