Step 1
Eshelon says that the last key should be somewhere on the Palace grounds. He'll meet you there.
Goals
Meet Eshelon inside the palace grounds.
Dialogue with 
Eshelon
Eshelon: Amadeus Enfield inherited the Enfield Manor after the patriarch Majordomo disappeared.
Eshelon: The entrance to his laboratory was built just off of the main building, however. I believe the entrance should be in the middle of this hedge maze.
Eshelon: Seems like an inconvenient way to go to work every day, but from what I hear, Amadeus wasn't a fan of working much at all.
Eshelon: I expect his employees complained more about the trek than he had any chance to.
Eshelon: Come, the last relic awaits.
You: "No complaint about the maze?"

Dialogue with Beast of the Elderwood
Beast of the Elderwood: (As you turn the corner and reach the center of the maze you stop dead in your tracks.)
Beast of the Elderwood: (Before you sits the Beast of the Elderwood, watching your approach with eerie stillness.)
You: "Uh... 'sup?"

Step 3
The entrance to the final lab is blocked by an untimely intrusion of the Beast of the Elderwood. Subira will want to know.
Goals
Call Subira nearby.
Dialogue with
Subira: (You pull out your communication device and try to contact Subira.)
Subira: Player? Is everything alright?
Hassian: It went towards the Palace. Hurry-
You: "We found the Beast." 2 lines
Turn-in Dialogue with Eshelon
Eshelon: They're coming? Good. It seems dealing with the Beast has become our top priority once more.
Eshelon: I only hope they've made progress while we were busy.
Eshelon: Ah, I think I see your Watcher already. That was fast.
Royal Highlands
Step 4
With the Beast hindering your progress in collecting the keys, Subira and the rest of your party are on their way to help. She'll want to know what's going on.
Goals
Talk to Subira.
Dialogue with
Subira: You are unharmed? What a relief.
Subira: We were tracking the beast when we came across a... sizeable pool of blood and signs of a scuffle.
Subira: I must admit, I feared the worst...
Subira: I wouldn't allow Player to come to any harm. I gave you my word on that, and I meant it.
Subira: The blood is the Beast's. Apparently it got into a bit of a scuffle with something it couldn't quite handle.
Subira: There are no known large predators in the Royal Highlands.
Subira: Now that's not true. People are the most dangerous large predators I know.
Subira: Are you suggesting a <italic>person</> attacked the Beast?
Subira: I thought perhaps it was your hunter, but if he was with you the whole time, then...

Step 5
Ulfe wants to try and communicate with the Beast through his connection to Echo. It's time to confront this problem head-on.
Goals
Return to the Beast.
Dialogue with Beast of the Elderwood
Beast of the Elderwood: Maman... are you hurt?
Beast of the Elderwood: (The creature's ears droop. It tries to shift to hide the injury.)
Beast of the Elderwood: We help. Not hurt Maman more.
Beast of the Elderwood: Grrr...
Beast of the Elderwood: It okay. We just need know... your name?
Beast of the Elderwood: (The Beast actively recoils, Echo flaring in response.)
Beast of the Elderwood: (It washes over you, summoning another memory. You can hear a loud voice laughing in your ears, the cry of a baby.)
Beast of the Elderwood: (Then the feeling shifts, from joy to anger.)
Familiar Voice: You're just going to leave? What about us? What about Hassian?
Familiar Voice: This is the kind of stupid I'm supposed to get up to, not you! Who cares about our reputation, we'll build a new one!
Familiar Voice: You don't come back and I'll never forgive you, Taylin.
Beast of the Elderwood: (The memory slips away, leaving unshed tears in your eyes. Beside you, Ulfe trembles from the weight of the Echo.)
Beast of the Elderwood: (The Beast shrinks away, looking at the two of you in what looks almost like shame.)
You: "We have to talk to Hassian." 3 lines
Step 6
The Beast showed you one of its memories - one that seems to be from the perspective of Hassian's mama. He'll want to know.
Goals
Talk to Hassian.
Dialogue with
Hassian: I am not here to <italic>torment</> you, Hassian. You needn't view me with such suspicion.
Hassian: Then perhaps you don't need to derive so much joy from my discomfort.
Hassian: Oh pish. I derive joy from teasing anyone who takes themselves too seriously.
Hassian: You're simply the King of Pomp- Oh, hello, Player. What's with the dour expression?
Hassian: Has something happened with the Beast?

