They mention that Elly managed to track Bagot steps and found a route to the northern regions thanks to your help. You all decide to go to Varmundt's Mansion to meet with Elly. However, Suad cannot join as he has to coordinate a parliament meeting with Niren for peace between Grey Wolf Village and Rachel.
2. (move far from the spot to spawn the npcs) - Talk to Elly who explains her data collection when tracking Bagot. She says that he went to the northern regions and mentioned the legendary Jormungandr. The only northern continent associated with Jormungandr is Issgard. She also explains that the Illusion stole records from the aircraft that has sailed to Issgard. Elly is working on getting an Airship to navigate to Issgard but the technician, Ginger, reports that there is a wall around Issgard of high energy flow which blocks entry. Crux advises to seek help from royal family. The Gaebolg family would have information on Jormungandr.
3. - Talk to Crux to head back to Prontera Castle with Lazy while Elly and Ginger will address the airship.
4. - Talk to Crux and Nyhill. Nyhill recaps that Gaebolg family were cursed by Jormungandr. When the Jormungandr Church vanished from Midgard, not everyone died and disappeared. Instead, the former followers were trapped in a land of ice beyond the sea and the land was sealed by an unknown force where guardians protected the seal. Nyhill mentions that some members of the Gaebolg family once traveled to and from Issgard. The queen, Catherine D. Gaebolg, arrives to give further explanation. She mentions that Tristan III has three sisters, two of which resides in Issgard who were entrusted to find a way to break the curse of Jormungandr. Nyhill mentions that permission is required to enter Issgard and asks you for your reason to enter. You tell Nyhill the story of Illusion and Nyhill agrees with your agenda to stop it. He tells that he can write a special invitation letter.
5. (use normal walk to approach the spot to spawn the npcs) - Talk to Nyhill at his desk. Nyhill explains that the ordinary-looking book on his desk is a Guardian's Box. Opening the cover reveals a void in the book which blesses any letter inside of it by the Guardians. Only direct descendants of the seven royal families can use it. The box was left by the First Tristan Gaebolg. Nyhill writes and gives you and your friends a Guardian's Invitation. You are then teleported back to Varmundt's Mansion.

8. - Talk to Ginger on the airship and give her your invitation. Ginger examines the letter and detects a specific wavelength code emitting from the invitation.
9. - Talk to Lehar and your friends. Lehar introduces himself as a member of the St. Capitolina Abbey. His mother was the sister of the previous king and the youngest princess of Gaebolg. She was concerned about the curse of their family and entrusted him to be raised at the monastery. However, the curse manifested to the direct son of the previous king. The son was determined to break the curse of the family himself and went to Issgard himself. Lehar describes Issgard as a land of only snow, ice, and glaciers. However, there is a castle made of ice, yet it stays warm inside with some kind of magical power. Lazy asks if there is any to worry about since Illusion must've made contact for about 4 months.

Lehar's aunts, Voglinde Gaebolg and Vellgunde Gaebolg, appears and introduces themselves. Voglinde and Vellgunde both are here to study about Jormungandr and Rgan's magic in attempt to break the curse upon their family. They both go back to their research in one of the Iwin's huts.
13. - Talk to Leon who explains more about Issgard. The land itself is made by the frozen body of Jormungandr. The Rgans were the main followers of Jormungandr and are bound here. You ask about the barrier. Leon states that the barrier does not seal Jormungandr, but rather keeps the Rgans from leaving. Lazy asks about the giant birds around the castle. Aurelie explains that Iwins were originally migratory birds that moved to and from Oreum Mountains. However, once the barrier was placed, the Iwin race was stranded in Issgard. Since then, the Iwins helped guard the Ice Castle and monitor the barrier. Leon would like you to meet with Iwins since they haven't met an outsider since Varmundt.

You suggest the name "Lunch" since it is similar to Morning. The man agrees to be called Lunch. You ask Lunch on how did he get here? Lunch says that he only recalls the experimentation done in a "Large Mansion" but all of the sudden the scientist were preparing to leave. The scientist threw away many specimens, but Lunch managed to join the scientist in the Airship. However, the scientist lost interest in Lunch and decided to experiment with the Rgan race. In the meantime, Lunch wanted the attention of the scientist again so he transformed himself into an Rgan. You question on how does one transform like that.

Voglinde says it will be difficult entering the Rgan nest. You show your Rgan Transformation Scroll and explained where you got it. The team concludes that the transformation scroll is the key into infiltrating the Rgan race.
18. - Use a Rgan Transformation Scroll and talk to the team who are also all disguised as Rgan. Horr mentions that there is a problem with Lazy's transformation and that he looks more like a human still. Lazy mentions that you also look more human compared to rest of the team.

