Geardock is the eight major area in Western Grandis. While searching for a missing Gob, the Adversary and the Primacy discover his secret workshop deep beneath the Arcus desert, where the Ancient God Jupiter seeks to activate Gob's failed experiment, Kronos: a furnace that swallows gods. With Jupiter planning to sacrifice all the remaining gods and seize their power to destroy Gerand Darmoor, the player must uncover the secret of Kronos and stop Jupiter's misguided quest for vengeance.

This region can be accessed on foot via Railroad Way Station near Hotel Arcus. It is divided into three sections: Basement, Robot Depot, and Gob's Workshop, with each section being unlocked as you progress through the questline. Each section requires a certain amount of Sacred Power / Authentic Force to deal normal damage to the monsters here, with Basement requiring 740, Robot Depot requiring 770, and Gob's Workshop requiring 810. The Major Boss Jupiter can be fought here, and serves as the final boss for this area.

Completing the questline will reward the Medal Requiem of the Gods and the  Grand Sacred Symbol: Geardock. In addition, Daily Quests are unlocked, which grant additional Grand Sacred Symbols that can be used to upgrade your main symbol, as well as access to the Jupiter Boss Battle.

Defeating Jupiter allows players to obtain the following:

Night of Phantasms

For information on the full story, visit this page.

In Tallahart, the Adversary met with the Seekers, who had come to Tallahart after discovering a crystal ball in the desert which had begun to glow after the ancient city had been revived. In the city, the Seekers showed the crystal ball to the priest Aoe, who explained that it had once belonged to Luce, and that it was the counterpart to Noctis's crystal ball. After the Adversary filled the crystal ball with Noctis's power from the World Heart, the crystal ball created a powerful replica of an illusion that Noctis had once cast for Luce, filled with replicas of beautiful sights that the sisters had seen during their travels before the Ancient War. With the power of the illusion temporarily dispelling the vengeful spirits of Tallahart, the Seekers left to explore the city and search for ancient artifacts. Meanwhile, the Adversary began accessing the new records inside the crystal ball to see Noctis's memories:

  • In the first record, the Adversary witnessed Noctis creating the Night of Phantasms for Luce, who was sad that they were unable to leave the city with the Adversaries laying endless siege to Tallahart. However, Prague was resentful of Noctis for wasting her time on Luce instead of focusing on the war effort. After Prague informed Noctis that Jupiter wished to unite the Ancient Gods in an alliance against the Adversaries, he vowed to make Noctis pay for her arrogance.
  • In the second record, the Adversary witnessed a meeting arranged by Gob, which was attended by Enki, Noctis, Prague, Keira, Archelon, the winged god Garuda, and Gob's disciple, Melian. As Mitra refused to attend, Gob asked the gods who had gathered whether they wished to follow Jupiter's call. Noctis immediately refused, believing that she was powerful enough that she did not need to rely on anyone else's strength. Gob proposed the idea of negotiating with the Adversaries, though many of the gods believed that it was far too late to talk. Melian then proposed reviving Gob's failed experiment, though Gob immediately rejected her idea. When the gods were unable to come to a consensus, Garuda alone decided to seek out Jupiter, while the other gods decided to carry on however they wished.

After accessing the memories, the Adversary met with the Seeker Blanc, who gave them a crystal that she had discovered in the city. Upon melting the crystal in Tallahart's brazier, the Adversary heard echoes of various gods who had attended the Night of Phantasms:

  • In the first record, they overheard two small-winged gods who believed that Tallahart could no longer protect them, and so they had decided to leave for another land and seek out the protection of a large-winged god there.
  • In the second record, a forest god who ruled in Eastern Grandis told their friend about how they had once disguised themselves as a mortal and attended a festival in their own honor. Their friend was amused by the idea and wondered whether they, too, should walk amongst mortals as a wandering bard in order to survive the Ancient War.
  • In the third record, a black-fanged god believed the Adversaries to be nothing more than worthless nuisances, and that the Overseers' war was nothing more than a sideshow compared to the struggle between gods. They believed that once the Adversaries had been dealt with, they could finally face their true final enemy, Jupiter, and claim everything as the last one standing.
  • In the fourth record, a god complained to their friend about how their weapon, which had been crafted by the legendary blacksmith Erion, had broken far too easily, lamenting that they had wanted Erion to craft them a masterpiece like Azor. As Erion had gone into hiding because of the Adversaries, they resolved to seek out Erion and obtain a new, more powerful weapon before the Adversaries sealed Erion away.

