Steps

Journal

  • The requisite items have been gathered and given to Soroban, and so he invites you to join him at the western edge of Tamamizu. There, where the water twists and turns on the surface of the dome, he will perform the ritual to let you traverse the depths as easily as any Kojin, that you might begin your search for the Yasakani-no-Magatama.
  • The deep, booming voice of Soroban resounds in your ears as he intones a sacred prayer to the kami of the deep. With a flash of light, it is done, and you are told you can breathe underwater as you would on land. Alisaie's skepticism turns to amazement once she passes through the portal and finds herself in open water, completely at ease. Yet that is not all, for Soroban then summons for you noble steeds of great strength. And so, with the aid of the striped rays, you embark on your journey to Sui-no-Sato.
  • It is not long before you arrive at your destination -- the underwater village of the Raen. But will these reclusive people be willing to aid your cause?

Dialogue

Accepting the quest:

Soroban: Are you ready, my friends, to explore a world unlike any you have ever known?
Soroban: Then let us go to western part of the village, where the water twists and turns, and there complete our preparations for the ritual.


Speaking with Alisaie:

Soroban: Are you ready, my friends, to explore a world unlike any you have ever known?
Soroban: Then let us go to western part of the village, where the water twists and turns, and there complete our preparations for the ritual.
Alisaie: He dove into the water a moment ago and said to wait here until he returned...
Soroban: It is done. Your offerings have been given to the sea.
Soroban: The ritual can begin at last. Come and stand before me, my friends.
Soroban: Yes, yes. Listen to my words, and let all else wash away. Listen to my words, and feel them flow into your heart...at first a trickle, then a flood...
Soroban: O kami of the fathomless waters, Of the fallen, the ascended, the flowing, and the becalmed, Caretakers of the shallows and of the depths...
Soroban: Receive of us our meager offerings, Cleanse these ones of earth and stone, and grant them your blessing, That they might drink deep of the divine...
Soroban: The ritual is complete, my friends. You may now breathe in the depths as you would upon land.
Alisaie: Strange. I don't feel any different. Are you sure it worked?
Soroban: ...Reasonably. The blessing does have its limits, of course. While it will allow you to dwell in the depths, it will not help you traverse them.
Lyse: I can swim well enough. How about you, Alisaie?
Alisaie: Oh, like a fish. In contrast to my doggy-paddling brother.
Alisaie: Somehow, the boy just isn't very buoyant.
Soroban: Hmm...skilled or no, your bodies are ill-suited to the sea. Your cause demands alacrity, and you shall have it.
Soroban: But first, let us take to the water.
Alisaie: Incredible... I could swear I was breathing air!
Soroban: Now, I shall summon for you noble steeds of great strength.
Lyse: Wow, look at them! I bet they could take us all the way to the deepest depths of the sea!
Alisaie: And so they may─after we've won over the Confederacy, rescued Gosetsu, and liberated your respective homelands.
Soroban: Should you become parted from your steeds, return to me, and I shall call them again. Take care, my friends, and may the kami speed you on your way.
Lyse: We'll find that treasure in no time! Come on! Owing to Soroban's blessing, you may now dive into deep water and stay submerged indefinitely.
Underwater settlements like Tamamizu and Sui-no-Sato can be accessed via circular portals.
To leave deep water, you need only swim towards the surface. Conversely, to dive into deep water while swimming on the surface, press [Ctrl+Spacebar].
Should you become separated from your steed, speak with Soroban in Tamamizu to mount a striped ray.


Speaking with Lyse:

Lyse: This must be Sui-no-Sato, the Raen village Soroban told us about.
Lyse: Right, then! Let's see if they can't help us find the Kojin's missing jewel!
You may now perform underwater emotes!
