This attack also inflicts a high damage-over-time poison and should be removed immediately.<br /> * '''Manusya Blizzard III''': The boss will fire twelve narrow cones from the center of the boss's hitbox across the arena. Stand between the marked AoEs to avoid.<br /> * '''Manuysa Fire III''': A large donut AoE that can only be avoided by standing near the boss.<br /> * '''Manusya Thunder III''': The boss will fire several AoEs from the front, back, left, and right of its hitbox that move across the room to the edge of the arena. Move away from the boss or stand at a diagonal relative to the hitbox until the AoEs pass.<br /> * '''Manusya Bio III''': The boss will fire an AoE covering the entire room except the area between the boss and the nearest wall. Move to the unmarked side to avoid.<br /> The boss will also use singular versions of these spells as heavy-hitting attacks on the tank.<br /> The boss will also use '''Transmute''' versions of the spell, marking a location and firing an orb towards it. Once the orb reaches the marker, it will fire the Transmuted spell from that location. The first spell is always '''Transmute Blizzard III'''. Minduruva will also fire a '''Manusya Bio III''' at the same time, so stand on the safe side of the boss and between the cones fired from the spell marker.<br /> * '''Dhrupad''': Targets all non-tank players and inflicts them with a damage-over-time debuff. This will be used after every Transmute spell cast.<br /> The boss will then cast various spells while also Transmuting spells to markers. Make sure to watch what spell is being Transmuted and when it is going to fire and move accordingly. Repeat this until the boss is defeated.<br /> <br /> ===[[File:Aggressive difficulty r5.png|link=]] [[Sanduruva]]===<br /> * '''Isitva Siddhi''': Tankbuster.<br /> * '''Prapti Siddhi''': The boss fires a large line AoE at each player one at a time. Move out of the AoE marker to avoid.<br /> * '''Manusya Berserk''': Five orbs will appear around the room, and once the boss finishes casting, they will explode in very large AoE circles. If a player is hit by the explosion (and survives), they will take heavy damage and receive the '''Berserk''' debuff, losing control of their character and attacking the boss wildly, getting hit by the '''Prakamya Siddhi''' cast immediately afterwards by the boss. There will be a gap in the ring of orbs, move to the gap, and then ''all the way against the wall'' directly behind that gap to avoid the attack.<br /> * '''Prakamya Siddhi''': A point-blank AoE that deals heavy damage to any players hit. Move out to avoid.<br /> * '''Manusya Stop''': The boss will teleport to the center of the arena and cast this spell. Players will be afflicted by a debuff that freezing them in place upon expiration. Players will be frozen one at a time, in succession. Once a player is stopped, the boss will cast a an unavoidable '''Prapti Siddhi''' line attack on that player, after which the player is unfrozen. Players should spread out around the boss to avoid taking excess damage. Heal through each hit.<br /> * '''Manusya Confuse''': The boss will leap from the arena, then drop down with five orbs disguised as the boss. After a set amount of time, the orbs drop their disguise and explode very quickly thereafter, inflicting Berserk. Only one of the bosses is the real boss, and marks the safe zone in the room. Players can determine the real boss by looking to see which one is not performing an [[emote]] (DoTs and debuffs also persist on the real boss, but not the clones). Once the true boss has been determined, run to the wall behind it until after the explosion, exactly like with '''Manusya Berserk'''. These mechanics will repeat until the boss is defeated.<br /> <br /> ===[[File:Aggressive difficulty r6.png|link=]] Harbingers Elect: [[Cinduruva]]/[[The Magus Sisters]]===<br /> The fight will begin with only Cinduruva present, but the other bosses from earlier in the dungeon will soon join.<br /> * '''Samsara''': An unavoidable room-wide AoE attack. Mitigate and heal through.<br /> After the first attack, the other sisters will join and cast '''Delta Attack'''. Minduruva casts the actual spell, Sanduruva casts '''Manusya Faith''', buffing the attack and altering it slightly, as well as causing large line AoEs to fire across the room, and Cinduruva casts '''Manusya Reflect''' causing the spell to fire from the hitboxes of all three sisters. <br /> * '''Delta Attack''': This spell can be either a variant of '''Manusya Blizzard III''', '''Manusya Fire III''' or '''Manusya Thunder III'''. Which spell is coming out can be determined by the text box that appears on screen:<br /> ** '''&quot;Glacial ice, entomb our foes!&quot;''' - Blizzard III. Move between all the various firing narrow cone AoEs, making sure to also watch out for proximity markers that will drop large glaciers on the arena.<br /> ** '''&quot;Thunderous tempest, smite our foes!&quot;''' - Thunder III. Each boss will have the cross-pattern of Thunder AoEs firing from each of them. Be cautious, as the AoEs vary in size. Line AoEs will also fire across the arena, and a player will receive a stack marker that requires all players to stack to mitigate damage.<br /> ** '''&quot;Insatiable flame, consume our foes!&quot;''' - Fire III. Players will need to stand in two donut AoEs that appear in succession around the arena while also dodging massive line AoEs. The first donut safe zone is always the very center of the room, which will have a line AoE telegraph entirely cover it after the donut AoE goes off, so be ready to move. Players will also be marked with AoEs that will require them to spread out to avoid overlapping. Note that the player AoEs explode a few seconds ''after'' the second donut AoE, so stack in the safe zone, then spread immediately afterwards for the AoE markers.<br /> Between each Delta Attack, the bosses will use their various skills on the players. It is important to avoid any line AoEs from Sanduruva while also cleansing any debuffs from Minduruva, as Cinduruva will cast another Samsara and deal high damage. This sequence can lead to high damage, so be sure to mitigate and heal through as needed.<br /> <br /> '''Defeat Cinduruva first, as she will revive her fallen sisters.''' After Cinduruva falls, there will be no more Delta Attacks, and the bosses will simply use the mechanics they used between each Delta Attack. Defeat each boss to complete the dungeon.<br /> <br /> ==Loot==<br /> {{see also|Monstrorum Weapons|Manusya Armor|Manusya Accessories}}<br /> ===[[File:Silver Coffer (small).png|link=]]

Did they all leave...or did we already meet them?<br /> <br /> Alphinaud: To think that people actually volunteered their souls for these experiments...<br /> Alphinaud: Success was far from guaranteed, and even in the best case, they would cease to be men. Was their devotion to Zoraal Ja so absolute?<br /> <br /> Alisaie: It won't open, and I don't think it'll yield to our shoulders either. We'll have to do it the old-fashioned way and find the key.<br /> <br /> G'raha Tia: I wonder what Beq Lugg would make of this research into transferring souls.<br /> <br /> Krile: The researchers likely moved between the upper and lower levels. Perhaps we can find a key among their belongings.<br /> <br /> Wuk Lamat: It makes me angry to think about what they did here...<br /> <br /> ===Search for a way to the upper floor===<br /> System: A lift can be seen behind the wrought-iron gate. As sturdy as it appears, the gate will likely resist attempts to force it open. <br /> System: A security panel is nearby. Perhaps a verification key will open the way.<br /> <br /> ====Test Subject's Journal====<br /> Test Subject's Journal: ''They're recruiting volunteers for a new experiment. I know I'm not as bright as the others, but they wouldn't laugh at me if I was stronger than them. This might be my chance.''<br /> Test Subject's Journal: ''Soul transferred few days ago. I can write. Can write good, yes? I am good! Very good!''<br /> Test Subject's Journal: ''Getting hard to control strength. Today bit off hand of feeder. Cannot help it so strong.''<br /> Test Subject's Journal: ''Hungry. Always hungry. Cannot control. Eat. I must eat am eater must eat...''<br /> <br /> System: You find nothing that resembles a verification key. Perhaps you should search elsewhere.<br /> <br /> ====Mangled Corpse====<br /> System: A journal lies next to the body...<br /> <br /> Researcher's Journal: ''I was transferred to Yuweyawata station in order to train the villagers in the use of electrope technology.''<br /> Researcher's Journal: ''While a child can quickly learn to operate common contraptions, it will be no easy thing for them to attain the requisite skill to develop new weapons─ones which require no less than the manipulation of souls.''<br /> Researcher's Journal: ''Thankfully, two of my pupils have demonstrated great aptitude in the field: Kanilokka, the village chief, and Teeshal Ja, a field chirurgeon.''<br /> Researcher's Journal: ''Further driven by their loyalty to our king, their growth has been remarkable. I dare to hope that, before long, they will be able to carry out their duties without further instruction, and I may be relieved of my duty.''<br /> <br /> System: You find nothing that resembles a verification key. Perhaps you should search elsewhere.<br /> <br /> ====Open Cabinet====<br /> System: Supplies for the staff are neatly arranged within the cabinet. Among the various items is a manual outlining regulations and tranquilizing gas to be used in emergencies. You dig deeper...<br /> System: ...And find a verification key! Perhaps it can be used to open the iron gate.<br /> <br /> ===Access the security panel===<br /> Alisaie: You found the key? Great, I'll call the others.<br /> <br /> ===Cutscene===<br /> Alisaie: It seems the key can be used to operate the lift as well. Up we go.<br /> <br /> Wuk Lamat: So this is the observatory.<br /> Wuk Lamat: I didn't expect it to be similar, but this is a far cry from the temple that held Valigarmanda.<br /> <br /> G'raha Tia: All the machinery appears to still be in operation. I expect there are auxiliary systems in place to ensure that monitoring can continue even in emergencies.<br /> <br /> Krile: The warnings indicate various anomalies─related to the seal's failure, most likely. For a blessing, we managed to fell the beast before it could cause harm.<br /> <br /> Wuk Lamat: Right then, let's see if we can find some clues about Gulool Ja's mother.<br /> <br /> Gulool Ja: I think I can use this terminal. Shale taught me how.<br /> Gulool Ja: There's so much data... I don't what we should look at.<br /> <br /> G'raha Tia: Perhaps we can narrow down the search by inputting the name Teeshal Ja.<br /> <br /> Gulool Ja: Ah, it brought up a lot of results. They all seem to say the same thing...<br /> Gulool Ja: “Teeshal Ja, Administrator of Experimental Treatments: Research Logs.”<br /> Gulool Ja: This sounds good, doesn't it?<br /> <br /> Krile: Chances are the data is encrypted. And even if not, it will take considerable time to go through it all.<br /> <br /> Alphinaud: Then let us take it with us to the Backroom and have Shale analyze it.<br /> <br /> Krile: Agreed.<br /> <br /> Gulool Ja: Alright. I'll transfer it to this storage device I brought.<br /> Gulool Ja: There, it's finished!<br /> Gulool Ja: Thank you so much for bringing me all the way here, everyone!<br /> <br /> Wuk Lamat: If you're happy, then so am I. Besides, I was able to learn more about my brother as well. It was a fruitful adventure for the both of us.<br /> <br /> ===Optional Dialogue===<br /> Alisaie: I admit the tural vidraal gave me a fright at first. But then I remembered who felled the mighty Valigarmanda!