Beloved by completionists, the Shrine of Ages is an expedition area in the desert region, unlocked with the Tunnel Locked On quest in the Ruins. Creatures from past events can be fought here to fill gaps in one's bestiary or even finish out quests Dust Warriors may have been carrying for some time. It was relaunched in its current format on February 5th, 2020.
In town, you will find a "Shrine Bracelets: Stempos or Tickets" store, where you can purchase bracelets for shrine tickets. Each bracelet allows access to a past event. The Shrine bracelets are wardrobe items found under "Special." Put the bracelet on your avatar and equip the look, and then new monsters, quests, and markets will appear.
This area also has its own currency, Shrine Stones, which can be used to buy both forum reactions and a selection of items from past events.
When it first opened, certain monsters in the shrine only appeared on certain days, and some monsters only appeared if a Dust Warrior was wearing specific wardrobe items. The Shrine was relaunched on February 5th, 2020 in its current format.

With No Shrine Bracelets[]
Without a Shrine Bracelet equipped, there's not much to do in the Shrine. However, you will find Motes, along with a quest chain to fight him.
Quests[]
| Quest | Objective | Rewards | Approximate words needed |
|---|---|---|---|
Keeper of the Shrine (1/3)[]  |
 |
  |
1,000 words |
This is the first of Motes' three levels to fighting him. I'll only need to defeat him once and then I'll receive a Shrine Ticket. Hmm... he's got a long ponytail I could grab, and a long beard too. That might be a little over the top though. I'll use some of the moves Velts taught me, that should work.
| |||
Helper of the Shrine (2/3)[] |
  |
|
2,000 words (plus items) |
Level two, and Motes is changing the rules a little bit. I'll need to defeat him twice and give him 15 Desert Stones. Is this how he gets those stones he wears wrapped around his waist? On the plus side, if I do this, I'll receive 2 Shrine Tickets. Maybe I should use a trick or two Suwö's taught me...
| |||
Guardian of the Shrine (3/3)[] |
  |
  |
3,000 words (plus items) |
Motes just told me about my final task. I'll need to defeat him twice more, hand over 25 Desert Stones, and find 25 River Stones to give him. I told him that Shrine Tickets weren't going to be enough, and he nodded in agreement. My reward for all of this is going to be a Stone Belt of my own!

Shrine Bracelets[]

| Quest | Objective | Reward | Approximate words needed | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Green Ooze Invasion[]  |
        |
          |
  |
2,920 words |
Entering the Shrine after talking to Motes, I realized he wasn't kidding; green oozes have completely invaded the place! Before attacking, it might be better to do a quick sweep and see how many different oozes are sliming up the place... one of each should give me a quick headcount.
| ||||
Seeing a Sequence[]  |
|
|
|
5,560 words |
I feel as if the creatures flittering about above me have a special pattern going on, but I don't remember what the name is. They're spiraling in a specific way through, almost naturally as they achieve a beautiful ratio. At times like this I wish I could capture the image.
| ||||
Mini OoOoOoOozes[]  |
|
 |
5,000 words | |
Ooozing from every surface in the Shrine are little green mini-Oozes... which are offering up a game? Defeating 100 of the little blobs will earn the un-gelling loyalty of one Ooze who will decide to be a pet. I hope the one who comes with me likes traveling the Valley.
| ||||
Cleaning the House[]  |
Maintain a 5 day streak
|
|
2,500 words (4,720 including streak) | |
It doesn't have to be spring to start spring cleaning, which is good since these Ooze Houses need all the help they can get. Judging by the gunk oozing out of them, it's going to take 5 days to get through 5 Houses. What cleans up ooze best anyhow? Fire.
| ||||
There She Blows[]  |
|
|
1,000 words | |
Call me Dust Warrior. Out of all the green oozes gathering to call the Shrine their home, I've decided to focus on Whaly Ooze. Since they were originally brought to life by unscrupulous Untu, sculpted from a smaller piece of a bigger ooze, I wonder where these are coming from?
| ||||
Blobby Was Here[]  |
|
|
3,000 words | |
With giant blobs come giant messes - and somehow, I'm always the one that needs to clean them up. This time I'm hunting first. It'll be easier for me to defeat 3 Giant Oozes than it would be to clean up after 3 Giant Oozes. At least, I'm hoping that'll work...

