Flame IS phoenix's quantum-stored prior self, guardian against repeating ancient catastrophe. Players access temple's memory archives-show the phoenix's mistakes won't recur. When past-self judges conditions right, it surrenders into rebirth. Growth enables return.

Befriend the bumbling lab sprites-they've been feeding bees enchanted pollen! The bees now shimmer with protective magic. Players gather seven colors of wildflowers so sprites can brew a rainbow ward. The bees become the lab's cheerful guardians, immune and thriving.

They salvaged the 'crown' (scrap-metal water filter parts) from ruins days back. Memory-eating fungal bloom in that sector wiped the recall. Goblin King's settlement desperately needs it. Players retrace contaminated steps, piecing together what they forgot.
