Unlocking the Crypt Gate

Enter the Realm of Piercing Winds through The Breathing Chasm.

Activate the first Sacred Grove in The Breathing Chasm to reveal the map.

To start the 'Reap or Weep' side quest, find the large creature in the northeast section of The Breathing Chasm and retrieve its lost eyes from a hidden cave near the northwestern Sacred Grove. Loot the Bear Skull Totem along the way. Talk to the Moose spirit for a Teardrop point. Return the eyes to complete the quest and receive the Opal Totem.

To start the 'Two-Headed Spear' hidden side quest, go to the third Sacred Grove in the southwest of The Breathing Chasm and read the inscription on the rock. Find the two Spear Head quest cards: one near the nest at the zone entrance, and another below the northwestern Sacred Grove. Use one Spear Head card in battle, then combine it with the other to create the Two-Headed Spear. After a battle, interact with the inscription rock again to enter a cave, defeat the Elder Spirit encounter, and receive three Teardrop upgrade points.

Enter The Hidden Vale from the southwest Sacred Grove of The Breathing Chasm. Navigate the lower path, avoiding the Elder Spirit encounter initially.

Activate the first Sacred Grove in The Hidden Vale to reveal the map.

To start 'The Laughing Face of Death' side quest, rest at the Sacred Grove in The Hidden Vale. Interact with the revived Spirit multiple times until it jumps off the cliff.
