The Girl from the Heavens

From the capital, head to the south towards the Dakaav Footpath. With just the two of you again, it will harder to farm off enemies so try to avoid them as much as you can unless you're pretty confident about your skill. You'll have a limited chance to explore the area and the whole map will only become accessible as you progress in the story. For now, head to the middle of the map where the two paths converge. You’ll encounter Eitolon enemies. Defeat several waves of them to trigger a cutscene.

Whooping Bandits

Fight off the mysterious soldiers until the young girl triggers a time stop. Once done, you’ll be carrying her. Leave the area and follow the path to the south leading back to Stahl.

Sent from the heavens
