Oh dear. I thought we’d taken care of those pesky Shadow Beasts.

Looks like you won’t be able to free your magic unless you complete one of these Side Quests and make it to the Sanctuary. I believe in you!
Choose your quest:
The Shadow Beasts rise... What will you do?
Say to yourself: "I am facing a Shadow Beast. Shadows cannot harm me."
Your heart warms, reminding you: there is no danger here.
Repeat: "I will not abandon myself." The Critic appears.
You remember yourself. You admonish the Critic, who dissolves in the light of Truth.
Remember: you have survived, become the Explorer. You hold tremendous power.
Your body is vibrant and strong. You are almost there, don’t give up now!
Feel your strength. Notice the ground beneath you, holding you up.
Reach out — to a trusted companion, or your inner protector.
Remember, you are not alone. Your Team awaits you.
You realize, "I have choices now."
One step at a time. Focus only on the next step before you.
The storm will end. Shadows always fade.
You have arrived at the Sanctuary.
The fire glows. The air is calm. You are safe. You belong here.
🌒 Quest Complete.
When your quest is complete, you may proceed to the Sanctuary
Gather the 14 sacred ingredients to brew the Potion of Return. Each ingredient reveals a step back to safety.
