Starting Location: Stadium of the Sacred Flame
Go to the People of the Springs
Make your way south to the Toyac Spring region, where the People of the Springs live.
On the northern edge of the village, a cutscene triggers. Mualani wants to show you some of the customs of her tribe.
Head for the artificial hot springs
Run up the stairs just west of you and approach a group of three people talking on the upper level.
Change into the outfit Mualani prepared
Head south and take a right when the path forks, taking you to a lower level.
You approach two buildings that, on the map, look like diving flippers. Approach the one on your left and interact with the door.
Customs with the local hot springs is to have outsiders test the temperature of the waters in the artificial springs. This is done because the natural springs are at such a high temperature that the lower temperature spring is used to test tolerance.
Meet up with Marokau and the others
Go in the same direction you face when you regain control.
That leads you straight to the next objective, which lies in a cave just of town to the west.
Approach Hikueru and Marokau to initiate the cutscene.
The cave needs some maintenance before a party can be held here.
Go to the market street to buy the necessary goods
Head east back into town, to the same stairs you first used when you approached the big building.
Approach the shop up the short set of steps to talk to Yelafath, the owner of the Atlahua’s Net shop.
Yelafath provides all the needed supplies. You automatically return to the cave. Time lapses, and the cave is now ready for a party.
Return to the inn to rest
The inn sits on the far east end of the village. From the Teleport Waypoint nearby, head straight south.
It’s worth mentioning that you cannot open the map or teleport anywhere during the upcoming event. Triggering the next cutscene locks you in a short event. While you can leave mid-event, you will have to redo the entire event from the beginning if you do.
Walk up onto the deck outside the building to start a cutscene.
You wake up with a start to an attack from the Abyss.
Repel the Abyss incursion
Three waves of different creatures attack you as you go down the path. Take them out.
Talk to Mualani
Mualani wants to find Amina to assess the situation better.
Go with Mualani to find Amina
Head south to the tall, narrow building to find Amina. She lets you know where the source of the Abyssal attack is.
Destroy the Abyssal Pylon
Head back north to find the Abyssal Pylon. You come across the occasional enemy along the way, but you do not need to fight them to progress the story.
To destroy the Abyssal Pylon, you first need to destroy its defenses with elemental attacks. Your progress appears in a bar underneath the health bar. Once both arrows reach the outside of the bar, the shield disappears, allowing you to take out the Abyssal Pylon.
Off in the distance, you see more monsters going toward the cave you just renovated.
Go to the abandoned hot spring
Head southwest back to the cave. Much like with the last step, you do not need to fight monsters you meet on the way to the cave.
When you arrive, you learn that Atea already dispatched the Abyssal Pylon. Unfortunately, the Abyssal damage to her body is progressing at a faster pace. You then get a deep callback to the first hours of the game when the Traveler somehow purified Dvalin’s Tears.
You use the same technique on Atea, cleansing her of the Abyssal element completely.
Take part in the hot springs party
Make your way back to the cave for the party. After a touching scene between Atea and Mualani, Atea gives you a talisman to give to the Archon, should you meet her in the future.
Complete the cutscene to finish the subquest Home of the Hot Springs and Chapter 5: Act 1, Flowers Resplendent on the Sun-Scorched Sojourn Archon Quest.
Also, by completing this subquest, you gain access to the sigil vendor here. Like with other regions, you can turn in your regional sigils at the local vendor for unique items.
