Walkthrough
Go the the Far Silverwastes and enter the instance at the sealed cave. In the instance, talk to Marjory to get the divine fire and then interact with the Mysterious Wall. You need to interact with it three times to open up the portal. Talk to Marjory and then enter the cave.
Inside the cave, make sure to stick to Rox or you might get lost in the darkness. Follow the path through the cave and fight off any foes you encounter. Finally, you reach into a huge golden cave where you can find a memory seed location in the south west. Interact with the memory location to enter Caithe's memory. As Caithe, keep talking to Wynne to learn about the sylvari's secret. Afterwards, the memory will end.
After you confronted Caithe, the Shadow of the Dragon appears. In the first phase, you need to defeat the tendrils. In the next phase, the dragon will go underground and attack from there. In that phase, you will need to light a ring of divine fire. For that, Rox will spawn circles that imbue you with divine fire when you walk through them. This allows you to light a fire. In addition Braham will try to protect you with a bubble, so you can light the fire without being interrupted. Once you have completed the ring of divine fire, you can attack the dragon. After a while, the whole thing repeats with the first phase. Eventually in the second phase, Smothering Shadows will spawn. These will extinquish fires you already lighted and they are only vulnerable if you are imbued by the divine fire. So it's best to stand in one of Rox' circles, hit the shadow to kill it, and then immediately become imbued again to light the next fire.
Once you have defeated the Shadow of the Dragon, you reunite with your group to deal the finishing blow, which completes the story chapter and season two of the Living World.

Dialogue
- Rox: Looks like somebody's been here recently.
- Braham Eirsson: So this is where we're planting the last seed?
- Rox: Caithe was in here years ago, so it's as good a place as any.
- Marjory Delaqua: The boss's last memory vision showed Wynne running into here. Caithe and Faolain were right behind her.
- Kasmeer Meade: If this place is of any importance, maybe we'll find something that will lead us to her.
- Marjory Delaqua: OK, boss. Would you like to do the honors?
- Talking to Braham
- We'll watch your back. Just be careful. That thing looks volatile.
- Thanks, buddy. I'll be cautious.
- Talking to Kasmeer
- The magic coming from that torch feels so...clean. I don't know how else to describe it. It's pure in a way I've never seen.
- It comes from a strong source.
- Talking to Rox
- What are we doing here, boss? What's up with the torch?
- It's a long story, but Ogden Stonehealer thinks it'll help us get inside.
- Kasmeer Meade: What's inside?
- We don't know. But, the symbolism on the rock is from the forgotten.
- Marjory Delaqua: The torch is burning with divine fire, Kas. Like what the gods imbued the Ascended with. Ogden thinks it will interfere with the forgotten magic and allow us to entrance.
- Let's hope so. My instincts are telling me the next seed site is in there.
- Marjory Delaqua: The torch is burning with divine fire, Kas. Like what the gods imbued the Ascended with. Ogden thinks it will interfere with the forgotten magic and allow us to entrance.
- We don't know. But, the symbolism on the rock is from the forgotten.
- Kasmeer Meade: What's inside?
- It's a long story, but Ogden Stonehealer thinks it'll help us get inside.
- Talking to Marjory
- I kept the torch safe, just like you asked. You know how to use this thing?
- Um...wave it around and hope something happens?
- Good enough for me.
- You think we'll be attacked?
- Always a chance. I saw Mordrem stirring to the north, closer than I'm comfortable with. They might be following us.
- Okay. Well, here goes.
- I want to check in with the rest of my team before we start.
- Always a chance. I saw Mordrem stirring to the north, closer than I'm comfortable with. They might be following us.
- You think we'll be attacked?
- Good enough for me.
- Um...wave it around and hope something happens?
- Rox: Do your thing. We'll watch your back.
- After interacting with the wall for the first time
- Braham Eirsson: Can you go any faster? We've got company.
- After interacting a second time
- Marjory Delaqua: Protect the boss!
- After interacting a third time (cutscene)
- Marjory Delaqua: What's happening?
- Talking to Marjory
- Strange... As soon as you completed the ritual with the Divine Fire, the Mordrem got spooked and ran off. Almost like—
- Like it was warding them off?
- Perhaps. Come on, we should probably hurry in case they return.
- Understood. Rox, can you carry the flame for now?
- Rox: Sure, boss. Hand it here.
- Here you go.
- Rox: Sure, boss. Hand it here.
- Understood. Rox, can you carry the flame for now?
- Perhaps. Come on, we should probably hurry in case they return.
- Like it was warding them off?
- Marjory Delaqua: I guess some spells take longer than others. Thanks for opening the cave for us.
- Marjory Delaqua: Come on, boss. Let's see what's inside.
