It is time for the ritual. I sense the Aetheric tempest rising.

Sealed in Indratu Fortress is the soul of the Dragon Sword. I'll give you this Calling Stone, which can summon the Dragon Sword's avatar.

It's normally lifeless, but when the Aether reaches its xenith that unique ability awakens.

Go to Indratu Fortress and search for the Balaur Artifact. Use the Calling Stone to awaken the artifact and the Drake will show itself.

Dragon Sword chooses its master, so the Drake must submit to you.

Defeat Avatar Malak and bring me the Soul Piece it will leave behind. I'll do the rest.

The Balaur Artifact is found outside Indratu Fortress. Naturally, it's heavily guarded.

This is the final test, so hurry and return with the Soul Piece. Your destiny is at hand!

Did you cook the soup only to feed someone else?!

We have all the pieces! All that remains is to dominate the spirit of the sword!

You'd best change your mind!

Dragon Sword's Avatar would be difficult to handle alone. It's almost as willful as someone I could name....

Still, I see you standing before me. I can only assume you survived.

Did you acquire the Soul Piece? Did you succeed?

You haven't left yet?

Dragon Sword is anxiously awaiting its master!

Defeat Avatar Malak and return with the Soul Piece! We're almost out of time!

This is definitely the Soul Piece. See how the blade and the soul resonate?

The sword has accepted you as its master, your character. You have done it!

Take up your blade, champion. You'll have a new ally in the battles ahead.

1. Summon Avatar Malak at the Balaur Artifact and subdue it, obtain the proof, and return to Anusis

   Soul Piece

Follow Anusis's instructions and go to the Indratu Fortress to defeat Avatar Malak and obtain the Soul Piece.

Anusis told you that to become master of the Dragon Sword, you must defeat the Dragon Sword's avatar and obtain the Soul Piece.

You took the key given to you by Anusis to the Balaur Artifact at the Indratu Fortress and there, Avatar Malak appeared.

You defeated the avatar and returned with the Soul Piece. Anusis gave you the completed artifact.