The Rgan Priest asks to follow him into the nest. Rewarded with 25 Snow Flower and 30 Ice Castle Reputation.
20. - Talk to Rgan Priest who announces to the rest of the nest that a Bishop was born. It is a miracle and a sign of Jormungandr resurrection. More Rgan appears to praise Lazy and blesses him. A Bishop Rgan appears and explains that you and Lazy should receive a blessing baptism.
21. - Talk to Bishop Rgan who tells you and Lazy that this particular area is the egg hatchery. It is the usual place of where priests and other bishops are born. He says that the unusual "birth spot" that you and Lazy "hatched" from must be a blessing from Jormungandr. Lazy asks about all the weird devices near the eggs. The Bishop says that they are machines installed by humans to inject more magical energy into the eggs. You ask what humans but Bishop Rgan says he doesn't know other than they are from beyond the barrier.
22. - Talk to Bishop Rgan who explains that the area nearby is where the humans resides and asks you to avoid the area as there are many strange devices made by dirty humans. Instead, Bishop Rgan asks you to follow him to meet Rasgand.
23. - Talk to Bishop Rgan who introduces you Sarekhgand. Sarekhgand looks at you and Lazy and announces that Rasgand will be delighted with the news. Bishop Rgan sees that the human is approaching and wants to show you to him. Bagot appears and you are surprised. Sarekhgand explains to Bagot about how you were born. Bagot is impressed about the situation and wants to go back to his experiments. However, Sarekhgand does not want Bagot to perform any experiments with this miracle case. Sarekhgand wants you to get a health checkup from Juneau.
24. - Talk to Juncea who is annoyed by your presence without prior notice. You tell her that you are here for a health checkup but pretend that you do not know what a health checkup is. Juncea is shocked that you are a senior Rgan while the hatchery showed no signs. She proceeds in performing a health checkup during which you ask questions. You ask what is this area but she dodges the question. You tell Juncea that you are afraid of humans. She tells you to hold still while conducting the tests. You ask how did she come here and she explains how an airship work. You tell her that you met another human recently. Juncea says that the other human is Bagot who joined recently. You ask if she and Bagot are friends, but Juncea says she shared a lab together but their fields are different and not interested. She accidentally stabbed too deeply and asks for a break.
25. - Talk to Juncea to continue the checkup. You ask about her research and if you will be experimented on. She says no due to making a promise with the Rgan race not to perform on higher Rgans as test subjects. But she comes up with an idea of examining the eggshells from which you hatched from and asks you for the pieces.
26. - Talk to Miriam and explain that you need eggshells. Miriam recalls that these eggs are low-level hatchery and that we must find the higher grade eggs in the nest.
27. - Talk to Bishop Rgan at the higher egg hatchery. You ask that you need a piece of your eggshell but the Bishop knows that you did not hatch from here. A noise occurred close by from Horr accidentally breaking an egg. The Rgan finds Horr and asks for the names of these two suspicious Rgans. Horr introduces himself as Horrgand and Lehar introduces himself as Leharchangand. The Bishop Rgan asks Leharchangand to educate Horrgand on practice and takes him away. You managed to find an opportunity to collect 1x Greater Rgan Eggshell .
28. - Bring the eggshell back to Juncea. She inspects it and is puzzled by the lack of high magical energy. You tell her that you don't understand. She explains that Rgans are born with magical energy equal to the mount they absorbed in the egg state. If an egg absorbs enough energy, a Bishop or a Priest will be born. You ask Juncea on how she knows so much. She states that her area of expertise is that of magical energy and magical tools. She says that humans cannot do this. She is simply here is to perform magical energy injection and to send an airship beyond the barrier at the other human's request. Lazy and Bagot appears.
29. - Talk to Bagot who discusses with Juncea about her results. Bagot wants to know about the data regarding you being born in a lower-level hatchery. Juncea says to Bagot that she is still researching and has nothing to report. Displeased, Bagot demands for the data now. Juncea insists that there is no data yet. Bagot announces that he has made changes to priorities of work and says that his research is now top priority. Juncea is shocked saying that her work began first. Sarekhgand joins to say that Rasgand agrees with the new order of priorities. Bagot again demands the data to be delivered to him and leaves.
30. - Talk to Juncea who is extremely furious. She rages at you and Lazy regarding Bagot's new orders. You ask about her study versus Bagot's but Juncea replies that it must be something that pleased Rasgand. She suspect that is must be relating to Ymir's heart and finding a way to use it for the eggs in attempt to revive Jormungandr. Juncea finishes up her tests and asks you to go do some work at the nest.
