It is part of a Chain Fate, the first fate is "Run Like a Flame" lvl26. You actually have to speak to a Flame Scout to activate it and it becomes an escort mission back to Little Ala Mhigo. After a minute or two the Fate Taken should spawn. The reason i believe those two are linked is because after about 75% completion of the fate that same Flame Scout you escorted comes to help in the Fate and when complete has dialogue exchange with the hostages or people that were taken.

This did not work.

There are no pre-requisites to this quest. A group of NPCs will start a dialogue and the FATE begins.

The real problem is that this FATE takes about two hours to two and a half hours to spawn. I went to sleep with my laptop up and checked it every now and then in the middle of the night. I noticed this pattern and then I knew based on the time stamped dialogues that it was coming up soon. It did and I completed this FATE for my animus.

Hope this helps. Also, this FATE is completed very easily just by one person. So you have to keep your eyes open. I suggest just leaving the map up and/or standing in the area it starts. (18,20)

Good luck!

I really thought that it was it. sorry for the misinformation T-T must be some big RNG than....

"Taken" popped for me a few minutes after nobody started the "Run Like a Flame" FATE that starts when you talk to the Lv. 26 Flame Scout at X17/Y18. Not sure if it always happens, but that's how it happened for me.

Been waiting for three hours. Nothing has popped.

Ok it FINALLY popped. It is pure RNG. SE needs to fix some of these spawn times for fates.

very very long wait zzzz

2.5 hours? What game are you playing?

I did this FATE and it popped twice within 15 minutes of completing it the first time.

I even bothered to /shout that the FATE was up. No one came. So much for people complaining that it "doesn't occur often."

I've been here all night waiting. You probably just got lucky.

Been waiting for this for 6+ hours over 3 days and the only time it popped that I know of was when my guests were here for mothers-day.

This is complete B.S. SE
