1. Crossing Point

1.1	Examine the Stone Tablet
1.1	After purifying the statue in the Cloister of Enlightenment, read the marked stone tablets in the room, one of them giving you the Thinning Blade questline and beginning Crossing Point.
1.2	Reveal the Secret of the Stone Tablet
1.2	Head to the Valley of Grief area to find the Spire of the Sun, the towering structure in the middle of the desert. Approaching the entrance of the Spire will transition you to the next quest.

2. Unwavering Steps

2.1	Go Through the Spire of the Sun to Enter the Abyss
2.1	Head east of the Spire to find a set of mirrors and a laser. Move the misaligned mirror to the corner so the laser reflects to the nearby mirror, then redirects southwest toward another mirror cluster.
2.2
2.2	Go to the mirrors south of the tower (where the laser is now pointing) and align them so the laser points toward the Spire’s entrance. There are four mirrors not currently in the beam that you must move to guide it correctly, starting with the pair next to each other in the corner.
2.3
2.3	Continue adjusting the remaining mirrors to direct the beam to the crystal toward the Spire. Once done, enter the tower and climb the spiral staircase. At each level, connect the laser to the mirror above to unlock the next staircase, then keep ascending.
2.4	Point the Laser to the Ceiling
2.4	At the highest point of the staircase, point the laser at the crystal hanging on the ceiling, which releases a final set of stairs for you to go up to the Abyss Gate.
2.5	Achieve Enlightenment
2.5	Now in the Nest of Valor of the Abyss, head on forward for a cutscene and mini-boss fight.
2.6	Defeat Goyen
2.6	Goyen is a tough boss, similar to fighting a larger Kliff. He uses a sword and shield and delivers quick, heavy-hitting attacks. Watch for when he jumps into the air and slams down for an AoE attack, and be ready to dodge whenever he leaps. Defeating him in the duel completes the quest.