31. - Meet up with Lazy to exchange your findings. You tell Lazy that you did not uncover much other than the location of the Airship the Illusion uses but you should further investigate than meet back at the Ice Castle. You will go with Lehar to find the airship and try to find Horr who was taken away for accidentally breaking the egg.
32. - Talk to Lazy near the airship dock location. Lazy asks if this is the site, but you say there are too many guards to further investigate with only two people. You rather find the rest of the team and develop a new plan.
33. - Talk to the Guard Rgan. He stops you and Lazy by saying this is not a place for noble people like yourselves. You respond by saying that you a a newborn looking to study how people work. The Guard Rgan allows it and lets you pass.
34. - Talk to Rgans working at the lower grade hatchery. You discover that they are Miriam, Lehar and Horr. Miriam said that she saw many humans coming in and working with the lesser Rgans stating that they may have been abducted to here via the Airship. The humans were handcuffed and working here. Lehar suspects that they may be used as test subjects similar to Lunch. You all decide to head back to the Ice Castle to report your findings. Talk to rgan in the entrance to jor_nest to quickly teleported back to Ice Castle.
35. - Talk to Aurelie and your team recaps the situation. Lehar explains the Rgans and their ranks. Even the lowest rank Rgans are stronger than ordinary humans thanks to the magical energy they possess. Lehar also shares that the leader of the Rgans is Rasgand, the final survivor from the past battle of Jormungandr. He has a large following and is in absolute control of the Rgans. Leon suggest that Rasgand should be the priority target to stop the situation. Lehar agrees and says that we are lucky to have Lazy able to transform into Bishop Rgan with the transformation scroll. Leon asks how can Illusion, outsiders, able to contact Rasgand so easily. Lazy suggests that there may be a symbiotic relationship between the two groups and Rasgand desires the research. Aurelie is concerned about the number of Illusions, but you said you only seen Bagot, Juncea and the Heart Hunters. Miriam asks about the Ymir's Heart and where it can be. Lazy suggests that Bagot must have it since Rasgand prioritized his research. The new plan is to go back to the nest and explore more vulnerabilities, destroy the airship, and rescue any captured humans. Rewarded with 50 Snow Flower and 60 Ice Castle Reputation. (Optional) Unlocked Airship Destruction Instance .
36. - As transformed Rgan, meet with Lazy at the nest. He tells to explore Juncea's Lab, Bagot's Lab, and the Rgan Guard areas.
37. - Pick up the research documents from Juncea's Lab. You read some notes about a method being used on an already born object. It can be reborn as a better individual. A guard spots you and asks what are you doing here. You pretend to be the newborn exploring and you did not know the restrictions of the area. The guard introduces himself as Yugrungand, in charge of monitoring humans since they cannot be trusted. He mentions that only scientist uses this place, but it seems Juncea thinks that Bagot stole her place. You pretend to be puzzled and thank the guard for the explanation.
38. - Walk to the door to enter Bagot's Lab.
39. - Pick up the research documents. You briefly skim through it and read the sames notes about a method on already born objects to make them stronger. You feel a strong presence from the surrounding lab specimens equivalent to that of Twisted God Freyja.
40. - Pick up the top secret document. You read information about mutations occurring on a cellular level based on the experiment in Rachel. There are hypotheses listed about correcting the problem by magic energy injection, but there is no need for returning a specimen back it's original form.
41. - Talk to the pile of research documents near the Rgan Guards. You sift through the documents and pick up a Ledger . The book describes a large amount of energy flowing into Bagot's lab.
42. - Talk to the research documents near Juncea's work area. It describes events of artificially boosting Rgan levels before they hatch from the eggs.
43. - Overhear a conversation by the Rgan Guard and Rgan Guard Captain. They talk about Bagot visiting Rasgand a lot but the Captain doesn't really trust him. The Guard asks the Captain on what to do. The Captain says to stay alert while he reallocates his people.
44. - Report back to Lazy on your findings. You state that Juncea seem to be ignored now compared to Bagot. However, Bagot's experiments are more dangerous especially finding out the specimens in his lab are similar to the Twisted God Freyja. The two Illusions working together can be a big problem. Lazy mentions that Juncea and Bagot underwent a quarrel so it may be beneficial to further separate them. He says for you to talk with Juncea since she likes adventurers like yourself while he will go to Bagot.
45. - Talk to Juncea. You notice that she is hooked up to her machines. You ask her why is she experimenting on herself. She is frustrated that she has no test subjects so she going to do whatever it takes to further her research. You offer Juncea to perform a secret experiment on yourself. She is flattered but rejects it. She states that correct results rely on documentation and she cannot hide her experiments. She doesn't want to be bother anymore as she doesn't have the energy to talk with you. You read the monitors indicating low blood sugar and ask what this means. Juncea explains it simply as wanting to eat something sweet. She tells you that she will continue answering your questions if you can bring her something sweet.
