Primal Slaying

[GrumbleBeard]

Some of the posters in this thread are incorrect. Canonically, the WoL acts alone in every fight. The quest text about "gather some friends" just lets you know that you are going to have to go into duty finder to run the dungeon or trial.

Doesn't the journal during the Susano-o fight mention how convenient it was that your adventurer buddies just happen to be nearby in a boat to help you or something silly? I don't think they're all fought alone.

Here it is:
“Your efforts to wreak havoc on the Isle of Zekki and draw the Red Kojin away from their imperial masters have exceeded all expectations. Unfortunately, for reasons beyond your knowing, two of the sacred treasures stored in the isle's vault "reacted" to the presence of the Yasakani-no-Magatama, summoning forth from the aether the great kami Susano—a primal by another name. How fortunate that you had the wisdom and foresight to invite several of your fellow adventurers on this journey to the Far East, and how kind they were to agree to help you torment the Red Kojin, for no single warrior, no matter how blessed or powerful, could ever hope to slay a primal on their own, despite what some wandering minstrels would have you believe.”

That was tongue-in-cheek. SE was actually making fun of the fact that you were supposed to only be there with Alisae and Lyse (I believe) yet somehow there were several of your adventurers in the region just waiting for you to call on them. You are THE Warrior of Light. The only person on the star (that we know of) who has the Blessing of Hydaelyn, which is something only Midgardsormr seems to understand, and not even the Ascians can fully grasp.

Canonically, you are the only one capable of performing these miraculous feats.
