Answering the Call Quest Start
The quest starts with Einar waiting for you at your house. He will ask that there be an enormous energy beam that shoots into the atmosphere. He asks you to meet Subira in the night sky temple.
Subira needs your help in exploring Elderwood. The door beside the temple is now unlocked.
Continue the path until you reach Subira. Talk to her
Subira is shocked by the violet energy emitting from the orb. Discuss it with her on what to do.
7 notes contain a password you will need later. Break the cracked wall behind Subira to the left, there is a gap wherein the first note is located.
The second note can be found on the other side of Subira. Break the wall, and there lies the 2nd note. Read it and let`s head over to the next one.
Go back to the location of the first note. Continue the path, and you will find a ladder. Do not use the ladder yet, and look to your left, there is a cracked wall. Break it and you will find the third note inside.
Now, use the ladder and jump this ledge to have access to the 4th note.
Continue this path until you find a cracked floor. Use your pickaxe to smash it, and below there is another set of rooms.
Break the wall on the left side, and there is the 5th note waiting for you.
The mechanics are pretty straightforward. Break all the cracked walls, and you will find this treasure chest.
The rooms also contain the 6th note; make sure to destroy each one of them.
The last room in this hallway of cracked wall contains the last and final note.
Now that we have the 7 notes. You will find a room with a cracked floor. Smash it to enter the lower level.
Travers the path and follow it until you will reach this cracked wall. Smash it and you will find Subira waiting for you beside the violet energy orb. Talk to her.

The code is Qs7?v%J remember to input it on the correct order for it to work.
Now the console has detected you as Aurus, The programmer. Now this is the tedious part. Choose all the options and every choices. Then Tap exit. Let`s head to the next part and ask Subira.
Subira stated that nothing works perfectly with this method and asks you to enter Elderwood physically to investigate. This conclude the quest for the first part. Let`s enter the Elderwood!
The Elderwood
Time to witness the birth of the magical place. Elderwood. Head over to bahari map and travel to the Outskirts to find the entrance.
Talk to Nai`o and he stated that he is constructing a New stable for Elderwood. Travel to the required location.

Tamala will stop you from exiting the cave and will infect you with a potion. You must find your way out one way or another. This will complete the quest one step behind.
Like a Shiprunt
head over to this exit found on the upper part of the cave by using the ropes to climb up.
As you have pass through the door, You will notice a infected vines blocking your way. Unfortunately, it cant be cutted by your axe. Go back inside and I will show you the way.

Check behind the pond and cut the vines to open the chest hiding inside. Now, do the same mechanic from the vines that are blocking your exit earlier. Now lets get out of this cave!
Fill the bowl beside the vine and cut to make your way to the exit.
Use your hoe to find the key hidden in this soil. Use it on the trapdoor beside it to finally exit the cave.
Then a strange boy will appear and he seems like he is trapped. Make your way to him and free him. He is the same boy Nai`o is finding earlier.
Cut the vines ahead of you and make sure to go this way since other ways are dead end.
Turn right from this junction and you will see an elevated part. Climb that and fill the bowl.
Fill the bowl and cut the vines and go that path since the other part is also dead end.
After this pond, The barrier on the right is the correct way. Continue straight ahead.
