Head southeast from Vedera Spring toward the mountains south of Tantari Woods. Follow the windchimes to the clearing, defeat the witch, then inspect the glyph; the fight alone does not complete the stone.

Approach and fight

  1. Use Focus to follow the chimes uphill. The articles describe lightning and burning trees near the approach; watch the route instead of assuming the map marker identifies the exact stone.
  2. At Witch of Barren Peaks, evade lightning rather than blocking it. Counter during pauses and avoid remaining beside her close-range burst.
  3. Search the defeated enemy. ATH lists Aether Flow Manual, Crimson Band and Aetheric Essence; these are separate from the Ravenous Flock Manual obtained at the glyph.

Finish the stone interaction

  1. Inspect the summit’s marked clues and bodies, then the uriashi glyph. Read the time prompt before confirming; the sources record two segments.
  2. Check that The Ritual closes and the Ravenous Flock Manual reaches inventory. Read it and use the ability checklist.

One article adds Loop of Vitality to the loot list; that extra reward remains unconfirmed. These are accounts from the same publisher, not independent gameplay verification. Fixed combat damage and a mandatory completion order are not established here.

If the quest does not close

Reopen the journal and separate the remaining stage from the fight you already won. If it still asks you to inspect the summit, sweep the marked bodies and clues in Focus; if it names the glyph, return to the carved stone and accept its displayed time cost. After the manual reaches inventory, read it before checking the Witchcraft tree, because collecting the scroll alone does not apply the upgrade.
