You will meet High Abbot Kaoto, who will test you. You have to pass the recitation ritual that involves answering questions.
To unlock all the dialogue options, you will have to visit 3 locations first:
- Leave halls of Presence back to The Abbey of the Fallen Moon and use Ondra's Corridors (M8,3). Watch relief, and you will learn a part of Ondra's story.
- Enter Halls of Presence and talk to Baesca in Halls of the Fallen Moon (M9,2). Don't attack him.
- The last location is the Library. You can find it in the east (M9,5). Search the shelves for The Giftbearer's Pilgrimage, and read it.
Once you collect all the required pieces of information, get back to Kaoto (M9,4), and begin the ritual.
- The answer to his first question is: "I am Saman - the Flood";
- The answer to his second question is: "I give myself, for a Giftbearer has no other tokens to offer";
- The answer to his third question is: "I have none, for all that belongs to Ondra is forgotten".
