At the gate, you meet Sergei, captain of the Platinum Knights. After some creative storytelling, they manage to pass through the checkpoint. Once you’re out of the cutscene, look up at the belfry above you for a Discovery Point and skit. Explore the area, and make sure to purchase a new map from the Turtlez in the southern part of town. You’ll be able to overhear news about the church making and selling Elixir, and news about Cardinal Forton and some shady church dealings. Head into the Sanctuary for an encounter with Sergei, who apparently wasn’t quite as gullible as he’d seemed.

Although Sergei is only a human, he’s quite skilled. He is able to use some powerful artes, including Lion’s Howl, Tornado Drive, Sonic Thrust, Sword Rain, and Dragon Swarm. His attacks are pretty fast, so if you’re not sure if you’ll have time to land a hit first, play it safe by guarding and then counterattacking. His powerful strokes leave him open to attack just after he extends his arm. If you’re having trouble breaking through his press of attacks, throw him off balance with Heavenly Torrent. While you don't have your seraphim to help you in this battle, remember that you still have your mystic arte and Blasts at your disposal.
After the battle, Sergei confirms his suspicions that Sorey is the Shepherd. Surprisingly, he asks for Sorey’s help. They are interrupted by the shady priest from earlier, and Sergei decides to move the conversation elsewhere. Head to the star in the southern part of town to discuss the matter further. Sergei asks for their aid in locating the old Pope, whom the Platinum Knights suspect was removed by Cardinal Forton. They agree to reconvene in Pendrago.
Across from the Sanctuary, a seraph stands with a purple star over his head. He asks Sorey to search for Sindra, the seraph that acts as the Lord of the Land in this area, and suspects that she may be near a subterranean lake in Cambria Caverns. This is the beginning of the "Rejuvenation of Lastonbell" Sub-Event.
Check out the inn, and activate the save point there. Upon returning to the town, if you sold Gramps’ Pipe in Ladylake, you can now buy it back from the old man standing across from the seraph beneath the belfry for 5000 gald. Head toward the West Gate for a short conversation with the Ayn twins about a potential new hideout: Malory, the Patinal Forest—this is the beginning of the "Scattered Bones Business" Sub-Event. Before leaving, you can speak to the soldier at the gate to start a side quest about three murders by a serial killer during moonlit nights—this is also part of the "Rejuvenation of Lastonbell" Sub-Event.
