Dialogue[edit]

Before the event starts
Vanak Faithwalker: I need any ward in the area on my position, now! I've got a plan, but I need help!
If the Help Sergeant Lund fight off the invading Kryptis event is active
Vanak Faithwalker: Are you trying to blow my cover? Go help out Lund over there first.
Talk end option tango.png Sorry, I'll come back.
Event trigger
Vanak Faithwalker: Wayfinder, hmm... Having you here changes things. I could use some help with casting a spell. If done well, we'd land a decent blow against the Kryptis. You in?
Talk ready option.png You better believe it!
Talk end option tango.png Soon. I need to take care of something first.
Event start
Vanak Faithwalker: All right, this is a precise ritual; the more people we can get performing the steps, the better.
Vanak Faithwalker: I need people to stand in each of these spots and mimic my every move to increase the power of the spell.
Vanak Faithwalker: There's more Kryptis here than we can handle, though, so the rest of you will need to hold them off while we work.

Vanak Faithwalker: We seek out the source of magic around us.
While casting  Renew Focus.png Renew Focus visible by Renew Focus map icon.png
Vanak Faithwalker: We focus our thoughts on our foes.
While casting  Envision the Stars.png Envision the Stars visible by Envision the Stars map icon.png
Vanak Faithwalker: We envision the stars falling.
While casting  Beckon the Skies.png Beckon the Skies visible by Beckon the Skies map icon.png
Vanak Faithwalker: We compel the skies to open!
If too many Kryptis enter the Control Point, one of the following
Vanak Faithwalker: There's too many of them in the circle! Get 'em out of here or it won't work!
Vanak Faithwalker: The Kryptis are disrupting the ritual! Take care of them!
Regaining control of the Control point, one of the following
Vanak Faithwalker: The spell is working again—just keep them off us!
Vanak Faithwalker: That did it. Now, back to the ritual!
During the event
Vanak Faithwalker: I can feel the spell building. We've gotta keep going!
Vanak Faithwalker: We're nearly there. Just keep following my lead!
Event success
Vanak Faithwalker: Ha! Bet they didn't like that one!
Vanak Faithwalker: Well, this is far from over, but that'll buy us some valuable time. I appreciate your help.
Event failure
Vanak Faithwalker: Dammit, they're gonna overrun us before we can finish!
Vanak Faithwalker: Fall back, everyone! We'll make our stand somewhere else!

Notes[edit]

Kryptis spawn before the objectives for the event load. If they're killed too quickly, the location ring will stay red and Vanak won't start the ritual.