<br /> <br /> Alphinaud: I'll not soon forget our visit to that facility. It was a troubling reminder of the depravity that can arise from the belief that souls are simply a resource to be exploited.<br /> <br /> Gulool Ja: Kiluwsa is really good at driving the hover cargo. I wonder if I can learn how to drive it too...<br /> <br /> Krile: I'm glad we could find what we sought in that abandoned facility.<br /> <br /> Wuk Lamat: It seems safe to say my brother returned to Yuweyawata for the tural vidraal. He wanted its power, no matter the cost...<br /> <br /> ===Speak with G'raha Tia===<br /> G'raha Tia: And here we are. The authorities will doubtless wish to be informed about the facility and its contents...<br /> G'raha Tia: But first things first: let us deliver the data to Shale.<br /> <br /> ===Optional Dialogue===<br /> Alisaie: From what I can see, things haven't changed much since the funeral. People are still listless like before.<br /> <br /> Krile: I've been thinking, it may behoove us to learn how to use the various devices found throughout Alexandria. Better late than never, after all.<br /> <br /> G'raha Tia: The data will be in good hands with Shale.<br /> <br /> Gulool Ja: It was Shale who gave me the storage device before we left. She said that we'd probably need it...and we did!<br /> <br /> Wuk Lamat: Gulool Ja had no trouble keeping up during the outing. He really is his father's son.<br /> <br /> Alphinaud: Having now spent some time in these harsh environs, I feel I have a better understanding of how much of a steadying presence Sphene was to her people.<br /> <br /> Geode: You've found information on Gulool Ja's mother? You lot never cease to amaze...<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Shale in the Backroom===<br /> Shale: Welcome back. Gulool Ja has already given me the storage device.<br /> Shale: There looks to be a wealth of data, all of which is encrypted, so I'll need time to process everything.<br /> <br /> Alphinaud: In that case, Alisaie and I might take ourselves around the city and check on the people.<br /> <br /> Alisaie: Aye, their mood has us a bit worried. I don't know if there's anything we can do to help, but we'll see...<br /> <br /> Shale: Understood. I'll let you know as soon as I've finished my work.<br /> <br /> Alisaie: Thank you. We'll see you again soon.<br /> <br /> ===Optional Dialogue===<br /> Krile: I suspect the Alexandrians' plight reminds Alphinaud and Alisaie of the Garleans'. Little wonder they feel compelled to assist in any way they can.<br /> <br /> G'raha Tia: I met some members of Oblivion on my way back here. They themselves were returning after having paid their respects to Sphene.<br /> <br /> Shale: Decrypting files isn't the hard part. It's when the number of digits in a password is unknown that the long nights begin...<br /> <br /> Gulool Ja: I'll stay here with Shale. There's a lot I can learn just from watching her.<br /> <br /> Wuk Lamat: I share our friends' concern. It's not surprising that the Alexandrians are having difficulty coping with their grief...but still...</div>

You will fight your way out of the Garlean imperial palace. Make sure to avoid the area of effect attacks from enemies, and press forward, following Gaius. Once you reach the large bridge, you will enter a small event where you are split up. Follow the path to the left through Imperial Way, through the Principle Dynamics until a cutscene shows. Here you will take on the volatile prototype, Arch Ultima. <br /> <br /> ===[[File:Aggressive difficulty r6.png|link=]] Volatile Prototype: [[Arch Ultima]]===<br /> <br /> '''1st Phase:'''<br /> <br /> You start with 5 options on the pet bar (and will also be on your primary action bar). Ala Morn is your main attack, and will restore some of your HP with each attack. Star Diver is an diving attack, with a relatively medium sized AoE attack. Horrid Roar is also another AoE attack. Drachenlance is a standard 500 damage attack.<br /> <br /> Firstly, continue to attack the Arch Ultima, and make sure to '''''always keep moving'''''. The column AoE attacks from Arch Ultima do not have a long cast time. It is recommended you maintain your position towards the flanks (sides) and rear. <br /> <br /> After a while, the Garlean scientists will appear and will channel new data to Arch Ultima. Use Horrid Roar get rid of them.<br /> <br /> '''2nd Phase:'''<br /> <br /> When the Lembus Praetorianus ADDs show up, use Horrid Roar to AOE them down, while also dodging the AoE from the Arch Ultima. These ADDs will drop circular AoES, following you. Once destroyed, continue to damage Arch Ultima. <br /> <br /> '''3rd and Final Phase:''' <br /> <br /> '''This phase is a DPS check''', so act accordingly. First, the Arch Ultima will spawn Ultima Bits. You must destroy one of these first to provide a spot to shelter, in order to avoid the radiating AoE from both Arch Ultima and the Ultima Bits. Once the first attack from Arch Ultima is cast and complete, you must go around to each Ultima Bit and destroy each one. Failure to do so will result in a wipe from the following Self-Destruct from each Ultima Bit. More Garlean scientists will appear on the bridge and you will have to AoE them down using Horrid Roar. <br /> <br /> Once you get the Arch Ultima down to less than 20%, use the Limit Break to finish the Arch Ultima off using Nidhogg's Fury. After that, the duty is complete.<br /> <br /> ==Steps==<br /> *Speak with the [[Crystal Exarch]] in [[the Ocular]].<br /> *Speak with [[Tataru]].<br /> *Speak with [[Tataru]] at [[the Rising Stones]].<br /> *Speak with [[Tataru]].<br /> <br /> ==Journal==<br /> * Alphinaud wears a satisfied smile, seemingly content with the state of Eulmore.<br /> <br /> * Eulmore is in Master Chai's capable hands, the future looks bright, and even the long-suffering Kai-Shirr seems to have found both a place and purpose. Yet there are still problems that remain to be solved, not least those of your fellow Scions. Alphinaud suggests returning to the Crystarium, hopeful that Beq Lugg has made headway in their research.<br /> <br /> * You arrive to discover that work on the white auracite has not gone as intended. In fact, your comrades have decided to pursue an alternative solution, having realized that their original plans would inevitably have broken the link between mind and soul. While they labor on, Y'shtola suggests you return to the Source and apprise Krile and the others of all that has transpired.<br /> <br /> * Back at the Rising Stones, Tataru greets your return with customary enthusiasm. Though she is eager to hear of your exploits in the First, she insists you wait for Krile, who is in the process of completing routine ministrations on your stricken comrades. No sooner have you told your tale than you are joined─to your considerable surprise─by the elusive Estinien, who brings troubling tidings from the Empire.<br /> <br /> * Estinien's account of his journey into imperial territory is interrupted when both you and Krile are overcome by the power of the Echo. In a series of visions from the dragoon's recent past, you bear witness to the murder of Emperor Varis; a grueling battle with Zenos himself; and an encounter with a mechanical monstrosity bearing a striking resemblance to the Ultima Weapon. When you eventually return to your senses, Estinien presses on with his report, concluding at length that the Empire poses no threat for the present, though it remains to be seen where Zenos will next resurface. His contract with Tataru thus fulfilled, your old friend gruffly takes his leave to the disappointment of all present.<br /> <br /> * Everyone else has resumed their work, leaving you the rare opportunity to enjoy a moment's respite. But can there ever truly be rest for the righteous? The presence of Zenos alone is proof that powerful forces are yet at play, waiting unseen to pounce on any weakness. Until they see fit to reveal themselves, however, you can do naught but steel yourself for what is to come. <br /> <br /> ==Dialogue==<br /> ===Quest Acceptance===<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Truly, to see Kai-Shirr thus inspired by our actions is inspiring in itself.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Yet however much I may wish to stay and see what comes of his efforts here in Eulmore, we have matters of our own to attend to. Come, we should return to the Crystal Tower. Mayhap Beq Lugg's studies have borne fruit in our absence.<br /> <br /> ====Optional dialogue in the Ocular====<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' 'Twould seem Alisaie has yet to return from the Inn at Journey's Head. I do hope she doesn't overtire herself...<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' I take it you are ready to resume our work?<br /> <br /> '''Urianger:''' My congratulations, [Forename]. Glad tidings from Eulmore did precede thy coming. I will see that Thancred and Ryne hear of these momentous events, that they too might take joy in that which thou hast helped to bring about.<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' In the course of preparing more auracite, we made a significant discovery. We thought it best to wait for your return before sharing our findings.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with the Crystal Exarch in the Ocular===<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Welcome back. We are given to understand a new mayor has taken office in Eulmore.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Indeed. Our good friend Master Chai was elected by popular vote, and─after some considerable soulsearching─chose to accept the post.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' It is a shame you weren't able to attend his inaugural speech. Though I have no doubt you will see more of him in the future.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' But tell me, how fared you in preparing the white auracite?<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Our work...did not proceed quite as expected.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' In your absence, we had a frank discussion on the principles of soul transference, and concluded at length that white auracite was ill-suited for our purposes.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' But Urianger─did you not say that, compared to the massy soul of an Ascian, the stone could house one of ours with ease?<br /> <br /> '''Urianger:''' That I did. And armed as we are with Beq Lugg's invaluable insight, 'twould indeed prove a trifling matter─were we to disregard the inviolable link 'twixt mind and soul...<br /> '''Urianger:''' ...A link which would─we did belatedly realize─be weakened most perilously in the process of rendering our souls dormant, as auracite doth require. Thus, the shedding of these fleshly simulacra, and the surfeit of aether which compriseth them, would in all likelihood deprive us of our psyches as well.<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' It would, theoretically, be possible to channel your ''minds'' into the auracite instead, but we would more than likely sacrifice your souls in the process.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Which is why we have abandoned that plan, and instead devoted our time to finding a means by which mind and soul might be transported together.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Then we are no closer to a solution than when we first began...<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' It is a vexing conundrum indeed. But one for which the Crystal Exarch has posited a most intriguing solution.<br /> <br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' When our discussions turned to the transference of memories and the psyche, I could not help but be reminded of a technique with which I have personal experience.