Starting Location: Scions of the Canopy
Since you start directly south from a Statue of the Seven, activate it while you’re here.
Then follow the wood path east into the mountain, occasionally climbing up wooden ladders.
Be sure to unlock the Teleport Waypoint just outside of the Scions of the Canopy as you enter.
Head north into the camp.
Talk to the Chief of the tribe, Wayna.
Head to the upper level and approach Wayna.
After a bit of resistance, Wayna provides you with the Spiritseeker Stone. He then tells you to seek help in using the Spiritseeker Stone from Vichama.
Look for Vichama
Go straight off the ledge to the next level down.
Go down one more and continue to the edge of the camp. There, you find Vichama kneeling.
Vichama agrees to help you find Kachina’s Ancient Name from the Abyss. In exchange, he asks you to help him find his friend’s Ancient Name.
Make preparations to seek the Ancient Name (2)
Preparation #1: Head up the ramp in front of you.
There, a ramp goes up to the next level and two adjacent ramps go down. Go down the left ramp.
Look over the edge to see the first vendor, Amauta. She sells you the hook-ropes you need for the venture.
Preparation #2: Head straight ahead a little bit to the next vendor, Pajatan. He sells you the Obsidian you need.
Pajatan also gives you a little background into Mallka’s past and the friend he lost.
Meet with Vichama
Use the Statue of the Seven you unlocked at the beginning of the quest. Then, head south to the wind current along the mountain.
Ride all the way to the top. Then make your way to the part of the cliff that jets out to the southeast.
Glide across the gap to the opposite mountain then climb to the top. Vichama stands in front of you. Approach him.
Vichama uses the Spiritseeker Stone to begin the ritual.
Collect the Ancient Name fragments
As Vichama channels the Abyss, small white orbs jump out around him. They disappear after a bit, so move quickly.
These fragments fill up the S-shaped glyph at the top of the screen.
Defeat the attacking monsters
When the S-shaped glyph fills halfway, Abyss monsters attack you. Defeat them to continue the ritual.
Continue collecting the Ancient Name fragments
Once you fill the S-shaped glyph, the ritual ends and a cutscene plays. Vichama manages to find Kachina’s Ancient Name.
Vichama continues to channel the Abyss, looking for his friend’s name. The Abyss soon invades his body. You try to help cleanse him as he channels the Abyss.
Mash Cross to build up the gauge at the top of the screen.
The channeling grows out of control. So, Chasca destroys the Spiritseeker Stone.
Vichama doesn’t find his friend’s Ancient Name, but he does find a final memory.
You then take the broken Spiritseeker Stone back to Wayna.
Complete the cutscene to finish the subquest To Reclaim an Ancient Name.
