Worms Disposal: Gathering

This quest was originally titled Worms Removal: Application. To launch it, teleport to the village of Aaru and talk to the worried researcher Shriya. She will ask you to find and rescue Vinayak, who is stuck in the desert where duckies roam.

Blessing of Fall deals 20 Physical Damage

Once you find Vinayak using the quest marker, you can begin the challenge. During it, four-leafed symbols with the blessing of falling will appear on the arena. Activate them for a damage buff, then use your falling attacks to create shockwaves to deal increased damage to all enemies in the area. You can do without this buff if you wish.

As part of this challenge, you need to collect three components of the gun-piercing cannon. Near each of them you have to defeat a group of opponents, holding out for several minutes. In other words, the principle of this test is no different from standard combat events.

Each challenge has a unique bonus effect. In the first trial, the damage from the catalysts of all members of the squad is increased by 20%.

Getting rid of worms: Trial

Rewind the in-game time to 8:00 - 12:00 the next day to start the second challenge. Next, move along the quest marker to get to the desired location.

This time you will encounter a new mechanism. In this challenge, you need to install three charging mechanisms in order to activate the gunshot cannon. Of course, various opponents will try to interfere with you, so you will have to defeat each of the three groups. From time to time, ducks will appear from the ground, so you need to react to the yellow circles in the sand in time and run to the side so as not to be attacked by giant worms.

The second trial also has a bonus effect. The elemental damage dealt by falling attacks, normal attacks, and charged attacks of all party members has been increased by 20%.