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' [Forename], do you recall what we learned of my eyes from our encounter with Doga and Unei?<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' I speak of the Royal Eye of the Allagan imperial line, gifted to my forebears through the blood and memories of the ancient Allagans. It is by this gift that I am able to control the Crystal Tower.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' To explain─in the latter days of the Allagan Empire, the last of their kind devised a means to pass on their blood and memories to my forebears. It is through these gifts that I am able to control the Crystal Tower.<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' If we were to gain an understanding of the technology by which the Allagans were able to accomplish this transference, perhaps then we could keep mind and soul together.<br /> <br /> '''Urianger:''' Imagine, if you will, a device like unto a soul crystal, replete not only with our worldly memories, but also the bountiful energies of the soul.<br /> <br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' That is our current avenue of investigation. And we will follow it wheresoever it leads.<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' While we are thus engaged, I think it best that [Forename] return to the Source and inform Krile and the others of our findings.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Agreed. I imagine Tataru will be relieved to hear we've made progress of a sort.<br /> <br /> '''Urianger:''' Then I would beg leave to relay our findings unto Thancred and Ryne, and to assist where I may in their investigation of the Empty.<br /> <br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Yes, please do. Should we have need of your counsel we will not hesitate to summon you.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Give our regards to Tataru, won't you?<br /> <br /> ====Optional dialogue====<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' With the benefit of our combined knowledge, and the aid of the First's leading authority on soulcraft, we must surely be able to find a solution. Surely...<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' I pray the link to their bodies in your world will endure awhile longer. Should it fail, our efforts will be for naught.<br /> <br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Mark my words, [Forename]─we will unlock the secrets of the Allagan Eye, and see the others returned home.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' There was a time when I thought these eyes a curse, you know... But for what they have enabled me to do, and what they may yet make possible, I see now they are a blessing.<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Beq Lugg insists we resume our work forthwith, but I grow weary at the thought... &lt;sigh&gt; What I would not give for a cup of tea, and perhaps a vanilla tart.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Tataru===<br /> '''Tataru:''' [Forename]! You're back!<br /> '''Tataru:''' How did everything go in the First? Wait─don't tell me. Krile will be here shortly, and she'll want to hear too. She's just tending to the others. Their bodies, I mean. Gods, I don't think I'll ever get used to saying that... Anyway, you can tell us everything the moment she gets here!<br /> <br /> ====Cutscene====<br /> '''Krile:''' Sorry to keep you waiting.<br /> '''Krile:''' I have carried out the treatment as per Master Matoya's instructions. It should slow the destabilization of their corporeal aether quite significantly.<br /> '''Krile:''' But tell me, how fare our friends in the First?<br /> <br /> '''Tataru:''' So this Beq Lugg's the First's leading authority on soulcraft, are they? Sounds promising!<br /> <br /> '''Krile:''' And Urianger's proffered solution of white auracite is rather ingenious now that I think of it.<br /> '''Krile:''' Well, while they press on with their preparations, you may rest assured we will continue to do our part here.<br /> <br /> '''Estinien:''' Oh. You're back.<br /> '''Estinien:''' And none the worse for wear, I see.<br /> <br /> '''Tataru:''' Estinien! Oh, thank the gods. We've been worried sick! Did you lose your linkpearl or something!?<br /> <br /> '''Estinien:''' The situation in Garlemald has become more complicated. I was making my escape from the capital when I ran into one of yours─Riol. He thought it best we come straight here.<br /> <br /> '''Tataru:''' More complicated how?<br /> <br /> '''Estinien:''' Hm. Where to begin?<br /> '''Estinien:''' After entering the Empire via Radz-at-Han, I went about my mission of investigating Black Rose.<br /> '''Estinien:''' It was then, inside a provincial factory, that I encountered the one who styles himself Shadowhunter. Gaius Baelsar.<br /> '''Estinien:''' Our goals being apparently aligned, we joined forces and ventured on into the heart of the capital─to the very imperial palace itself.<br /> '''Estinien:''' There, we found a man whom all assumed dead.<br /> '''Estinien:''' But his soul lives on. And he has wrested back his flesh.<br /> '''Estinien:''' Zenos yae Galvus.<br /> '''Estinien:''' Nor did the surprises end there. For no sooner had we arrived than he murdered his sire in cold blood. The Emperor is dead. This sent Gaius into a rage, and he charged in, blade drawn...<br /> '''Estinien:''' What's wrong!?<br /> <br /> ====Echo flashback====<br /> '''Estinien:''' I've seen him in action. His body at least. You will not best him alone.<br /> <br /> '''Gauis:''' Nay...death will not come easily to that ''thing''. If you would join me, then by all means...<br /> <br /> '''Estinien:''' For what good it will do...<br /> <br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' The Black Wolf...and the Azure Dragoon. I suppose this might suffice.<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' Come, then.<br /> <br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' Ah, the simple pleasure of one's own flesh. Truly, there is no place like home.<br /> <br /> '''Gauis:''' Abomination...<br /> <br /> '''Estinien:''' Whatever he is, ''[Forename]'' was barely a match for him. If we stay here much longer─<br /> <br /> '''???:''' Emperor Varis! Your Radiance, are you all right!?<br /> <br /> '''Estinien:''' ...We may wear out our welcome.<br /> <br /> '''Julia:''' Your Radiance... No!<br /> <br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' &lt;sigh&gt; Must even the most middling of sport be spoiled? The world conspires to bore me.<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' But I have no cause to remain. I leave these vermin to you.<br /> <br /> '''Gauis:''' Zenos!!!<br /> <br /> '''Estinien:''' Well? Any bright ideas?<br /> <br /> '''Gauis:''' Just one.<br /> <br /> '''Julia:''' Gaaaaaah!<br /> <br /> '''Annia:''' Your Radiance...<br /> <br /> '''Julia:''' The intruders have taken flight. I repeat, the intruders have taken flight.<br /> Deploy all available magitek armor. We cannot let them escape!<br /> <br /> ===Solo Duty dialogue===<br /> ====Escape the imperial palace====<br /> '''Julia's Voice:''' Alert! Alert! Intruders detected in the Imperial Way! All available units, converge!<br /> <br /> '''Gauis Baelsar:''' It seems there is no turning back. We must force our way through.<br /> <br /> '''Centurio Praetorianus:''' The Black Wolf is among the intruders! Deploy magitek armor!<br /> <br /> '''Hoplomachus Praetorianus:''' There they are! Stop them!<br /> <br /> '''Gauis Baelsar:''' Let's keep moving.<br /> <br /> '''Estinien Wyrmblood:''' Ugh, there is no end to them...<br /> <br /> '''Julia quo Soranus:''' You won't escape, Gaius Baelsar!<br /> <br /> '''Annia quo Soranus:''' You will pay for your crimes, traitor!<br /> <br /> '''Gauis Baelsar:''' I was wondering when the imperial guard would appear... Focus on the magitek armor first!<br /> <br /> '''Julia quo Soranus:''' Annia─on my mark!<br /> <br /> '''Gauis Baelsar:''' I think not!<br /> <br /> '''Annia quo Soranus:''' Damn it...<br /> <br /> '''Gauis Baelsar:''' This way. Quickly!<br /> <br /> '''Gauis Baelsar:''' We make ourselves easy marks by moving together. I suggest we split up.<br /> <br /> '''Estinien Wyrmblood:''' All right, then. I'll take the low road, so to speak.<br /> <br /> '''Gauis Baelsar:''' I will see you outside. Stay safe.<br /> <br /> ====Cutscene====<br /> '''Estinien:''' Well, well... Someone's been busy.<br /> <br /> '''Estinien:''' And you would bar my way, would you? ...So be it.<br /> '''Estinien:''' Come, Nidhogg! Lend me your strength!<br /> <br /> ====Defeat Arch Ultima====<br /> '''Signifer Praetorianus:''' It seems we've been afforded an impromptu field test.<br /> Ready all battle data, and begin test sequence 2.0!<br /> <br /> '''Synthetic Auracite System:''' Initiating synthetic auracite system...<br /> All systems now fully functional!<br /> <br /> '''Signifer Praetorianus:''' We haven't much time! I said ready the battle data, damn you!<br /> <br /> '''Synthetic Auracite System:''' Now loading data sample XIV...<br /> <br /> '''Estinien Wyrmblood:''' If you would bar my way, then you will feel the fury of Nidhogg!<br /> <br /> '''Signifer Praetorianus:''' It's not working! Ready another sample─the one taken from Castrum Abania!<br /> <br /> '''Synthetic Auracite System:''' Now loading data sample XII...<br /> <br /> '''Signifer Praetorianus:''' Increase generator output to maximum! Activate the magitek field─full power!<br /> <br /> '''Signifer Praetorianus:''' It works, it works! Hahaha! Arch Ultima is unstoppable!<br /> <br /> '''Estinien Wyrmblood:''' Unstoppable? We shall see about that.<br /> '''Estinien Wyrmblood:''' Nidhogg! Show them your fury!<br /> <br /> '''Estinien:''' Garleans and their machina...<br /> Now...where are you, Gaius?<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Tataru at the Rising Stones (cont.)===<br /> ====Post-Echo flashback cutscene====<br /> '''Tataru:''' Are you all right!?<br /> <br /> '''Estinien:''' Peer into my past, did you?<br /> <br /> '''Krile:''' Well, I didn't quite relive the experience as you did, but I bore witness to it all.<br /> <br /> '''Estinien:''' I'm still not sure what I think of this gift of yours. But no matter.<br /> '''Estinien:''' Our confrontation was cut short when the imperial guard arrived. It was then that Zenos took his leave. Citing boredom.<br /> <br /> '''Krile:''' To think their research into the Echo could bear such fruit...<br /> '''Krile:''' Escaping death, jumping from one body to the next, and returning to his own after all this time... He is an Ascian in all but name.<br /> <br /> '''Estinien:''' It beggars belief, aye. But no more than a hero traversing the rift between worlds.<br /> '''Estinien:''' My concerns are far more prosaic. With the Emperor dead and the crown prince missing, the Empire is in disarray.<br /> '''Estinien:''' Until order is restored─assuming it even possible─we needn't fear an imperial reprisal. And for reasons of his own, Zenos took it upon himself to rid the world of Black Rose.<br /> '''Estinien:''' Riol has already gone to apprise the Alliance leaders of these developments. We may leave the matter in their hands for now.<br /> <br /> '''Krile:''' Then perhaps we have seen the last of the fighting at Ghimlyt. Though if it comes to civil war, I cannot help but fear for the provinces...<br /> '''Krile:''' Ah, I'd nearly forgotten to ask─what became of Gaius? Did he not escape with you?<br /> <br /> '''Estinien:''' That he did, but we parted ways shortly after leaving Garlemald. He claimed another threat had arisen which demanded his attention.<br /> '''Estinien:''' He didn't elaborate, but the absence of some device or other in the capital gave him reason to believe they're planning something.