Soon after, the Adversary accessed a new record in the crystal ball, in which they witnessed a wounded Prague after the fall of Tallahart, with the Adversaries having destroyed the city after the gods of Tallahart were unable to handle Noctis's power that they had stolen from her. At the battlefield, Gob met Prague and encountered an injured Jupiter, who decided to make his final stand against the Adversaries. Gob - having expelled Melian from his tutelage - left Prague to manage the counterattack on his own, while Jupiter wondered whether they could have won if the gods had united from the beginning like he had wanted. The Adversary then spoke to Aoe about Jupiter, who explained that before the Adversaries, the gods had once fought in endless conflict, known as the War of the Immortals. He told the Adversary that Jupiter had been a powerful god who commanded 30% of the surviving gods at the height of the war, though Jupiter and his followers had all been sealed away by the Adversaries. After learning that Jupiter was trying to make an alliance of gods in the present day, Aoe warned the Adversary to be wary of Jupiter and what he may be plotting. Some time later, Ailene and Kelly met with the Adversary and revealed that Gob had gone missing after Jupiter's call, having left to speak to someone. They also explained that Iker and Khafdi had left base to meet with an informant about the Apostles' movements, with the informant claiming to be a great monarch of some sort.

Soon after, the Shadowdealers Gen and Tara arrived in Tallahart to speak with the Adversary. Tara introduced herself as the new second-in-command of the Shadowdealer High Council, having replaced Mr. Hazard. She explained that Mr. Hazard had been gaining influence over several branches of the Shadowdealers and putting them under the High Flora's control in order to seize control of the entire organization. After Cadena had defeated him, Mr. Hazard had been incapacitated and banished as punishment, with the Council believing this to be far more humiliating than mere execution. Since that time, Tara had been working to flush out Hazard's rats from the organization, though several branches had broken from the Shadowdealers and openly served the High Flora. While investigating the High Flora, the Shadowdealers had learned that the High Flora were using the Shadowdealers' secret trade lanes across Central Grandis to transport a magical stone containing immense quantities of mana. Around these trade routes, entire towns' worth of people had vanished completely without a trace, particularly isolated Anima tribes and minor races. As the Shadowdealers were merchants, not soldiers, Tara asked the Adversary to help them with their investigation into the disappearances, explaining that the fact that many Apostles had also gone underground meant that something major was happening. With the Night of Phantasms slowly coming to an end, the Adversary worked with the Seekers to find a special crystal that unleashed a torrent of spectacular fireworks in order to end the night with a bang.

Geardock

For information on the full story, visit this page.

In Gob's old workshop, Geardock, Jupiter rallied together the remaining Ancient Gods whose power had not yet been stolen by Darmoor. Jupiter revealed that an Apostle had used the power of the gods to sever his right arm, which had been replaced with a mechanical prosthetic by Gob's old disciple, Melian. Believing Darmoor and his followers to be an affront to the glory of the gods, Jupiter asked the gods to lend their support to him so that he could get revenge on the Transcendent of Life. Elsewhere, Gob met with Melian in the Arcus desert, where Melian used her robots to capture Gob and take him to Jupiter. Meanwhile, Ailene and Kelly asked the Adversary to help them investigate a clue that they had found in the desert. They traveled to a remote part of Arcus, where Kelly activated a special machine that she believed Gob had made. This opened an enormous elevator shaft beneath the sands, which they took to enter Geardock. After learning that intruders had arrived in the facility, Jupiter instructed Melian to deal with them, for which Melian activated the security robots and ordered them to attack. While the Adversary and the Primacy fought the robots, Jupiter confronted a wounded Gob and asked him for his support in defeating Darmoor. Gob refused, claiming that the gods were destined to lose, and claimed that the Adversary of the new age would be the one to defeat Darmoor. Jupiter told Gob that he refused to believe that one servant of the Overseers would turn on another, but Gob revealed that the Adversary didn't serve the Overseers, and that they had already slain one fallen Transcendent. However, this merely made Jupiter believe that the Adversary was one more threat to the gods and resolved to destroy them as well. He then ordered Gob to activate Kronos, a furnace that used the divine Erdas of the gods as its fuel, though Gob refused, claiming that Kronos was useless without the Erda Condenser that he had built to work alongside it. Though Gob told Jupiter that he would never help him, Jupiter replied that Melian was already making the necessary preparations.