46. - Talk to Iwin who is eating an Ice Candy. You ask if you can have one and he gives you 1 Ice Cookie .
47. - Go back to Juncea and give her the Ice Cookie. She asks how you got this and you faked a story about saving a big bird. Juncea is impressed with your efforts and starts to appreciate you more. You ask why isn't Juncea going to Rasgand for help, but she responds that funds are slowly dwindling for her projects. You try to ask more questions but she is busy unless you can bring back another 1 Ice Cookie or 10 Rgan's Low-Grade Magic Core .
48. - Talk to Juncea and give her either Ice Cookie (Option 1) or 10 Rgan's Low-Grade Magic Core (Option 2). She begins to vent to you about not being able to progress her research. You ask if the eggshell you brought to her earlier was enough, but she says she needs living Rgans to prove her theory about injecting magical energy into an already born Rgan. You tell her that you want to be stronger and offer again to experiment on yourself. You try to ask more questions but she is busy unless you can bring back another 1 Ice Cookie or 10 Rgan's Low-Grade Magic Core .
49. - Talk to Juncea and give her either 1 Ice Cookie or 10 Rgan's Low-Grade Magic Core . She is grateful in the repeated effort, but she really needs to produce results. She explains that data is scarce and seems to be no hope for progression.
50. - Talk to Juncea. You start to trust her and decide to give her the Record Book pretending like you found this accidentally while playing with other Rgans and noticed it was human text. She reads through the documents and becomes outraged. She noticed how many specimens Bagot had while she had none. She complains so loud that Bagot appears and investigates you and Juncea by asking what is this noise about. He asks who you are and you continue to pretend your role as a newborn Priest Rgan. Juncea interrupts asking Bagot to speak to him. Bagot asks for the Rgans to leave then to speak privately. You reluctantly decide to leave and head back to Ice Castle to prevent any suspicion by staying.
51. - Talk to Lazy and the team to exchange your findings. You mention to Lazy that you became closer to Juncea by exposing how much support Rgans gave to Bagot compared to her. However, you want to resolve this faster.
52. - Talk to Miriam who agrees on taking action in a timely fashion. She says to restock on Rgan Transformation scrolls and head back to the nest to uncover more. Talk to Shayala in to warp back fast to jor_nest.
53. - Talk to the box at Juncea's work area. You noticed that Juncea is no longer here, but you found a suspicious bubbling liquid experiment. You want to examine it further but you will need something to contain it.
54. - Grab a Juncea's Test Tube off from the table.
55. - Collect the suspicious liquid into the test tube to get Red Liquid Test Tube and an Rgan appears.
56. - Talk to the Rgan. He says that Juncea is looking for you in Bagot's lab and that you should meet her there. You are puzzled on how Juncea knows you would be here.
57. - Go towards Bagot's Lab to find Juncea.
58. - Talk to Juncea who says she wanted to talk to alone. An instance will be created that is forced solo and you cannot bring any party members.
59. Talk to Juncea inside the instance. She questions the friendship and suspects you been gossiping to Bagot about her behind her back. You notice something is strange about her, maybe something to do with Bagot. You try to comfort her, but its already too late. She is undergoes a transformation into a greater being.
60. Subdue transformed Juncea. You are wondering if Bagot made her go crazy. You decide to bring Juncea back to Ice Castle. Exit the instance.
61. - Talk to Horr. He questions why you brought an Rgan back to Ice Castle. You ask for a resting place and you will explain the situation later.
62. - Talk to Horr and the rest of the team in the inn who asks you what is going on about this Rgan. You explain that this is Juncea and you had to take her out of the nest safely. They are astonished by her form and wings. You reply that is may have to do with Bagot's experiment similar to Twisted God Freyja. You team wants to wake Juncea up but there is no response. You show the tube of liquid to the team but none of you can figure out what is it. Lehar says his aunt Vellgunde, the scientist, may be able to decipher it and create an antidote to return Juncea back to normal. While Lehar gets his aunt, Horr brings up a concern about using the Rgan transformation scroll. At this point of time, the Rgans are very familiar to your transformed selves and are now skeptical especially for Lazy and yourself since there are very few Priests and Bishops. Vellgunde arrives and examines the liquid but requires 20 Rgan's Low-Grade Magic Core.
63. - Bring back the materials to Vellgunde. She combines it with the liquid and injects Juncea with it. Juncea slowly wakes up and notices her transformed self. She screams that Bagot used her for an experiment. She questions where she is and your team explained what happened. Lazy and you told her that you are not higher Rgan beings, but just humans. Juncea accuses you for deceiving her and trying to get rid of her, but you say that is not the case. The team says she would've died if it wasn't for you escaping the nest and bringing her back. Lazy explains the situation of Illusion trying to control the Three Kingdoms of Midgard Continent and that you are here to stop them by infiltrating the nest. She questions how humans can so easily transform into Rgans. Vellgunde offers to exchange knowledge if Juncea cooperates. Rewarded with 25 Snow Flower .