<br /> '''Estinien:''' Lest you worry, I believe he has well and truly shed the Black Wolf's pelt. Conquest is no longer his objective. We may safely leave him to his own devices.<br /> <br /> '''Tataru:''' Well, it's nice to have one less foe to worry about...even if we do have a mysterious new threat to look out for instead.<br /> '''Tataru:''' Speaking of which, I'll see that Riol and our shinobi are made aware. Though we still know next to nothing, it can't hurt to be vigilant.<br /> <br /> '''Estinien:''' Well then, with Black Rose nipped in the bud, I believe I've fulfilled my part of the bargain.<br /> <br /> '''Tataru:''' That's...true, buuut...with the Archons still slumbering away, we were hoping you might agree to stay with us for a little bit longer...<br /> <br /> '''Estinien:''' Sorry, but I'm not inclined to extend my contract. Gaius isn't the only one with business to attend to.<br /> <br /> '''Krile:''' Thank you for your help then, Estinien. I see why Alphinaud admires you so.<br /> <br /> '''Estinien:''' Farewell, my friend. See that you don't make a habit of dozing off in battle.<br /> <br /> '''Krile:''' Hmm. I suppose we should all be getting on, then. As ever, we will see to the Archons' needs. In the meantime, why not get some rest? You've more than earned it. Go on.<br /> <br /> ====Optional dialogue====<br /> '''Krile:''' Though they have yet to find a workable solution, Y'shtola and the others ''are'' making progress, and we cannot ask for more than that.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Tataru===<br /> '''Tataru:''' You must be shattered after all that hopping back and forth between worlds. Why not stay here and rest for a while? I'm sure Beq Lugg can manage without you. They've got enough Scions to help them, if you ask me!<br /> <br /> ====Cutscene====<br /> ''Meanwhile, in Garlemald...''<br /> <br /> '''3rd Legion Centurion:''' Traitors! You would dare deny Lord Nerva the throne!?<br /> '''3rd Legion Centurion:''' Aaah!<br /> <br /> '''1st Legion Centurion:''' Onward! Before this day is done, victory shall be ours!<br /> <br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' Boring, boring, boring...<br /> <br /> '''???:''' Do you think? I find it amusing. Like dogs herding cattle to the slaughterhouse.<br /> <br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' That hue. Your soul is... Who are you?<br /> <br /> '''White-robed Figure:''' Before your majesty, I am but another dog. Lost, in want of a new master. A hunting dog if you should wish it so.<br /> '''White-robed Figure:''' For I know full well the prey you would seek next.<br /> '''White-robed Figure:''' ...Zodiark.<br /> <br /> ====Cutscene 2====<br /> ''Meanwhile, in Eulmore in the First...''<br /> <br /> '''Begrimed Townsman:''' Did you hear? The mayor's reopening Daedalus Stoneworks, and they're looking for laborers!<br /> <br /> '''Tatty Townswoman:''' There's talk of resettling some of the old, abandoned villages too. They're even laying on free Talos to help anyone willing to make the move.<br /> <br /> '''Begrimed Townsman:''' ''Free Talos''? Hah! We'd best get packing.<br /> <br /> '''Tatty Townswoman:''' Steady work, board and lodging... If that's not a recipe for hope, I don't know what is.<br /> <br /> '''???:''' Hope...?<br /> '''Wayward Warrior:''' Yes.

I confess, I was not expecting your return to be quite so grand!<br /> '''Dulia-Chai:''' That dear, sweet man. He is going to make the most wonderful mayor. I just know it!<br /> <br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' Sorry I wasn't much help. Still, seeing Master Chai go after those Talos was something, eh? Inspiring stuff.<br /> <br /> '''Wrenden:''' There is no time to lose. We must begin making preparations for the inaugural address. Once Master Chai has caught his breath, of course.<br /> <br /> ===Quest Acceptance===<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' No need to fret, [Forename]. I have never felt better. &lt;cough&gt;<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' And not at all overawed by the prospect of addressing the assembled masses of Eulmore...<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' As for where to do it... If we're to accommodate everyone who might feasibly wish to attend, I suppose the only place large enough would be the Emergent.<br /> <br /> '''Wrenden:''' Then I will go and spread the word among the citizens─both free and bonded─that they are to assemble there to meet their new mayor.<br /> '''Wrenden:''' You there, uh...Kai-Shirr, was it? Would you go and inform the residents of Gatetown and the Derelicts?<br /> <br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' 'Course I will!<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Good lad. I will let the guards know not to bar the way to Vauthry's chambers.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' ...It goes without saying that I expect the Warrior of Darkness to attend─assuming [he/she]'s available? Might as well see it through to the bitter end, eh? The doorman at the Crown Lift will show you up.<br /> <br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' Don't worry, I'll make sure everyone's there for Master Chai's big speech. So get yourself down to the Emergent! Go on!<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Chadden===<br /> '''Chadden:''' Ah, yes. Master Chai told us to expect you. The Emergent is already filling up with people of all persuasions─free and bonded, citizens and non-citizens.<br /> '''Chadden:''' But for you, our guest of honor, we have reserved a place at the front. Right this way, [sir/miss].<br /> <br /> ====Cutscene====<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Ah, er... Ahem...<br /> <br /> '''Dulia-Chai:''' Go on, dear.<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Thank you all for gathering here today.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Before going any further─could I...could I ask the free citizens of Eulmore to look around?<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' 'Tis a sight none of us would ever have seen under Lord Vauthry's rule.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Not only do we stand in the familiar presence of those we once called the bonded...<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' ...But today we welcome the peoples of the Derelicts and Gatetown too.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Today we welcome the Warriors of Darkness, come to bear witness to Eulmore's new beginning.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' As you know, an election was recently held, at the end of which I had the honor of being chosen to succeed Lord Vauthry.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' You place great faith in me, and I promise to do my utmost to live up to your expectations. And I will seek always to carry out the duties of this office with integrity and fairness.<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Always, I say, but not forever. Let it be known that I do not intend to hold this post indefinitely. I consider myself but an acting mayor who will serve only for the interim, while Eulmore is reshaped according to a new set of values.<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' No longer can we think of ourselves as divided. As the free and the bonded. Citizens and non-citizens.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' The systems put in place by Lord Vauthry must be undone. But even as we tear down the old, we must give thought to the new. To what manner of nation Eulmore should become.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Whatever the answer may be, it cannot be decided by one man alone. And so I propose that an open forum be held, that we might all discuss how best to strive towards a better future.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' However, there can be no talk of the morrow unless we first address the issues of today.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Securing new sources of food, rebuilding relations with our neighbors, re-establishing industry─there is much and more that needs to be done.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Too much for a mere man of business. And so I pledge instead to do everything in my power to ensure our city's security and stability while we all work together to see these problems solved.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' The road before us will not be easy, and I know full well how daunting the prospect of honest labor may seem to some of you...<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' But we must accept the reality of our circumstances. We must move forward.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' This much we owe to ourselves, and to the brave heroes who risked their lives to bring back the night.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Once we have shored up our city's foundations, and regained some semblance of normality, let us reconvene to speak of the future.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Until then, I humbly ask that you lend me, and each other, your strength. For Eulmore!<br /> <br /> ====Optional dialogue====<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' The city of final pleasures, they used to call this place, back when the world was ending. But now...now I hope it will become the city of new endeavors.<br /> <br /> '''Dulia-Chai:''' Wasn't he simply wonderful? Seeing him take charge of the room as he did! Oh, it reminds me why I fell for him in the first place...<br /> <br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' Seeing everyone come together like that... &lt;sniff&gt; It was beautiful, that was.<br /> <br /> '''Wrenden:''' Now our work can begin in earnest. I very much look forward to seeing this Eulmore for the people.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Alphinaud (Cutscene)===<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' That was a fine speech, Master Chai. I believe your words stirred every soul in attendance.<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Stirred them to action, I hope. If I have learned anything from all of this, it is that change begins with the individual.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' 'Tis but a matter of finding the strength to take the first step.<br /> <br /> '''Wrenden:''' Assuming my fellow Eulmorans can, it shall be my honor and privilege to help them walk this road we have chosen.<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' But we must not forget the individuals who made all of these changes possible.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Were it within my power, I would carve a tribute to your heroism into the very stone upon which this city stands.<br /> <br /> '''Dulia-Chai:''' I hate to change the subject, darling...but now that you have officially taken office, have you given any thought to your mayoral seat...?<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' We will ''not'' be moving into the Emergent, dearest. It's too big, for one thing, and too far from the people for another. We will retain our current residence, and I will govern here in the Parlor.<br /> <br /> '''Dulia-Chai:''' Oh, I was hoping you'd say that! I much prefer the view from the Parlor.<br /> <br /> '''???:''' Beggin' your pardon, Master Chai... But have you got time for a word?<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Ah, y-yes. Yes of course, er...Hathen...bet?<br /> <br /> '''Hathenbet:''' Aye, that's me. I liked your speech. But there's folk outside these walls as don't even have enough food to last till tomorrow, and more who're countin' their crumbs. If ye've a plan to change that, I want to help set things in motion.<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Then we've much to discuss.