Overview
Adventurers delve deeper into the Ash Vacuum, uncovering the ancient Yggdrasil Dungeon and Nidhoggur's Nest beneath the great World Tree. The Sapha and Laphine tribes, long at odds, must be brought together through diplomacy. A Petrified Sapha found in the Laphine dungeon hints at a shared history between the two races.
This episode also introduces the Scaraba Hole dungeon with insectoid enemies. The Guardian of Yggdrasil quest grants access to the Nidhoggur's Nest instance, while the Two Tribes quest bridges the gap between the warring Sapha and Laphine peoples through the story of a missing Laphine named Terra and a petrified Sapha named Ogen.

Dungeons
The Yggdrasil Dungeon entrance is found east of Splendide Field 1 at the root of the great tree. Level 1 features hidden portals (not shown on minimap). Level 2 has a cliff-crossing puzzle using a Strange Device to create stepping circles. Stepping outside the circles sends you back to the previous map.
Nidhoggur's Nest is an instance dungeon accessed after completing the Guardian of Yggdrasil quest. Inside, you face the challenges of the World Tree's depths and meet the mysterious Yggdrasiliad.
Discovering the Cave
Navigate through Yggdrasil Dungeon Level 2 to find the Gatekeeper at the end of the cliff-crossing puzzle. Report the discovery to Hibba Agip at Midgard Camp's Alliance HQ, then consult Historian Magnifier.
Researching the Lore
Visit Assistant Naomi in Prontera's Library and read through ancient papers. Then investigate what the Laphine and Sapha know by choosing to visit either Commander Lebiordirr in Splendide or the Laphine Prisoner and Neat Etorr in Manuk.
Gaining Access
Commander Agip plays the two tribes against each other: choose the Laphine branch (Aide Arioss gives you a guardian token and password) or the Sapha branch (through Neat Etorr and the Laphine Prisoner). Clear the Nidhoggur's Nest instance and speak to Yggdrasiliad. Rewards: 150,000 Base EXP, 3,500 Job EXP, and 10 Splendide or Manuk Coins.
Prerequisites
Requires: Ring of the Wise King quest (Ring of the Ancient Wise King equipped).
Finding Terra
In Splendide, speak to Arc the Guard Fairy and offer to find his missing friend Terra. Follow knotted weeds and footprints through the fields, tracking south, east, then north until you reach the root of the Yggdrasil Tree. Enter Nidhoggur's Dungeon and discover a Petrified Sapha in the northwest corner.
Bridging the Gap
Arc reveals Terra left with bradium. In Manuk, villagers confirm Terra's arrival. Speak to Snorren and offer to interpret. Arc provides Yggdrasil Berries to heal Terra's wounds. Collect 3 more berries from near the Yggdrasil Tree roots.
The Petrified Sapha
After healing Terra, learn about the injured Sapha named Ogen. Retrieve his muffler and unrefined bradium from the petrified body to prove the truth to Luik. Snorren recognizes the items and mourns Ogen, who cannot be saved. His body remains as a statue in his honor. Rewards: 15 Manuk Coins + 25 Splendide Coins, 120,000 Base EXP, 10,000 Job EXP.
