Stage 1

» Speak to Aledar in the Detlas Barracks at [511, 67, -1613].

• Aledar: Oh, <playername>! Hey! It's good to see you and Tasim again. Hope you didn't have too many adventures without me!
  • If Elemental Exercise isn't completed:
    • Aledar: Tasim's gone off to the training room, if you were looking for him. He's really jumping straight into it, which... is good! We all need to get stronger so we can defend the province.
  • If Elemental Exercise is completed:
    • Aledar: Tasim told me all about the corrupted force you took out. I wish I could have been there to help!
• Aledar: ...Oh! Since you're here- I was about to head out to join Lieutenant Van's squad to take back a tower overtaken by corrupteds. You should come with us, too!
• Aledar: Well? What do you think? Want to get some real combat experience? It shouldn't take long.
  • [1] Sure, I'll come with you.
    • Aledar: Perfect. Well, no time better than the present! Let's get going.
    • Aledar: Oh, wait. There's a stop we've got to make first. Follow me to the Powder Master!
  • [2] Sorry, I've got something to do here first.
    • Aledar: Oh. Alright.
    • Aledar: Well, I'll still be here for a while. If you change your mind, let me know!

Stage 2

» Follow Aledar to the Powder Master at [485, 67, -1624].

• Aledar: Alright, so. There's something I've been told about the tower we're going to be attacking which we can prepare for!
• Aledar: Apparently, the big bad at the top of the tower is weak to ✽ Water damage! And so, here we are at the Powder Master
• Aledar: You can apply various elemental powders to your weapons here, which lets them deal types of damage they might not have been able to before.
• Aledar: In this case, you can apply a ✽ Water powder, so that your weapon will be more effective against the corrupted enemies at the tower!
• Aledar: I, uh... don't remember the whole elemental speech off the top of my head. If you want to know more about those, you'll have to talk to Captain Ragon in the barracks. He has a whole course about it!
• Aledar: ...The point is- here. Take this elemental powder and talk to the Powder Master to apply it. Let me know when you're done!
• [+1 Water Powder I]

Stage 3

» Apply a Water Powder to your weapon, then let Aledar know at [485, 67, -1624].

Despite what the quest says, you don't have to apply the Water Powder to your weapon.

• Aledar: Got the powder on your weapon? Good, that means we're ready.
• Aledar: Lieutenant Van and the others are by that bunch of houses in the Detlas Suburbs- you probably saw it on your way in.
• Aledar: Lead the way! I'll be right behind you.

Stage 4

» Meet up with Lieutenant Van's squad near the Raging Tower at [231, 69, -1620].

File:Aledar(TakingtheTower).png

• Lieutenant Van: Ah, Aledar! Good to see you here. Who's this with you?
• Aledar: This is <playername>, sir. They're here to join our assault, if you'll allow it.
• Lieutenant Van: Hm... Well, I don't see why not. The more the merrier, that's what I say.
• Lieutenant Van: If everyone's here, we can begin. Here's the plan! We'll need to fight off some of the forces near the base of the tower, so that someone can climb to the top.
• Lieutenant Van: It doesn't matter who does the job, so long as it gets done. If you see an opportunity- go for it!
• Lieutenant Van: If you need to retreat, or the corrupteds are slain, regroup here! Understood?
• Aledar: Yes, sir!
  • Detlas Soldier: Yes, sir!
  • Detlas Soldier: Understood!
  • Detlas Soldier: Yes, sir.
  • Detlas Soldier: Got it.
  • Detlas Soldier: Yessir!
• Lieutenant Van: Good. Alright soldiers, let's take back that tower!

Stage 5

» Assault the Raging Tower at [155, 66, -1698] and defeat the monster at the top.

• Aledar: Alright. It's time to take on the tower! We've got this, <playername>.

File:Aledar(TakingtheTower).png

• Aledar: We did it, we killed the corrupted! Come on, let's get back to Lieutenant Van with the news!

• Lieutenant Van: It seems everyone has returned. Well? Have the corrupted forces been vanquished?
• Aledar: They have, lieutenant. <playername> and I reached the top and defeated the corrupted.
• Lieutenant Van: Fine work, soldiers! Another great victory for the Detlas army. With the leader killed, it shouldn't be too difficult to clear out the rest of them.
• Lieutenant Van: I'll let the Admiral know of your victory today, soldiers. And- here, some payment for your work.
• Lieutenant Van: The two of you have a promising future. I look forward to serving with you in the future!
