==Dialogue==
;(On obtaining quest)
:Manqu: Well, now that we have some proof, we may go forth and obtain the token left by the Sage of the Stolen Flame.
:Manqu: The ruin's entrance isn't far. If I may be so bold, please proceed to the ruins near the Children of Echoes...
;(Approach the marked area)
:: Umm...
:Manqu: What's going on? Why are there monsters from the Abyss here?
;(After defeating the Rifthounds)
:Manqu: Finally, those monsters from the Abyss have all been vanquished... Ah, the time has come.
:Manqu: , place the proof that Pacal gave you on that platform...
;(Offer the talisman)
:;(A note appears on screen)
:
:Paimon: So the ruins below are the ruins of the... what was he called again? The Sage of the Stolen Flame? Still, the entrance looks like something weird's blocking it...
:Manqu: Just as I thought... the Sage's trial has already begun.
:: Err?
: Do we need to break that barrier...?
::Manqu: I'm afraid that barrier is difficult to break... With all due respect, we must use the correct method to open it.
: Didn't think I'd have to use my wall-phasing jutsu so soon...
::Paimon: As if you could even do that!
:Manqu: *ahem* According to the accounts of the ancient scrolls of our tribe...
:Manqu: The Sage of the Stolen Flame seemed to have strongly believed that humans could guide and lead Saurians, thus attaining a future far brighter than the age of the ancient giant dragons.
:Manqu: Perhaps he felt guilty, for he stole the secrets of using phlogiston from none other than dragonkind... And this gnawing guilt led to a hope that humans and Saurians could get along, living in peace as equals.
:Manqu: Perhaps that is what drove him to leave behind the token here... According to the ancient scrolls, "Humans and Saurians both have their places..."
:: Err?
:Paimon: That's about as clear as mud.
:Manqu: Sorry, forgive my ineloquence... I believe it means that to receive the token.
:Manqu: Still... To ask a Saurian to act in accordance with what a human wants is difficult indeed.
:Manqu: This too is part of the tribe's trials... The reason one must cultivate an understanding between human and Saurian.
:Paimon: Hehe, though Paimon doesn't totally get what you're saying, when it comes to an invisible bond, we're la creme de la creme!
:Paimon: Isn't that right, ?
:: Rawr!
: Rawr!
:: ?
:Manqu: Haha, that's the spirit. Now, please try opening the barrier blocking the entrance.
:;(The tutorial "Humans and Saurians, one heart and one mind!" displays)
;(After the cutscene)
:Manqu: If both human and Saurian stand in the corresponding positions, we'll be able to open the barrier to the ruins.
;(Walk into the green circle for the first time, optional)
:Paimon: Hmm... This seems like the spot where should stand.
;(Walk into the orange circle for the first time)
:Paimon: Yeah, right there!
;(Switch to 's perspective)
:Paimon: , you have to stand in the to the right of the platform!
:: (Hmm... White Floaty, green, circle?)
;(Move into the orange circle for the first time, optional)
:Paimon: , not over there, the other side!
:: (White Floaty, make noises, so hard to understand...)
;(Move into the green circle)
:Paimon: Yeah, right there! Hehe, you're so clever, !
;(After the seal opens)
:Manqu: It worked. So the ancient scrolls were right...
:Manqu: Well then, I wish you luck obtaining the token from the ruins. I'll be here, waiting for your triumphant return.
;(Talk to Manqu, optional)
:Manqu: Forgive my presumption, but I am confident that you will emerge victorious from the final trial — safe and sound, and having obtained the token.
;(Follow the corridor)
:Paimon: Ehh, looks like no one's been here for a long, long time...
:: Rawr!
:Paimon: , you gotta keep up!
;(Descend into the hole)
:: Rawr... Rawr...
:Paimon: Hey, what's wrong? Too high up for ya? It's alright! just cling to or hold Paimon's hand, and you'll be fine!
;(Approach the lever)
:
:
:Paimon: Wow... Looks like the real entrance to the ruins is over there! And just like the entrance to the first tunnel, there's a strange barrier.
:: Rawr... Rawr!
:Paimon: Yes, just like at the entrance. must stand on the left, while stands to the right...
:Paimon: Though, it's pretty high up this time...
: And the route is different too...
:: Rooo...
:Paimon: Don't worry, ! We'll only be separated for a little bit, but we'll still be in sight!
:Paimon: If you're scared, just raise your claws towards us and roar as loud as you can!
:Paimon: We'll wave back, so don't be scared, okay?
:: Rawr...
