Completing the quest The Truth About the Mysterious Island

How to start

The quest should become active immediately after completing “The Riddle of the Sky and Sea”. Otherwise, log back into your account after waiting 20-30 minutes.

Go to Mualani and the others

Head to the northern part of the island, where you set up camp in the previous quest. While you were resting, the scientists and Mualani were able to make the whirlpools appear again.

Enter the Large Whirlpool

We warn you right away that after this stage of the quest you will find yourself in a story dungeon, where you will not be able to change your squad. We advise you to make a team mainly of Hydro heroes and, conversely, refuse Pyro characters – you will have to fight elemental entities, so the water element will be most effective. In addition, stock up on healing food in advance, since in one of the tests you can lose a lot of HP.

Having prepared for the expedition, sail north until you reach the whirlpool.

Move Forward

A trial Mualani will join your squad. Go forward through the cave. For easy movement on water, use Mualani's elemental skill.

Jump into the hole in the ground.

Look Around

Go forward and defeat 3 waves of Pyro Slimes. Open the Rich Chest.

Move on. Fly over the lava and open a regular chest. Beware of the rocks that fall from the ceiling as you fly.

Fly to the next regular chest. Carefully walk along the strip of land to trigger a short cutscene and get to the next area.

Explore the surrounding area

Examine the corundine right in front of you.

Then turn left and examine the lava.

Go further, fly over the waterfall of liquid phlogiston and talk to the scientists. Viramdra will see a golden glow – this is vulcanite, a rare and expensive ore. On the map of Mualani, however, it is written that you need to go in the opposite direction from the golden light. Viramdra will decide that the girl wants to appropriate the treasure for herself, and will run away. The lava will immediately begin to rise.

Defeat the Monsters

Fight two waves of Pyro Slimes and Lava Incarnations.

Save Viramdru

To catch up with the scientist, Mualani will decide to swim straight through the lava. Once you have control over the heroine, use her E-key and move forward. Watch out for falling rocks – dark circles will appear on the lava before they appear – and don't forget to collect Phlogiston Seeds to prolong the Surf Shark's life.

Next, watch a large cutscene with the rescue of Viramdra and your return to the surface. By touching the statue, you will learn the story of the first chief of the tribe: he went through the same thing as you, and the real treasure was not the mysterious island, but his friends, with whom he founded the Folk of the Wellsprings.

Return the Talisman with Mualani

Return to the mentor Mualani. It turns out that not only he, but many other members of the tribe went on the journey, but they all decided to keep it a secret so that the legend would inspire younger generations – unlike Ko'olau, for whom the fictitious expedition became a reason to brag.
