Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Enter the Realm of Piercing Winds through The Breathing Chasm. Fast travel to the northern Sacred Grove in the Meadows of Delusion and head north.

    To unlock the map of The Breathing Chasm, activate the first Sacred Grove located to the northeast. You will encounter Spirits along the way.

    Continue north to find and activate the Sacred Grove, revealing the zone's map.
  5. 5
    To start the 'Reap or Weep' side quest, head northeast to a small empty section marked with an X. Interact with the large creature that appears and agree to retrieve its lost eyes.
  6. 6
    The creature's eyes are in a hidden cave near the northwestern Sacred Grove. Take the upper path from the quest giver.

    Loot the 'Bear Skull Totem' from a nest along the upper path.
  8. 8
    Talk to the Moose spirit near the northwestern Sacred Grove to receive a free Teardrop point.

    Proceed down the passage next to the Moose and click on the rock to reveal the cave entrance.

    Navigate through the cave to find the 'Reaping Eye' quest item. You will be ambushed by enemies upon attempting to leave. If you struggle, discard the quest card and return later.
  11. 11
    After defeating the enemies, exit the cave and return to the quest giver to complete 'Reap or Weep' and receive the 'Opal Totem'.
  12. 12
    To start the 'Two-Headed Spear' hidden side quest, make your way to the third Sacred Grove in the southwest part of the map.

    Read the inscription on the rock to the left of the Sacred Grove, which mentions two pieces of a spear.

    Find the first 'Spear Head' quest card near the nest at the zone's entrance from The Meadows of Delusion.
  15. 15
    Locate the second 'Spear Head' quest card just below the northwestern Sacred Grove.
  16. 16
    After gathering both Spear Heads, enter any battle. On the first turn, use one Spear Head and combine it with the other to create the 'Two-Headed Spear'.
  17. 17
    Complete the battle. Return to the rock with the inscription and interact with it to fall into an underground cave, triggering an Elder Spirit encounter.
  18. 18
    Defeat the enemies in the cave to be transported back outside. The Two-Headed Spear will break. You will receive three Teardrop upgrade points as a reward.
Tips

  • 'Opal Totem' for completing 'Reap or Weep'.
  • Three Teardrop upgrade points for completing the 'Two-Headed Spear' side quest.