Step 7
Hassian knows what you need for the ritual to help the Beast resist her curse. Luckily, Sifuu apparently carries it with her everywhere.
Goals
Find Sifuu by the Central Stables.
Dialogue with
Sifuu: Player! Here to help with the hunt?
Sifuu: Mother...
Sifuu: Whoa, what's that expression for, huh? What's wrong?!
Sifuu: Mama's alive.
Sifuu: WHAT?!
Sifuu: Who? Where? When? Why? How????
Sifuu: Wait, hold up. Tell me everything.

Royal Highlands
Step 8
With everything you need for the ritual gathered, its time to talk to Tamala.
Goals
Talk to Tamala about the ritual.
Dialogue with
Tamala: Ugh. I didn't realize she'd be involved. You sure we can't do that ritual thingy without her?
Tamala: You're welcome to try. I can't guarantee what side effects might occur.
Tamala: You better not sabotage this. Anyways, where's my wife?!
Tamala: She's still in the center of the maze, yes?
Tamala: Of course. The little lordling and Subira are keeping an eye on her with Ulfe.
Tamala: I don't suggest you approach as is. She'll have plenty more to say once we complete the ritual.
Tamala: We're close enough here to do it safely. Given you've got the final piece?
You: "(Show Tamala the protective charm.)" 2 lines · 4 replies
Royal Highlands

Step 10
You've completed the ritual to free Taylin from some of her curse. What happens now?
Goals
Listen to the wind.
Dialogue
Eshelon: (Hassian lights the braziers as soon as you place the charm down.)
Eshelon: (For a moment nothing happens... and then you hear a vicious roar from the Garden and a flash of purple light.)
Eshelon: (The explosion of Echo blacks out your vision. Just like before you can feel the desperation waiting at the edge of consciousness.)
Eshelon: (A shadow clawing through the Veil, heedless to the collateral damage, or maybe reveling in it.)
Eshelon: <echo>Let me in.</>
Eshelon: (Something rushes past your head. Your vision returns soon after, as if nothing ever happened.)
Eshelon: Did it work? I didn't feel anything- you okay, Player??
Eshelon: Yes, you look quite pale, darling.
You: "I heard a voice." 3 lines
You: "I'm okay!" 2 lines
Royal Highlands
Step 11
It seems like the ritual worked? Time to see how the Beast is doing.
Goals
Head back to the Beast.
Dialogue with
Taylin: It's really you- oh, Sifuu, I'm so sorry, I-I made a huge mistake-
Taylin: The yelling can come later! Until about ten minutes ago I thought you were DEAD!
Taylin: Now I found out my wife's not only alive, but she's a sexy werewolf?!
Taylin: You really haven't changed, I'm so glad...
Taylin: (The laugh causes her to wince a second later. Hassian lurches forward, worried.)
Taylin: A-and you... is that my baby all grown up?
Taylin: It's me.
Taylin: You got so <italic>big</>. Oh, you look so handsome!
Taylin: I-is Ulfe okay? Have you met him? He isn't... hurt, is he?
Taylin: I... am here, maman.
Taylin: Oh, what a relief. I'm s-so sorry... I left you alone in the woods. Y-you must have been terrified-
Taylin: What about you? You're hurt!
Taylin: (Taylin winces again, swaying slightly on her feet. She's holding her side tightly to staunch the flow of blood.)
Taylin: I-I've... had worse.
Taylin: You're barely standing up! That's it, we're taking you to Chayne!
Taylin: (Sifuu lifts Taylin right up into her arms, carefully cradling her to avoid jostling her injury.)
Taylin: There's more i-important- oh...
Taylin: (She swoons, all the blood draining from her face as she drops into unconsciousness.)
Taylin: Mama?!
Taylin: She's okay, she's okay, just taking a little nap. I can wrap her up until we reach the village.
Taylin: ...I know a shortcut. Ulfe, are you coming?
Taylin: ! I can... go?
Taylin: She's your maman too. Come on.
Taylin: (Hassian spares a glance at you, tears in his eyes.)
Taylin: Thank you.
Taylin: (He quickly rushes off with the others.)
Royal Highlands
Step 12
With the day seemingly saved - at least in terms of the Beast of the Elderwood - Subira wants to talk.
Goals
Check in with Subira.
Dialogue with
Subira: I cannot imagine what Sifuu and Hassian are feeling right now.
Subira: Taylin should be alright. The wound did not look fatal at a glance, and Sifuu's well versed in field dressing.
Subira: Unfortunately we cannot put our mission on hold to follow them.
Subira: I'm sure they'd prefer some time as a family anyways. So saccharine...
Subira: Pity she couldn't tell us more about what happened to her before she fainted. I've plenty of questions.
Subira: We'll simply have to follow up later. You and Eshelon have one more relic to collect, right?
Subira: Since our work with the Beast is wrapped up for the moment, we may as well join you. Eshelon's already gone ahead through the trap door.
