Bad Omens is a main quest in Wayfinder.

Description[edit]

Start

The Precursors want to destroy creation itself. You cannot let that happen. Face the First in the Repository of Knowledge and wrest what secrets you can from her lair. The fate of Skylight rests on your shoulders.

Active

The First Scribe of the Silver Codex appears to have been working with the Precursors, ancient foes of the Architects that want to unravel creation. For Skylight to have any hope of standing against this threat, Omen believes we need the secrets the First kept within her sanctum in the Repository of Knowledge. Face the First in her lair. The fate of Skylight rests on your shoulders.

Clear

The Omen you know is an echo of the First, created so that the First might escape her imprisonment. You defeated the First, and Omen believes her notes hold the key to reconnecting the Broken World. It may be difficult to trust Omen now, but you're both echoes—and you both can shape your own destinies.

Dialogue[edit]

Start Quest

Omen

Before you go... there's a secret I've been carrying, a burden that I've kept even from Lord Halar. With what you're about to do, you deserve to know the stakes of this battle.

This isn't just about protecting Skylight. The Precursors want to slaughter our gods and unravel creation, to collapse everything into the Gloom.

We're at war, but we don't understand our enemy. We don't know how to fight them. We need the secrets hoarded by the First to save Skylight, to save our people, and perhaps reality itself.

I wish I could fight by your side. But I... I'm bound to the Beacon. I cannot leave Skylight, ever. But I will be with you in spirit. We all will.

Player

I know.

Omen

Good luck, dear friend.

Clear Phase 3

The First

Do you think this death will last? The Precursors. They... They will come for me. When... When the Gloom swallows the world, they will come.

Player

No. You're nothing to them. You never were.

Omen

Are you there? Can you hear me?

Player

Omen?

Omen

Thank the Arcs! I could see, but you couldn't hear me. Oh, you did it. You survived!

Player

Did you hear what the First said?

Omen

I... I know you have questions. Please. Return to Skylight. Let us talk face to face.

Clear Quest

Omen

Where should I begin?

Player

Who are you?

Omen

I'm your friend. I found you in the Westreach, you and the others. Try to remember all that we did together, the path that led us to Skylight.

Player

Did you know who she was? What you are?

Omen

No. Years ago I awoke in the Highlands, knowing nothing of my past. As you explored Aurelian... I began to remember. And when you saw her, I knew.

I am an echo, like you. Cast in the image of a monster. She sent me out into the world to find a key to her prison. When I made the Gloom Daggers—when I saved you—was that her voice inside me?

I may never know. I'm not the First. You, I—we may be echoes, but we can choose our own paths. We can be better than the ones who made us.

Player

I hope you're right.

Omen

I know that I am. Together we will bring our world out of this darkness. And now, we know how.

The data you've recovered is priceless. It's complex and encrypted, but I know how the First thinks—I will crack this code. Her knowledge of the Precursors, of the Gloom—it's all within our grasp.

The First spoke of a network of Beacons and Balefires, "the blood of the Architects." The Precursors broke these connections, and this is what unleashed the Gloom.

If I can identify the location of another Beacon, you should be able to cut a path through the Gloom to reach it. We can reconnect the network. We can save our Architect and restore our world.

Player

You seem quite sure of that.

Omen

Because of you. You've done the impossible. You fought your way back from the Gloom and now you've given us new hope. All of Skylight is in your debt.

I'd hoped to give you time to rest, but while you were confronting the First the situation in the Highlands has gotten worse...