64. - Talk to Juncea who accepted the offer. You ask about Jormungandr Church power. Juncea explains that the Rgans are hatched from absorbing the left over magical energy surrounding it. But the source is slowly depleting so the future prospects of Rgans are grim. There is a finite amount of time left for the Rgans. Vellgunde suspects this is the reason why Rasgand must be desperate to reach out to Midgard Continent and collaborated with the Illusion. Juncea elaborates further stating that Rasgand is very powerful, being the last survivor. Most of the higher Rgans are born from his blood. She wanted to study Rasgand but wasn't even allowed to see him. Vellgunde says that Rasgand was the one who cursed the royal family and asks Juncea what was Rasgand's goals. Juncea says that she was there to study Jormungandr's body and its magical energy flowing even years after his death, but has lost the opportunity. Lazy asks what did Bagot offer Rasgand. She comes to the conclusion that it may be the resurrection of Jormungandr with the remaining body and Heart of Ymir, possibly even try to reproduce it in its entirety. Your team realized the similar circumstance at Rachel. However, Miriam asks if the resurrection is for Rasgand, what will Bagot gain from this experiment? Juncea replies that Bagot's drive is solely for science and his research. Vellgunde is extremely worried about the possibility for a resurrection. The entire continent will fall into a great crisis if it happens. The team decides to act quickly and ask Juncea more about the Rgan Nest and the location of the Jormungandr's body. She says that she only knows one entrance near the lower level Rgan region. Aurelie appears to give her report.
65. - Talk to Aurelie who says that the movement of the Rgans were unusual recently. Those scouting on the Frozen Scale Glaciers were rushing back to the nest. Lazy and Horr agrees that we have to act quickly to find out and stop it.
66. - Use a transformation scroll to enter the special Rgan nest area.
67. - Meet up with transformed Horr and team. An Iwin Soldier arrives and reveals that majority of the high level Rgans moved to a different area leaving only the intermediate and lower level Rgans in the vicinity. He brought back a few humans he found that were trying to escape. Horr asks the others to escort the refugees out to safety while Lazy suggests to split up and continue searching for more. Rewarded with 25 Snow Flower and 25 Ice Castle Reputation.
68. - Talk to Miriam who also found more human slaves who are scared of you. Lehar explains to them that you are also humans disguised as Rgans. There is no time for questions now and you guide them out of the nest. Lazy goes off to find Rasgand while you continuing searching.
69. - Talk to Horr who is trying to interrogate other low level Rgans for information, but they won't talk to him and continue to work at the hatchery. You show up and the other Rgans greets you kindly since you are a Priest. You start asking where the other Bishop and Priest Rgans went. They disclose only that the Lord requested all advanced Rgans to gather. You ask if this is Rasgand's order and where is the gathering spot. They point you to the area above and say to hurry. You decide to check it out while the others try to find more human slaves.
70. - Talk to Lehar and the team who found the entrance to the gathering. However, it is blockaded. Aurelie asks if this is where Bagot and Rasgand could be and Lehar suspects so. Lazy found out that this area is indeed where Rasgand, Bagot, and the other higher rank Rgans went, but also where Illusions performed experiments. Horr wants to enter the area and commands his soldiers to tear down small entry way so that you may enter. The area is an instance (Party Members allowed).
71. - Meet with Voglinde, Aurelie, Leon, Miriam and few Iwin Soldiers. The goal now is find Rasgand and Bagot and secure the heart of Ymir. There are many powerful mutated Rgans around the area.

Defeat all the enemies and continue further in the area.
78. - Meet with Voglinde and Miriam who is also trying to get through another defense of Mutated Rgans. You tell them that they are being controlled by the Heart Hunters.

87. - Meet up at the final defense line of the Heart Hunter and Rgans. Bagot appears and is unconcerned with your efforts. He discloses that he is the one that provoked Juncea to the extreme. He is irritated that pests like you keep showing up into the world he is trying to create. Bagot notes that Rasgand is very angry at humans for deceiving him. He injects magical energy into the surrounding Rgans to make them more powerful and heads into the Jormungandr Church. Defeat all the enemies.
