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, <playername>!

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, <playername>, 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: <playername>, 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: <playername>, 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... <playername>! 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: <playername>, 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...

Spoiler alert: The hidden text contains spoilers relating to A Journey Further.

Follow the emerald trail to get a shiny pickaxe

• Aledar: ...wait, <playername>? 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, <playername>! 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, <playername>.

Dialogue:

• Aledar: Agh... Don't worry...a-about me...
