How to Complete Keeper of the Waves in Palia

To reach the Temple of Roots, we’ll first need to overcome three quests: the Keeper of Gales, Keeper of Waves, and Keeper of Flames. And this time, we’ll be quelling those waters. The quick list on completing the Keeper of Waves in Palia is below, and I’ll dive into more detail below.

  • Speak to Hekla in Kilima Village.
  • Go to Mirror Pond Ruins in Kilima Village.
  • Enter the Mysterious Tunnel.
  • Enter the code “ASTA” at the Mysterious Device.
  • Select and disengage Garden Lockdown Protocol.
  • Reap the rewards.

So, to jumpstart this quest, we’ll need to speak to those people who accompanied us to the Temples of Waves. That’s Jina and Hekla! Speak to Helka, who can usually be found following Jina around Kilima Village. They’ll likely be by Mirror Pond Ruins or at the library in town.

Once you’ve spoken to her, you’ll get a marker in Mirror Pond Ruins. This is by far the easiest overseer station to find. Just east of Mirror Pond is a ruin with a set of stairs. You’ll see a glowing tile on the stairs, and as you ascend, you’ll find a grate on the ground.

Inside, you’ll find yourself in a small room. There will be a robot in front of a pyramid called the Mysterious Device. We’ll need a password to give to it to access its menu. Fortunately, its password isn’t very far.

Simply look at the table to the left of it. On the table, you’ll find a note referring to someone named Asta. This is Hephaestus’ nickname. If you’ve completed the Keeper of Flames, you’ll know that the keeper of this flowstation and the keeper of the pyroflow station were dating but broke up. But, still, Asta remains our overflow station’s password. Tragic!

Anyway, speak to the Mysterious Device and select login. Then, input the code as follows:

  • 2: [A—]
  • 1: [-S–]
  • 1: [–T-]
  • 3: [—A]

Once you’ve logged in, you can read through the lore here by perusing Hephaestus’ message, or you can skip to the next step by selecting GARDEN LOCKDOWN PROTOCOL. Once you’ve selected the Garden Lockdown Protocol, select Disengage.

Doing so will conclude the Keeper of the Gales! And you’ll get 10 Renown. Now, all that’s left is the Keeper of Gales or Keeper of Flames!
