Solution

A traveler and Paimon are enjoying a hot spring break when Mualani tells of the recent victory over the Abyss and how its destructive forces sought to destroy each tribe individually. Returning to the stadium of the Sacred Flame, the heroes witness a terrible incident: the Archon was unable to resurrect Kachina, who died during the expedition to the Abyss.

Walk through the settlement of the Rodniki people

After completing the events of the first Archon quest, wait two days and go to the cave with the abandoned hot spring that Mualani previously restored for Athea. A friend will meet the vacationers and invite them to go fishing together.

The plans are disrupted by the news that the team of heroes who won the Pilgrimage have already returned from the War of the Night Watch and arrived at the stadium. For some warriors, the expedition did not without a trace: Kachina died in battle with the Abyss, but can soon return to life after performing a resurrection ritual.

Head to the Stadium of the Holy Flame

Putting your fishing aside, head to the stadium with Mualani to greet the returning heroes and take part in the Ode of Resurrection. Piro Archon will enter the Sacred Flame and go to the Kingdom of Night to return the hero from it, and the Natlans gathered in the stands at this time will perform a ritual song.

Mavuika, despite her efforts, will return from the flames alone and report that Kachina is not in the Kingdom of Night. The Archon will quickly deal with the chaos in the stadium and invite the chosen heroes to discuss the new plan in private.

Go to the House of Councilors and talk to Mavuika. The fire deity will tell you about another way to bring Kachina back to life, but this requires volunteers who can not only find her ancient name using a special device, but also go after the girl to the Kingdom of Night. Mualani and Chaska will offer their help, and the Traveler will only have to their team.

Left alone with Snowy a battle will take place, as a result of which the latter will flee from the battlefield.

Quest reward:

• 700 adventure experience;
• 31 mora;
• 3 books of hero experience;
• 6 magical enhancement ore.

To save Kachina, who is trapped in the Kingdom of Night, she will have to find her ancient name using a special device. According to Kinich, the necessary tool is now in the settlement of the Descendants of Kron. Go to the tribal elder to borrow the device and find the name needed to find the girl.

the Kron Descendants tribe

Following Kinich's directions, visit the community's main settlement, Dendro, and meet with its leader, standing at the largest tent in the village. Talk to Wayne, the tribe leader, and explain the situation. The man will agree to give the necessary tool, but will advise you to find a good guide who could activate it and find the name in the Kingdom of Night.

Find Vichama

On Wine's advice, find the legendary scout Vichamu in the settlement. A man sits on the edge of the platform not far from where they spoke with the leader. The warrior will agree to help the team find Kachina's name, but in exchange he will ask for a small favor: to allow him to find the name of his dead friend Malko.

Prepare to search for an ancient name

To carry out the ritual, in addition to a special tool, Vichama will need other items. According to him, everything you need can be found right in the settlement and purchased from local merchants.

Where to find ropes with hooks

Go down one level and talk to the merchant Amauta. Mualani will offer to buy back all the ropes and hooks she has and will pay for the goods from her own pocket.

Where to find two pieces of obsidian

You can buy obsidian in the same place, in the shop next to Amauta. Trader Pahaten will not only find two stone fragments, but will also tell you a little more about Malko and Vicham.

Meet Vichama on the cliff outside the settlement to give him the items you've collected. The man will begin the ritual and ask you to be careful in your actions.

You can quickly get to it by driving four leaf symbols.

Collect fragments of the ancient name

During the ritual, the mechanism launched by Vichama will periodically emit 3-4 balls of light. Approach the landed golden fragments and collect them to obtain particles of the ancient name. The overall collection progress is shown in a symbol at the top of the screen. After some time, the uncollected clots will disappear, after which the tool will release new ones.

About halfway through the ritual, the process will be interrupted by the forces of the Abyss. Fight the Dark Saurians and the Pyro Mage to continue collecting fragments.

Thanks to Vichama's efforts, the team will receive an ancient name, but the man himself will be trapped in the Abyss. To save him and gain some time while he searches for the name of his friend, the Traveler will try to absorb the dark forces that have captured the scout's body. Quickly press the Spacebar or the button on the screen to extract energy. Check on Vichama's condition after the ritual is completed and return to the Crown Descendants tribe to give the destroyed instrument to Uayna.
