A Step in Time

Mission Description

The Hollow Earth lives, grows, and changes in time with its inhabitants. Those inhabitants have noticed the appearance of a new portal nearby. An [sic] cursory exploration by renowned explorer and Agartha cartographer Jerónimo de Montejo has revealed a dark and distressing world on the far side of the portal.

This mission is an unrepeatable one-time mission unlocking and providing attunement to the Dark Agartha. It is available at any Activities: Paragon board throughout Agartha.

Tier 1

Task Description

The Shadow Trafficker, a point of contact for Jerónimo de Montejo, has been asking to see you at his booth in Agartha. He says that Jerónimo left a package for you.

Objective: Go to the Shadow Trafficker's booth

Go to the cell containing the Shadow Trafficker's booth in the Hollowed Halls (575,150).

Objective: Pick up the package left by Jerónimo de Montejo

Take the mysterious box sitting nearby on a weapon crate in the Trafficker's stall. It is meant for you.

Pick it up to receive the item [Jerónimo's Package], which removes the Ability Point and Skill Point cost when attuning to the time-stream in Dark Agartha.

FIFO On-Screen Message

A small note attached to the package reads, "You'll need this. Look under the Gatekeeper. With your strength you can go where I cannot."

Tier 2

Task Description

Jerónimo de Montejo, the only man known able to map out Agartha, left a package for you with a cryptic note attached. "You'll need this. Look under the Gatekeeper. With your strength you can go where I cannot."

Objective: Search "under the Gatekeeper"

Follow Jerónimo's words and look under the Gatekeeper. There, a shattered platform hangs forlornly in the depths (490,175). Jump to it. As a bee, you can survive the fall to reach it - Jerónimo would never be able to.

Objective: Enter the portal

Enter the ominous portal. A difficulty selection prompt will appear when entering the portal. For the purposes of this mission, there is no wrong choice of difficulty. Select whatever difficulty you are comfortable with in order to Travel to Dark Agartha.

Tier 3

Task Description

Jerónimo's note lead you to a peculiar portal. On the other side, it appears death and destruction have come to Agartha. Many questions await answers in Dark Agartha.

Objective: Attune to the time-stream

Look to the small blue anima orb which controls the Anima Barrier and interact to attune to the apocalyptic time-stream seen before you. Doing so will consume [Jerónimo's Package] and waive the cost of attunement. Future attunement will cost 7 Ability Points and 15 Skill Points (7 AP/15 SP) per attempt by default but can have its price waived by consuming [Stabilizing Tachyons] or [Dense Stabilizing Tachyons].

Upon attunement, you will have 3 lives and 17 minutes in order to complete Dark Agartha. Attunement to the time-stream gives the mission Dark Agartha.

Attunement will initiate Dark Agartha. The clock is ticking, sweetling, so be prepared.
