Objectives

Collect 12 Replicating Essence.

•  [Replicating Essence] (12)

Description

This growth energy is highly unusual. I would like to know more about how it affects the local automa.

Harvest replicating essence from deceased automa in the Catalyst Gardens.

Bring it back to me for study.

Rewards

You will receive:

• 25 74
• 8,150 XP
•  [Emblem of Renown]

Progress

Do you have the replicating essence?

Completion

Hmm... it replicates rapidly until it kills the host.

This is more of a curse than a gift!

Notes

Upon accepting any of the three quests, Nadjia starts following the player.

Nadjia the Mistblade says: My blade is yours.

When entering combat, she may say:

• Nadjia the Mistblade says: A little landscaping is in order here.
• Nadjia the Mistblade says: So bright. So cheerful. I hate it.

When killing a mob, she may say:

• Nadjia the Mistblade says: Simplicity itself.
• Nadjia the Mistblade says: Ugh. There is sap all over my blade.

The Replicating Essence is looted from the dead Overloaded Protectors throughout the Gardens. Looting an Essence causes the Protector's corpse to disintegrate.

After turning in all three quests, a cutscene plays:

Draven, Nadjia, and the Maw Walker walk to the top of the ramp leading down into the gardens.

Nadjia the Mistblade says: And now to craft a strategy...

General Draven says: The strategy is: I go first!

Draven takes off.

Nadjia the Mistblade says: Hey! Get back here!

As the general flies toward the Catalyst, automa on the ground come to life and start firing at him. He manages to dodge several projectiles, but one hits him and sends him crashing into the pool at the center of the Gardens. Back at the ramp, Nadjia, the Maw Walker, and Tactician Sakaa prepare for combat. Draven gets to his feet and prepares to fight as well.
