Prerequisite: The Spire Wakes
- 6 × Surge Core — collect objective
Quest text: At each surge's heart sits a core — a knot of raw signal bound in stone. Six of them, set side by side, will triangulate where the disturbance is centered. I suspect I already know, the Witness, and I dearly hope that I am wrong.
