the burning man?

Post by probe53 »

some crazy man is inside a tube saying he is burning. He ask about if a dinjii can do something. he said its a statue. i found an air elemental statue but it does nothing to aid him...

...what the heck is it for then? or is it needed in a later part?

I thought the statue was to gain access to the air elemental area.

The Drugar area is opened by the golem.
Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds. The latter cannot understand it when a person does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses their intelligence.

The burning man asks for help, yes, but he is (they are) actually far from being able to be healed or helped in any way. Basically, he hints towards the existence of a place you might want to visit. And in order to get to that place you need the statue, which the man in the glass container mentions as well. Once there, there's nothing to relate back to the burning man. His role is to provide you with information, there's nothing else you can do for him than listen to his ramblings.
