- 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!
|
<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!
