When you’re ready, leave the city via the northernmost exit, past the Residential Ward and the dye pits. You’ll want to meander down to the rocky coastline towards the beach, and be wary of thesauriansalong the way. Eventually you’ll encounter a group of researchers looking around on the ground. The head researcher,Ambrosius, will ask you to bring himSmall Blue Crystal Shards. You can find them along the beach, and when you return them to him he’ll ask for bigger fragments, telling you to seek out two figures for more information - theDragonforged, and theOracle Luz.
Get ready to jog across Battahl to visit these two shrines, both of which sadly couldn’t be located closer to each other. |Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Capcom

The Oracle Luz is a fair distance away in theReverent Shrine, located in Battahl’s jungles. When you get there, talk with her and she’ll reveal that you need to return to Harve Village. She’ll also give you theTrickstervocation, perhaps the most challenging class inDragon’s Dogma 2.
Hopefully, you heeded our advice earlier to unlock the Portcrystal in Harve Village, and can just pop a Ferrystone to get back fast. If you didn’t, you’re in for a lengthy journey as you have to travel back the long way. Once at the village, head to the southwestern edge of town and speak with theRivage Elderto finish this quest and witness a mysterious shrine rising from the sea.
