Walkthrough

1
Enter the Everfall via the Pawn Guild entrance.
2
Find Quince near the metal bowl on the 'Exit' platform.
3
Talk to Quince and give her 20 Wakestones. She will warn you that there is no turning back.
4
After a cutscene, jump into the rift. You will earn the 'Freedom' Achievement/Trophy.
5
Approach the golden figure on the throne – the Seneschal.
6
After a cutscene, fight the Seneschal. This fight is not difficult and primarily involves dodging beams of light. The fight continues until the Seneschal finishes speaking.
7
After the first defeat, a cutscene plays, and a second round of conflict begins.
8
Upon the Seneschal's second defeat, it will appear at the end of a rift-funnel with an offer: claim your prize as an Arisen or turn back for a merciful death.
9
Choosing to turn back leads to Cassardis, the 'Peace' Achievement/Trophy, and a game-over.
10
To continue, head towards the Seneschal. You will encounter important NPCs who will attack you. Your romantic partner will be the last.
11
Reach the Seneschal, who reveals itself as Savan. Savan summons his Pawn, and your Pawn is summoned.
12
Fight Savan and his Pawn. Savan is a Fighter and uses beams of force. If you lose, you will become a Dragon, earning the 'Servitude' Achievement/Trophy.
13
Focus on Savan's Pawn first, then Savan.
14
When Savan's health is depleted, he will use an area-of-effect burst. Stay away from him. Your Pawn must grab Savan for the fight to end. Then, land the finishing blow as the Arisen.
15
After Savan falls, he reappears enthroned and apologizes. He explains that the trials were a test to find a replacement Seneschal.
16
Savan offers you the Godsbane Blade and asks for release.
17
Approach Savan and choose to 'Wield the Godsbane Blade' to kill him and take his place as Seneschal. You will earn the 'Mercy' Achievement/Trophy.
18
As the new Seneschal, you can oversee creation. Sitting on the throne teleports you to Cassardis. Leaving the city gate returns you to the rift, and sitting on the throne again transports you to a restored Gran Soren.

Tips

Bring Potent Greenwarish, Large Mushrooms, and spare Wakestones for the Rift trials.
The Seneschal and Savan fights are designed to be difficult to lose, but losing has its own consequences.
Be patient with your Pawn during the final fight with Savan, as they need to perform a specific action to progress.

Giving Quince twenty Wakestones: 75,000 XP, 100 Rift Currency.
Freeing Savan from the cycle: 90,000 XP, 100 Rift Currency.
