Road to the Summit

Okay, where should I begin? No ordinary weapon can penetrate Diago's thick fur, not to mention the skin underneath. Only the magic material of the ancients can make a weapon powerful enough to kill that monster!

Rumor has it that the Ancient Flame--the gods' gift to mankind--is hidden somewhere on Mt. Eda.

We'll need its power to kill Diago, but I don't know where it is. Do you know anyone who knows about the ancient history of this mountain?

Oh, I forgot to tell you one thing.

Do you remember I gave you a ring? That ring is enchanted to bring you back to me anytime from anywhere. You came all this way to find me, and I don't want you to have to do that every time.

When you want to return to the refuge, use the magic gate over there. It'll instantly send you to the lower slopes of the mountain.

Wow, where did you hear about that? Most archaeologists don't even know about the flame.

The Ancient Flame is supposedly the first flame that the benevolent Goddess Renas gave our ancestors to save them from the cold. Some insist that the Ancient Flame is not actually material, but rather our knowledge of such tools. However, I'm more inclined to believe the former theory that it's a magical fire used by the ancient gods.

Well, its exact location is not recorded in any document, but I believe it's somewhere in the ruins on the peak of Mt. Eda.

You're very interested in the Ancient Flame, huh? I wish I could explore the ruins, but currently only the mercenaries participating in the war between the Trolls and the Ogres are allowed inside.