Shrine Creature Flyby[]  |
       |
      |
|
2,400 words |
A Dust Warrior has to be on guard, ready at all times to defend against attack... which I remembered as I craned my neck upwards. Flyers. The Shrine was filled with flying creatures of all shapes, sizes, and colors, so this sounds like the best time to test ranged weapons.
| ||||
Those Nightly Terrors[]  |
|
|
|
5,250 words |
Murciel and Lupo are easy to pick out of the group as they fly a little bit lower to the ground. After watching for a while, I noticed that none of the other creatures flew close to those two. It might mean nothing, but maybe I should check Dust levels.
| ||||
Beware! Rock Shower[]  |
|
  |
5,000 words | |
With the amount of Arir flinging themselves around in the air, a Dust Warrior's in danger of being buried under a surprise a rock shower. While there aren't' any Ipo nearby to munch on dinner, the good thing about this is that these rolling stones are somewhat easy to defeat.

NPC's Here to Help[]  |
       |
      |
  |
9,217 words |
There's a large number of beings in the Valley who are willing to spar with Dust Warriors in an attempt to help push forward in the fight against the Dust. Some of them, I know, originally came from the Valley, but others are visitors who drop back in. I'll need to defeat them all, one by one, to get better.
| ||||
Untu Leaders United[]  |
|
|
    |
12,000 words |
The Untu are masterful fighters and I've heard talk about how hard it can be to defeat some of their leaders in private training battles. On the other hand, battling beings with moves I haven't seen before or encountered in a while will allow me to get better... And knowing them, it won't be 1 battle each, but 3 instead.
| ||||
Aid of Assistants[]  |
|
|
|
7,050 words |
They say that standing behind every good leader is a hard-working assistant. Besides the opportunity I have to test myself against the Untu Leaders, I'm also going to go up against those who have aided the leaders. Sure, Skuppa and Vinstacio aren't actually Untu, but they did help out and fight against Monvoisin when she took over the Carnival Marionette.
| ||||
Which Witch Is This?[]  |
|
|
8,335 words | |
Monvoisin is a changed woman, but she's still got the skills to go up against the Untu, Uurwall Uzgot, and even Skuppa (though she took over his giant marionette, with magic, so I'm not sure if that counts). Anyhow, she's promised to teach me how to fight against magic - that should come in handy when going up against the Dust, right?

Calcium Vitamins[]  |

 |
|
2,220 words (4,440 including streak) | |
These skeletons are a lot harder to defeat than I thought they would be. What have they been doing since they died, drinking lots of milk and taking calcium vitamins? I'm going to see if a five-day streak will help defeat them. And if that doesn't work, I guess I can try burying them. Are they afraid of graves anymore?
| ||||
Stop Clowning Around[]  |
    |
  |
 |
6,345 words |
There were three different ones around me, copies of each form closing in. It might have been the look in their eyes that first caught my attention. Possibly the painted lips, glossy red and unmoving. No matter what though, I would need to defeat at least five of each clown, and then we'd see who was laughing in the end.
| ||||
Spooky Scary Supernaturals[]  |
       |
|
|
5,134 words |
The Shrine is filled with skeletons and clowns, and with them here the sunlight seems to be missing. I'll take on all of these creatures, defeating each on that shows me their face, and with that momentous task done it might feel more welcoming in here. I wonder if there's any time or season these beings would be good for?
| ||||
All Dressed Up[] |
|
|
3,000 words | |
Is there any sadder sight than a skeleton all dressed up with no place to go? Well, I guess that doesn't ring completely true since for all Zosimos, they're here in the Shrine and ready to party. Thankfully I'm equipped for these types of battles - I've brought both my weapons and my better pair of shoes for the dance floor.
| ||||
Bone White Canvas[]  |
|
|
2,000 words | |
Out of all the skeletons in the Shrine, I think I like the Zosimos the most. They're almost like blank canvas, just waiting for some happy little splashes of color to come by... I just had the best idea! I need to defeat these boney creatures and bring them over to the little ducklings! And Aita would love studying them!

