Pretty sure the weapon model that Ruilla uses here is the same as Atiesh... I imagine this is on purpose which leads to some interesting canon implications

Comment by TheBodhisattva

Okay, so there are some items that are only clickable during this quest - but once this quest is complete, is there a way to do it again if you missed clicking one of those items (which it turns out are needed for the Light In The Dark meta achievement)?

If you can't find enough objectives inside the cave there are more outside.

Comment by MrGiblets

Here are the scrolls and text, since they are easily missed. They’re all found in the nearby cave.

Scroll 1- Take left path down in cave and hug the left wall. Found by little bedroll and painted stone by the little pond.
Ways of the Roots--Part I: Serving
Serve the roots, and they will serve you.

Scroll 2- Keep going further into the cave and found on table by larger body of water.
Ways of the Roots-Part 2: Growing

Many of the roots, and the Cradle, were here long before the haranir. Many came later. Nordrassil, Shaladrassil. Teldrassil, and others were planted over countless ages by those on the surface, but the roots reached out to Harandar.

The roots speak their names in the languages of the surface folk who planted them. If the roots reach Harandar, we know Aln'hara blesses them and we welcome them to the great knot of Harandar.

They are tended and protected, but we cannot protect them from the dangers above. The people of that world do not always protect the trees they have planted. We heal what we can. The branches may burn, but the roots will thrive.

Scroll 3- Take right path in cave then in larger area, go west until the pit. Jump along right side, over the root and hug the right wall (or glide over if Demon Hunter or Dracthyr). If you fall, you end up near Scroll 2; hug left wall to go back up.
Ways of the Roots-Part 3: Pruning
If you listen to the roots, they will tell you of most threats but what of threats they do not recognize? If we prune roots they see as healthy, will we be forgiven? Will the roots trust us again?

Trick I found for the puzzle, was to follow and “overlap” the squiggly lines. If a squiggly line goes all the way across, it probably needs to go next to the one it’s connected with. The final result of each round is a triangle.

Comment by Ranadicus

Unlocking this quest required completing The Empty Cradle storyline up through The Root of Things.

Comment by JustAGirlTX

This puzzle was really hard for me for some reason. It's not particularly easy to see which way you are supposed to go. I followed the previous commentor's advice and looked at the "squiggly" lines and just switched those to try to form a triangle and that worked.

Did anyone else notice the Staff changes into Atiesh at the end of the quest? Is this a bug or really important lore?

Comment by Narthe

Anyone know the name of the song you hear when you retrieve the staff at the end of this quest ?

Comment by Vicioussekai

I think this got quietly fixed (finally). I was able to pick up this quest yesterday, without completing any additional pre-reqs (they are still bugged and unavailble)

Comment by DontPanic42

Is anyone else still having issues picking this up?

Comment by Gaara3San

If you are like me and not able to pickup up last two relics (Root of the World and Sky's Hope) for the achiev Legends Never Die.
You need to progress this quest line starting with the quest The Listener as much as you can. On the quest A Legend to Know you will unlock Root of the World and on The Empty Cradle you will unlock Sky's Hope.

Description

The Root of the World is the first gift of the land to the haranir, or so it has been said. We have forgotten much about how the staff came to be in the possession of my people. But the root of the story, if you will permit, begins at a time not long after the haranir first came to Harandar. I trust that together, we can uncover its lost past. It is known that Ruilla the Huntress was a pivotal figure in the events that led to the creation of the staff. Go and see history through her eyes.
