Secret Knowledge of the Past

Search for [<S>121750|Suspicious-looking Clues] inside of the [ZONE_BOUTMAN_RUINS|Bethomian Ruins] and report your findings to [121693|Maik Madisen].

The <CY>Secret Art of Life</CY> is not only about the alchemical procedure of infusing energy into organic tissue, but also deals with methods of controlling the behaviour of these and other creatures.

I'm sure the former inhabitants have left more evidence in those ruins, and I'm not just talking about papers, records and documents here...

I need you to return to the [ZONE_BOUTMAN_RUINS|Bethomian Ruins] to continue the investigations. Find [<S>121750|Suspicious-looking Clues] that may be related to the <CY>Secret Art of Life</CY>. Any remaining equipment or tools would be especially helpful!

(After receiving the [242105|Eroded Alchemy Tools], [121693|Maik Madisen] starts to carefully examine the artifact's surface.)

Even if these engravings are a little blurry, I'd still reckon that we are looking at rune sigils here. They symbolize the symbiosis and unification of different types of natural powers.

Hurry, we are quite close to finding out the truth now.
