Original Sin Walkthrough | Echoes of Aincrad ( SAO EoA )

Original Sin Summary

The party comes back from meeting Kirito, lost on what to do next about the mandatory quest. A young woman named Stina approaches them, showing that she has the same brooch as you and Iori. She talks about how the brooch might be a high elven relic and might be connected to some ruins she found in the beta.

You and the party search for the ruins to investigate.

Original Sin Walkthrough

[1] Talk to Stina.

You return from the overworld, not knowing what to do next since no one has a lead on the mandatory quest or the brooches.

A girl calls out to the party, showing that she has the same brooch as you and Iori.

She introduces herself as Stina. Unlike you and Iori though, she didn't get the brooch through the Teardrop Cave. Rather, she simply found the brooch and it equipped itself onto her. She's been looking for information about the quest as well as she can't escape the nightmares it's been giving her.

She thinks it's a high elven relic, an old remain from the people of the past in this world.

Iori asks her how she knew about the high elves. Stina becomes hesitant to share information and Iori realizes that she was also a beta tester.

Stina relaxes. She says that she had found some High Elven ruins during the beta test, and despite the changes, she should be able to find it again. Maybe they will have a clue to the Swordsman quest.

The party asks Stina to lead the way to the ruins.

[2] Go to the Smithy.

While getting ready for the ruins, you and Iori meet at the Smithy.

Iori talks about how she finds both Diavel and Kirito very brave for stepping up in this kind of world and finds herself cowardly in comparison.

You disagree with her assessment of herself. She's flattered but she thinks she still has to do better.

[3] Find the High Elven Ruins.

Head up north to find the ruins that Stina described.

FIRST AREA: Planete Riverbank

SECOND AREA: Mangrove Path

THIRD AREA: Glade of Cleansing

Get ready for the boss fight.

[4] Defeat the Troll Leader.

The Troll Leader doesn't move so much so it's easy to get in several combos of attacks and Sword Skills to lower its HP. It has 2 phases.

[5] Activate the Warp Terminal at the High Elven Ruins.

Go north and into the underground. Eventually, the map will shift into the ruins. Find the Warp Terminal.

Stina expresses that she would like to ready herself by going back to town first before exploring further and Iori agrees.

Zash thinks that there's something shifty about Stina. He says he might be overthinking it but with the kind of world they are in now, it's best to watch their backs regardless.