Helping a Mother[]  |
 |
|
2,500 words | |
Natida's a parent, and like most parents she can use some time away from the little ones (for speaking full sentences without a singsong voice). I've offered to spar with her, for five occasions, so she can work a little frustration out and have a refreshed spirit to go home with. Hopefully, she can teach me some new moves too.
| ||||
Paint Battle[]  |
   |
  |
|
1,875 words |
The little ducklings are back and bringing plenty of paint with them. They have a new "game" where if they defeat me, I'll be swimming in colors, but if I defeat them, then they'll be the ones wearing red, blue, and green. Too bad for them - I have a shield and I can hide my full body behind it, turtle-like.
| ||||
Lining Up Ducks[]  |
|
  |
 |
1,275 Words |
A small family of ducks passed by me, and I blinked. Just as small as Alex from Luciola, but they certainly have more feathers than him and his family. Each little one is a different color, which is cute, but their parents don't look as if they'll stand for any shenanigans. I should make sure they all know about Dust...

By the Pie![]  |
        |
 |
1,964 words |
Rare creatures are looking pretty sharp in Luciola. I thought they were Dust variants, but another Warrior said they saw the creatures pop up when Kyiat baked some pies. Three pies for three poly-shaped creatures, so I'm going to defeat one each of these "Pie" specials (and then maybe figure out if what Kyiat baked is safe to nibble on).
| |||
Poly Wants a Pie[]  |
|
|
3,140 words |
I'm used to Wignow wanting boots, not pie, but these Poly Wignow aren't budging in their demands (at least, they keep trying to get into my backpack). I'm going to defeat 10 of them, and if that doesn't keep them away from me, then I'm going to chow down on pie in front of them; they'll be sorry after that!
| |||
The Math's Correct...[]  |
 |
|
5,000 words |
I'm being blocked by a Cubed Frizi wall... but I think I know what to do about this. The wall looks as if it contains 25 creatures, so if my math's correct, then I should be looking for a square root. That can't be too hard. All of these creatures are already square, so I just need a square tree.

Birb's the Word[]  |

   |
|
3,650 words |
Birb's the word and the word is Birb! Several of these feathered fiends (friends?) have entered the Shrine, and between all the different noises they're making, it's becoming chaos. Hopefully, Motes won't mind a bit more pandemonium added to the fun (he seems like a cool guy)—time to play chicken and find the bravest one out of the bunch!
| ||||
Peppy Piñata Party[]  |
|
|
5,000 words | |
This is a bird I believe Velts would very much enjoy having around. Katock's a creature made for battle, with skin stronger than it looks and sharp talons ready to tear into anything trying to attack it. On one hand, ten battles will be a great workout... on the other hand, I get the feeling I'll want a ranged weapon.
| ||||
Prime Birb Time[]  |
|
|
|
3,250 words |
It's not just the little ducklings and their family that have made their way to the Shrine, it's all of Monvoisin's birds as well. I guess I shouldn't be surprised to see Gayol, Peq, and Ralbone all hanging out, squawking up a storm. If Gayol thinks I'm going to wake up extra early though, we're going to have some battles.

Stick & Stones[]  |
 |
  |
|
5,000 words |
I think the being who came up with the expression "sticks and stones may break my bones" had marionettes and golems in mind, especially since the two creatures originally needed everyone to pitch in to take them down. At least I don't have Untu cackling around me or Monvoisin's magic to deal with. Just me and the monsters. Ahem. Creatures.
| ||||
A Colossal Quest[]  |
    |
        |
|
8,500 words |
Thanks to how the Shrine was created, it's much larger on the inside than the outside. If it wasn't, I would be squished by all of the giant creatures gathering in here. These are creatures I've heard epic battle stories about from other Dust Warriors, and it's time to make my mark by battling each one.
| ||||
Prime Party Piñata[]  |
|
|
2,500 words | |
Dust Warriors are a diverse group of beings and whenever they gather there are some who go off to train alone, some who challenge others to train together, and others who enjoy their time off. I've noticed though, that if there are Takras nearby, then a lot more beings join for fun activities involving piñatas, confetti, and delicious snacks.

The Shrine-Stone Trail[]  |
|
 |
25,000 words | |
In the past there were Caravans, but many of them closed their routes to others in an attempt to keep the information about their movements and numbers safe. Motes stabilized a path through the Valley via the Shrine, and so the Shrine Stone Trail was created. Only five caravans at a time, and to keep it fair the leaders switch.

