Everlasting Echoback Song Walkthrough

1. Talk to Sorora

   For the first objective, "Talk to the mysterious painter.", talk to Sorora and agree to help him witness the Echobacks at night so he can recover his lost memories.

2. Strike all 13 Echonites at night

   For "Strike the echonite at night and discover the secret of the Echoback bones.", strike all 13 Echonites in order at night. The full route is covered below.

3. Gather the Whalesong Blossom

   For "A rare flower seems to have bloomed on the shore…", follow the marker down to the shore, find the glowing Whalesong Blossom, and interact with it to gather it.

   
4. Pick one of Sorora's paintings

   For "Ask Sorora if he finished his painting.", return to Sorora and talk to him. He asks you to pick one of his paintings, and finishing that conversation completes the quest.

About the Whalesong Blossom

The Whalesong Blossom's description reads "These flowers only bloom when they feel a sense of longing. Perfumer Elvira is looking for them to craft a legendary perfume."

How to Strike All 13 Echonites

There are 13 Echonites in total. Striking one sends a blue light trail toward the next, and you have to strike them in the exact order the trail shows.

1. Switch to night

   Open the menu and use the Day and Night feature to change the time to night. Echonites can only be struck at night.

2. Burn the thorns on the first Echonite

   The first Echonite is wrapped in thick thorn vines. Burn them away with your Fire-type Aniimo, then strike the Echonite. The on-screen hint reads "Try striking those blue crystals at night."

   
3. Follow the blue light trail

   After each strike, follow the blue light trail across the whale bones to the next Echonite and strike it.

   
4. Reach Echonites in hard spots

   Hit high-up Echonites with Aim skills or ranged attacks, break the boulders around rock-sealed ones, burn thorn-covered ones with Fire attacks, and climb the whale bones to reach the ones on top.

5. Strike the last Echonite

   Keep following the trail and striking each Echonite in turn. Striking the last one triggers a cutscene.

Which Painting to Choose

When you return to Sorora, he asks "Which one do you like better?" and offers two paintings: "Symphony of Reunion." and "Echoes of a Vigil."

You receive the painting you pick as a Quest Item. The choice only decides which painting you get: the quest rewards are the same either way. You can't change your pick after you confirm it, so choose the one you like.
