Greetings, Adventurer. I see your Blackstar weapon exudes a crimson hue.
You've proven your might through your Blackstar weapon alone.
However, to keep Hadum, the Black Sun, which seeks to cover this world in darkness, at bay,
we will need to further grow in power...
To do so, we will need to borrow from the power of Godr-Ayed, the God of Depravity,
who lost his name after a fierce battle with Hadum.
While it pains me to resort to such means, it appears that we have no other way...
Give me the Scorching Sun Crystal bearing the aura of the fallen god,
along with the PEN (V) Blackstar awakening weapon.

Give me the Scorching Sun Crystal bearing the aura of the fallen god,
along with the PEN (V) Blackstar awakening weapon.

Here, this awakening weapon has been imbued with a portion of Godr-Ayed's power.
Wield it with care.

Completion Target: Merindora
