The Song of the Dragon and Freedom Guide

To begin this quest, teleport to the designated area at the northern end of Nod-Krai that leads to the path toward Snezhnaya.
A cutscene will play in which Columbina bids farewell to Paimon and the Traveler, mentioning a message from Sandrone for them upon their arrival in Snezhnaya. Follow Paimon along the way and continue advancing alongside Paimon.

Paimon spotted a Polyabear. Take a photo of Paimon to commemorate spotting this unique creature. Use the camera to include both Paimon and the Polyabear in the frame.

As they reach the summit, a blizzard awaits them! Slowly make your way and follow Paimon's pace to find a place to hide, and attempt to cross the bridge to reach shelter.

After the short cutscene where Paimon and the Traveler got separated during the blizzard. Explore the cave and move forward to look for Paimon, as she might have landed in a different place.

Enter the train carriage and check out the strange device at the end. Interact with it to learn how to use the Eye of the Graeae.
Once you have obtained the Eye of the Graeae, you can use it to remove a Prime Ice Construct and gather its resources, which can also be used to build a unit.
| Walkthrough | |
|---|---|
| 1 | To exit the train carriage, remove the Prime Ice Construct by using the Eye of the Graeae and proceed until you reach the gate. Use the ice resources again to create a Prime Ice Construct that will make a small opening in the gate. |
| 2 | Once you enter the next area, gather all the Prime Ice Construct resources needed for construction later. |
Using the ice resource you've gathered, build a Prime Ice Construct beneath the broken platform to get the Construct Blueprint for the heat resource.
After that, go to the blocked area in the north side, and build a Basic Heat Source to melt the thick ice blocking your path.
After clearing the ice path, continue onward until you encounter another section of ice obstructing your way. Build another Basic Heat Source and pick it up as you move towards the outside area to melt the ice blocking the way

After leaving the area, the Eye of the Graeae will require you to collect the Kresnik Kristall, as it helps you maintain a hot body temperature and it is an important energy resource for it.

Head towards the house located at the north where Paimon may be located, as the Eye of the Graeae detects a presence inside.
Watch a cutscene where the Traveler meets the stranger who rescued Paimon from the blizzard. Paimon wakes up and learns about what happened, and despite her condition, she is eager to continue their journey.

As discussed earlier, go outside the house and equip the Eye of Graeae. Use it to call the train, triggering a cutscene that will take you to the next town.
