Detailed Walkthrough

Meryline mourns the fallen

While traveling through the Amenos Jungle, you may run into Meryline Barthel near the heart of the island, around Brokerock Wayshrine. She will request you join her and aid Brokerock Mine, the mine her father Overseer Barthel runs. Agreeing will have you escort her the short remaining distance to the camp, where her father will be the only person still present. Her father will tell her to go to her room, but accept your help. He will confirm that the camp is currently under attack by Hadolids, and several sentries and prisoners have already been killed. Work has stopped, and he can barely keep control with his remaining forces. He will request that you investigate a medical caravan that was supposed to have arrived by now. While he gives you orders, Meryline will sneak out to meet you outside of the camp.

Meryline will insist on joining you to investigate the caravan. This portion of the quest simply requires you to travel a short distance to find the caravan in ruins and its workers dead. As medical supplies are still needed, Meryline will ask you salvage what you can while she sings a song for the recently departed. After retrieving the last of cargo, a group of Hadolids will appear, but be repelled by Meryline's magical song being amplified by Resonance Crystals also transported by the caravan.

Having made the best of the caravan situation that you could, you two then return to the camp, only to find that another attack is ongoing. Sentry Ennoc will inform you that Overseer Barthel was forced to retreat into the mine during the attack. Meryline will rush ahead into the mine to rescue her father and the other survivors, stopping at the entrance realizing that she did not consult on what to do with you. After a short conversation, you two will decide to go deeper into the mine, with a few Hadolids potentially serving as a threat. You will eventually come across survivors in an abandoned shaft, all needing medical attention. Meryline will use her magic and Resonance Crystals to defend the group while you provide medical care. After helping this group of survivors, you will continue your descent.

An activated Resonance Crystal

While continuing on, Meryline will point out a knife on the ground belonged to her father, indicating he was here earlier. A short ways from there, you will stumble upon a part of his cloak ripped off on a stick. Going further you will find the remains of Achane, one of his personal guards. Not far from the body you will hear Overseer Barthel shouting at the Hadolids, revealing his location to you and his daughter.

After a short meeting where the Overseer will request you get his daughter out of this safely, Meryline will tell you she has a plan to plant the Resonance Crystals throughout the mine to drive out the Hadolids. Her father will protest, but Meryline will continue with the plan despite his concerns.

You will continue through an eastern section of the mine heading towards the shore, with more Hadolids posing a threat to your work as you plant more crystals. Meryline will note that the Hadolids have yet to truly begin occupying the mine, possibly giving you a window to convince them to leave. After ascending to a section right before an exit, you place the final crystals while Meryline climbs to higher ground to sing. The song will work without a hitch, and Meryline will point you towards an exit on your level while she takes her own path out.

You will then exit to find father and daughter reunited, with her father expressing more respect for her daughter's abilities, and Meryline excited at the possibilities of a career of adventuring. Meryline will then give you a reward, as she promised at the start of the adventure.

Notes

* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.

• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