:: Raah, raah... Rawr!
: Rawr!
:Paimon: Don't talk like ! What if you actually manage to "rawr" something in its language, and misunderstands?
:: Rawr, rawr!
:Paimon: Well, don't you look happy all of a sudden.
:Paimon: Paimon just doesn't get you. When are you happy, and when are you scared?
:: Roo?
:Paimon: You sure seem to be in good spirits! Alright then, let's try opening up that gate.
: , try going over there.
:Paimon: And once it's open, we'll meet in front of the door!
:: Rawr!
;(Approach the lever)
:Paimon: Ooh, looks like can also use this mechanism.
;(Approach the buried Elemental Monument as )
:Paimon: Oh, looks like there's a mechanism buried here...
:;(Hint)
::Use the power of the Tepetlisaurus to dig up buried objects...
;(After solving the puzzle)
:Paimon: The barrier's open! Hehe, Paimon knew this type of mechanism would be a piece of cake for you guys!
:: Rawr!
:Paimon: Hey, you did it, ! Great job!
:Paimon: Paimon's not sure why, but it feels like is getting more and more reliable! That gives Paimon a kind of happy feeling, too.
: ...Feels way more reliable than Paimon!
:: Rawr!
:Paimon: Hey, no way! And don't you dare agree with ! Meanies, Paimon praises you two just a bit and this is what she gets...
:: ...Rraa?
:: ...Ooroo, Rooah? Wrroh?
:Paimon: Uh... You mean Paimon? Paimon's not angry, and she's not crying!
:: ...Ooroo, rawr? Rawr?
:Paimon: Okay, fine, fine! Paimon'll "rawr"! Rawr!
:: Rawr!
: I feel like I can understand him...
: Maybe we've finally got a connection?
:Paimon: That's what happens when you spend a lot of time together! Sometimes, Paimon can tell what you're going to cook the moment you reach into your bag to fish out the ingredients...
:Paimon: "Hmm, yeah, mmm, hrmm, okay, it's probably... Teyvat Fried Egg!" And Lo! Paimon was right.
: Paimon, you're terrifying!
:Paimon: Hmph! Paimon's got a lot more aspects that are really scary, you just haven't seen them before! ...Whew, Paimon's getting hungry just talking about it.
:Paimon: We should hurry up and find the token... Once we find it, we can have a huge feast to celebrate!
: Okay, let's move out!
:: Rawr!
;(Approach the Iridescent Inscription)
:: Hmm?
:Paimon: What's up? How come you're staring that way? Is there something strange over there?
;(Walk up to the Iridescent Inscription)
:
:
:
;(Approach the room past the teleport waypoint)
:: Wraah... Waah!
:Paimon: That's the first time Paimon's heard make that sound.
:Paimon: Still, he's got a point, this is a huge mural! Hmm, let Paimon look... Two people, each holding something round in their hands...
:Paimon: Wait, what's with one of them having a weird head?
:: Rraa?
: Is it a... dragon?
:Paimon: Huh, now that you mention it, it does kinda look like a dragon's head...
:Paimon: Oh! Paimon gets it. It actually depicts a dragon and a person, each holding a golden ring.
:Paimon: Hmm... Paimon feels like she just heard a story about two people taking something or other not long ago...
: It was the tale Pacal and Manqu were discussing...
: About the first Pyro Archon and the Sage of the Stolen Flame...
:: Rawr...
:Paimon: Like Paimon said, it did remind her of something she'd just heard...
:Paimon: *sigh* But if that was really the case... doesn't that mean that of the Sage of the Stolen Flame and the first Pyro Archon... that one of them was a dragon? But which one of them?
: First, we can rule out the Pyro Archon...
:Paimon: Oh, so that means... that the Sage of the Stolen Flame is actually a dragon? Right?
:Paimon: Paimon recalls that you saw the same golden design on that floating island...
:Paimon: So that Sage was also behind us falling into that place when we first came to Natlan, and is also linked to dragons...?
: "Chosen of Dragons"...
:Paimon: Hmm... So that means that the message back then didn't mean "chosen by the great Tepetlisaurus there"... but by this Sage?
: Or perhaps chosen by .
:: Rawr!
:Paimon: That's possible too... Hmm... Strange...
:
:
:: Hrrr?
:Paimon: What's the matter?
: (The golden design says...)
:Paimon: Do we have to go through from both sides? Hmm, but it looks like both entrances each have their own barriers and mechanisms... Could it be that humans go one way, and dragons the other?
:: Wrroh...
