Walkthrough

• You have 30 minutes (Earth Time) to collect 9 Seed Afterglows.
  • Each afterglow gives a different coloured facet and spawns in a particular area of the map (see below).
    • There is a glitch where the first Afterglow you pickup is always red, no matter which room you start in.
  • Periodically, each afterglow will disappear and respawn somewhere else in the surrounding area.
• Upon selecting the Afterglow you will see text in your log window that will indicate the color.
  • You will not receive any items or key items from them.
  • You will receive warnings every 10 minutes that the mark on your hand is dimming. If you do not collect them quickly enough, it fades away and you must start over.
  • Leaving Fei'Yin will cancel this mission, allowing you to restart it.
• When all nine facets are collected, you may select a Mark of Seed or an Azure Key.
  • The Mark of Seed is required to enter the Battlefield for the next mission.
  • If you obtain the Mark of Seed, you will be unable to obtain the Azure Key until you enter the battlefield for the next mission.
  • If you obtain the Azure Key, you will be unable to obtain the Mark of Seed until you use it at the Treasure Coffer in the Tenshodo HQ and wait until the following Earth day (Japanese midnight).
• Take the Mark of Seed to the Qu'Bia Arena and select the Burning Circle for a cutscene.

Seed Afterglow Locations

• On the first map (upper level), there is one Afterglow in each of the four "large" rooms.
  • These give you Red, Orange, Yellow and Green facets on the back of your hand.
• On the second map (lower level), there is one Afterglow in the large main chamber, and three behind random Cermet Doors in the "clusters" of doors (one to the south, southwest, and west of the large main room). The Afterglows can be targeted through the doors and walls, making them easier to find.
  • These give you White, Cerulean, Silver and Gold facets on the back of your hand.
• The final Afterglow is where the Shadow NMs spawn. Go up the tunnel in E-7 from the basement to get to the other side of the first map. The Afterglow can be in a few rooms. Check E-7/F-7, F-6/F-7, and F-7/F-8.
  • This will give you the Blue facet on the back of your hand.
  • It can also be in the 2 small rooms off the hallway there.
