To start the mission, players need to tell Issmi or Adeo that they are ready to go. Note that regardless of which side players are helping, the quest will be the same for both. |
|
| 5 | Reach the Hall of Reverence |
![]() Upon entering Brellach or Pinnacle Rock, players need to head west and follow the path through multiple metal doors leading to rooms with enemies.

|
![]() Upon entering the next room, players just have to follow the path ahead until they reach a large room where they will find Staada or Dylora imprisoned inside a small room covered with crystals. They can talk to Staada or Dylora through one of the openings to find out how to free her. She will say that the only way to break the barrier is to use a chime. |
|
![]() The chime is located just up the stairs that's between two stone busts. Players need to interact with it to ring it and free Staada. Once Staada or Dylora is free, players have to talk to her before proceeding with the quest. |

|
![]() Once the Wellspring is restored, Staada or Dylora and the other Golden Saints or Dark Seducers will appear in the room. The quest is completed after talking to Staada or Dylora. |