:Paimon: P—Paimon can't even see this time... , do you think it's too hard? If it is, we can still back out.
:Paimon: If it's really too much, we can wait until you're ready and try again. Not like these ruins are going anywhere.
: No need to push yourself too hard.
: If you want to stop, just say so.
:: Mraaa... Wrroh... Wraa...
:: Rawr! Rawr!
:Paimon: ... You're a brave fella, aren't ya?
:Paimon: Still, get out as fast as you can if things get dangerous! Nothing is more important than your life, not even treasure.
:: Rawr!
: I believe in you!
: Believe in yourself!
:: Err?
:Paimon: Hey, don't say things he can't understand!
:: Rawr!
;(After unlocking the barriers)
:;(The Traveler and Paimon enter one gate, and enters the other)
:;(The iron gates shut behind them)
:: (Rawr, iron barrier, blocked, bad!)
:: (No cry, must search, other way!)
;(While exploring and solving the puzzle as )
:: (Green, green... there!)
:: (Soaking wet, drip-drop, no good, agh...)
;(Expose the Tremulous Crystals)
:;(Hint)
::Strike the Tremulous Crystal to trigger resonance
:: (Quake, big rock, sleep. , strong!)
:: (Rawr, green, green!)
;(Reach the platform with the Pyroculus, if the has not completed their puzzle while solving puzzle as )
:: (Rawr, green, high, no way...)
:;(Hint)
::There seems to be no way forward for now. Try to complete the trial
;(Switch to )
:;(Hint)
::Coming into contact with the beams will cause the Liquid Phlogiston level to rise temporarily
;(While solving the puzzle as )
:Paimon: , watch out! It seems like the lava level rises as soon as you touch these mechanisms. Paimon almost became toast there...
;(Cutscene showing 's side)
:: (Square rock, wake up... Raise up!)
;(If the player tries to light up the elemental monuments with Pyro instead of raising the lava, optional)
:Paimon: Ugh, this is so annoying! Why aren't these monuments lighting up? If only there was a way to light them all up at once...
:;(Hint)
::Increase the Liquid Phlogiston level to light up all the Elemental Monuments
;(If the player takes too long to raise the lava, optional)
:Paimon: If only there was a way to light them all up at the same time... Wait, the lava below would be perfect!
;(If the player switches to after the previous dialogue, optional)
:Paimon: Hmm, how can we make the lava rise up? Paimon feels like we triggered some mechanism earlier...
;(Approach the green circle as )
:: (Rawr, green, green!)
;(If the player moves to their circle first)
:Paimon: It feels like it's finally coming to an end... *sigh* Wonder how 's doing right now...
;(If the player moves to its circle first)
:Paimon: Looks like we can't go any further, ... Wonder if there's anything we can do over where is?
----
;(After solving the puzzle)
:Paimon: Hey, there's another mural here! Now, what's it show...
:Paimon: A huge black dragon, a tree, and some strange person?
;(The screen splits to show both perspectives at once)
:: Wrroh... Rawr!
:: Rraa?
:
:
:Paimon: What's wrong, ? Why are you just staring at the mural?
: (Reach out towards the mural...)
:
:
:
:
:: Rrooo...
:: Roooah... Ooroo...
:Paimon: , are you okay? You weren't moving a muscle...
: What I saw might be kinda hard to explain...
:Paimon: Really? Paimon didn't see anything at all! And we're both looking at the same picture... Are you just way more perceptive than Paimon?
:: Roar!
:Paimon: Ah! That's 's voice! Sounds like it's coming from over there... Oh, Paimon sure hopes nothing bad happened...
:Paimon: Hurry up, we need to go look!
;(Approach the orange circle near )
:Paimon: Don't worry, we're right here! Looks like we'll be able to meet up again soon!
:: Rawr...
;(Complete the puzzle)
:;(The Traveler and meet and a giant beam shoots through the Liquid Phlogiston, creating a path)
:Paimon: A path through the lava has appeared... Looks like the trial is almost over.
:Paimon: That guy from the Saurian Relics Association and the chubby chap from the Children of Echoes kept talking up how dangerous it was, but it looks like there really was nothing to it!
: In that case, lead the way, Paimon!
:Paimon: Whoa! You can't even see the bottom... But we're good friends, so of course we'll go together!
:: Rrooo...
:Paimon: , look! Hehe, we're nearly done!
:: Wrroh...
: Did you see some strange things, too?
:: Rawr...
: Don't be afraid...
:: Paimon and I are here.
:Paimon: Yeah... Though Paimon isn't sure what happened, 's right. No matter what, you've got us!
