Starting Location: Scions of the Canopy
Bring Kachina’s Ancient Name to Mavuika
Use the Teleport Waypoint on the south end of the Stadium of the Sacred Flame.
Then, turn around and enter the Speaker’s Chamber.
Mavuika updates the Traveler on her losing her powers. She then takes you to a room with all of her mementos from other tribes.
Examine the mementos within the room
There are five mementos in the room, starting clockwise from left to right: Fishing Equipment, Talisman, Weapon, Jar, and Belt.
Interact with as many of these mementos as you like. With that said, you only need to interact with one before you can talk to Mavuika again.
Talk to Mavuika
While her preparations settle, she then gives you a little history on Natlan, Pyro Archons, and her family.
Place Kachina’s Ancient Name
Step forward and interact with the blue fire to place the Ancient Name.
A spectral version of Kachina appears in the flame. She tells you about the Night Kingdom and how the Abyss is able to affect the world so intensely right now.
Enter the underground ruins
Use the Teleport Waypoint to the east of the Stadium of the Sacred Flame.
Look down to the southwest and glide down into the small gap in the mountain face.
Interact with the glowing spot to enter the Remnants of the Secret Source.
Search the ruins
Head straight into the ruins until a cutscene plays.
Continue deeper within
Continue going forward into the next area. A Door of Resurrection activates here, though you cannot see it.
When you reach the broken wood bridge, interact with the Yumkasaur Spiritsconce (rune) to shift into a Yumkasaur.
When you get closer to the floating rune, a prompt appears above it. Use R2 to then grab the run and pull yourself to it.
Look left to the cliff to see a chest. You do not need a rune to use R2. This R2 pull can be used twice while mid-air but no more than that. Keep that in mind while exploring.
Use R2 to jump the gap and open the chest.
Look up to see the next rune. Pull yourself up.
Then look across the new gap to see a second rune. Pull yourself across. A Door of Resurrection activates here, though you cannot see it.
Keep going down the linear path until you reach the edge. you automatically see spirit monsters below you.
Head down there and defeat them.
Head into the next area, grabbing the chest that appeared after the fight.
Interact with the Koholasaur rune to transform. Then, approach the swirling air to prompt a Spiritway.
Ride the Spiritway into a new area with some hilichurls.
From the entrance you came in, look to the left to see a short pillar. Interact with it to open a door into the next area.
Walking through the door activates another Door of Resurrection.
Activate the Teletisaur rune to transform, then interact with the Molten Fissure.
It takes you up and around to the opposite ledge. Another door automatically opens.
In the next room is another round of hilichurls. Take them out.
Open the chest that appears and then interact with the short pillar near it to open the next door. This activates another invisible Door of Resurrection.
Inside the door, use the Tepetlisaur rune and attack the rubble blocking the path.
Look up and right to see a path go up on some crystals. Head up the path with R2.
At the top of the path, ride up the crystal to its peak.
You soon go into an Abyssal Rift to reach the Night Kingdom.
Soon after your arrival, you meet the spirit of Mallko, Vichama’s friend from the previous subquest.
Follow “Mallko”
Keep close to Mallko as he goes along this river-like path. Abyssal spirits start to attack, so Mallko keeps a shield around him for protection. Definitely stay within the shield. The spirits hit quite hard.
Eventually, he veers right off the path and into a nook. This activates and invisible Door of Resurrection.
Take out the round of spirit monsters that approach you in the nook.
Mallko leads you back out to the path. A Door of Resurrection activates here followed closely by a short cutscene.
Keep following “Mallko”
Mallko leads you through a maze, so keep close to him.
As you navigate the maze, you come across Kachina, who is surrounded by rifthounds.
Defeat the roused monsters
With Kachina’s help, dispatch the rifthounds.
Talk to Kachina
After a brief reunion, Kachina asks for help with the Wayob and what’s wrong with the resurrection ritual.
Mallko stays behind to ward off the Abyss monsters as much as he can.
Check on the Wayob
Run up the path until you see a floating crystal, the Wayob, in the distance. A Door of Resurrection activates here.
Head down and approach the Wayob.
You get attacked by Comonqui.
Defeat the Abyss Herald
You only have control over Mualani and Kachina for this fight. Thankfully, Comonqui uses the Pyro Element. So, Mualani makes quick work of it.
Like any Abyss Herald, Comonqui loses health until 1/4th remains. Then, it gains an elemental shield. Once you chip that shield down, Comonqui dies.
Talk to your companions
Mualani’s Ancient Name randomly appears in front of her, and it cleanses the Wayob of the Abyss energy.
From the Wayob appears Tupac, the historical giant from the People of the Spring’s tribe. Tupac then bestows his power and knowledge on Mualani.
Escape the Night Kingdom
The power of the Night Kingdom chases you now. Run up and along the path toward the light. As you go, rocks pop up, blocking parts of your path.
After a dramatic cutscene, you get saved from perdition by a re-energized Pyro Archon.
Complete the cutscene to finish the subquest Echoes of Life.
