  • Hien is ready to undertake the challenge of Bardam's Mettle.
  • If you are to participate in the Naadam and fight alongside the Mol, you must first be recognized as a warrior of the Steppe. To earn this honor, you will be required to complete a rite of passage involving walking in the footsteps of the legendary Bardam and taming a yol. Steeling yourselves, you and your comrades set forth upon the peril-fraught path of the hero's namesake.
※Challenge Bardam's Mettle with other players via the Duty Finder, or with a party of NPCs via Duty Support. Both systems are accessible from the main menu as well as the dungeon's entrance point.
  • At the end of a strange and bewildering journey through Bardam's Mettle, you manage to tame a wild yol in the traditional fashion. Trial complete, you leave with your comrades.
  • You emerge back at the entrance, breathing a sigh of relief. Wondering what happens next, you turn to speak with Lyse.
  • Suddenly recalling the whistles entrusted to her by Cirina, Lyse brings them forth, handing one to you. With a blow, you summon your respective yols, which circle in the skies above in acknowledgement of your new bond. There can be no doubt: you are now warriors of the Steppe.

Nothing left but to begin, then.


To complete the trial, we must pass through Bardam's Mettle and each tame a yol. How precisely we are to do this, I am not sure, but since countless warriors before us have succeeded, I imagine we'll muddle through somehow...


But enough talk! We have a Naadam to win!
Quest Accepted
<huff> <puff> This is it! The real trial!
Tread softly. We are for hallowed ground, and the kami are restless...
First the trial, then the Naadam, then Doma, then Ala Mhigo! We'll be back home before you know it!
Quite frankly, if I cannot convince a large bird to follow me, then what hope do I have with the Xaela? Or my own countrymen, for that matter.
I have stood upon more battlefields than I can count and lived to tell the tale. No bird will be my downfall!

Oh, right. I've still got those whistles Cirina gave me.


Here's yours. I suppose we ought to give them a try like she said.

Up there, look!


I think that means we've won them over. That one there is yours, right? The other one is mine. Awww...


So that's that, then! We're officially warriors of the Steppe!
