What the Journal Says
The game’s own text for this task. It is a running summary, not the full requirement — the conditions above are the ones that decide when the task appears and moves on.
There's an old stone tower near the farm. A cultist from my dreams was standing near it. Perhaps someone around town can tell me more about the structure, and how to get inside. I wonder where I could find someone knowledgeable..? Professor Dayton said that life energy can open the door to the stone shrine near the farm. He said to take a closer look at the markings on the door. The stone tower has some kind of counter carved into the door. According to Professor Dayton, growing crops and raising animals should weaken the seal. Maybe the counter will go down as the seal weakens..? Delve deeper into the Shrine of Xxarteck, uncovering its hidden secrets with the help of Prof. Dayton.