88. - Head to the entrance of Jormungandr Church and meet your team who are glad that you are okay. The door is locked and you suspect it is where Bagot and the Illusion are. The Iwin soldiers couldn't open the door. Voglinde tries to use the key she acquired from the Heart Hunters but that didn't work. Aurelie tries to use her magic to open the door but that didn't work either. Voglinde says we should just setup surveillance around the nest area and leave. Aurelie agrees since it may be the only exit for them anyways. Sooner rather than later, the door will have to be opened. You and your team decide to leave.
89. - Talk to Aurelie and the team at Ice Castle. They are all discouraged that we returned empty-handed. Leon suggests that a new entrance to Jormungandr Church could be made and that we should be on the search for when that happens. Horr will allocate Iwin Soldiers on watch duty. Leon says that in order eventually to escape to the Midgard continent, an airship will have to be used which is very noticeable. Vellgunde appears with Juncea saying that she can help. Juncea agrees to fully cooperate since she promised. She said that Bagot took all of the research materials from her lab so there is little there to gain. She questions Bagot's ability. Lazy explains to her that he is very capable based on previous encounters. Leon wonders why the fight at the end was too easy. Aurelie suspects that Bagot held back his ability to save strength for the resurrection of Jormungandr. The other Heart Hunters and mutated Rgans were simply a distraction to gain time to seal the door. Juncea is worried regarding her research data about magical energy injection on higher Rgans. The team settles down and agrees to just keep monitoring the situation for any possible news of the door opening and barrier breaching. Rewarded with 50 Snow Flower and 50 Ice Castle Reputation.
Side Quests
editPurification Saint
edit- - Meet with Voglinde in the Ice Castle. She asks if you have seen Lehar because she has a task for him. Instead of waiting, she asks you to help her out. You accept the request and Voglinde gives you 1 Chocolate Pie to eat because you look hungry. She asks if you seen a Cardinal with long hair and a wacky bag. The Cardinal was suppose to arrive in Issgard with Lehar. Voglinde asks you to find the other people who rode the airship and inquire if they have seen a Cardinal in a blue suit with long hair and a veil from Prontera.
- - You ask Maram if he has seen any Cardinal on the airship. He does not remember anyone as you described and suggests you to speak with Lehar.
- - Talk to Lehar and ask about the Cardinal from Prontera. Lehar says he saw her with Maram on the airship. Maram denies any such person with him. Miriam arrives and Lehar immediately says she is the Cardinal. Maram corrects Lehar and introduces Miriam from Rachel, not Prontera. In a panic, Lehar realizes his mistake and needs to inform Voglinde.
- - You and Lehar meet with Voglinde and Lehar explains the situation. Voglinde is outraged and bashes Lehar for forgetting the Cardinal from Prontera. She immediately requests you to secretly go back to Midgard and find the Cardinal. She will asks Hellock to take you back to Aldebaran.
- - Talk to Hellock. He says he can take you back to Midgard. You question how he will do that because there is no Airship around. Hellock says he can use his ""Sled"" to take you to Aldebaran.
- - After arriving in Aldebaran, talk to Hellock who tells you to go to Prontera. He cannot join you due to various agreements with the others.
- - Talk to Ellis, the Acolyte Officer. You tell her you are not here to become an acolyte, but instead for Voglinde's errand. Ellis tells you she may be at the dormitory in Prontera Castle.
- - You find only a bag in the dormitory. A Cardinal arrives and asks Ellis which coat is cuter: the white or the pink. Ellis is confused. She asks the Cardinal why is she still here and not with Lehar at Varmundt's Mansion. She responds saying there was no one there so she roamed a bit around in Varmundt until giving up and coming back home. You tell the Cardinal that you are here to pick her up to go to Issgard.
- - Talk to the Cardinal who introduces herself as Friederike. She asks you if it is cold in Issgard and you say it is. She is worried what coat to bring and the matching shoes. Ellis notices that Friederike packed so many bags filled to the maximum. She asks her to take only what is needed. You decide to help her lighten her bags.
- - Check the first bag. You find many winter coats. Ellis agrees winter coats are necessary and to take a few.
- - Check the next bag. Again, you find many winter coats. Ellis says that is way too many coats and to take only the previous bag. Friederike pouts.
- - Check the next bag. You find a teddy bear. Friederike begs to keep it as she cannot sleep without Angelica. Ellis agrees to keep one doll.
- - Check the next bag. You find sweets and candy.
- - Check the final bag. You find a life size doll of Varmundt. Friederike says it was a present from Alpha from the mansion. Ellis says this bag will stay here until you come back from Issgard.
- - Speak to Ellis. She says even though the bags were reduced, there are still too many. She asks Dew and Maggi to accompany you with the bags.
- - Meet back with Hellock who takes you all to Issgard.
- - Escort Friederike to Ice Castle. Lehar greets and apologizes for leaving her at Varmundt's Mansion. He takes you to her room.