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' No sooner do I take office than my work begins in earnest. Well, I suppose I brought it upon myself. Thank you again for your help, [Forename]. I hope to see you again before long.<br /> <br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' What a day... I dunno what it means exactly, but I do know I've got plenty to think about.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' I sense we all have a great deal to consider.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' I had resolved to remain here until such time as Eulmore's future was secured, but it is clear to me now that the city is in capable hands.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' I have every confidence they will find their way, and I believe it is time we went on ours.<br /> <br /> ====Optional dialogue====<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' With Master Chai at the helm, if only for the interim, I feel I can bid farewell to Eulmore, and return to the Source with no regrets.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Kai-Shirr===<br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' So Alphinaud's leaving too, is he? Seems like everyone's moving on. Everything's changing...<br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' I've been thinking about what ''I'' should do in all this. Like I told you, I spent most of my life dreaming about living here with my friends. In paradise.<br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' That paradise is gone, but something better's taken its place. And I reckon I want to be a part of it.<br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' This “Eulmore for the people” Master Chai's been going on about ain't gonna build itself, after all. Not that I'm much of a builder.<br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' Me and my friends'll find a way to make a difference, though─help keep things changing for the better.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' A far nobler dream than the one to which you clung before─and one I am happy to say we share. Whatever path you choose, I will pray for your success.<br /> <br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' Well, when you put it like that, there's no going back now, is there? We've got a few ideas on how we can do our bit. Just a matter of taking the first step!</div>

I confess I have never had cause to make the distinction.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' Did they just say what I think they said? Might there really be a way to help Halric and the others? And help ourselves in the process?<br /> <br /> '''Halric:''' ...&lt;mumble&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Quest Acceptance (Cutscene)===<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' I suspect the Crystal Exarch has told you of my past. That I was once a mage of the royal court of Voeburt, and that soulcraft was my field of study.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' The tonic you administered to the patients here is one of the fruits of my labors. I hoped to do great things for the kingdom...<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' &lt;sigh&gt; But in the end, my knowledge brought only suffering. A plague the like of which none had ever seen.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' In the hands of unscrupulous men, what should have been my greatest triumph instead became my greatest shame...<br /> <br /> '''&lt;What will you say?&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;You mustn't dwell in the past.&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;And now you have a chance to redeem yourself.&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;At least the Warriors of Light brought those responsible to justice.&gt;'''<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;You mustn't dwell in the past.&gt;'''''<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' I know that only too well. Alas, the knowledge we require is steeped in such bitter memories.<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;And now you have a chance to redeem yourself.&gt;'''''<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' That I do. A comforting thought indeed.<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;At least the Warriors of Light brought those responsible to justice.&gt;'''''<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Aye, that they did. I shudder to think what might have happened had they not.<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' But let us return to the task at hand─finding a means by which we might revitalize these people's incorporeal aether.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Do you think it can be done?<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Were the skies still ablaze with primordial Light, I would call it an exercise in futility. But now─now we may have a chance.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' The method I have in mind will entail the conjuring of a familiar. They are able to amplify the energies poured into them, making them the perfect conduit for the aether-revitalizing magicks we will ultimately employ.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' If you're about to launch into a lengthy explanation of the metaphysics of your plan─don't bother. I'd rather get on with doing whatever it is that needs to be done, if it's all the same to you.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Whatever reagents must be procured, or spells invoked─I'll do it.<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' ...I admire your spirit.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Very well. Your first task will be to gather the necessary materials.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' The purest of waters and finest of clays, as well as a fae lantern brimming with pixie magick.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' If you're ''convinced'' the resulting familiar could help the patients─fine.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Alphinaud─the water and clay will be simple enough, but I think you know what we'll have to do to get the lantern.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' You don't mean─<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' The pixies took quite a liking to us before. If we humor them with our company, I'm sure they'll be willing to help us.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' ...<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' ...''Fine''. We'll pay a visit to Il Mheg. Though I never thought ''you'' would be the one to suggest going back there.<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' I'm impressed you've been there at all, let alone befriended the fae folk.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Oh, while you're about it, seek out the Nu Mou of Pla Enni. They will be able to supply you with water suitable for our needs.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' Right. Let's get this over with, shall we.<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' There still remains the matter of the clay. Might I prevail upon you to find it?<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Beq Lugg===<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Clay from Amh Araeng would likely be best. Know you of anyone who might be able to assist us?<br /> <br /> '''&lt;What will you say?&gt;'''<br /> '''&amp;lt;I could ask the miners at Twine.&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;Well, there are the scavengers at Mord Souq.&gt;'''<br /> <br /> '''''&amp;lt;I could ask the miners at Twine.&gt;'''''<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Ah, yes! They will be able to point you in the right direction, I am sure.<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;Well, there are the scavengers at Mord Souq.&gt;'''''<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Scavengers, you say? Well...they may know the lie of the land, but I daresay they are more interested in the trinkets and baubles hiding in the earth than the earth itself. Now, miners on the other hand...<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' What's that? You know the miners of Twine? Perfect! Speak with them and you should have no trouble procuring what we need.<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' While you and the twins are occupied, I will see if there is aught else I can learn of the stagnation which afflicts the people here.<br /> <br /> ====Optional dialogue at the Inn at Journey's Head====<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' I have no doubt that the miners of Twine can help you find what we need. While you are away, I will do what I can to learn more about the nature of the patients' affliction.<br /> <br /> ====Optional dialogue in Twine====<br /> '''Jeryk:''' I can't stop thinking about that giant Talos we built. Can you imagine what it could do with a matching trolley? It feels like a waste ''not'' to build one.<br /> <br /> '''Magnus:''' &lt;sigh&gt; Sometimes I wish we'd never got that trolley running again. Now Jeryk wants ''more'' of the bloody things, and refuses to shut up about it.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Magnus (Cutscene)===<br /> '''Thaffe:''' [Forename]! Well, what a coincidence!<br /> <br /> '''Magnus:''' You've come at a good time. We've just this moment finished repairing the Talos and trolley you lot took to Nabaath Areng.<br /> <br /> '''Thaffe:''' The trolley was no trouble, but the Talos would have been another matter, had we not had a visit from Master Chai.<br /> '''Thaffe:''' He offered us a share of the leftover building materials from Daedalus Stoneworks, as well as a few trade secrets to help us along.<br /> <br /> '''Jeryk:''' Clever man, that Chai-Nuzz. He seemed pretty keen on the ideas I had for putting the giant Talos to work.<br /> '''Jeryk:''' Like a giant trolley! But Magnus still refuses to see all the good we could do with it...<br /> <br /> '''Magnus:''' You're entitled to your dreams, Jeryk, but that doesn't mean you can go harassing our guests with them. Master Chai was just being polite.<br /> <br /> '''Thaffe:''' And something tells me [Forename] here didn't come all this way to talk about trolleys. What is it you need, friend?<br /> '''Thaffe:''' I see. And this...familiar requires clay from Amh Araeng.<br /> <br /> '''Jeryk:''' Well, look no further. If anyone can find you some quality clay, it's us.<br /> <br /> '''Magnus:''' Saying that, it isn't exactly a commodity nowadays... But there must be some lurking somewhere or other, waiting to be dug up.<br /> <br /> '''Thaffe:''' If I'm not mistaken, there was a time when they used to take clay from Mount Biran Mines to make adobe bricks.<br /> '''Thaffe:''' Place is swarming with coyotes now, but if you're after the good stuff, you could do worse than to look there.<br /> <br /> ====Optional dialogue in Twine====<br /> '''Jeryk:''' I still say a trolley for that Talos is a good idea. You agree, don't you?<br /> <br /> '''Magnus:''' You'll want to be on your guard at the mines. Spend too long peering at the ground, and a coyote is sure to come and bite you on the arse.<br /> <br /> '''Thaffe:''' Stay safe out there. And remember: you don't need an excuse to come and visit us.<br /> <br /> ====Optional dialogue at the Inn at Journey's Head====<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' The pixies were constantly confusing me with Alisaie. In jest, I assume. I mean, it's not as if we look ''that'' much alike!<br /> We, uh...don't look that much alike, do we?<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' That had better be the only thing we need from the pixies. If I have to endure one more prank, so help me gods...