Fighters, Friends, Foes[]  |
 |
|
2,000 words | |
The Untu arrived in the Oge-Mai Valley years ago (from another planet!), and have alternately been our friends and foes. What's never changed is that they're also great fighters, and love to take the time to spar and train with others. There are also Untu who enjoyed partying, strengthening the friendship part and having "fights" focused on dancing and contests.
| ||||
Cut the Strings[]  |
 |
  |
|
1,290 words |
Meeting Marionettes at first, it was a bit... unnerving to interact with creatures who only moved their bodies and didn't do the little things other beings did, such as breathing and blinking. I wonder, though, if Monvoisin is still pulling their strings, even if she's not here? I'll have to ask all the Marionettes I'll battle, so time to start!
| ||||
Tears and Feathers[]  |
  |
 (wardrobe) |
4,500 words | |
Halores is one an easy marionette to pick out, which is a good thing since there's a contest going around the Shrine to see which Dust Warrior can defeat five of them first. I've also been hearing a rumor going around about there being a special wardrobe reward at the end of the quest, and honestly? That's kind of Halores.
| ||||
Peace and Sunflowers[]  |
 |
|
3,334 words | |
The Untu who have visited us have been both friends and foes, and in Mahor's case, friendship always comes first. They'll offer flowers to Dust Warriors who need cheering, and make jokes about offering only stems (at least, I think it's a joke? Maybe they really did forget which hand was holding which...). Two have offered to spar with me.
| ||||
A Carnival Festival[]  |
   |
|
|
6,637 words |
The Oge-Mai Carnival is back and many more beings and creatures have joined the Shrine! (Motes could probably used some tea or coffee at this point). Time to get fired up and have a go at defeating all of the new inhabitants. Defeating one each of all the Carnival Untu and Marionnettes is a great starting place for Shrine sparring!

More Oozes have been discovered (rediscovered?) in the Shrine and Motes is having a hard time herding them together, so he's requested your help. Defeat one of each to bring order back to the Shrine (and to see some of the cool designs Oozes can pick up)! I wonder if they can copy writing from the news? Or my Lorebook?

Cute Confetti Cannons![] |
|
|
1,776 words | |
When it comes time to have a festival, Afeppti don't mess around. Each of these little oozes is built like a confetti cannon and they are happy to lend a hand to any festivities! Defeat four of them, and that should be enough of a start to what's sure to be a fun (and very loud) time in the Shrine!
| ||||
Gather Lucky Stars[]  |
|
|
1,500 words | |
There's something about Sothai that brings a smile to Dust Warriors. Maybe it's the confused expression on its face, as if they're confused about something, or maybe it's the collection of stars and moons it keeps adding to. Either way, defeat ten of them and you might be able to find your constellation on the facets of their crystalline body!

Usually, these Fools' Wrimos are only seen during certain months of the year, but no matter when they pop up, you'll know that many writers around the world are gearing up to put their stories into words. Now that they're in the Shrine, defeat 10 Fools' Wrimos to get a start for April, July, or November, whichever month is closer.

Fool Me Once[]  |
      |
     |
|
1,130 words |
The Fools have appeared in the Shrine, adding their antics and noise to the menagerie of creatures already here. Defeat one of each, and that should be enough to help them calm down so that they can settle into their new home. (Don't let those cute expressions fool you though, they can be pretty vicious when they want to be.)

When Tylu Portal[]  |
|
|
|
2,250 words |
Fools are creatures that sometimes have a counterpart, somewhere, out in the Oge-Mai Valley. Tylus are one of them. The Fool is a bright blue so as to attract unwary predators, while the orange Tylu blends into the shadows of Mama Tree in order to ambush its prey. Both of them are dangerous in their own ways, so take precautions.

