Proving to be no match against Shizel's Dark Aurora, the Fibrill of Nereid, the protagonists meet with the researcher Galenos in order to better understand the situation at hand and learn what to do next. Galenos informs them that Divine Aurora obtained from completing the Trials of Seyfert can combat the Dark Aurora. They also learn that Rassius Luine, who saved them using an incomplete Divine Aurora, died in the process because he had not yet completed the trials. Reid Hershel, using the Seyfert Key given to him by Ras, decides to undergo the trials himself and leaves with his companions in search of the Seyfert Shrine after escorting Galenos to Shileska's Hideout.
