Story

The offer

Sataloca's power is easy to see--just look at the Acheron Drakes and you can't deny it.

Acheron Drakes are not living creatures, you know. They were created by Sataloca--even though nothing remains of him save his heart.

He doesn't even need his body for such feats! What a disaster if he were to resurrect....

  • "A disaster indeed! What's to be done?"

We need to study the Acheron Drakes if we're to really understand what Sataloca is capable of.

If we can figure out how he made them, and how they work, then we'll have a much better idea--and also know better how to combat his power.

We need only to obtain materials worth studying.

  • "What kind of materials?"

Drake Horns. Drake Horns from the Acheron Drakes--if you could bring them back here for study, we'd learn so much.

The horns seem to be important--I suspect they're sensors, receiving commands from Sataloca.

By analyzing them, we may find their weakness and Sataloca's...then we can destroy his heart, preventing Sataloca from ever resurrecting. Will you go?

  • Accept.
  • Decline.

That will be such a help. Three Drake Horns should be enough for my research.

You won't need to go far--they tend to stay around Sataloca's Tomb. I'll analyse them when you bring them back, and probably send a sample to Sanctum.

Quick now. We need to get this taken care of.

  • "On my way."

Journal

Defeat Acheron Drakes, collect their Drake Horns, and take them to Radamanthys.

Along the way

I watched you out there--you really are as good as they say.

Did you remember the Drake Horns?

  • "Here they are."

I was worried that you got carried away in the hunt....

I don't mind that you take pleasure in the job, but you should not forget what you set out for.

Go back and get the Drake Horns.

  • "I'll be back soon."

Reward

Thank you, Daeva. We'll be able to study the Acheron Drakes and surely find a way to eliminate them now.

I will never forget your help.

Completion

In order to destroy Sataloca's Heart forever, Radamanthys needed to study the Acheron Drakes that it created.

You hunted Acheron Drakes and gave him their horns.
