Stone of Seeking

You have uncovered information about Aratanosh, one of the last Elders, who was also a Master Crystalshaper. Valkoth and Semeneth will send you into the Fiery Rift to seek her, but first you must create a Stone of Seeking to assist you in your Transition.

NOTE - You may join the Dragon Crystalshaper school now, by talking to Aratanosh. The further quests are superfluous if this is your goal.

Quest Text[edit]

Semeneth tells you, 'A Stone of Seeking is no easy task, <player>. But, with it you will be able to Transition and travel through the Gate of Embers into the Fiery Rift.'

Semeneth tells you, 'Here, take this <player>. Use it to make a Stone of Seeking. You must then travel to the Island of Fire where there you will have to defeat the fire elemental known as Surtheim to obtain a sample of Fire Materia. Use caution, though, when facing Surtheim, for he is a formidable opponent indeed.'

You have received 1 Stone of Seeking (formula).

You have entered the Fiery Rift. Locate Aratanosh, but be careful to avoid the denizens of the Realm.

Aratanosh tells you, 'Stay clear, creature, or I will destroy you! Wait, you seem familiar somehow... Y-you... You are a... Dragon. Yes, a Dragon! What are you doing here?'

Aratanosh tells you, 'Looking for me? Truly? You were sent by the Council? I know nothing of this... Relstaroth... Balennos, you say? What- wait...'

Aratanosh tells you, 'Yes, the name rings true. It is as through a fog that my memory of him returns. Strong... Proud... *she smiles* Yes, I Remember now.'

Aratanosh tells you, '<player>, forgive me. This place is hard on memories from the Outside. The Transition, you see. Why are you searching for me? I cannot leave, the Guardian hunts me and I cannot allow it to enter the Prime.'

Steps[edit]

  • Use the formula given to you by Semeneth to create a Stone of Seeking. Remember, you must defeat Surtheim on the Island of Fire to obtain the Fire Materia needed. (You also require Focused Cerulean Azulyte Crystals (5 at optimum) and Pale Essence Orbs (2 at optimum).)
  • Enter the Fiery Rift. If you have not already done so, you must speak to Elder V'Tieru first before you can port to the Fiery Rift, for it is only he who can attune you to the Fiery Rift portal.
  • Locate and Speak with Aratanosh.