Our Valley Leaders[]  |
        |
     |
  |
10,144 words |
The Valley's leaders are a group of tough beings. Each of them like to impart lessons to any attentive Dust Warrior, and being together has only made them eager to have the "best" and "most needed" piece of information. Honestly, fighting all of them is going to teach me a lot, so I'm not too worried about forgetting a lesson.
| ||||
A Teacher's Lessons[]  |
|
|
|
2,688 words |
Elder Bavata's taking advantage of the Shrine to impart a lesson. It'll be me and Nabia against each other first, with the winner fighting two rounds against Bavata. She looks old, but that woman can use magic to enhance her strengths and her dagger's been at her hip since the Mama Tree Station attack, to say nothing of her staff.
| ||||
Battle of Love[]  |
|
|
  |
4,576 words |
Lovers have tiffs, but that's not why Etta and Nabia have been practicing their attacks and defenses. With danger around every corner, Dust listening from the treetops, and worries about what's going to happen next in the Valley, they've been sparring, and growing too accustomed to each other, which is why I'm here. Four fights each, winner gets a set of Ardi Lamp Earrings.
| ||||
Tesven's History[]  |
|
  |
21,000 words | |
Tesven usually hangs around Luciola, so it's interesting to see that he's been spending some time in the Shrine as well. I'd like to talk with him a bit more, especially since he seems to know a lot of the Valley's history. I wonder if it'd be easier to bribe him with Dí, rather than dragging out information during battles?
| ||||
Allies in Arms[]  |
|
|
  |
12,000 words |
King Wilipo and the Governor might not be good friends, but they're allies in arms since Three Points Crossing and Balance are close to each other (Riza's in the middle, but Luko tends to stay away from both of them for some reason). They've banded together and have offered to train me, and teach me everything they know about fighting.
| ||||
First True Companion[]  |
|
|
12,000 words | |
The first companion to offer aid to new Dust Warriors, some would call Suwö a "true companion," and for the journey so far, he's been right at my side. We've sparred a few times when making camp for the night, but he's recently been pushing for a "fight of truth." Him and me, four fights; winner gets a bag of Shrine Stones.

       |
|
7,221 words |
Walked into the Shrine earlier, and for a second I thought I'd entered a market! There were calls for cloth, alterations, and total coinage from the merchants and tailors, the needs ands wants quickly shouted over my head. It took a few minutes to settle into the rhythm, calling out that I'm open to battling everyone here at least once.
| ||||
Clothing and Coins[]  |
|
|
  |
28,884 words |
I've decided to push on and defeat everyone four times; sparring against them one time each isn't enough. It took me climbing onto a table and cupping my hands to make my voice heard, but thankfully Alex was the first to respond. With him on board, and ready to scrap, all the others will be happy to aid my training!
| ||||
Braving the Tailor[]  |
|
|
  |
7,768 words |
The tailors in the Valley are a group of beings that can very much hold their own. They keep talking about "defeating seven in one blow," but when asked seven of what, they switch the topic to something, anything, else. I'm going to brave the tailors and see if I can one up their accomplishment by defeating 8 of each.
| ||||
Coins for Bargaining[]  |
|
|
 |
22,500 words |
If the tailors here are easy to distract by asking about the stitches they use, then the merchants are easy to distract with an offer of bargaining. I found out it doesn't matter if there are any items in the room or not, they're willing to pay and negotiate for future favors, like helping Luko and Pina clean the inn.
| ||||
Silver Tongued Companion[]  |
|
  |
25,000 words | |
Azadi is full of knowledge and she has had more than ample experience learning how to change a person's mind. I'm learning he truly has a silver tongue, and I feel that their weapon's edge might actually be dull in comparison. We've decided on ten battles total, winner takes all. Should I ask for items or information when I win?
| ||||
Our Luciola Friends[]  |
|
|
|
3,312 words |
Luciola Forest was the place where I began my journey to becoming the Dust Warrior that I am today, so I've pulled Tailor Marai and Alex to the side for a special battle. I'm sure Alex would like his turtle to join, but thankfully it's just us three, or should I say, it'll be two on one for the fight?

      |
|
5,790 words |
When I put on the Water Bracelet I half expected to be submerged underwater, luckily Motes is not so cruel. What I found instead were friends from the Water Towns ready to meet me in battle. If there is one thing I've learned about those who live close to the mighty River is that they have a strength and tenacity like few others. It's time to put my own strength to the test.
| ||||
Water Ways (2/2)[] |
|
|
  |
34,740 words |
Luko enjoys making sure that those who are about to travel upriver are prepared for the journey ahead. Here in the Shrine, where if you listen closely enough you can hear the rumble of the waters above, Luko seems inspired to push even further. They've asked each water member to challenge me six times in battle. The waves of water will make me stronger, so he says.
| ||||
Always with the Yelling[]  |
|
|
4,350 words | |
A voice as loud as Qirab's should not be allowed to yell in the tight space of the Shrine of Ages. Yet, here ze is, yelling about the latest Festival to take place in the Valley. For my own good, and the good of my fellow Shrine visitors, I'll defeat Qirab in battle enough times to tire zem so ze won't have the energy to yell. I hope it works, please Ancients, let it work!
| ||||
Taming The River[]  |
|
|
|
11,700 words |
Captain Caigava is an expert in navigating the great River on the surface level, surfing the waves, knowing when to push and when to let the winds do the work. Kuyurata is an expert beneath the surface and knows everything there is to know about life underwater. When you combine these great teachers you'll be left with everything you need to know about taming the great River. I've been lucky enough to have them both offer me their knowledge in exchange for me showing them what I know about battle.

