Story
The offer
Treasure hunters come here all the time, wanting the riches hidden in Eracus Temple Cavern, but the real treasure is the structure itself.
The only people making Kinah here are Soul Healers. The place is home for many dangerous creatures.
- "Easy wealth, eh?"
Many who go carelessly into the Temple are killed. That's why the Golden Bough was posted out here. Brigade General Castor built an Aetheric Field to control access to the temple.
Now we have fewer victims, but those who come to investigate the temple face a small challenge.
For access, they must pass a test the General established.
- "Let me guess...."
Oh, it’s easy... if you have the skills.
You need only hunt 5 Dune Basilisks and Stoneshell Ksellids.
It takes a strong hunter or fighter to survive that den of beasties.
There are more missions for you there. So, does your path lead you to the Temple, Daeva?
Do you want to take the test?
- Accept.
- Decline.
Well, let’s get you going, then!
Over there’s the Eastern Eracus Desert. You’ll find Dune Basilisks and Stoneshell Ksellids there.
Once you kill your quota of 5, Brigade General Castor will grant you access to the Eracus Temple Cavern.
- "Fine. Let's just do this."
Journal
The entrance to the Eracus Temple Cavern is barred by an Aetheric Field. You can only pass with Brigade General Castor’s permission. Prove yourself by defeating Dune Basilisks and Stoneshell Ksellids.
Along the way
What brings you here? Wait, I know the answer.
Who'd come here, other than for the Underground Temple?
And...there's Basilisk blood on your sleeve.
- "Yes, you guessed it."
Reward
You hunt well enough to allow you access to the Eracus Temple Cavern
But remember, it is a forbidding place. Be wary, and avoid going there alone if you can.
The monsters there are clever, powerful and many.
Completion
Since the Eracus Temple Cavern swarms with dangerous creatures, an Aetheric Field limits access to it.
As Tellarius ordered, you defeated Basilisks and Ksellids, passing the test for access to the temple.