- After entering the cave
- Braham Eirsson: All right. I wasn't expecting that.
- Rox: I'll light the way. Stay close.
- After defeating the group of cave spiders
- Marjory Delaqua: Great, half the cave system knows we're here by now.
- Reaching the group of Echoes
- Kasmeer Meade: What are these things?
- Braham Eirsson: Whatever it is, kill it!
- After defeating them
- Marjory Delaqua: I'm beginning to think those...things...were left here by the Forgotten.
- Reaching the golden cavewr
- Kasmeer Meade: Oh. What is this place?
- Marjory Delaqua: Wait... Boss, didn't you say there was a golden location in your vision?
- Kasmeer Meade: Does it feel like this is the place to plant the final seed? What's your intuition telling you?
- Talking to Braham
- I wish this were real gold. Can you imagine what Hoelbrak could build with it? A new lodge honoring one of the Spirits, maybe.
- That's a nice thought, Braham. I'm sure Hoelbrak would be grateful.
- Talking to Rox
- This place makes my skin crawl. Too much magic all in one place. I don't think I care for these forgotten creatures.
- They've been gone from this world for a long time Rox. No need to worry.
- Talking to Kasmeer
- I've never seen anything so amazing as this place. I wish the queen could see this. She'd swoon at the beauty.
- Stay alert, Kasmeer. This isn't one of your romantic tales.
- Talking to Marjory
- Boss, my heart is pounding. This magic—this energy—it's faded, but I can still feel it. It's like nothing I've ever known. Though these ruins look civilized, the magic is...primal.
- I wish we knew how long these ruins have been here.
- Interacting with the Rings
- These mysterious objects must have had a purpose, but it's impossible to know what that was. Like the golden rock, they're tarnished with age, but the magic still glows faintly.
- Leave.
- Interacting with the Magical Artifact
- There's nothing here to indicate who turned this cave the color of gold, but the lingering magic is still apparent here and there. The very air is thick with promise—the promise of discovery.
- Leave.
- Interacting with the Bristle-Burn Bush
- Its scarlet color warns away animals and adventurers who might stray too close to this bristle-burn plant. Its prick is renowned for causing the most excruciating pain.
- Avoid it.
- Interacting with the Stools and Steins
- In the middle of this magical and mysterious place, it feels odd to find something as mundane as a stool and an ale mug.
- Leave.
- Interacting with the Sleeping Sack
- Nothing could seem more out of place here than a sleeping sack. There's nothing ancient about it. Someone has been here...recently. There are no identifying marks to indicate who...or what.
- Leave.
Caithe's memory
- Faolain: You're not leaving until you tell me the truth.
- Wynne: Why? Why are you doing this?
- Faolain: Because I need to know. We need to know. Tell me what you and Mother were talking about that day.
- Caithe: Faolain...this isn't necessary.
- Wynne: Please, Faolain. Stop this. Please. I promised our mother I wouldn't tell anyone. Please...let's go talk to her.
- Faolain: I'll make you wish you'd never left the Dream, traitor.
- Talking to Wynne
- Caithe... I swore to Mother...
- Wynne, just tell her what she wants to know and we can go home.
- Faolain: She's betraying us all, Caithe. It's as clear as the tears on her face.
- Faolain...maybe this has gone far enough.
- No. It hasn't gone nearly far enough. Maybe pain will make her talk. I saw a bristle-burn plant on the way in. Watch her, Caithe. I'll be back shortly.
- Wynne, please. I'm tired. I just want to go back to the Grove. Tell her.
- Wynne: The centaurs...didn't have to die. You must see that she's going too far this time, don't you? And she's dragging you along with her.
- I need time to think.
- Wynne: The centaurs...didn't have to die. You must see that she's going too far this time, don't you? And she's dragging you along with her.
- Wynne, please. I'm tired. I just want to go back to the Grove. Tell her.
- No. It hasn't gone nearly far enough. Maybe pain will make her talk. I saw a bristle-burn plant on the way in. Watch her, Caithe. I'll be back shortly.
- Faolain...maybe this has gone far enough.
- Faolain: She's betraying us all, Caithe. It's as clear as the tears on her face.
- Wynne, just tell her what she wants to know and we can go home.
- Talking to Wynne (cutscene)
- Wynne: I can't tell her what she's asking for, Caithe. You've seen what Faolain's capable of. She massacred those centaurs.
- Caithe: They attacked first. She had to defend herself.
- Wynne: She struck first. He was unarmed.
- Caithe: I... I... No. I don't think she'd...
- Wynne: She'll torture me until I tell my secret. That will be the end of our kind.
- Caithe: The end of sylvari? What do you mean?
- Wynne: We come from the jungle dragon. We belong to it. We're meant to serve it.