Through years of watching travelers go in and out of Luko's Inn, Pina has learned to be mindful of new friends. But, those she does trust, she trusts enough to give them a set of keys to the main doors of Luko's Inn. If I'm able to defeat her 10 times in battle she'll award me with my own set of keys. A keepsake I can hang in my own home. A sign that I have earned the trust of those who care after Luko's Inn and that I am welcomed in those warm halls whenever I please.

Magic is Power (1/2)[]  |
     |
      |
|
5,884 words |
I've moved through the Valley, learning how to fight almost everything, and I've seen many different fighting types. Big and strong, small and fast, poisonous, camouflaged, by air, under ground, etc. Still, it wasn't until I met magic possessing beings in battle that I understood that magic holds power. One word, one gaze... I still have so much to learn!
| ||||
Magic is Power (2/2)[] |
|
|
  |
23,536 words |
Meeting the Shamans and Barliar in this way has shown me how there can be magic in anything if one's attuned to it. Every element, every place, every state holds magic and it is up to the observer to draw it out. This will be a valuable lesson as I journey farther into the world. Magic is with me, always.
| ||||
Study Your Enemy[] |
|
  |
17,500 words | |
Kyiat's taught me many things, including studying enemies deeply to defeat them. It's not enough to be strong. It's not enough to know how to fight. One must learn an enemy's strengths, weaknesses, fears, and desires. For this lesson, for getting too close to Dust, Kyiat paid the price of being removed as a Shaman. That hasn't stopped her though.
| ||||
Life, Death, & Hammers[]  |
|
|
2,000 words | |
Barliar's not the lead blacksmith of Three Points Crossing because of his strength, it's because of his relationship with the elements. In every ring of his hammer, Barliar purifies the materials he works with, burning the past and Dust off them so they can be forged into a new life. In that process of death and rebirth, Barliar finds his magic.
| ||||
Upon the Winds[]  |
|
|
6,160 words | |
Alia of Air is the leader of the Shaman clan and has chosen Mama Tree as her place of residence. If lucky, I can see her running on the highest branches, skipping so that she seems to fly with every hop. Here in the Shrine, where the air is lesser, she's the easiest to defeat. I wonder what kind of opponent she'd be at the top of Mama Tree, in her element.

Our Flag Flies (1/2)[]  |
      |
      |
 |
7,017 words |
There's nothing more fearsome on the seas than a pirate crew, and I have to admit, the Untu pirates look as if they can handle any monster that comes after them. Sea or air, they've got each area covered. Since I'm meeting the crew, I'll introduce myself and check out Untu fighting styles. I'm sure there's new moves to learn.
| ||||
Our Flag Flies (2/2)[]  |
|
|
   |
21,051 words |
I think this crew has some wild habits and unique ideas that I can use in my day-to-day fighting. Since I've learned so much from just having a quick lesson with them, I've offered a challenge to defeat everyone on board three times each. What's the expression? You can't lose if you're still learning in the process? That'll be me!
| ||||
Beyond Just Battling[]  |
|
|
 |
14,000 words |
It's been a few fine days in the air, and many of the crew have talents beyond fighting, so that's what I'm looking for this time. Coprinus has some great jokes (which do help them gain the upper hand in battle), and Hericum knows how to take a hit and get back up (which is good for airship accidents too)..
| ||||
Under Competent Command[]  |
|
  |
 |
27,500 words |
Gomphus likes to think they're in charge of the ship, and after watching the crew working together, I have to admit that they know how to get everyone working toward the same goal. I wonder if I can use any of their ideas when it comes to writing—it can be hard to make ideas form a completed puzzle, that's true.
| ||||
Quiet Waters, Quiet Wisdom[]  |
|
    |
 |
12,500 words |
Amanita is one of the quieter crew members, but I'm not sure if that's because they've chipped one of their fangs and they're worried about the other one being broken, or if they're just someone who worries a lot about what could be. I'm going to spar with them and see if they have any wisdom they want to share.
| ||||
Repeating for Stamina[]  |
|
  |
 |
23,835 words |
There’s endurance battles, and then there are endurance quests—I can already feel that this is going to be a great way to build up lots of stamina. The good news is that it’s not a timed quest, defeating three Untu six times each. The… “interesting” news is that it is repeatable, so I can continue as many times as I wish.
| ||||
Ten Hericium Efforts[]  |
|
 |
7,500 words | |
A challenge has arisen from the crew, and when I asked what it entailed, I was told that it's a timed event. Anyone who enters will have 4 days to defeat 10 Hericium. If they can do that, then they'll earn a reward. I'm not sure what it is, but I already know I want it and I'll win it!

