The Flickering Light Splits in Twain Walkthrough

Return to the Inn to Rest

Head back down the Weary Inn inside the Stadium where you will be resting with Paimon. Suddenly there will be noises outside that prompts you to go outside and have a look!

Go to the Stadium and Talk to Mavuika

Head towards the outdoors to the center of the Stadium and discuss the matters of the situation with Mavuika, Chasca, and the others. After the short meeting, head upstairs and talk with Mavuika.

Destroy the Abyssal Pylon

Mavuika then implores you to go to the Children of Echoes to ward off the abyss army, so head east towards the entrance of the Natlan region, then after some quick huddles with the gang, head straight to the caravan where you will encounter Rifthounds and an Abyssal Pylon.

Your main objective is to focus on attacking the Abyssal Pylon while being surrounded by the Abyssal Rifthounds and Saurians. The bar that shields the Pylon will go up until it reaches max, and when it does, will allow you to reduce its HP.

Fortunately, trail characters for Xilonen, Mualani, and Kachina are there to assist you. Xilonen's Elemental Burst is a healing ability, so if you need emergency healing, save it until then!

Return to the Speaker's Chamber

Once the Abyssal Pylon is destroyed, head back towards the Children of Echoes, then report back to Mavuika inside the Speaker's Chamber. The entrance of the room is just beside the southern teleport waypoint.

After a short discussion, the scene shifts to Chasca and Chuychu's perspective of a recent memory. Pay attention to the following scene as the game becomes a cinematic minigame with a surprise but simple quick-time event.

Quick-Time Events

1 When Chuychu gives the thumbs up and Chasca exclaims "Now!" - Go.
2 "Not sure how many chances I'm gonna get. I need to act" - Jump down.

Bid Farewell to Chasca and Chuychu

Meet with Chasca and Chuychu outside the northern exit of the Stadium to say farewells for now.

After some quick contemplations, Citlali will return to the scene with you. Witness the next series of cutscenes as she taps inside the memories of Ororon and the Captain!
