==Quest log==
;Entry 1
:If Lightning wants to join the bandit gang, she must quell God's Wrath, a sandstorm that rages near Ruffian. The key to breaking it is held by a monster that can be found nearby. No ordinary human has ever been able to make the key work, but then, the savior is no ordinary human.God's Wrath rages in the area around the Giant's Sandbox.
;Entry 2
:Lightning does something that no human has ever done: she activates the crux and ends the storm. Adonis is impressed--but not exactly surprised. Apparently, his boss had already determined that Lightning possesses special powers.In any case, Lightning is now part of the gang. She should follow Adonis back to the settlement and meet her new boss.
;Entry 3
:Lightning has become an official member of the Monoculus gang. When she is taken to meet the bandits' leader, she finds herself face-to-face with Fang, an old comrade from centuries past.
:Fang has also been searching for the clavis—she wants to find it before the Order does. But she doesn't explain why, nor does she offer a reason for leaving Vanille alone with the Order, back in Luxerion...
==Walkthrough==
After accepting the trial, Lightning must complete the quest "Adonis's Audition" to quell a sandstorm. After defeating a Gurangatch and using a crux on a stone monument, the sandstorm is dealt with. Adonis welcomes Lightning into Monoculus and rushes back to Ruffian. Talking to him again has him introduce Lightning to Fang, who joins Lightning's party as a guest.
