Chapter 325: Boss Geist

Refraction stared at Aldrich and Valera, and even under his golden helmet visor, it was easy to tell he was dumbfounded. "You two…are actually EAGER to fight that thing?"

"Yes!" shouted Valera as she started to take steps forward.

"The fighting is secondary," said Aldrich. "I enjoy it, but what I see is a massive opportunity for my new state."

In particular, the moment he saw that the boss geist could manipulate plant life was the moment he decided that he needed to raise this creature. He currently had an Arsellies Treeseed from the third trial quest.

It currently could not grow into a full Arsillow Tree without the 'divine blessing of growth' from an elven nature goddess. Normally, in game, Aldrich would have turned it into an item buff or an item, but he figured he could try to unlock its full lore potential.

Hiring nomads with chlorokinetic powers yielded no results, arguably because they were too weak.
