Lodespring Crossing

Nailed it!

There's a wall of light blocking the way... Is this the barrier Royle was talking about?

You're probably right.

When we destroyed the Ankhor, that barrier seemed to change as well.

Yeah. A piece is obviously missing from the symbols! These Ankhors definitely have something to do with this barrier.

Indeed. We know little about the situation in this area. Stay vigilant, team.

Let's go and take out the remaining Ankhors.

The Ankhors are slowing our progress to reach the Cradle of the Ages...

This is such a hassle... Luckily we have these Originium branches.

But how do these Originium branches block the shockwave? Are they any different from the usual Originium ore?

These branches seem to respond to our Endministrator... After all, the Great Oak does owe its existence to the Endmin.

The other Originium formations we found along the way do not share such structural properties. Perhaps we'll know more once we restore the Endmin's memories.

I ... I don't know how to th-thank you. I thought we were all going to, to, to die here...

Things would've ended horribly for us if wasn't for you... You saved us all.

It's what we do. Are you alright? Is anyone hurt?

Everyone's alright! The glowing branches saved us! All the stories that Granny Jenner told us are true!

Good. The shockwaves have ended. Can you make it back to the Mining Camp on your own?

Wait! Hold on! We, we, we were... Hngh..

Just breathe easy. Relax. Things have settled down already.

Okay... We saw a strange figure while escaping to this place... I-I've never seen an Archosauria in the Valley...

Nefarith...

She suddenly disappeared when the barrier showed up. I thought I was seeing things... My gut tells me that she's dangerous...

Don't worry. There's no need to think about this right now. Just return to camp and rest well. We'll handle things from here.

You're my saviors. I believe in you.

The road ahead is out. Perhaps we can help you out a bit by using that crane over there.

Good luck out there.

I knew it! Nefarith was the one who left the barrier and all those Ankhors.

It doesn't matter what she's going to leave behind. We must end her schemes. Let's go, team!

Thank goodness you're alright! I was getting worried about you!

The last Ankhor should be in the Logistics Area. Go ahead and take a short break. I'll clear the roads for you.

We can connect Tata to the signal tower and perform another regional scan like we did before.

Once the scan is complete, we'll park Tata at this place.

This is the last Ankhor.

Cradle of the Ages... I wonder what it's like inside right now.

To take down the Aggelos inside there, the UWST was forced to detonate the Great Originium Oak... Endmin, your top priority is to keep yourself safe, no matter what happens. Chen, I'm counting on you as well.

The barrier to the Cradle of the Ages should be gone. Let's head back.

Leave it to me.
