How to start the mission “Cataclysm’s Quickening”
Before you can take on this mission, you will have to meet a number of conditions, which include:
- Reach at least Adventure Rank 40. In separate material We have made several recommendations to increase this parameter.
- Complete the previous Archon quest called "To the Shining of the Stars in the Deep".
When you deal with the requirements discussed above, you should automatically begin the corresponding quest. It will appear in your mission log - open it by pressing the "J" key, and then select the desired mission and start tracking it. If for some reason this does not happen, then try logging out of your account, wait 20-30 minutes and re-enter the game.
Into the Deepwater Murk
Continue your research
The next morning, go down to the dining floor and explore the three areas shown on the map. First, approach the group of people standing next to the tables. Listen to what the prisoners are talking about.
Then go into the zigzag corridor and approach the two guys near the wall - chat with them. You will learn from them about a scientist named Jurieu and the girl Lurvin.
Now go to the last place to explore. There you will come across Baviglier. You will learn from him that Wriothesley was also a prisoner in the past.
Find Lyney in the production area
Take the lift down to get to the parts processing workshop. Then go to the top floor of the production area using another elevator. Upon entering the site, turn right and approach Lyney, who stands next to the production mechanism.
Next, watch a long video that takes place in the infirmary. After its completion, return to the barracks. Watch another cutscene in which 9 days will fly by. The quest will come to an end, and you will be rewarded with 775 adventure points, 34 thousand mora, 3 hero experience and 6 magic ore enhancements.
The Truth Shrouded in Shadow
Find clues in the infirmary
You will automatically be transported to the production workshop. Go to the marked area to trigger a cutscene with the magician. After talking with him, return to the infirmary, where there will be no one, so you will need to look for clues.
- Examine the books on the table on the left side.
- Examine the bed in the middle.
- Metal sheet hidden behind boxes.
After studying all the clues, watch the new video in which Lyney will panic and run to Wriothesley. Go down to the dining room level and go to the door leading to the Duke's office. Go inside and listen to the conversation Lyney and Wriothesley.
How to answer Wriothesley questions correctly
You will ask the Duke to release Lynette and Freminet. He will agree to fulfill your request if you answer his three questions honestly. After this, you will switch to evidence selection mode:
- “What happens if you break a secret rule on the production floor?” – select the “Strange Meat” clue.
- “Who will know if you work without a break?” – select the evidence “Observing the workers Sidzhvin”.
- “Why does the strange meat look like this?” – select the evidence “Melusines perceive the world completely differently from people.”
- “Under what circumstances does strange meat appear?” – select the evidence “Half an hour before lunch, Sijwin is never in the infirmary.”
The second secret rule states that in pankration you cannot support two fighters at the same time by betting on both. Why? Select evidence again:
- “What happens if you break the secret rule of pankration?” – select the evidence “Parcel with a strange blood-colored liquid.”
- “Who sent the package with the strange blood-colored liquid?” – select evidence “According to Collins, pankration tournaments are held only thanks to Fonta company.”
- “Why do only those who simultaneously bought tickets for the victory of both fighters receive the package?” – select the evidence “Fonta’s promoter constantly fails due to the fact that he undervalues premium coupons.”
- “Why does the strange blood-colored liquid look like this?” - select evidence "Fonta's internal reports show the company is beginning a trial of an as-yet-unnamed, unpackaged product."
After a short introduction, chat with two groups of people: Lyney, Sijwin and Freminet; Wriothesley and Clorinda.
Return to the infirmary and talk to Freminet
Go to the infirmary, located on the same level as the barracks, and then talk with Freminet. He will begin to tell you what happened to him in the pipeline. Moreover, you will see the story from his point of view.
Find evidence related to Childe
Taking control of Freminet, go down to the very bottom, and then go through the huge round door. Approach the mechanism on the right and activate it to lower the platform. Move forward to the next device and spin it to rotate the pad. Then start climbing the stairs, going left.
Having risen, do not rush to interact with the first mechanism - instead, turn the second device on the right side in order to change the angle of the platform. Now you can activate the first “Handwheel” to raise the platform upward. Next, just follow it to the round passage and jump into the hole ahead.
Continue forward and then dive into the water. Swim through the tunnel until you reach a dead end. Then watch the video. Next, try to return to the shore and watch another cut-scene where Clorinda will come to your aid.
You will soon return to the infirmary. Talk to Lyney again. This will complete the task, and you will receive as a reward 1275 adventure points, 30 primogems, 55 thousand mora, 5 hero experience and 10 magic ore enhancements.

Return to Wriothesley private office, the entrance to which is located on the same level as the dining room. Go up the spiral staircase and chat with Clorinda and the warden there. Ask the latter all the questions that interest you.
Next, start following Wriothesley. Go downstairs, and then go along the stairs to the secret basement. Use the lift to go even lower. Once below, interact with the mechanism near the huge door. Go even further and watch a short video in which many of Meropid's secrets will be revealed.
Then Wriothesley will show you a giant ship, which, according to his idea, should save the Fontaines from an impending disaster. This will bring the task to an end. As a reward, you will receive 850 adventure points, 37 thousand mora, 3 hero experience and 7 magic ore enhancements.

Return to the infirmary and go to the cafeteria
After talking with Wriothesley , return to the infirmary and your friends. Talk to them and tell them everything you found out. Then head to the local diner and have lunch With You Sijwyn.

Go to the restricted area
The next morning the evacuation of the fortress will begin. Go downstairs and enter the Duke's office. Next, go to the restricted area by walking along the spiral staircase and using the lift. Then watch the spectacular video.
