Stage 2
» Continue your journey with Aledar.

Dialogue:
 * Aledar: We should try to follow the path as closely as we can. You lead, I'll follow.

Stage 3
» Follow the Path.

Dialogue:
 * Aledar: Stop! Did you hear that?
 * Aledar: It’s an ambush! Stay sharp,  !

Stage 4
» Defeat the Parasitic Slimers.

Dialogue:
 * Aledar: Good work. Seems that killing the king made the other creatures run off. We’re lucky about that-
 * Aledar: Wait,  , what's going on? Are you alright?
 * Aledar: Oh, no no! I have a potion for this, where is it, where is it, aha! Here, drink!
 * Aledar: One of those things must have infected your wounds... Everything in this area looks completely hazardous and sickening.
 * Aledar: I expected the worst, so I tried to bring anything and everything that might help. Let's keep moving.

Stage 5
» Continue on the main path with Aledar.

Dialogue:
 * Aledar: LOOK OUT!
 * Aledar:  , a-agh...you're okay, right?
 * Aledar: I'm... I'm going to lead us for now. At least for a little...while... I can't have you g-getting-
 * Aledar: GAH!! AAAGH!
 * Aledar: ...urgh... I...sorry. I just... I need a moment.
 * Aledar:  , you just... you have to realize, I can't have you getting hurt.
 * Aledar: I want to stress this... We NEED to get to the end of this path, together.
 * Aledar: Hrk... Ugh, dizzy...
 * Aledar: Okay. I'm as good as I can get right now. Let's move.
 * Aledar: Ah? What... What just... Why do I...
 * Aledar: I'll be fine, I just...why did I feel so empty all of the sudden... ?
 * Aledar: Oh no, I think something is coming...  ! Fight it off, I don't think I can defend myself right now!

Stage 6
» Defend Aledar from the Radiated Spiders.

Dialogue:
 * Aledar: Huff... Not feeling totally better, but... At least I can still defend myself.
 * Aledar: My stomach is empty, I can't even vomit... Why so I still feel so dizzy? Maybe a potion will help...
 * Aledar: Hm. No, not that one...
 * Aledar: Urgh, pfft! My vomit tasted better than that coming up...
 * Aledar: Hah...that's the ticket. Which potion was this anyways... ... hair loss treatment? Why did THAT work?
 * Aledar: Though, you saw what happened to that beast I attacked? Follow me.
 * Aledar: This, from what I recall of the mission statements, is referred to as a "Void Hole." It's a sort of portal.
 * Aledar: They connect to each other in odd ways, but we saw the beast come out of that one when I knocked it in, so...
 * Aledar: Watch. I'll come out the other side.
 * Aledar: Alright, good! It does connect up consistently, at least. You try now.

Stage 7
» Jump into the void hole.

Stage 8
» Continue on the trail with Aledar.

Dialogue:
 * Aledar: I bring this up because if we're seeing one, we'll be seeing more soon. You'll need to adjust yourself to the sight of them.
 * Aledar: You lead again, please.


 * Aledar: We grossly underestimated the difficulties we would have here. And, by that, I mean myself, Elphie, and Lucio did...
 * Aledar: We were each unprepared and cocky. If it weren't for you, I'd be dead now, for what it's worth.
 * Aledar: I wasn't certain at first about you coming along, but you've more than shown you were the right one for the job.


 * Aledar: ...I had to figure this map was outdated. This wall of spikes isn't listed on it, and the path goes through here!
 * Aledar: I'll have to assume they're new...and if they're new, I might be able to bash through them.
 * Aledar:  , try throwing a spell at the same time! Let's crack through these things!
 * Aledar: Ok, 3... 2... 1...!
 * Aledar: ...aagh... I... H-how are these so resilient...?
 * Aledar: I'm an idiot... I nearly killed myself trying that. I nearly ruined the mission...
 * Aledar: I'm sorry, but you'll have to go without me. I can't move another step for now.
 * Aledar: There's a lot of void holes around here, remember my warning... You can probably get past these spikes with one.
 * Aledar: If I'd been thinking I would have suggested it earlier... Once you're past, we'll... uh. We'll do something.
 * Aledar: Just...be careful where you go. The void holes could lead anywhere. They might lead you someplace very, very dangerous, too dangerous even for you. I pray they won't...
 * Aledar: There's a void hole right there to try out first. Get going, now. You have to do this.

Stage 9
» Use Void Holes to try and get behind the spike barrier


 * An explosion has occurred somewhere in the arena...


 * It appears the boulder that was once blocking the way is gone...


 * It appears that green substance on the walls has bouncing properties.


 * Looks like you're past the spikes. You can see the tower that was visible past them from here. Hopefully there is a way to break the spikes from this side nearby...

Stage 10
» Find a way to help Aledar get to the other side of the spike barrier.


 * Aledar: ...wait,  ? You got to the other side then...? Good...
 * Aledar: I don't know what you did, but whatever it was, it's made cracks in the spikes that I can see from this side.
 * Aledar: I've got some of my energy back...let's try spellcasting again. If we do it at the same time, we might make some headway.
 * Aledar: I won't crack my skull open on the spikes again though. Promise.
 * Aledar: You lead. I'll cast my spell as soon as I hear yours.
 * Aledar: Thank god it worked... That's our destination there, the Eldritch Outlook.
 * Aledar: Now comes the hardest part... Come along. I'll need you there for it.
 * Aledar: That blade there...it's made for sacrifice. See how that gate is shut?
 * Aledar: In order to open the doors to the Outlook, we need to sacrifice a powerful soul.
 * Aledar: If you haven't gotten it already, the plan was to sacrifice our fourth. It's why I was hesitant about having you come along, though it was perfect.
 * Aledar: Think about it. A soldier with no relations, no loved ones, and no way to deny their fate. But...
 * Aledar: I've been mulling it over since we got to the town... You'll sacrifice me instead. I won't take no for an answer.
 * Aledar: I mean... look at the state I'm in,  ! I'm on death's door already, and you've proven yourself far stronger than I am even at my best.
 * Aledar: Here. You can take everything I had on me. My emeralds, and the key to the dungeon. I certainly won't be able to use them anymore.
 * +20480 Emeralds
 * +1 Eldritch Outlook Key
 * Aledar: Upon the top of the tower is... Well, something. We don't know for certain what it is, but it will prevent you from passing through.
 * Aledar: You'll have to kill it to break the barrier. But... find other soldiers who can help you. It will be impossible to defeat alone.
 * Aledar: ...no more putting it off, then. I'm bleeding out.
 * Aledar: Grab the blade,  .
