Crystal of Atlan‘s global release is finally out with a whole range of content for players to offer. The game offers you the chance to optimize and customize your character in a variety of builds – including tweaking their builds. But if you get tired of the grinding, the world itself is full of content to explore. This includes Episodes which serve as simple quests that reveal the lore of the game. One such episode is Thomas’ Episode, which can be confusing at times because of it’s puzzles. In this guide, we’ll show you how you can clear it. Let’s dive in!
Thomas’ Episode Guide
To clear Thomas’ Episode in Crystal of Atlan, you will need to complete 10 objectives. Additionally, you will also need to actually trigger the quest.
We recommend completing the entire quest because you will not only get rewards and milestones – but also access to loot.
Objective 1/10 – Talk To Nicole
Starting off, to trigger Thomas’ Episode, make your way to Oreton. You can fast travel there using the map.
When you arrive here, you’ll find yourself at the Oreton Campsite. Here, you want to talk to the Nicole NPC who can be found nearby. Talking to her will start the episode.
Objective 2/10 – Talk to Thomas
After talking to Nicole, you will need to talk to her uncle, Thomas as part of the first objective. Luckily, Thomas can be found right next to her in the campsite.
Talk to him and he will give you a clue about a peculiar stone gate that can be found in the Oreton Mines.
Objective 3/10 – Locate Peculiar Stone Gate
Once you’re done talking to Thomas, turn around and you should be able to see the Oreton Mines. Head inside and cross the threshold into the Mine Entrance.
Inside the Mine Entrance area, you want to head straight and turn to the right. Go to the back of the cave and you will be able to find the peculiar stone gate.
When you get near it, it will trigger a cutscene and complete the second objective.
Objective 4/10 – Solve The Puzzle
After finding the gate, your next objective is to open it by solving the puzzle nearby. The game tells you that you need to activate 8 steles which is likely a typo.
Instead, what you need to do is activate the four pillars that you can find either side of the elevator. Simply go up to them one by one and touch them to activate them. You do not need to activate them in any particular order.
Once you solve the puzzle, the stone gate will open. From here, go through the gate and open the chest inside.
After you open the chest and get the loot inside, turn back. You should find Thomas standing beside the elevator. Talk to him and this will start another cutscene, finishing the objective.
Objective 5/10 – Talk To Thomas Again
After talking to Thomas and finishing his cutscene, he will return to the Oreton Campsite. You will need to go there as well – either through the fast travel or going all the way back.
Once there, talk to him again and he will give you another task: going to the ruins.
Objective 6/10 – Navigate The Ruins
After talking to Thomas, you will need to go to the Ruins. To do that, return to the stone gate that you were at previously.
Once here, go or jump down the elevator that is in front of the gate.
Go further ahead and you will be able to enter the Ruins.
From here, go straight ahead and enter the Mine Ruins. Inside the Mine Ruins, you want to navigate all the way to the end. You will come across multiple enemies and challenges too. It’s up to you whether you want to explore the area or just run straight ahead.
When you finally reach the end, you will come across another stone gate with a chest in front of it. This will also trigger a small cutscene.
From here, you want to open the chest and get the loot inside. This will also give you access to the spare core you needed and complete the objective.
Objective 7/10 – Return To Thomas
Once you have the spare core, return to Thomas and he will be in his usual spot at the Oreton Campsite. Talk to him and this will start a cutscene where he successfully replicates the magical construct.
After that, he will give you yet another project to help complete.
Objective 8/10 – Talk To Research Pepps
To help Thomas complete the objective, you will need to find a scholar researching clocks. You can do this by first heading to Wonderland.
At Wonderland, make your way to the fountain that can be found near the first teleport. Here, you will find an NPC called Researcher Pepps.
Talk to him and this will start a cutscene. He will give you a clue that there is a secret hidden in the Wonderland Bell Tower.
Objective 9/10 – Go To Wonderland Bell Tower
Following up on the clue by Pepps, you will need to make your way to the Wonderland Bell Tower. To do this quickly, you can open the map and select Wonderland.
Here, you can teleport directly to the Wonderland Bell Tower.
When you arrive, open the map again and select the drop down menu at the top. Here, select the Bell Tower – Top Floor option.
Next, select the Bell Tower Top Floor teleport marker so that you can teleport here directly.
Once you arrive, go to the nearby boxes that you see. There will be a letter on top of the boxes. Interact with it and read the letter to complete the objective.
Objective 10/10 – Give Letter To Thomas
Once you have the letter, you will need to give it to Thomas. As always, you can find him by returning to Oreton Campsite in his usual spot. Interact with him to give him the letter.
This will start a cutscene when he reads the letter and concludes the episode!
That’s everything you need to know about completing Thomas’ Episode in Crystal of Atlan. Hopefully, this guide has made the steps easier, especially the clues that the game does not address directly. At the end, the game does say that the episode is to be continued… This means we might get more quests for Thomas in the future!
