Defeat Kynari in the Totem Trail to obtain the Potion of Purification. Use this on the Totem of Tero to summon and defeat Protection Souls of Tero. Afterwards, speak to Sezen Arar at the Woodcutter's Path. Use your quest tracker to see your progress.
Sezen Arar: This area is called the Totem Trail for a reason. There is Sezen Arar: a large number of totems in the area. Among them, Sezen Arar: the Totem of Tero and Totem of Lasse are known as Sezen Arar: guardian totems that carry sacred powers. NakanoAzusa: Guardian totems? Sezen Arar: Guardian totems are used for protecting sacred or Sezen Arar: important places. Those totems have strong effect Sezen Arar: on demon type monsters. Even the Dark Legion Sezen Arar: couldn't enter the forest during the last assault Sezen Arar: because of the totems. HiiragiKagami: But they're here now. Sezen Arar: Yes, the energy of the totems has weakened. Darkrane Sezen Arar: contaminated the totems to receive help of the Dark Sezen Arar: Legion. NakanoAzusa: So if we purify the totems, the Dark Legion wouldn't be NakanoAzusa: able to exercise their power in the forest. Sezen Arar: Yes. To purify the totems, an item called potion of Sezen Arar: purification is necessary. Kynari carry the potion Sezen Arar: during a ceremony to wash their body, but since the Sezen Arar: ceremony is close, Kynari from Anantor should have Sezen Arar: it on them. NakanoAzusa: What do we do after we have the potion? Sezen Arar: Sprinkle the potion on the Totem of Tero. That Sezen Arar: will make guardian souls affected by dark energy to Sezen Arar: appear. I think the totem will be recovered to its Sezen Arar: original state after you defeat a few of them. NakanoAzusa: Okay, I'll try to purify the totems.
