Generation 21: The Guardian's Path

< Generation 20: The Gate of Sanctuary Generation 22: Apocalypse >

This article contains spoilers. If you do not wish to read further, please return to the home page.

For the script of this questline, see Script - Generation 21: The Guardian's Path.

You may start Generation 21 after finishing Generation 20: The Gate of Sanctuary, but it is suggested to do the other Mainstream Quests to understand the story more. The quests in this Generation will appear under the "The Divine Knights" tab. During the Generation Boost Event, this generation is made easier.

Generation 21: The Guardian's Path (Chapter 6 Finale) is the third and last part of Chapter 6. The race continues to The Elder's body between the Alban Knights and the Prophets in the Knights' forgotten sanctuary, Avalon. Meanwhile, the Milletian struggles to balance their numerous powers and accomplishments boiling within them, questioning their purpose on Erinn.

All missions in this storyline are fixed to Basic difficulty. (?)

Warning: During the portions of this Generation that take place in Avalon, both of the Avalon Field Raids (Sylvan Dragon and Mokkurkalfi) can spawn and attack the player during cutscenes or while talking to the NPCs. Use extreme caution when a raid is in progress if a quest objective is near a Raid Zone, and waiting for a Raid to end might be needed.

Some Holy Sprites may spawn on the way to the barrier. Using Bash and Charge should help you do this with plenty of time to spare. The Holy Sprites are not to be underestimated despite Altam having Rank 1 skills; you may wish to "lure" sprites away from the others. Getting defeated will result in failure. Stepping in particular areas will cause you to be trapped in a crystal. These areas are revealed as gray swirls when the message "A powerful wind blows through the temple" appears. Attack the crystal to escape. Destroy the barrier. A cutscene will occur. Talk to Altam. Complete the quest. [100,000 EXP, 10,000 G]

The New Divinity

	Name	The New Divinity	NPC	Merlin, Talvish
	Information	C'mon, keep it together, Merlin. You've got this... Uh, I mean... You! YOU'VE got this! Ugh... Man, that looks like it really hurts. Are you all right? Don't you go and die on me! I mean, yeah, death works differently for you, but still! - Merlin
Instruction	Talk to Merlin. Prompted: ...... or ...What? Talk to Talvish. You will be prompted to enter a Shadow Mission, Engage in Battle (Enter Mission) or Forfeit. Afterwards, you will enter Shadow Mission Guardians [100,000 EXP; 30,000G] Fight Talvish. When Talvish waves his arm in front of himself, he will emit a sound similar to casting Meditation and the two reapers at his sides will somersault and release two long waves of dark energy forward at your position. The direction of the attack is locked as soon as Talvish begins his animation, so take that time to move out of the way. When Talvish says "I'm sorry..." he will raise up and summon five Judgment Blade attacks which fall away from him, it is generally safest underneath him during this time. Afterwards, he will release a wave of red energy, instantly killing you if you fail to use Shield of Trust. When Talvish says "I will show you the proof of the prophecy", he will rise up and attack with Celestial Spike. This causes drastic movement speed reduction, and applies a debuff that prevents using Crusader Skills, potentially causing death by the Judgment Blade wave mentioned above. Stop this by hitting Talvish with Judgment Blade or Windmill before the attack finishes, or get away from him with Anchor Rush. Talvish can Teleport and also use Rage Impact to stun you at close range. Pets and Partners cannot be used; they will automatically be desummoned. Talvish passively takes 80% less damage from Bash, Final Hit, Firebolt, and Chain Impale. The use of Smash, Judgment Blade, Lightning Rod, Magnum Shot, or Chain Crush is advised. Drop his health down to 80%. After a while, a cutscene will occur and you will receive Nascent Divinity, Divine Blast, Blink, and Nova Obliteration at Rank Novice. Hide from Talvish as soon as he reaches 80% health, as he can kill you during the dialogue. Bring his health down to 30%. Dialogue occurs and the mission will complete and exit. Talvish will now start using Ice Spear and Lightning Rod. Nascent Divinity is the transformation that allows the use of Divinity Skills, but also prevents you from using any other skill except for Crusader Skills. In this fight, it has unlimited duration and no cooldown. Divine Blast is a ranged normal attack. Attacking with the gauge that appears filled to max will increase its damage and grants a Divinity Stack that increases Nova Obliteration's damage. Blink is a teleport, and can be used to avoid his scythe. Nova Obliteration is an area of effect that causes massive damage, increased by the amount of Divinity Stacks. Celestial Spike can grant large amounts of Divinity Stacks, but use this at your own risk. While the dialog ending the mission plays, it is still possible for Talvish to kill you, in which case the mission will fail without giving an opportunity to revive via Nao's Soul Stones. As soon as Talvish's health is below 30%, run away and hide, and when the dialog ending the mission starts, click through it as fast as you can. Note that you can deactivate Nascent Divinity if using your normal skills are more effective. Talvish is perfectly vulnerable to Meteor Strike. Complete the quest. [50,000 EXP, 5,000 G, Nascent Divinity: Rank F; Divine Blast: Rank F; Blink: Rank F; Nova Obliteration: Rank F]
