Drop Down Deeper to the Nameless Ruins

After completing The Heavenly Stones' Debris, a big hole in the middle of the area will open. Before jumping down, make sure to get the Lumenstone Ore at the entrance!

You can also get a couple of Lumenspars on your way down.

Look for Clues Near the Dark Fog

After dropping down, approach the dark purplish dome in the middle of the area. You should see an Oozing Concretion bulb. Use your Lumenstone Adjuvant on it to uncover the Fatuus' Journal.