:: Roooah... Rawr!
:: Rawr!
:Paimon: Ooh, looks like he's finally perking up! Okay, looks like we can continue downward... This place does feel kinda dangerous...
:
:
:: Ehrrr?
: Seems there's danger below after all.
:Paimon: Did the golden designs tell you that too?
:: Rawr!
:Paimon: Okay, then let's rest a bit, ! We'll keep going once you're ready.
;(A note appears on screen)
:
;(Continue walking toward the lava)
:Paimon: Alright, let's go. Into the lava this time... Just hope it doesn't all come pouring down when we're halfway through...
:: *whine*
:Paimon: Alright, alright, Paimon was only kidding! And besides, even if it really does, Paimon'll swoop down and scoop the two of you out!
;(Enter the light at the end of the staircase)
:Paimon: Wow, Paimon never imagined there'd be something like this under the lava. So we're really deep underground now, aren't we?
:Paimon: So that Sage with the totally impossible name... Hid the token here?
: No...
:
:
:
:: Rawr!
:Paimon: Whoa, what's going on? That sudden chill...
:Paimon: S—Something's coming out!
;(While fighting the Rifthounds)
:Paimon: Ugh, why are there so many Rifthounds here? Seriously! Huh, there are some strange ones too...
:: Rawr! ...Rawr!
:Paimon: Helping's nice and all, but make sure you take care of yourself too!
;(After defeating the two waves of Rifthounds)
:Paimon: Well, that should do it!
:: Rawr!
;(Abyss-Corroded Golden Wolflord appears)
:Paimon: Wah, something's wrong! B—Big guy incoming!
:Paimon: Wh—Whoa, that's one massive Golden Wolflord... Careful!
;(A tutorial displays if it hasn't been seen elsewhere already)
;(The Golden Wolflord deploys Void Barrier after reaching 70% HP)
:Paimon: Wait, something about it looks super weird...
:Paimon: It... doesn't seem like it can be hit?
;(The Golden Wolflord absorbs the skulls and uses Tornado)
:Paimon: Yikes, it's... absorbed all those floating things around it...
:: Rawr... Rrrawr!
:Paimon: , your... Eh? Your body...
;(After defeating the Golden Wolflord)
:: Rawr...
:Paimon: Whoa, it looks like just got stronger! Did something awaken, maybe? Like the power of the Flamelord or something...?
: Definitely looks stronger.
:: Raooo...
: Are you alright?
:: Rawr!
:Paimon: He was totally rocking during that fight, and was a really big help...
: Yes, most impressive.
:: Rawr... Rrrooo...
:: Errr?
:Paimon: Hmm, it looks like that's not a power can just use whenever.
:Paimon: Though, Manqu did say that it's better not to use power like that too much anyway.
:: Rawr...
:Paimon: *sigh* ...So where did that weirdo with the hard-to-remember name hide the token? All Paimon wants to do right now is grab and get the heck outta here.
;(Touch the inscription)
:
:
:Paimon: This... this is where the token's really kept. It's so quiet here...
:: Rawr...
:Paimon: Paimon figured that Sage guy would be waiting for us here, but guess not...
;(While approaching each of the inscriptions)
:
:
:
:
:
:
;(Approach the stone tablet)
:Paimon: Whoa, it looks like this stone tablet lit up!
:: Rawr!

:
:Paimon: Ah! You finally responded! When you touched that stone tablet, you just froze up and wouldn't react to anything...
;(If Lost Traveler in the Ashen Realm was not completed)
::Paimon: But look over there! A round plate with golden etchings on it appeared on the ground! That should be the token we're looking for.
;(If Lost Traveler in the Ashen Realm was completed)
::Paimon: But look! The token we're looking for is on the ground, just like the one we found before.
:: Rawr!
: A golden seal... Engraved on a white disc...
:Paimon: Eh? What're you saying?
: It's nothing...
: I'm just a bit distracted...
:Paimon: Well, you probably are tired! After all, we sure did a lot today. Let's rest up after we get back!
;(If Lost Traveler in the Ashen Realm was not completed)
::Paimon: This token looks kinda like a big, round plate... Hmm, so in the mural, both the human and the dragon each had discs like this...
::Paimon: Anyway, we got a token! Let's take it back and show it to Manqu!
;(If Lost Traveler in the Ashen Realm was completed)
::Paimon: Okay, that's both tokens... Now should have the right to get cured at the volcano, right?
::Paimon: Okay! Let's bring the tokens and go find Manqu!