<br /> <br /> ===Deliver the lumps of pristine clay to Beq Lugg===<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' The twins have returned, and in one piece at that. I was convinced the pixies would turn at least one of them into a garden ornament...but no.<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' ...You have the clay, I take it?<br /> '''&lt;Hand over the Pristine Clay&gt;'''<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Wonderful. We need but combine the clay and the water, then heat the mixture with the fae lantern. After that, it will be a simple matter of settling upon a suitable form, and performing the necessary incantation.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' Beq Lugg. I have a question. In the event that we had need of this spell and you weren't around, would it be possible for another to perform the incantation?<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Assuming they possessed the requisite skill, yes.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' Halric and the others have suffered so much, and I swore to do everything in my power to save them. If there is a chance this spell could do that, I would be the one to invoke it.<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' ...Hmmm. Mayhap you ''should'' be the one to do so.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' A deep understanding of the subjects' physical state, combined with a strong desire to help them, can drastically increase the magick's effect. And you are plainly more familiar with these people than I.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' I daresay there are few in all of Norvrandt more dedicated to finding a cure. Is that not so, [Forename]?<br /> <br /> '''&lt;What will you say?&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;Absolutely. She's the best woman for the job.&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;Very few. But if aught should go awry...I'll see what I can do.&gt;'''<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;Absolutely. She's the best woman for the job.&gt;'''''<br /> '''Alisaie:''' I'll give it my all. For Halric. For Tesleen...<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;Very few. But if aught should go awry...I'll see what I can do.&gt;'''''<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Is that a challenge? Well, I'll be damned if I let it come to that.<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Then we are all of a mind on the matter. Alisaie shall be the one to conjure the familiar.<br /> <br /> ====Cutscene====<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Let us begin.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' I trust you've prepared the clay?<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Very good. Now, I would have you sculpt for me...a porxie.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Plump, with floppy ears, and a short, curly tail.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' A porxie. I...think I know what you mean...<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' There we are. H-How's that?<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Well... It is certainly creative. There's no denying that.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' Yes, yes, I'm no artist. Very funny!<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Pay him no mind, child. Though it may look like a grotesque parody of reality, it is what the invoker believes that matters.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' You're not helping.<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' But I speak the truth. If successful, this incantation will turn imagination into reality.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Which is why the only thing of import is what you believe this figure embodies. You must focus. Hold the porxie's image steady in your mind's eye.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Now then, as I taught you. Relax, and allow your energies to flow.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' With flesh of clay I bid thee rise,<br /> On wings of dreams to touch the skies.<br /> What once was idle fantasy,<br /> I call forth to reality!<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Hmmm. Not bad for a first attempt.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Now, let us see what can be done for young Halric.<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Through the operation of the magicks you invoked to animate this familiar, it is now replete with the energies required to stir the boy's soul.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' You need but give it a name, and it will do as your heart desires.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' A name...<br /> '''Alisaie:''' All right, I've decided. Now...<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Go, Angelo!<br /> <br /> '''Halric:''' M... Mother... I...<br /> <br /> ====Optional dialogue====<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' By the Twelve! Though it was only for a moment, he spoke! There may yet be hope for these people!<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' The girl's resolve is quite impressive. One might almost think she drew strength from another...<br /> <br /> '''Halric:''' M... Mothe... Al...<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Alisaie (Cutscene)===<br /> '''Alisaie:''' How is he, Beq Lugg? Did it work?<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' I believe it did. You and your fledgling familiar have done well.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' If my eyes do not deceive, a hint of color has returned to his soul.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' Gods... I would jump for joy if I weren't so exhausted.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' We're so close now, Halric...<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' As you are even now in the process of discovering, this magick asks much of the invoker. What you may ''not'' have realized is that the same is also true of the subject. As such, we must proceed with caution. However, with further treatment, I have the utmost confidence the boy will make a full recovery.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Observing the reanimation of his stagnant soul has been most enlightening. I will need time to put my theories to the proof, but I believe I can fashion a spell to produce the opposite effect. That is, to ''induce'' stagnation.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Thus enabling our safe transport back to the Source via auracite!<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' A thought occurred to me─about this treatment.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Beq Lugg said when the soul is rendered dormant, the mind is separated from the body. That a person becomes incapable of interacting with the world around them.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Does that not sound a lot like some of the tempered back in the Source?<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Not really. It is the fate of most tempered to become slaves to primals─save in a handful of cases. Or am I missing something?<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' If I can master this technique─the art of revitalizing the soul─I know of at least one in the Source who could desperately use such treatment.<br /> <br /> '''&lt;What will you say?&gt;'''<br /> '''&amp;lt;I'm not sure I follow...&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;''Ga Bu''.&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;Do you really think it could work?&gt;'''<br /> <br /> '''''&amp;lt;I'm not sure I follow...&gt;'''''<br /> '''Alisaie:''' ''Ga Bu''. His condition is eerily similar to Halric and the others', the only difference being that his soul was suffused with earth-aspected aether from summoning Titan, rather than Light. It follows that if his soul is subject to a similar kind of stagnation, there may be a chance we can save him...right?<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;''Ga Bu''.&gt;'''''<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Exactly! His condition is uncannily similar to Halric's, is it not? The only difference being that his soul was suffused with earth-aspected aether instead of Light. It follows that if his soul is subject to a similar kind of stagnation, there may be a chance we can save him...right?<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;Do you really think it could work?&gt;'''''<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Why shouldn't it? Ga Bu's condition is virtually identical to Halric's, is it not? The only difference being that his soul was suffused with earth-aspected aether instead of Light. It follows that if his soul is subject to a similar kind of stagnation, there may be a chance we can save him.<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Forgive me, but who is this Ga Bu fellow of whom you speak?<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' ...I see. His condition does sound similar...yet there is much and more about the soul that remains unknown even to me. I say this not to discourage you, you understand, but to remind you that this is delicate work we do here. Work requiring ''patience''.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' Of course. And as long as there is hope for the patients here, I will devote whatever time is needed to see this through.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' But I refuse to spend that time in idleness. If it's all the same to you, I'd like to stay here with Angelo and continue with their treatment.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' The two of you should return to the Crystarium with Beq Lugg and see if you can't make some headway with their newly posited theories.<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' I would tell you to rest first, but I see you're not to be convinced. Ah, the fire of youth.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Let us return to the Crystarium, then.<br /> <br /> '''???:''' &gt;&gt; Finally! I've found you! &lt;&lt;<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Kai-Shirr!? What are you doing all the way out here?<br /> <br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' There's trouble back in Eulmore. Lady Chai's beside herself. Sighing, pacing, the whole lot. Near enough ''begged'' me to go and find you.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' ...Sighing ''and'' pacing, you say? It must be urgent.<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' I take it I will be returning to the Crystarium alone. Go on, then. It's not as if I have anything for you to do.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Thank you, Beq Lugg.<br /> <br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' Sorry for bothering you and all that, but she says the future of Eulmore's at stake.</div>

Though Alisaie seems unconvinced, Y'shtola concedes that besting the Nu Mou's familiars should serve to earn their attention. And so it is decided that you will enter through the front door, weapons in hand.<br /> ** ※To enlist your companion NPCs for this duty, speak with them near the entrance or access Duty Support via the main menu. Use the Duty Finder if you wish to complete the instance alongside fellow players.<br /> <br /> *You pass through winding corridors and courtyards lush with greenery, magical creatures attempting to bar your every step.

Nevertheless, its flame is soon snuffed out.<br /> <br /> *Sheathing your weapons, you find yourselves in the presence of Beq Lugg, the Exarch's promised master of soulcraft.