The Great Glitch Game (1/3)[]  |
      |
Unlocks The Great Glitch Game (2/3) |
300 words | |
|
Glitches have taken over the Shrine and while more than a few of us weren't sure where to start, a fellow Dust Warrior had a great idea. They suggested treating glitch removal like a video game! First level is only the Glitches in the 100s, then second level is 200s, and third is 300s. Okay, I'm game for some fun!
| ||||
The Great Glitch Game (2/3)[] Unlocked by The Great Glitch Game (1/3) |
      |
Unlocks The Great Glitch Game (3/3) |
750 words | |
|
First level's been cleared, now it's time for all the Glitches that start with a 2. They're going to be a bit harder to hit in my opinion, since they're faster. Others on the other hand have mentioned that the Glitches are bigger targets, which is also true. Ah well! As long as we clear them out, it'll be fine.
| ||||
The Great Glitch Game (3/3)[] Unlocked by The Great Glitch Game (2/3) |
      |
 |
1,500 words | |
|
It's time for the final level, which is good because this set of Glitches is 100% much tougher and more stubborn than the other ones. I can't say it's anything like a boss battle though. They aren't changing shape when they're halfway to being defeated, and there's no background music either. A few more and these quests will be done!
| ||||
Capturing the Quick[]  |
|
|
2,750 words | |
|
There's a Glitch that moves fluidly, almost as if it's surfing, and yet there's not a single scrap of blue surrounding it (so clearly it's not surfing). I'm going to catch it and try to find the answers to my questions. Is it using moss to surf? Is it playing around with a skateboard? I want to travel fast too!
| ||||
Imitation and Flattery[]  |
|
 |
1,000 words | |
|
All this running around after Glitches is making my hair fluff out... which, amusingly, is very similar to the wing I think I see on Glitch 101. I'm going to sneak a bit closer and see how our different styles compare. Who knows, we might even look identical when it comes to those parts of our bodies! (Doubtful, but maybe.)
| ||||
Looking Through Glitches[]  |
|
 |
2,500 words | |
|
Glitch 302 is large, horned, and looks like it has some sort of gas coming out of its body. There's also talk about an ingenious Dust Warrior using that unique shape to make a set of goggles in a similar style. If I defeat four of them, I should be able to snag a pair of those goggles for myself!
| ||||
Grab the Horns![]  |
|
 |
3,500 words | |
|
There's one Glitch here which is exceptionally fast, and which likes to rifle in pockets. I'm not sure if it's looking for food, coins, or something else it considers valuable, but I'm tired of losing items to it. I'm going to grab it by the horns and convince it to look through the pockets of someone else (I don't care who).
| ||||
Tired? Get a Glitch![]  |
|
 |
5,350 words | |
|
Whew, defending against this many Glitches at once is draining me of energy. Too bad I can't use electricity like they are. I swear, as soon as one is down and almost defeated, it... Well, it glitches and gets the energy to keep going. Hmm... I wonder if that energy could be trapped inside a circuit to help Dust Warriors?
| ||||
Warning! Code 415[]  |
|
 |
1,000 words | |
|
Having all these Glitches in the Shrine is starting to affect some of the rewards, if that broken looking path is anything to go by. Sure, it looks interesting, but who is willing to put their full weight onto something that doesn't look like it can hold up a Wignow? It looks like it's made of a completely unsupported format!

