I, Flame Bearer

	Objectives
1	Move the time to the next day between 08:00 and 12:00 and go to the Scions of the Canopy tribe's lower platform to the left, until you find the kids Toba and Huni and talk to them.
2	After talking to Toba and Huni, head further in the direction of the town center, where you will meet Thiago.
3	Head to the ruins east of the Scions of the Canopy Tribe, on the north side of Teticpac Peak. There you will have another, short cutscene with Thiago.
4	Defeat the Rifthounds found in the ruins to trigger the next cutscene.
5	Once the cutscene is done, step away from the mural until you get to the photo taking spot highlighted in gold. Interact with the prompt to enter photo-taking mode and snap a picture!
6	After taking the photo, head west to the river and cross the wooden bridge to find Thiago.
7	Go to the Teleport Waypoint south of the Scions of the Canopy tribe and head down the wooden walkway where you will find Matthias the Treasure Hoarder.
8	When Matthias runs away, you can indwell a Yumkasaur and use the coilgrass sigils that appear to catch up to him!
9	After a few more cutscenes, you'll reunite with Kinich. Head to the south side of the Scions of the Canopy, near the nests of Yumkasaurs, to continue talking to him.
10	Move the time forward until it's between 08:00 to 12:00 the next day and head to the underground Teleport Waypoint in Teticpac Peak where Kinich will be waiting somewhere behind you.
11	Defeat the Rifthounds that appear after the cutscene! In this part of the quest, you can use a Trial Kinich in battle.
12	Once you defeat the Rifthounds, a final cutscene will play out and end the subquest.

The Last Turnfire Night

	Objectives
1	Once you've settled your grievances with Enjou, wait til the next day (18:00 - 20:00) to officially and formally start the Turnfire Night ceremony.
2	After skipping to the following day, go to Elder Trinidad's home in the Scions of the Canopy. After talking to him head to the Turnfire Night venue. Keep in mind that you cannot change your party after going through this checkpoint, so make sure to bring a team with Pyro with you.
3	After heading to the venue, prepare to begin to the ceremony. Kinich will give you a map of the 9 Pillars you need to light, as you'll have to go through them in order. Afterwards, obtain the kindling to officially start the Turnfire Night Ritual.
4	To Light the PIllars of the Sacred Flame, you need to indwell on the nearby Yumkasaurus spiritsconce or use Kinich's ability to go from one pillar to another. There are a total of 9 Pillars, and you have to go through them in order, otherwise you'll have to redo the challenge.
5	From the first Pillar, immediately grapple on the first Coilgrass Sigil to your left to move to the second pillar. Do the same with the next sigil you see to reach the third pillar.
6	To reach the fourth pillar, you'll have to grapple on two Coilgrass Sigils. Remember to grapple on them in order, otherwise there's a chance that you'll miss lighting up the fourth pillar.
7	From the fourth pillar, grapple on the next two sigils to reach the fifth pillar. Kinich will remark that you're over halfway the ritual, so keep in this mind if you've lost count.
8	To reach the sixth pillar, grapple on the sigil next to the fifth pillar. From there, you can grapple onto the next two Coilgrass Sigils to reach the seventh pillar immediately.
9	Lastly, grapple on the last sigil you see to reach the eigth pillar. Doing so also reveals the path that leads to the last pillar you need to light. Simply walk towards the last pillar to complete the challenge!
10	After lighting all the Sacred Flame Pillars, go to the cave where the Mountain King slumbers, located underground, just past the canyon below the 9th pillar.
11	As you go deeper inside, you'll automatically light the braziers along the way, however you'll gonna have to Cleanse the Abyssal Power to light the last 6 braziers. You can cleanse the Abyssal Power, by indwelling on the spiritsconce, and hitting the purple orbs with the nearby Flamegranates.
12	After cleansing all abyssal power, step on the floating orange platform at the end, and using Kinich's ability or the Yumkasaur's, grapple on all the Sigils around the altar to light up the last torches. There are a total of 6 torches around the altar, so simply go around them one-by-one.
13	Once all torches have been lit up, a cutscene will play that effectively leads to battling a variant of the Gluttonous Yumkasaur Mountain King. Although, you don't have to completely defeat this boss, as another cutscene plays out after depleting its HP down to 10%.
14	Following the events from the Turnfire Night ritual, consult Chief Wayna about what happened after the ceremony. Then, find Kinich and talk to him to conclude his story quest!