As the Adversary and the Primacy fought through the workshop, they encountered a small, spirit-like god named Tiny and one of Gob's machines, Securitron Z, escaping Geardock. Though Tiny initially believed them to be Jupiter's minions, he quickly stood down when the Adversary explained that they had come to help Gob. Tiny revealed that the Ancient Gods had gathered in Geardock to follow Jupiter, but when Ailene threatened him for answers, Tiny ordered Z to dispatch them. Z then activated Gob's war machines, which turned on both the Adversary's group and Tiny. As Tiny was a weak god, he was quickly overwhelmed by the machines until the Adversary rescued him. Grateful for their help, Tiny agreed to lead them to Kronos, where Gob was likely to be. While they recovered the keycard to Kronos, Tiny revealed that Jupiter had once been a noble god during the Ancient War until he had gone completely mad, which was why he alone had managed to escape. Just as he began to reveal Jupiter's true purpose in gathering the gods, Melian arrived to stop them. While Tiny and the Primacy held off Melian, the Adversary and Z pushed forward to Kronos. Z then revealed that during the Ancient War, Gob had worked with Melian to find a solution to the gods killing each other off. While the Erdas of mortals reincarnated in the Erda Flow, the Erdas of the gods would disappear from the universe upon their deaths. As the gods possessed enormous quantities of Erda, the disappearance of so much Erda would risk universal collapse, which Gob speculated to be the reason why the Overseers had wanted the Adversaries to seal the gods away in eternal slumber, rather than killing them outright.

In order to find a solution to the disappearing Erda, Gob had created the Erda Condenser to capture the Erdas of the gods as they died, and he had also created Kronos to process those Erdas to create a powerful god-like entity capable of stopping the Adversaries. However, Gob had been unable to find a way to capture the Erdas of the gods as they perished, for which he had abandoned the experiment. Despite this, Melian - who hated her fellow gods and their chaos - believed that only the most noble gods deserved to live, while the others should be killed. For this reason, Melian proposed sacrificing the gods directly into Kronos to capture their Erda, for which a horrified Gob expelled her from his tutelage. As the Adversary prepared to stop the fusion process, Jupiter - realizing that Gob still cared for Melian - threatened to sacrifice her to Kronos, just as he had already done with all the other gods except Tiny. When Gob reluctantly activated Kronos, Jupiter sacrificed Melian anyway, disdainfully telling Gob that he was a disgrace to the name of ‘god' by following someone else's will instead of his own. Jupiter then fused together with the god-like entity and fought the Adversary, who managed to defeat him. After Jupiter was defeated, the entity consumed him, leaving behind only his mechanical arm. Immediately, the World Heart attempted to absorb the entity, but Gob - realizing that the entity was too unstable - used the Erda Condenser to coagulate it into a purple crystal. In order to safely bring the crystal's power into the World Heart, Gob agreed to research a way to stabilize its energy. The Adversary then reported what had happened to Neinheart, who revealed that Darmoor had amassed an enormous amount of divine power, and that the Alliance would need to prepare in order to deal with what Darmoor would do next after he learned that that almost all the gods were now gone. Following this, the Adversary was able to craft the Grand Sacred Symbol of Geardock with the power of the Erdas, enhancing it beyond the limits of a normal Sacred Symbol with the power of the gods, which not only strengthened their resistance to Gerand Darmoor's magical aura, but granted them special blessings from the divine power.