Pruning the Forest[]  Repeatable |
    |
  |
 |
2,450 words (if you have the items) |
Some of these marionettes have still growing wood attached to them, and I wonder (if a person can collect it), if it'll be just ordinary wood or if it'll be magical wood like the marionettes are. There's only one way to find out! I really hope I'll have magical wood to work with—maybe I can make a speaking writing desk!
| ||||
Checking the Gem[]  |
|
 |
3,750 words | |
Looking over the marionettes I can see, I think there display different inner energies. I mean, think about it! There's a batch of metal ones, several who still appear to have all of their greenery intact, and then there are a few with nothing but wood. Hmm... And I think Ceratonia is the only one with a gem. That's strange.
| ||||
Starting at the Beginning[]  |
  |
 |
7,500 words (if you have the items) | |
I don't know who made all of these marionettes, but honestly, I've got my coins on Skuppa. He did build that giant golem after all. He won't admit to building these monsters though, even if he's given me a bit of information about the process. Apparently it's common for a person to make multiples, and then grant autonomy when satisfied.
| ||||
Mix It Up![]  Repeatable |
      |
 |
11,000 words | |
I noticed before that marionettes don't need to be made only out of wood, and I think Einang, Wiwaz, and Lambre are the best examples of what adding metal can do to help creation. I love seeing how Wiwaz's hair moves after quick actions, and Lambre is great to spar against—I can never tell which way those springs will bounce!
| ||||
Shaping the Wood[]  |
    |
 |
4,900 words | |
Marionettes don't have to be completely crafted from wood, and there are even a few of them which have dead wood attached to them. I'm checking if that's something they've added or if it's was crafted to be part of them, almost like a homage to the dark woods they originally came from (creepy monsters come from creepy places, right?)
| ||||
Good, Bad, Both (1/2)[] |
    |
|
2,111 words | |
I've heard that people can be conflicted about what to do in certain situations, but the fact that Azuris and Asuras have two brains controlling one body seems like it would be annoying. Do they switch control every other day? Do they take turns deciding what to do? I'm also curious to know if they've every agreed on something, anything!
| ||||
Good, Bad, Both (2/2)[]  |
 |
  |
 |
8,444 words (if you have the items) |
So, I've battled each marionette, and I honestly can't tell how they take action. I think digging up this information is going to take a lot more time, and a few more battles. I feel that I need to know, and I'm curious as to what's driving this need. Do I have a Nabia on my shoulder, shouting "FOR SCIENCE!"?

Historical Archive[]
This area made use of assorted availability mechanics, such as availability by day and by wardrobe items presently being worn by your avatar, making cataloguing the wilderness difficult. Unlike other areas where each quest's lore was purely decorative, in this area careful attention had to be paid to the introductory paragraph as it contained clues about how to complete the quest. Adding to the challenge of the puzzle, the dev team changed which creatures were available here unannounced. For these reason, even Dust Warriors who normally avoided spoilers often made use of them in the Shrine.

From the Beginning (1/4)[]  |
 |
  Unlock Time and Place (2/4) |
|
The Shrine has been discovered and it's amazing! Each Desert Expedition member has left something behind, including a small inscription saying "Ends can be new beginnings." It makes me feel a little nostalgic for when I first became a Dust Warrior. I wonder... do I still have that leafy shirt?

Time and Place (2/4)[]  |
     |
  Unlock The Write Stuff (3/4) |
|
Ahhh... the Shrine's affected by what I wear. Going to go out on a limb, I think there's other ways of attracting unique creatures, and time's easy to check. I might not have access to a time and random dimension in space, but I can pop in on different days.

The Write Stuff (3/4)[]  |
 |
Unlock Shrine Mission Accomplished (4/4) |
|
Okay, I've seen how the shrine reacts when I'm wearing very specific items. It's pretty cool that it can somehow sense what I'm wearing. Maybe there's a specific energy that each item gives off? Anyhow, time to see what else it'll react to. Can it read what's in my inventory?

Shrine Mission Accomplished (4/4)[] |
    |
  |
|
Well... that was interesting! And I have the feeling that I've only scratched the surface of what the Shrine is hiding... I wonder if wearing something from Three Points Crossing will trigger a different creature than items from other areas? And if outcomes are dependent on reaching magical number combinations?
