Tendrils Beneath



This quest can be fulfilled on any of the Akala's Searcher rifts in the Dunes of Akala. It is imperative that you complete all of the stages in the allotted time. As with Army of Stone and also with Desert Power you will have a few stages with 10 enemies...this is the main reason these quests are listed as group quests because it's a lot easier to do with a group. I've done all three of the rift Shimmersand quests alone however I wouldn't be able to do it without killing 4 or sometimes 6 enemies at the same time. You will need to kill 10 enemies (13K HP/each) in 3 minutes which is a bit hectic. When you get to stages 3 and 4 you will start to notice that the crystals surrounding the rift are now touchable.

Pick up the 4 blue Sourcestone crystals right away. At the end of lvl 5, after killing the sole boss, the gold crystal lode will spawn (easy to spot as it has a beam of golden light shooting skward). Just grab that and then kill the three remaining mobs to close the rift and complete the quest.

For most of the Shimmersand quests you will notice that you 'almost' without exception have to pick up or touch the various elements before killing the mobs and thus advancing to the next stage.
