Passage of the quest "Where Wherefore Did the Spiritstone Descend?"»
How to start a task
It starts automatically immediately after the mission is completed "Perils in the Dark". Next, you will need to chat with Zhi Qiong, who can be found in the southern part of the Nameless Ruins. She will be on top.
Then you will need to return to the camp With You the girl. If you have already unlocked the teleport in the right place, then just use it. Otherwise, take the road ahead. As soon as you get close to the tent, the screen will go dark. Then an adventurer will appear ahead - talk to her again.
Go to the gate and read the inscriptions
After talking with Zhi Qiong and Khedive, head to the Luminous Passages by following the marker. A zigzag road will lead there. First, jump into the hole and land on the very bottom to enter a new area with giant mushrooms. Now run forward. On the way, you can collect crystals and resources.
We advise you to also activate the teleport on the hill. Turn left and run into the cave. Run to a dead end where Zhi Qiong will be waiting for you. Chat with her. Then open the Achievement: Gate using the Stone Hall Key.
Continue research
Pass through the opened passage and move deep into the cave. Along the way, you'll find Luminous Ore and Fatui's Journal. Move on and deal with the slimes. You will find yourself in a spacious location. Plan down.
On the ground, Hydro Knight Rethel will be waiting for you. Deal with him using Cryo and Pyro attacks. It will drop an Orb of the Blue Depths. Run up to the fairy and start leading her to the marker. Keep moving forward, leading the spirit.
Bringing the fairy to the house, you will unlock the chest. Continue down the only path and up the stairs. You will be taken to a new open area. There will be a teleportation point on the left, and a strange stone tablet on the right. Approach her to start a new cutscene.
Purify the Elemental Reaction: Crystallize
To clear the huge Elemental Reaction: Crystallize in the center of the location, you will need to find and charge 5 mechanisms. Their location is shown on the map below. To power the devices, you will need to stand next to them and use your Lumenstone Adjuvant. Next, deal with the enemies that appear. The mechanism will be activated only after its energy scale reaches 100% (do not go far from the monument).
Note: Dark Wind Currents will emanate from the crystals. On them you can track the location of the mechanisms.
So, to find first mechanism go straight along the main road from the passage to the last location.
You will find second mechanism southwest of the southern teleportation point of the Luminous Passages. Here you will have to fight Hydro Herald of the Abyss.
Drop down to the area below the second device, and then glide west to find third mechanism. The device will be guarded by Electro and Cryo mages of the abyss. Pyro attacks work well against them. When you start charging the monument, a mud sludge will appear - destroy it with a luminiferous stone.
Return to the southern teleport, and then jump down to the lowest level and move to the southeast. Destroy the mud well and start charging fourth device. Rupture Hounds will attack you. Keep a good healer with you to resist the corruption.
Last fifth mechanism located on a hill to the west of the northern teleport. Follow the stone pillar through the archway and then destroy the mud well with the Adjuvant. Before that, we recommend that you kill the abyss mages located here, otherwise you will then have to simultaneously fight with two Pyros and one Hydro abyss mages. Cryo attacks work well against them.
A borehole will also appear regularly in this area, so constantly charge up your Lumenstone and get rid of the black goo. Don't forget to use food to heal and resurrect characters.
How to defeat the Haftwad worm
Now you will need to climb up to the crystal and hit it. Once in the right place, watch the new cutscene. At the end of the cutscene, a Ruin Serpent will appear. You will need to kill this monster.
Note that this is a weakened version of the boss, so the battle with him should not be difficult. He has high resistance to physical damage, but low protection to elements, so try to hit him with elemental attacks. When the Whirlpool appears, immediately run to the edge of the arena so that you don't get sucked into it.
At a certain point, the Ruin Serpent will begin to spin, gathering an energy sphere in the center. Then there will be a powerful explosion, and energy balls will begin to fall to the ground. If you stand on the edge of the battlefield, you can avoid damage. Try to also destroy mud holes so that the boss can't pick them up.
When the enemy has a little less than 10% health, a new cut-scene will start. In it, you will again see Yelan, who will help you by dropping the Elemental Reaction: Crystallize on the monster. Next, return to the camp of the geo-reconnaissance squad and chat with Zhi Qiong. After the conversation, return to the View from The Chasm’s Surface to Mu Ning.
After talking with him, the quest will come to an end. As a reward, you will receive 40 Source Stones, 350 Adventure Points, 30,000 Pestilence, 6 Enchant Magic Ore, and 3 Hero XP. You will also complete the "The Chasm Delvers" mission chain.