- Caithe: You're lying!
- Wynne: I saw it in my Dream. And if Faolain knew, she wouldn't keep it a secret.
- Wynne: She'd use it against Mother. When word got out, the world would see us as monsters.
Back in the reality
- Rox: Hey, Boss. You back? Caithe is here.
- Talking to Caithe
- Was that a memory seed I saw?
- It was. The Pale Tree gave it to me.
- Then you know...what Wynne told me...and what I did. What are you going to do?
- Tell me, is it true?
- Which part? Did I murder one of my fellow firstborn? Do we sylvari come from an Elder Dragon? (sigh) Yes...it's all true.
- You need to give me the egg. Right now.
- Why was Wynne the only one who knew the truth?
- She was the first of the night blooms. Her Dream revealed it to her. I know now that she viewed protecting us from the truth as her Wyld Hunt.
- You need to give me the egg. Right now.
- Does the Pale Tree know what happened with Wynne?
- Of course. She felt Wynne's death, and the Dream revealed what had happened. I've never seen her so heartbroken. Over time she forgave me, though I don't think she ever forgave Faolain.
- So what now? I know the secret too. Do you expect me to keep it to myself?
- It doesn't matter anymore. The secret will come out on its own soon enough. Already, sylvari have been losing control of themselves. Mordremoth won't stop there.
- I can't believe this is happening. You must give me the egg. Now.
- Why did you bring the egg here, of all places?
- This place...it reminds me how far I will go to protect my people. This egg is critical to our future.
- You need to give me the egg. Right now.
- This place...it reminds me how far I will go to protect my people. This egg is critical to our future.
- Does the Pale Tree know what happened with Wynne?
- (same as above)
- It doesn't matter anymore. The secret will come out on its own soon enough. Already, sylvari have been losing control of themselves. Mordremoth won't stop there.
- So what now? I know the secret too. Do you expect me to keep it to myself?

- Tell me, is it true?
- Then you know...what Wynne told me...and what I did. What are you going to do?
- It was. The Pale Tree gave it to me.
- Caithe: The egg must be protected.
- Caithe: You and I are on the same side. Don't ever forget that, my friend.
- Caithe: The dragon's shadow is upon us!
- As the Shadow of the Dragon appears (cutscene)
- Braham Eirsson: Boss! Can you hear me? We're cut off. We'll try to help you from out here.
- After defeating the tendrils
- Braham Eirsson: Look out—the dragon's headed straight for you!
- Braham Eirsson: Use the divine fire!
- Braham Eirsson: I'll shield you when I can!
- When Rox gives divine fire
- Rox: Here, take this!
- Rox: This may come in handy!
- When Braham casts the protective bubble
- Braham Eirsson: Boss!
- After completing the second phase
- Braham Eirsson: Ha! It can't get out! Hit it with all you've got!
- Braham Eirsson: Give it everything you've got!
- Kasmeer Meade: Hey! Perhaps this will help!
- Braham: Ignore the minions! Focus on the dragon's head!
- As the dragon breaks free
- Braham: The fires are out! Dragon's breaking free!
- When the boulder attack starts
- Rox: Hey, boss, watch the walls! Boulders incoming!
- As the dragon heads back underground (phase 2)
- Braham Eirsson: It's heading back underground!
- Braham Eirsson: Use the divine fire!
- Braham Eirsson: I'll shield you when I can!
- During the second time of phase 2
- Kasmeer Meade: I'm sensing something. The shadows are being drawn to the divine fire.
- Kasmeer Meade: The shadow extinquished the fire!
- At the start of the second time of phase 3
- Braham Eirsson: You weakened it. It's coming back out!
- Braham Eirsson: Give it everything you've got!
- Kasmeer Meade: Hey! Perhaps this will help!
- Braham Eirsson: Ignore the minions! Focus on the dragon'S head!
- As the dragon is almost defeated
- Kasmeer Meade: Its magic is weakened. I can portal us in! Hang on, boss!
- As the dragon is finished
- Rox: That was the same dragon that attacked the Grove. You brought it down for good.
- Braham Eirsson: You were amazing. And now Tyria has one less dragon minion to worry about. The perfect warm-up to take down Mordremoth.
- Kasmeer Meade: We won the battle, but we lost Caithe.
- Marjory Delaqua: She fled during the attack.
- Braham Eirsson: I've had it with her secrets. I know my mother trusts her, but I don't. She took the egg and we need to get it back.
- Kasmeer Meade: We're out of memory seeds. Her guild knows her better than anyone. Destiny's Edge may have an idea of where she's gone.
- Braham Eirsson: We should hurry back to Camp Resolve.
- Braham Eirsson: With everything we had to deal with here, the Pact Fleet may have already launched.