- - Enter the inn room where Friederike will be staying. Voglinde is waiting. She thanks you for bringing the cardinal to Issgard and asks Maggi and Dew to help out with another tasks.
- - Talk to Lehar. He tells Friederike to contact him if she needs anything. An Iwin named Surr appears and urgently requests for Lehar's help for Purified Magic Cores. One of the other Iwins have fell into a pit but couldn't fly out due to water being present. If a purified magic core was used, the stranded Iwin can recover sooner. Rgans normally drop low-grade magic cores, but without purification, they are useless. Surr says that normally Leon and Aurelie would purify them, but do not have energy right now. Lehar asks Friederike to perform purification. She hesitates but Lehar states that it will be much appreciated by Voglinde. Friederike agrees and purifies the magic cores.

Frozen Sea
edit- - Talk to Surr who brings an injured Iwin to Lehar and Friederike. Lehar asks her to try to heal the Iwin. Midway, the Iwin wakes up, but it is Tamarin disguised as a Iwin. Lehar asks how did you come to Issgard without a Guardian's Invitation?
- - Talk to Tamarin who explains that he was working in Varmundt's Mansion to repair the underground waterways. Illusions appeared and attacked him. Tamarin vaguely remembers being on an airship and suddenly waking up in an rotten cavern. There are others who were also caught by the Illusions. Some managed to escape such as himself. He found Surr on his way and saved him. Tamarin remembers that he was hunting for Limacinas with traps before falling into an unknown cavern. The Limacina managed to break free and attacked him causing him to stumble into the pit. Surr says its not uncommon for traps to break. Tamarin says that there are traces for someone intentionally breaking the traps and would be beneficial to go and investigate with Mark and Alp.
- - Check the first trap. An Icewind Huntsman stops you asking why are you touching their traps. You explain the situation and the Iwin suggests you to check north as the creatures there became more ferocious.
- - Check the trap. You didn't find anything wrong with it and decide to check another trap closer to the pit.
- - Check the trap. You find signs of damage. Alp suspects the liquid on the trap is poison similar to what was on Tamarin. Mark sees the monster that fell into the pit.
- - Talk to the Iwin Diver. He informs you and the team that the poison inside the pit is worse than he expected. He thought his wetsuit could hold for a while, but as soon as he entered the pit, the magic core attached to the wetsuit broke. Mark suggests getting Friederike to help.
- - Meet with Friederike. Mark explains to her the situation with the poisonous pit and the broken magic core. She agrees to help out.
- - Head back to pit entrance. The Iwin Diver says that it is unreasonable to purify the entire pit. For now, we should clean up the entrance and investigate where the poison is coming from. Friederike purifies the water around changing the poison to water. She takes the wetsuit and clothes and says she will attach purified magic cores to them. The Iwin Diver is thankful for Friederike's help and proceeds to enter the pit. He asks you to maintain the outside area as he investigates.
- Kill 10x monsters in jor_back2 and bring back 3 Frozen Meat (automatically collected when killing monsters).
- - Report back to Iwin Diver. He explains that there is something terrible going on inside the pit. There was a small passage that was narrow enough for only one person to pass through with a blockage at the end. He managed to remove the rock and entered a huge pit. The Iwin Diver then saw something that looks like a Rgan but it looked too dangerous so he escaped. The team says we should all go inside to research carefully. If anything dangerous was found, we should report back to Voglinde.
- - Talk with Alp and Iwin Diver inside the pit. This is Alp's first time seeing the Rgan race and the Iwin Diver explains what they are. He asks you not to provoke too many Rgans, but to hunt a few while investigating.
- Kill 5x monsters in jor_ab01.
- - Investigate the area. Mark thinks this is the poison leaking out of the place. Alp is unsure if this is a natural occurrence or man-made. The Iwin Diver notices that the monsters here look odd as well. You should continue to investigate further.
- Kill another 5x monsters in jor_ab01.
- - Investigate the area. Alp sees the same situation as before: poison leaking out. Iwin Diver says this is a bigger issue than initially thought. Mark reports that he found a passage leading to another area.
- Kill another 5x monsters in jor_ab01 and collect 2 Frozen Meat.
- - Inspect the passage way. The Iwin Diver says the poison is accumulating the deeper we go and that the magic core will soon deplete. We must quickly investigate the new area then report back to Ice Castle.
- Kill another 10x monsters in jor_ab02 and collect 2 Frozen Meat.
- - Investigate the end of the pit. Mark didn't find any other areas that leads to other places. The Iwin Diver decides that this is the end and we should report back to Lehar and the others.
