Mission information
Objectives
- Destroy the "chaos rifts" in Haiju Lagoon. [0...8] rifts destroyed.
Reward
Walkthrough
Enter via Captain Rujiyo in Shing Jea Monastery. Opening the mission map will show you the locations of the rifts. Red flags are open rifts, blue ones are closed ones. The Chaos Rifts can be reopened by patrolling mobs, so be sure you kill all enemies in the surrounding area.
There is a pop-up group in front of the spawn point so it is best to trigger it and pull them backwards to avoid an incoming patrol. Beyond that patrol is rift 1 and a pop-up group. On the way to rift 2 is another pop-up group near a windmill and then a larger group of 5 on the rift itself. Backing up a bit on the path to rift 2 is a bridge with a regular patrol and then with a group of 4 and rift 3 on the other side. Down the slope to rift 4 is a patrol and a pop-up group, with another pop-up group on the bottom and a smaller group on the rift itself.
From rift 4 it is best to backtrack to rift 2 before continuing. On the way to rift 5 is a patrol will approach from behind though the rift itself is easy. Rift 6 is a good bit more difficult as there is a pop-up group just before the rift and both a small patrol of 2 and a large patrol of 4 on the rift itself. There are several pop-ups on the beach afterwards, and a larger patrol of 4 on rift 7 after that. Rift 6 is the closest spot to rift 8, where a Torment Claw and a very large group of 6 guard the rift on an islet and there are several small patrols circling around it that should be removed first.
Tips
- Bring hexes and skills that inflict conditions and spam targets for your heroes, they will quickly dispose of the foes.
- Make your target priority Wrathful Storms (area of effect damage), Banished Dream Riders, Scythes of Chaos, then Grasps of Insanity.
- If your party can spread apart to avoid having 2 or more party members being hit by the Wrathful Storms' area of effect damage, then the target priority can be Banished Dream Riders, Scythes of Chaos, Wrathful Storms, then Grasps of Insanity.

Dialogue
Introductory dialogue
- Captain Rujiyo: "Places, everyone, places. *Ahem* Canthans, our troops report enemy forces arriving en masse. Check in with me to receive battle orders!"
- Imperial Guard Musashi: "Captain! Enemy forces have been sighted all across Haiju Lagoon."
- Captain Rujiyo: "Do we have spare troops to that region?"
- Imperial Guard Musashi: "No Captain, all troops are currently engaged."
- Captain Rujiyo: "We need to organize anyone with fighting experience. Those rifts must be closed!"
- Captain Rujiyo: "Get back to the lagoon and monitor their movements. I'll send reinforcements as soon as I can."
- Imperial Guard Musashi: "Yes, Captain. Right away!"
Entry dialogue
- Captain Rujiyo
- "My troops have received reports of rifts opening across Haiju Lagoon. The enemy is using these portals to conquer the small villages on the eastern half of the island. We've called for mainland reinforcements, but they've yet to arrive. We desperately need the help of skilled individuals such as you. Will you serve the emperor?"
- Accept: "Yes, I am ready to help the emperor."
- Decline: "Not right now, I'm busy."
Notes
- This mission is only available for a 30 minute period on the schedule set for the Dragon Festival.
- The average completion time for the quest is 20 minutes.
- The actors share the same racial traits as the creatures they imitate and thus only corpses from Demon and Wurm actors are exploitable.
Trivia
- 50 Jade Wind Orbs was the reward in 2006
- In addition to the monsters listed above, Terrorweb Dryders also appeared during Dragon Festival 2006.
- In subsequent years, all quests and missions were re-enactments of the first year's events. As such, the original monsters were replaced with actors and the rifts with pinwheels.
