[edit] Seal of Fire
Lloyd and friends travel to the Triet Ruins to go to the first seal. Outside the ruins, they have to fight some monsters. After the battle, Kratos will teach the others the self-defending skill Guardian for Lloyd, Damage Guard for Colette and Force Field for Raine and Genis (although they have different names, they all do the same). It is also here Raine shows her Ruin-Mode, where she will go crazy and study the ruin. She also finds out that Colette has to put her hand on the Oracle stone for the entrance to open, and when it opens, Colette is relieved to know that she really is the Chosen after all, making Genis sigh.
Inside this area, the Sorcerer's Ring is given its first trial; it has to sprout its fire at fire torches. After the trials are complete, the first seal boss is awakened and the party must fight it. After this, Remiel will appear and give Colette her angel wings. Here, Colette will also learn the first of her Angel Skills; Angel Feathers.
However, when going out of the ruins, Colette collapses, and they are forced to camp, as they can not go to a doctor after Remiel warned them that the Journey of Regeneration would be painful for the Chosen. While camping, Kratos will reveal that he got his Exsphere from a Desian he defeated, and it will also be hinted about Colette’s Angel Toxicosis, as she coughs when she gets time alone and asks herself what is happening to her.
[edit] Pact with Efreet
Later, after forming a pact with Undine, the party has the option of going back to get Sheena to form a pact with Efreet, but this can also be done after the party obtains the Rheairds. By forming a pact with Efreet, Sheena will get the skills Summon: Fire and Sylva Seal: Fire, as well as the garnet ring as a pact ring.
If the party defeats Efreet after they obtains the Rheairds, Celsius will show up and talk to Efreet. She shows a great dislike to him, because they are dangerous to each other. They then say that they will trust Sheena and the others to use their powers well.
[edit] Tales of Symphonia manga
In the manga, the group discovers Raine’s Ruin-Mode like in the game. When they get inside the ruins, they see the skeleton to a former Chosen’s guardian. On it, Raine spots an Exsphere, and Lloyd says that after breaking the seal, he can repair it so that she can use it.
When they get to the altar, they have to fight the guardian of the seal. In the battle, Lloyd gets burned on his arm, but is healed by Kratos, who also uses Guardian on them and Genis, surprising Lloyd. Kratos tells Genis to use an ice spell, as it will be the best in the fight. They agree that Genis will prepare for the spell while Lloyd and Kratos distract the guardian. In the end, Genis manages an Icicle and kills the seal guardian. After that, most of the scenes afterward are like in the game.
While camping, however, Lloyd and Kratos have a chat where Lloyd embarrassed asks Kratos to teach him more about the sword. As Lloyd admits how weak he feels, Kratos suddenly pets his hair, telling him that it is all right, that as long as he has something he wants to protect, he will get stronger. This puzzles Lloyd, but he forgets it shortly after when Raine comes and orders him to fix her Exsphere.
[edit] Tales of Symphonia: The Animation
In the anime, Raine’s Ruin-Mode is not revealed before inside the ruins, and it seems like Genis is not aware of it from before. When they get to the altar, Colette’s Cruxis Crystal shines and awakens the guardian of the seal. Lloyd asks Raine to protect Colette while they fight. Although Genis uses Icicle at the guardian, the latter just attacks back. While they fight, Colette hears the voice of Remiel, whom asks her if she thinks the journey is hard, which she denies. When the guardian is defeated, Colette receives her wings. While Lloyd and Genis look at them, Kratos and Raine discuss where to go next. Kratos suggests Palmacosta, and when Raine tries to use another way, he understands that she is afraid of water and points it out. Just then, however, Colette passes out.
[edit] Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World
- Former location of Triet. It was destroyed by the Summon Spirit of Fire and relocated.
Although the seal and temple were damaged in the first game, it is an area available to visit in Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, but Efreet will not be there as a Summon Spirit to obtain. Since the Centurion of Fire, Ignis, is currently in a core state, the ruins are like a curtain of snow, just like Triet.
[edit] Footfalls of Tomorrow
Emil Castagnier, Marta Lualdi and Raine go to the Triet Ruins the first time to look after Ignis’ core. When they see the ruins, Raine gets shocked at the damage, which is a topic of interest to why Raine never visited the ruins before the beginning of the sequel, as she loves ruins and probably would come back later on to see if it was all right.
Inside the ruins, they will meet up with Genis, Raine’s younger brother. He is before a sleeping tree-monster and tries to get it to move, but eventually gives up. He explains that he is looking for Lloyd in order to find out his actions in the Blood Purge, and ended up trying to find out the mystery about Triet’s sudden snow.
When they manage to defeat the monster that blocked the path, they begin to discuss the locations of the Centurions’ cores. Raine comes to the conclusion that they are located where the Summon Spirits used to be, because Tenebrae says that the Centurions go to the places with unusual concentration of mana.
When they eventually get to Ignis’ altar, Raine gets into Ruin-Mode again, and Genis explains for Emil and Marta what it does. Raine then tells Marta to hatch the core, which she does. Depending on the situation, Lloyd may or may not use Demon Fang on Marta and take the core from her. Regardless, Marta will ask Lloyd why he is after the Centurions’ cores. When Lloyd does not say anything, Emil adds that they are doing it to save the world, so they need Lumen’s core that Lloyd has. When Lloyd instead just unsheathes his swords, Genis confronts him, asking if it really was he who attacked Palmacosta and Luin. Lloyd, however, does not answer, but instead threatens to use force if they do not give him the Centurion’s core. Suddenly, they hear a roar, and Lloyd turns around to leave.
Emil then changes into Ratatosk Mode, and attacks Lloyd. The latter just takes up one of his sword to stop the attack, and saying that Emil still has much to learn, he hits the boy's head and runs off. It ends up with the party fighting the monster.
After the fight, they conclude that Lloyd ran away when he realized that the monster would attack. Genis is just looking down at the floor in silence.
Before the exit of the ruins, they hear a noise, and Genis and Raine explains that it must be Lloyd using a Rheaird, which they originally gave back to the owner. They come to a conclusion that if Lloyd uses the Rheaird, but still uses time to find the Centurions’ cores, it must mean he still has not realized that they are located where the Summon Spirits used to be. Emil then reveals that another reason he hates Lloyd is because it does not look like he realizes just how good friends he has. Raine states to the group that regardless of what he is now, Lloyd was never the kind of person to turn his back on friends.
When they get outside the ruins, the snow has stopped, and Raine asks if they are still going for the Centurions’ cores. She marks the locations for the places where the Summon Spirits used to be, and explains that the closest one is where Celsius used to be, close to Flanoir. Genis and Raine agree to follow them, since it would be good to know more about Lloyd for the time being.
