- 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.
- Step 2: I've given Lacra some time with Isbrand to figure out what might help him. I should go back to see them.
- 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.
- Step 4: You must go through the gate and see what's on the other side.
- Step 5: Lacra said the sandstorm ahead harbours one of Isbrand's memories. We must go in.
- Step 6: Our presence has drawn in hostile creatures of this plane. We must dispatch them before they kill us.
- Step 7: Another sandstorm rages by the echo of an ancient mansion. We must look inside it.
- 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.

- Step 11: Time to move. We mustn't spend more time here than necessary.
- Step 12: What remains of Isbrand's soul saw enemies in us and attacked. We must defend ourselves, there is no other way.
