Talk to Heledd

[You seek out Heledd in the Alchemy Shop in Tara.]

Heledd

Hey, CharacterName! I was hoping you'd come by.
I have a favor to ask of you.

• Continue

I had obtained a really rare crystal, but this evil alchemist stole it from me.
Ugh, it makes me so mad!
...I was wondering if you could get it back for me.

• Continue

As you know, this is the only place in Tara that carries alchemy items.
Knowing the Countess, it's not like I can leave the shop or anything.

• Continue

................

• Continue

Fine, I admit that my alchemy skill isn't that great.
I want to go and get it back myself but I'm not confident enough, ugh! Sniff/
But I can't just sit here and do nothing!

• Continue

CharacterName, if you get it back for me,
I'll give you a precious gift. I promise!

• Continue

I hear that the alchemist has gone to the Tara Shadow Realm.
I got a bad vibe from him, so be careful.
If you happen to fail the mission, come back and see me!

• End Conversation

Receiving the Crystal

[As requested by Heledd, you head to the Stonehenge in Tara and enter the Shadow Realm. In the Shadow Realm's Tara, you find several enemies waiting for you. You defeat them in order to move deeper into the city.]

[Cutscene]

[After taking down several enemies, you look around you and see Jenna.]

Jenna

CharacterName, it was you.
To meet you again in a place like this...
This is a strange fate.

• Continue

...Hmm. If you are looking for the Alchemist in Shadow Realm,
it might be related to my activities here.

• Continue

I've been collecting clues regarding the tragedy in Emain Macha and my father's death.
I'm slowly putting together the pieces of my lost childhood memories.

• Continue

CharacterName, I think we should work together from this point forward...
It appears that our paths might cross.

• Continue

[You and Jenna start moving deeper into the city.]

[End of Cutscene]

[Having teamed up with Jenna, the both of you begin to take down multiple waves of enemies. Each wave leads deeper into the city, leading to the square.]

[Upon initiating conversation with Jenna]

Jenna

I can't seem to remember anything about my father's death.
But I keep getting a suspicious, unpleasant feeling.

• Come with me

Yes, let's hurry.

• End Conversation

Let's hurry. Something doesn't seem right.

• End

[You and Jenna eventually make it to the Town Square.]

[Cutscene]

[A robed alchemist stands in the center of the square.]

Helvetius

I wonder who it was that was tracing my path.
Was it you, Jenna?
...This doesn't appear to be our first meeting.

• Continue

Jenna

How...how did you know my name?

• Continue

Helvetius

Not many survived the tragedy of Emain Macha.

• Continue

As I expected, you don't remember anything.
...Loss of memory.
Is this the universal fate of all those who suffered the nightmare of that Samhain night?

• Continue

I was also in a similar state not too long ago.
That is, until I recovered my memory using the Memory Crystal.

• Continue

Jenna

What I want to know
is the trust about my father's death.

• Continue

I heard that you hold the keys to the truth.

• Continue

Helvetius

The truth...
Do you happen to know the other reason why people cover their injuries with bandages?
It is because they lack the courage to face their wounds.

• Continue

[Helvetius assumes a combat stance.]

Helvetius

If you want to know the truth, you must defeat me here
and take this Memory Crystal.

• Continue

But before you make your move, you must ask yourself
whether you truly have the courage to face the truth.

• Continue

[Jenna assumes a combat stance as well.]

[End of Cutscene]

[Together with Jenna, you fight against Helvetius. Eventually, you come to defeat him.]

[Cutscene]

Onscreen message: ... Night time in Emain Macha

The nightmares that have faded into the darkness of the night

start to appear one by one.

I've heard rumors
about a Fomor raid in Coill Dungeon.

Onscreen message: It was at night when I heard unpleasant murmurs coming from somewhere.

When I awoke from my sleep and looked out of the windows with my blurry vision,
I saw a red glow of fire and plumes of dark smoke rising into the air.

Onscreen message: The strange mutterings started to spread rapidly, like the plague.

And strange footsteps grew louder.

I heard my father's voice trembling.

A cold hand...

Onscreen message: I think I grabbed my father's cold, shaky hands,
and came down the stairs.

When I opened the back door, I was taken aback by the intense heat.

Onscreen message: A shadow was following us. I could hear it.

I heard my father's scream

and watched him fall to the ground.

Who knows how much time passed,
but when I came to...

Onscreen message: the Lymilark Temple Knights
were fighting the Shadow.

Collen...
This was my first meeting with Collen.

Onscreen message: My lost memories are now slowly coming together.

I think I can recall the voice
behind the shadow.

They were voices belonging to humans,
not Fomors...

There weren't Fomor.
...they were human.

Onscreen message: ...They were Alchemists.

[End of Cutscene]

• Receive Alchemy Memory Crystal

Deliver the Crystal to Heledd

You're the best, CharacterName!

• Continue

Thank you so much. I'm so glad I got this rare alchemy crystal back.
The Memory Alchemy Crystal is created by using alchemy to synthesize the Connous Memorial Tower Fragment.
It is a crystal that can restore or erase a person's memory,
and I was worried that it was being used for evil purposes.
Anyway, thank you. I'll give you a reward.

• Continue

My gift to you is a new Alchemy skill.
It changes the property of a metal or ore... you've probably never heard of it.
I bet that even the nerdy Eabha doesn't know this skill, hehe.
I learned this skill from a famous alchemist. He once stopped by the shop, so I begged him to teach me.

• Continue

My other combat-type skills are quite lacking.
But at least I'm good at sticking with one thing. I also like making money as well, hehe.
This skill helped me a great deal while I trained my Refining and Blacksmith skill.

• Continue

Let me give you some instructions! You know the four essential alchemy elements, right? Water, fire, wind, and earth.
Well, all objects are said to be a mixture of those four elements.
The ratio of the elements within an object determines what type of metal or ore it happens to be.

• Continue

So, by masterfully manipulating the elements that already exist in an object,
you can easily transmute it to something completely different.
Just input the attribute of your desired metal, and just like that, you have that very metal.

• Continue

I hope it will come in handy for you, CharacterName!
And please! Make sure to tell everyone that
it was me, Heledd, who taught you the skill. After all, I can't brag about myself, hehe...
