Can you feel the cold spreading through the Abyss? I can feel the chill in my wings... it certainly is making troop movements incredibly difficult.

What's worse is Ereshkigal's forces seem to flourish under it. This cannot be allowed to continue, lest it spread in Atreia.

We've tracked the spread of the cold to these strange crystals dotting the Abyss landscape.

Collect Hard Ice Cores from the Collapsed Ice Crystals in the outer territories, and bring them to me. As you may know, destroying the crystals themselves will do nothing without collecting the cores. You need to bring the cores to me.

I'll give you this Alchemist's Extractor. It will protect you from the extreme cold when in close proximity to these crystals. Bring the cores back to me, and I'll see them dealt with.

Even if a Frost Crystal is small, you won't be able to stop it from spreading. This is extremely devious magic.

Their cores have to be burnt in a volcanic flame. That's the only thing hot enough to do the job.

Did you run into any trouble obtaining these?"

Returning empty-handed just won't do.

Get out there and get me those Hard Ice Cores from the Collapsed Ice Crystal.

Just looking at it makes me cold.

I'll send them out to be destroyed before they can cause any more trouble.

If we can stop this cold from spreading, we'll eventually be able to start beating it back.

Stick around. I'm sure there will always be more crystals to destroy and cores to collect.

1. Gather Hard Ice Core and then report to Landing Officer.

   Hard Ice Core x6

2. Talk with the Landing Officer.

Destroy the Crystals responsible for the spreading cold in the Upper Abyss and gather their cores.

The reinforcement officer at the Landing asked you to do something about the spreading cold in the Abyss.

You gathered cores to be destroyed and were rewarded for your efforts.