- - Meet with Friederike and Lehar who are glad that you are okay. Voglinde quickly appears and praises Friederike for cleaning the pit area. Surr informs that the pit is a very large area but seems unconnected to anywhere else. It is full of deformed Rgans and monsters. It would be too dangerous to leave it unchecked. Voglinde ponders if it is a natural occurrence or rather a disposal area for failed Rgans. Surr shows the frozen meat brought back from the area. Friederike purifies the meat and appears to be a good source of food. Voglinde agrees that it can be utilized as a food source. For now, the team decides to rest.

Search for the Lost
edit- - Talk to Lehar who mentions that Leon is looking for help.
- - Talk to Leon and Miriam. They discussed about the former human prisoners of Rgan's Nest that managed to escape during our adventure. Maram and Lazy have found and rescued many, but there could be more. The Iwins are already scouting around and it would be helpful if you assisted as well. Leon tells you that the barrier between Midgard and Issgard was for the separation of Rgans, not humans. He is worried that the very fact that there are humans here without Guardian's Invitation is a clear indication that the barrier has weakened over the course of hundreds of years. Leon explains that he and Aurelie are guarding Issgard, following the will of Jormungandr. The god is not an evil spirit. But the reason why people think he is evil is because of the Rgans who formed the Jormungandr Church and turned the continent into chaos. You ask about the Jormungandr's Curse and Leon says that it is a blood curse casted by the Head of Jormungandr Church as a last resort. However, Jormungandr is a god that saved Midgard by sacrificing himself in order to prevent Rgans leaving Issgard. Miriam questions the legitimacy of this recorded history and story. However, Leon reiterates that whatever the cause, he and Aurelie must maintain the barrier. In the mean time, he asks you to go with Miriam to develop a plan for rescuing the survivors.
- - Talk to Miriam. She asks you to go into the Frozen Scale fields to find any survivors and bring them back to Ice Castle.

Special Way to Survive
edit- - While transformed, talk to Mimigand and question how Rgans came to be. He explains that ancient Rgans used to rule the Midgard continent through Jormungandr's magical power. However, Jormungandr was sealed due to evil human beings. All new Rgans are rooted in the blood of Rasgand, the last Rgan protected by Jormungandr. He mentions that the magic inside our bodies left by Jormungandr is what makes Rgan survive. But, not all Rgans are blessed with such magical power. The lower class Rgans are sinners who covet magical powers from higher ranking ones. Mimigand reminds you that magical power is limited and should not be wasted on Rgans that do not work towards Jormungandr's and Rasgand's will. He asks you to kill the sinners, the lower class of Rgans, as sacrifice for surviving.
- Kill 10x Primitive Rgan and 10x Lowest Rgan and recover 10 Rgan's Low-Grade Magic Core.
- - Return to Mimigand who thanks you for your efforts. Some of the Magic Cores will be used as resource to other High Class Rgans while the rest will go towards Rasgand's research.

Preaching Doctrine
edit- - While transformed, listen to the sermon given by Bernagand. He talks about Rasgand reviving the Jormungandr Church by using his own blood to bring new Rgans to life. However, some of the Rgans born didn't go as planned. Bernagand explains that Rasgand had to sorrowfully turn the primitive Rgans into Magic cores one by one. Nonetheless, all Rgans, regardless of rank, are descendants of Rasgand. He has became immortal due to the curse entangled with humans. If Rasgand were to die before ending his revenge against humans, then the Rgan race would be ruined. One of the other high class Rgans whispers to you for your attention.
- - Talk to Yuramigand who says you do not have to listen to the sermon. He doesn't know what Bernagand's plans are. Though he seems very loyal to Rasgand. He questions how all Rgans born from Rasgand's blood can be so different from each other. Yuramigand advises you not to be friendly with Bernagand.

Curious Things
edit- - While transformed, talk to Delfanagand. He explains the ranking system of Rgans where Jormungandr is the great serpent and Rasgand is the last survivor. All other Rgans are descended from Rasgand's blood. Delfanagand goes on saying that Bishops, like himself, are the next top class of Rgans followed by Priests such as yourself. Those who take cares of the eggs are simply laymen. Furthermore, language is inherited from Rgans. The higher class of Rgans, the better their speech and thoughts. Delfanagand wants you to exhibit this phenomena by talking to the simple Rgans at the hatchery.
- - Talk to the Rgan at the first egg hatchery. You ask him if he has any complaints while working, but he doesn't know what the word means.
- - Talk to the Rgan at the second egg hatchery. You ask him what is his favorite thing. He says it is being warm and hates going outside.
- - Talk to the Rgan at the third egg hatchery. You ask him what he wants to do. He wants to lay on the floor where magic flows and sleep but he can't because he needs to work for Jormungandr.
- - Return to Delfanagand. He hopes this experience satisfied your curiosity regarding Rgans.
