Irai Ruins

An overview of Irai Ruins.

Description and Geography

Map of Irai Ruins.

The Irai Ruins lie in a remote section of Courcle. It is located at the foot of the Erkey Falls.

The only way to reach this area is to Raft down the waterfall. Players must purposefully go on the southern path of the river, then purposely steer away from the rafting dock (left) at Lappa Village. As the raft reaches the waterfall, a cutscene will play showing as the raft heads down the waterfall and breaks, and players find themselves on the shore close to the waterfall.

It is possible to fly over this area, however players cannot land into the ruins. Additionally, players within the area cannot fly.

There is a blasted Mana Tunnel here that can be used to leave Erkey Falls.

The Giant Alligator will spawn in this area.

History

Generation 7: Ancient Secrets of Irinid (Spoilers)

This part of the current article contains spoilers.

The altars in the area represent the Lightning, Sun, and Snow; the memories of the Ancient Natives, the Elves, and the Giants. After placing an Ancient Fragment on an altar, the past reveals how Dragons drove Elves into hiding, how they massacred the Giants, and how the Irinid was forced to seal them.

After viewing all three memories, a fourth segment shows that Iria will soon plunge into darkness.

The Saga: Iria (Spoilers)

This part of the current article contains spoilers.

The Irai ruins have become the refuge of the Courcle Shamans, and is where they train, away from the inhabitants of Cor village. Demote is its leader.

Generation 25: Eclipse (Part 2)

This part of the current article contains spoilers.

While the milletian dives into the past for clues about Pragarah, they catch a glimpse of Morgant, somewhere between the events of Chapter 1 and Generation 16, who has brought Triona to the Irai Ruins. It is from this location that he strikes a bargain with a god: In exchange for his everything, spare Triona the fate of the goddess, even if she is fated to die afterwards. This allowed for the fate of Macha to be transferred over to Millia.

As a result of this, Morgant since then became a puppet of the gods, and was used by Morrighan to enact the events of Generation 16.

Exploration and Artifacts

• Players used to require offering Three ancient artifacts on each pedestal to start Generation 7. With the Masterpiece Season 1 update, these cutscenes are now automatically provided to any player who has completed Generation 3.
• However, you are still able to offer the pieces to the altars.
  • 'Give' the artifacts to the corresponding pedestal like you would offer an item to an NPC. A cutscene will occur, and depending on the artifact, the weather (within the cutscene) will change. You will get access to the top of the corresponding ruin and view one of the Generation 7 introduction cutscenes.

Trivia

• Erkey Falls have also been called Iria Falls or Irai Falls
• Erkey is the Quechuan word Irqi, meaning Child.
• Irai may simply be the word Iria, similar to how Uladh has Ulaid Forest within it.
• It is the only area that is a "river" location for Metallurgy.
• The three ancient shrines in the Irai Ruins coincide with the magic elements; sun as fire, snow as ice, and lightning as itself.
• Despite Irai Ruins having become the Holy Land of Shamans for Generation 18, the ruins are normally empty and all instances of an inhabited Irai are Shadow Missions.
