Bestower of Fame Questline Walkthrough

Sacred Ashes Walkthrough

Quest Objectives

1
Head to Atlasdam
Fast travel to Atlasdam and go to the library within the Atlasdam Palace Gate area.
2
Head to Atlasdam Palace
Atlasdam Palace is just north of the library. Go back outside then follow the middle path until you trigger a cutscene at the main gate.
3
Speak to Princess Mary
Enter Atlasdam Palace and go to the second floor room on the right side to find Princess Mary and obtain The Legend of Saint Odypus quest item.
4
Speak to Headmaster Yvon
Exit the palace and enter the academy on the right side, just across the library, to find Headmaster Yvon on the second floor. After the cutscene that follows, you will obtain The Three Flames.
5
Head to the library
Return to the library for another cutscene where you read the content of The Accursed Night and review what you have learned so far by answering three questions. You'll loop back to the same options if you picked the wrong answer, so it's okay to just take guesses.

The correct answers are:
1. The Lanthorn
2. Black
3. Divine ring & blood
6
Go to the location identified on the map
Go back outside and walk towards the center for a forced battle against two Elite Black Scarlet. Both minibosses are weak to Spears, Staves, Fans, Ice, and Dark.
7
Head to Flamesgrace
Open your map and fast travel to Flamesgrace, located northwest of Atlasdam, then head to the Flamesgrace Cathedral and talk to Pontiff Julius once again.
8
Speak to Rondo
Rondo can be found outside the cathedral, but before you speak to him, make sure you're fully prepared for three consecutive minibosses.
9
For the first miniboss, you'll be up against another Monster (Man). Like in the battle against him in the previous quest, he is weak to Daggers, Bows, Staves, Fire, and Light and can increase his Phys. Atk. per turn starting on Turn 6, so you'll have to break or defeat him as soon as possible.
10
Next up is a Monster (Woman), a miniboss that you've also fought in the previous quest. She is weak to Swords, Spears, Tomes, Ice, and Light and can raise her Speed per turn at the start of Turn 6.
11
The last miniboss for this quest is a Monster (Black Scarlet). This miniboss can mutate and change its weaknesses each time it is broken.

It is weak to Polearms, Bows, Tomes, and Fans, which are all physical attacks, by default. Once you get the "The Black Scarlet's body is mutating...", it will remove its weaknesses to the physical attack types and be weak to Fire, Lightning, Wind, and Light.

The third time the Black Scarlet mutates, it will change its weaknesses to Polearms, Bows, Tomes, Fire, and Lightning and prepare for a powerful move. Break all its Shield Points to interrupt the attack.
12
Head to the Altar
Return to the cathedral and approach the altar for a cutscene that ends with Sazantos leaving your party.
13
Head to the Cave of Origin
Exit Flamesgrace through the east path to reach Valley of the Flame. Simply cross the bridge until you enter the Path to the Cave of Origin.
14
Follow the winding path north and enter the Cave of Origin. Your objective is to find Ceraphina on the northern end of the cave and defeat the Guardian of the Tainted Flame that she summons.
15
The Guardian of the Tainted Flame is weak to Daggers, Axes, Staves, Ice, and Wind but can lock these weaknesses with its Dark Wisps. AoE attacks are recommended for this fight as you'll want to take out the Dark Wisps before they finish their countdowns.
