Walkthrough

The event starts just northeast of  Kropa Village — with 3 ritualists then heading to  Temple of the Dredge — .

From there, defend the ritualists as they repair 5 pillars, with 2-3 waves of 2-3 foes appearing each time. The repairs continue even if the enemies aren't defeated so it's only important to defend the NPCs and keep them alive.

Dialogue

Prior to event start

Ritualist Adept 1: The Wardens came back.

Ritualist Elder: So much destruction. The forest is angry.

Ritualist Adept 1: What are we going to do?

Ritualist Elder: We need to rebuild the shrines. The forest will stay worked up until we do.

Ritualist Adept 2: The mending ceremony? But it'll attract the Wardens.

Ritualist Adept 1: How are we going to do it without Ji-Yoon?

Ritualist Elder: Ji-Yoon left us. Off to join those fool Speakers. We'll have to do it without him.

Ritualist Adept 1: Can we?

Ritualist Elder: We must try.

Halfway through first shrine

Ritualist Adept 2: They did so much damage... How are we ever going to fix this?

Ritualist Adept 1: We're nearly halfway. We'll get there.

Completing the first shrine

Ritualist Elder: All right, this one is in good shape. We can move on.

Halfway through the second shrine

Ritualist Adept 2: We're about halfway done with this one!

Completing the second shrine

Ritualist Elder: Just as before. Let's move on to the next.

Halfway through the third shrine

Ritualist Adept 1: They really smashed this one up.

Completing the third shrine

Ritualist Elder: I can feel the forest mellowing. This is working!

Starting on the fourth shrine

Ritualist Adept 2: Mother, the Wardens are coming!

Ritualist Elder: Do not let them stop you. Maintain the ritual, no matter what happens.

Halfway through the fourth shrine

Ritualist Adept 1: I think my hand is going numb.

Ritualist Adept 2: Mine, too.

Completing the fourth shrine

Ritualist Adept 1: Just one more?

Ritualist Elder: Yes—as long as nothing topples the others before we're done!

Halfway through the fifth shrine

Ritualist Adept 1: Almost there!

After the event, in the center of the temple

Ritualist Elder: Can you feel it?

Ritualist Adept 2: I can. The air is quiet, still...calm.

Ritualist Adept 1: Why was it so mad?

Ritualist Elder: Echovald has seen the worst of us. The Jade Wind, the slaughter of the Kurzicks...

Ritualist Elder: And now the city folk use it as a dump while the Jade Brotherhood plunder it.

Ritualist Elder: Even the Speakers, who claim to speak for it, ignore the damage they do in their quest to assume control.

Ritualist Adept 2: Yeah, I can see why it's upset.

Ritualist Elder: Which is why it's up to us to be its custodians. We must listen, honor, and protect.

Notes

• This event alternates with and will not start if the Gather fungal residue to stabilize Verasha, the Speaker defector event chain is available. There appears to be a ten minute cooldown between the end of that event chain and this event starting.

Bugs:

This event is frequently bugged:

• The Ritualist Elder may be stuck by Kropa Village.
• The Ritualist Adepts may be at the Temple of the Dredge, hammering away, even though the event is not active. Resurrecting them when they are defeated will not unstick the event, nor will they seemingly progress while in this state.
