  1. Step 1: We brought Isbrand to the abandoned fort – Lacra thinks she might be able to help him. She told me to give her a day – I should return tomorrow.
  2. Step 2: I've given Lacra some time with Isbrand to figure out what might help him. I should go back to see them.
  3. Step 3: Isbrand isn't capable of talking to us. Our best bet is finding his memories and looking into them to see if there are any answers or clues lurking within.
  4. Step 4: You must go through the gate and see what's on the other side.
  5. Step 5: Lacra said the sandstorm ahead harbours one of Isbrand's memories. We must go in.
  6. Step 6: Our presence has drawn in hostile creatures of this plane. We must dispatch them before they kill us.
  7. Step 7: Another sandstorm rages by the echo of an ancient mansion. We must look inside it.
  8. Step 8: Another wave of enemies has emerged from the sands of the plane. We have to fight – and win. We can't die here.
  9. Step 9: Whatever the sandstorm ahead is hiding, Lacra didn't want me to see it.
  10. Step 10: One more sandstorm ahead. The echoes made it sound important – like something we've been looking for. We shouldn't waste time.
  11. Step 11: Time to move. We mustn't spend more time here than necessary.
  12. Step 12: What remains of Isbrand's soul saw enemies in us and attacked. We must defend ourselves, there is no other way.
  13. Step 13: Isbrand isn't capable of talking to us. Our best bet is finding his memories and looking into them to see if there are any answers or clues lurking within.
  14. Step 14: Isbrand isn't capable of talking to us. Our best bet is finding his memories and looking into them to see if there are any answers or clues lurking within.
