 Before Hiʻiaka left for her quest, Pele (deity) gifted her with three tools to help her face the trials throughout the quest.The first gift was ʻAwihikalani (a critical eye), to help her to foretell the future encounters she would face, communicate with spirits, and grant her the ability to have supernatural knowledge.The second gift was called Ka lima ikaika o Kīlauea (the "strong arm" of Kilauea), to help her defeat her opponents in battle with super strength.