He confesses to feeling a slight pang of regret for his choice of words in persuading Beq Lugg, but quickly sets it aside, suggesting you hurry and join the others.<br /> <br /> ==Dialogue==<br /> ====Optional dialogue====<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' The Nu Mou seemed such a welcoming folk in Il Mheg. What do you suppose could have driven this one to a life of seclusion?<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' I'm sick and tired of the Exarch's attempts at ''selfless sacrifice''. If he suggests dying one more time, I swear I'm going to grant him his wish.<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' A mage of surpassing skill living a life of seclusion. Now where have I heard that before? One can only hope they are more receptive to unsolicited visitations.<br /> <br /> '''Urianger:''' 'Tis said the Kingdom of Voeburt was once home to the realm's greatest knights and magicks both.<br /> '''Urianger:''' To command a place at the royal court, the Nu Mou whom we seek must needs have been a mage among mages.<br /> <br /> ===Quest Acceptance===<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' The Grand Cosmos─that is, the palace we seek─stands on the opposite shore of the Source. I will arrange for a boat to carry us there.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Whilst thou journeyest thither, I think it best that I devote mine energies to the creation of white auracite─by thy leave, of course. The process requireth no small amount of time, and should the Nu Mou consent to lend us their aid, we will have need of a suitable vessel ere long.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Agreed. Then I would ask the rest of you to meet me in Sullen. And...do be prepared for a warm reception.<br /> <br /> ====Optional dialogue====<br /> '''Urianger:''' Pray join the others in Sullen. I shall turn my thoughts to the auracite, and apprise Thancred and Ryne of our progress.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' I was relieved to hear the Exarch intended to arrange for a boat to carry us across the lake. N-Not that I would be opposed to swimming, mind you.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' The Exarch said to prepare for a warm reception at the palace. Let's hope it's more cordial than his last visit.<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' He said the palace is on the opposite shore, but I see nothing on the horizon save empty sky. Curious...<br /> <br /> ===Speak with the Crystal Exarch in Sullen (cutscene)===<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' As I told you before, I had scarcely set foot on the palace grounds when I was set upon by our host's familiars, and I expect our reception today to be no different. Which is why I propose we march through the main gate, weapons drawn.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' I'm sorry, but are we not here to petition for assistance? You can't honestly think barging in looking for a fight is going to persuade them.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Actually, I believe the Exarch may have the right of it.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' They have no doubt poured a great deal of time and energy into their creations. Were I them, I should be most interested to meet with those who could overcome my defenses.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' As would any true seeker of knowledge. And there is little we can say or do to convince them to help us if we know nothing of their character, nor less why they chose to hide themself from the world.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' But if we can seize their interest, mayhap we can earn ourselves an audience.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Weapons drawn it is, then.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Though I must say, Exarch, you certainly seem to be enjoying all of this.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Do I? Well, I will not deny that I enjoy the thought of fighting alongside you all rather than pacing about inside the Crystal Tower.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' You ''both'' seem to be in rather high spirits, if you ask me. Not that I'm surprised. Your moods invariably improve when [Forename] is around.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Uh─ What exactly are you implying?<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' [He/She] averted a Calamity, and the Light which seemed destined to consume [him/her] has been extinguished. 'Tis only natural that we be pleased to see [him/her].<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Yes, well, you will have plenty of time to celebrate [his/her] good health ''after'' we've finished here.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' O-Of course. Then let us proceed to the palace.<br /> <br /> ====Optional dialogue====<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' How long has it been since we last went on such an expedition? I cannot help but be reminded of the ruins of Skalla...<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' I think we've done enough talking, don't you? We have a Nu Mou to impress.<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' I can but imagine what manner of beasts keep guard here. No doubt they will afford us scant opportunity to explore the palace. A pity...<br /> <br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' 'Tis good to be here with you for a change. Whatever you would have me do, you need but say the word.<br /> <br /> ===Enter the Grand Cosmos===<br /> ====Post Dungeon cutscene====<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' That was my fiercest familiar. Impressive...<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Beq Lugg. 'Tis good to see you again after all these years.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' And judging by your vigorous greeting, I daresay the feeling is mutual. To be sure, a simple ''shake'' of the hand would have sufficed by way of welcome, but I shan't complain.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' But you must be wondering as to the purpose of our visit. We come to ''beg'' your assistance in a most urgent matter.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' ...Sh-Shake? Beg?<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Our comrades' very souls are in danger. If we are to save them, we will need the benefit of your unsurpassed knowledge on the matter. Please, will you not ''sit'' and hear our plea?<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Oh... How dare you. How dare you speak thus in my presence.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' It was to escape such words of temptation that I hid myself from the world of men...<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' You are sinners one and all, and I swore never again to have any part in your affairs.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' I can only imagine what terrible events forced you into a life of seclusion...<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' But I know that the Nu Mou are a good and noble folk. It is not in your nature to turn a blind eye to the plight of those around you. And in treating with us, I am certain whatever mistrust you feel for man will begin to...''heel''.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Ahhh....<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' If you will not be satisfied... I suppose I could listen... After all, there's no harm in just─<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' No! No, no, no! I mustn't. Not again...<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' That damned court mage seemed to have the best of intentions too, and countless innocents died for my naivety!<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' You know not what you ask of me. What horrors my knowledge has wrought...<br /> <br /> '''&lt;What will you say?&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;Refuse all you want! We won't lie down and accept defeat!&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;We would never misuse it!&gt;'''<br /> '''(If the Shadowbringers Role Quests have been completed)'''<br /> '''&lt;You mean the magical plague of Voeburt?&gt;'''<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;We would never misuse it!&gt;'''''<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Of all the visitors I could possibly have... They're even more stubborn than I am...!<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;Refuse all you want! We won't lie down and accept defeat!&gt;'''''<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' You wish only to save your friends? Nothing more?<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Do you swear it?<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;You mean the magical plague of Voeburt?&gt;'''''<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' You know of the plague!?<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Then you know how dangerous soulcraft can be! Instead of saving your friends, you risk damning them. Are you sure you're willing to take that chance?<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Oh, very well...<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' I will hear your petition, but that is all! And I expect fitting payment for my troubles...<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Commensurate with your contribution to our cause. No more and no less, I promise you.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' With that settled─might I impose upon you to join us at the Crystarium? I'm afraid the nature of my friends' predicament calls for absolute secrecy.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Alphinaud===<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' There you are. The others have gone ahead to the Crystal Tower with Beq Lugg.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' For the record, I truly wish we hadn't had to resort to using such words when treating with them. I have ever sought to ''convince'', not compel. Yet I cannot deny that a part of me is glad Urianger shared his knowledge of the Nu Mou with us. Had he not, Beq Lugg wouldn't be here.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Speaking of whom─we should hurry. To keep our guest waiting would only add insult to injury.</div>

If Beq Lugg is to hear the truth of our travails in the First, you of all people should be present.<br /> <br /> ===Return to the Ocular at the Crystarium (cutscene)===<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' I'm sorry... You mean to tell me not only that the return of night was your doing...<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' ...But that you hail from another world as well!?<br /> <br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Everything we told you─of the Source, the shards, the seven Umbral Calamities─all of it is true.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' I realize how fantastical it sounds, and I would not blame you for doubting our testimony...<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' But given your expertise, you must surely have noted the peculiar nature of their souls.<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Any other time, and I would have dismissed your stories as balderdash and flummery. But upon closer inspection, 'tis plain their souls are far denser than is normal. And that they do not possess true bodies.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Save you. Your body is your own.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' And your soul is the densest of them all.<br /> <br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' As I said before, were it not for their heroism, the skies over Norvrandt would still be awash with Light, the realm yet at the mercy of Vauthry and the sin eaters.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' After all they have done for our home, seeing them safely back to their own seems the very least we can do.<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Your tale is intriguing. Yes, very intriguing indeed. Simply to hear it is fitting payment in itself.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' As for your friends...I can but agree. Their valorous deeds on behalf of Norvrandt are deserving of recognition. Of their own fitting payment.<br /> <br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' You will help us, then?<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' I will. I would see my knowledge put to good use for a change.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' I do have one condition, however. I am not the spry young Nu Mou I once was. As such, I will require assistance in my fieldwork and testing.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' It would be our pleasure. We will be laboring for our own benefit, after all.<br /> <br /> ====Optional dialogue====<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Beq Lugg has a fine eye. Though we have yet to begin, I rather think the Exarch was right to call on them.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' I sometimes forget we're not truly here in the First. It will be good to be whole again...<br /> <br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Fortunately for us, Beq Lugg is of a mind to see you and your fellow Scions justly compensated for your efforts.<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Did you happen to notice the magicked brooms strewn about the Grand Cosmos? Uncanny.<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Speak with Beq Lugg (cutscene)===<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' You have spun quite a tale. But tell me─have you given any thought as to how you might return to your world?<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' ...White auracite, you say? An intriguing proposition.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' But one which fails to account for the present state of your souls.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' They have become highly charged, likely as a consequence of having maintained tangible forms for so long. In such an energetic, unstable state, there is no telling what may happen to their souls within the auracite. They could very well become immutable to transference, never to be restored to their bodies.<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Then...would it be possible to force our souls into a state of dormancy, prior to transference?<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' In theory, yes. But the soul is not a candle to be snuffed out and relit on a whim.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' Well, that sounds ominous. What exactly would rendering our souls dormant entail?<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' In order to maintain a corporeal form, your souls constantly draw aether from your surroundings. This process must be halted, and the resulting surfeit of aether removed.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Your minds would ultimately be separated from these faux bodies of yours, rendering you incapable of interacting with the world around you. A cruel fate under normal circumstances, but one which will be rectified upon your return home.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' Leaving lifeless husks... Like those poor souls at the Inn at Journey's Head─corrupted by the sin eaters, their aether made stagnant by the Light.<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Corrupted? Stagnant...?<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Might I see these unfortunate individuals?<br /> <br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Why? Do you think you might be able to help them?<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' I might...or I might not. But I shan't know for sure until I have seen their condition firsthand.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' Then I would be glad to take you to them...on the understanding that you won't do anything which might increase their suffering.<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' It was my faith in man I lost, not my compassion.<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Well, I see no need for all of us to accompany you. While you escort our guest to the Inn, I will assist Urianger in creating the requisite auracite.<br /> <br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' I believe my talents would be better applied to that endeavor as well. Might I leave the three of you to assist Beq Lugg as necessary?<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Let us make for Amh Araeng, then.<br /> <br /> ====Optional dialogue in the Ocular====<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Urianger is more than capable of creating the auracite on his own, but if aught should go awry, I would be on hand to assist him.<br /> <br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' It pains me that there are those who yet suffer despite our victory over the Light. We must hope a way can be found to help both them and our friends.<br /> <br /> ====Optional dialogue at the Inn at Journey's Head====<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Beq Lugg told me they wished to meet the worst afflicted. Halric... &lt;sigh&gt; There are times when I swear there's something he wants to tell me, if only he could form the words.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Having broken Light's stranglehold on the First, I would like to believe they will one day recover. Yet I fear that day may not come soon...<br /> <br /> '''Halric:''' &lt;mumble&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Beq Lugg at the Inn at Journey's Head (cutscene)===<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' So this is Halric, is it? ...Yes, his aetheric balance leans perilously toward the Light.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Toward stasis...<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' What do you suppose will happen to him?<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Not too bright, are you, boy? The same as all poor souls corrupted by the Light─he will become a sin eater.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' You don't know that. We've defeated the Wardens and banished the Light from the night sky. Halric was completely unresponsive before, but now...<br /> <br /> '''Halric:''' ...&lt;mumble&gt;<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Then perhaps there is yet hope. Hmmm...<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' If I may, there is a treatment I wish to administer to the patients.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' What sort of treatment?<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' In the course of my studies of the soul, I once created a tonic which could temporarily stimulate the aether in one's body. After some refinement, it came to be used by the knights of Voeburt.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Then for far darker purposes...<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Lest it fall into the wrong hands, I swore never again to make it. But for their sakes, I will break that oath.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' It is not like to reverse the stagnation, mind you, but it should offer some measure of relief.<br /> <br /> ====Optional dialogue====<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Please let this work...<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Leave this one to me, [Forename].<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Come. Let us see what effect my tonic will have on their aether, if any.<br /> <br /> ===Treat the patients with soul tonic===<br /> '''Todden:''' ...<br /> '''''Todden stares blankly at you. It would seem the tonic has had no effect.'''''<br /> <br /> '''Pawnil:''' ...Hm? What is this...''warmth'' I feel in my chest?<br /> <br /> '''Voyne:''' I...I feel...''warm''! And my legs, they...they don't feel as heavy...<br /> <br /> ====Optional dialogue====<br /> '''Todden:''' ...<br /> '''''Todden stares blankly at you. It would seem the tonic has had no effect.'''''<br /> <br /> '''Pawnil:''' Strange... Is it me, or is it suddenly warmer? It feels rather nice.<br /> <br /> '''Voyne:''' Well, fancy that... My hands don't feel quite so stiff. Thank you, [sir/miss].<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Beq Lugg (cutscene)===<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Now then, have you noted any change in the patients?<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' A notable rise in body temperature and increased motor function. In most of the patients, at least.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' The more severely afflicted show no response.<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' As I feared, then.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' 'Tis true that with the restoration of night, the corrupting influence of Light will no longer grow. And yes, their bodies will naturally return to equilibrium given time...<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' But this holds true only for their corporeal aether. Their ''incorporeal'' aether─that of the soul─is not so easily mended.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Which is why those in the later stages of corruption─like Halric─appear unaffected by your tonic.<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Precisely.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' The boy's soul is too far gone, his mind held together by the finest of threads.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' There is a ''chance'' he may one day recover, of course, but it could take years─decades, even.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' By the gods, he could wake to find himself an old man.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' A fine reward for his persistence... The opportunity to mourn the life he never had a chance to live.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' No, there must be something we can do.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Look, I realize this is not why we petitioned your aid, but do you think it possible we can find a way to hasten their recovery?<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' ...Maybe.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Nor do I think it ''impossible'' that in treating them, we might learn something of relevance to your own predicament...</div>

He confesses to feeling a slight pang of regret for his choice of words in persuading Beq Lugg, but quickly sets it aside, suggesting you hurry and join the others.<br /> <br /> ==Dialogue==<br /> ===Quest Acceptance===<br /> (Optional)<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' The Nu Mou seemed such a welcoming folk in Il Mheg. What do you suppose could have driven this one to a life of seclusion?<br /> <br /> (Optional)<br /> '''Alisaie:''' I'm sick and tired of the Exarch's attempts at ''selfless sacrifice''. If he suggests dying one more time, I swear I'm going to grant him his wish.<br /> <br /> (Optional)<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' A mage of surpassing skill living a life of seclusion. Now where have I heard that before? One can only hope they are more receptive to unsolicited visitations.<br /> <br /> (Optional)<br /> '''Urianger:''' 'Tis said the Kingdom of Voeburt was once home to the realm's greatest knights and magicks both.<br /> '''Urianger:''' To command a place at the royal court, the Nu Mou whom we seek must needs have been a mage among mages.<br /> <br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' The Grand Cosmos─that is, the palace we seek─stands on the opposite shore of the Source. I will arrange for a boat to carry us there.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Whilst thou journeyest thither, I think it best that I devote mine energies to the creation of white auracite─by thy leave, of course. The process requireth no small amount of time, and should the Nu Mou consent to lend us their aid, we will have need of a suitable vessel ere long.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Agreed. Then I would ask the rest of you to meet me in Sullen. And...do be prepared for a warm reception.<br /> <br /> ====Optional dialogue====<br /> '''Urianger:''' Pray join the others in Sullen. I shall turn my thoughts to the auracite, and apprise Thancred and Ryne of our progress.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' I was relieved to hear the Exarch intended to arrange for a boat to carry us across the lake. N-Not that I would be opposed to swimming, mind you.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' The Exarch said to prepare for a warm reception at the palace. Let's hope it's more cordial than his last visit.<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' He said the palace is on the opposite shore, but I see nothing on the horizon save empty sky. Curious...<br /> <br /> ===Speak with the Crystal Exarch in Sullen (cutscene)===<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' As I told you before, I had scarcely set foot on the palace grounds when I was set upon by our host's familiars, and I expect our reception today to be no different. Which is why I propose we march through the main gate, weapons drawn.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' I'm sorry, but are we not here to petition for assistance? You can't honestly think barging in looking for a fight is going to persuade them.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Actually, I believe the Exarch may have the right of it.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' They have no doubt poured a great deal of time and energy into their creations. Were I them, I should be most interested to meet with those who could overcome my defenses.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' As would any true seeker of knowledge. And there is little we can say or do to convince them to help us if we know nothing of their character, nor less why they chose to hide themself from the world.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' But if we can seize their interest, mayhap we can earn ourselves an audience.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Weapons drawn it is, then.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Though I must say, Exarch, you certainly seem to be enjoying all of this.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Do I? Well, I will not deny that I enjoy the thought of fighting alongside you all rather than pacing about inside the Crystal Tower.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' You ''both'' seem to be in rather high spirits, if you ask me. Not that I'm surprised. Your moods invariably improve when [Forename] is around.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Uh─ What exactly are you implying?<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' [He/She] averted a Calamity, and the Light which seemed destined to consume [him/her] has been extinguished. 'Tis only natural that we be pleased to see [him/her].<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Yes, well, you will have plenty of time to celebrate [his/her] good health ''after'' we've finished here.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' O-Of course. Then let us proceed to the palace.<br /> <br /> ====Optional dialogue====<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' How long has it been since we last went on such an expedition? I cannot help but be reminded of the ruins of Skalla...<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' I think we've done enough talking, don't you? We have a Nu Mou to impress.<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' I can but imagine what manner of beasts keep guard here. No doubt they will afford us scant opportunity to explore the palace. A pity...<br /> <br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' 'Tis good to be here with you for a change. Whatever you would have me do, you need but say the word.<br /> <br /> ===Enter the Grand Cosmos===<br /> ====Post Dungeon cutscene====<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' That was my fiercest familiar. Impressive...<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Beq Lugg. 'Tis good to see you again after all these years.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' And judging by your vigorous greeting, I daresay the feeling is mutual. To be sure, a simple ''shake'' of the hand would have sufficed by way of welcome, but I shan't complain.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' But you must be wondering as to the purpose of our visit. We come to ''beg'' your assistance in a most urgent matter.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' ...Sh-Shake? Beg?<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Our comrades' very souls are in danger. If we are to save them, we will need the benefit of your unsurpassed knowledge on the matter. Please, will you not ''sit'' and hear our plea?<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Oh... How dare you. How dare you speak thus in my presence.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' It was to escape such words of temptation that I hid myself from the world of men...<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' You are sinners one and all, and I swore never again to have any part in your affairs.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' I can only imagine what terrible events forced you into a life of seclusion...<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' But I know that the Nu Mou are a good and noble folk. It is not in your nature to turn a blind eye to the plight of those around you. And in treating with us, I am certain whatever mistrust you feel for man will begin to...''heel''.<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Ahhh....<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' If you will not be satisfied... I suppose I could listen... After all, there's no harm in just─<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' No! No, no, no! I mustn't. Not again...<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' That damned court mage seemed to have the best of intentions too, and countless innocents died for my naivety!<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' You know not what you ask of me. What horrors my knowledge has wrought...<br /> <br /> '''&lt;What will you say?&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;Refuse all you want! We won't lie down and accept defeat!&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;We would never misuse it!&gt;'''<br /> '''(If the Shadowbringers Role Quests have been completed)'''<br /> '''&lt;You mean the magical plague of Voeburt?&gt;'''<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;We would never misuse it!&gt;'''''<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Of all the visitors I could possibly have... They're even more stubborn than I am...!<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;Refuse all you want! We won't lie down and accept defeat!&gt;'''''<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' You wish only to save your friends? Nothing more?<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Do you swear it?<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;You mean the magical plague of Voeburt?&gt;'''''<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' You know of the plague!?<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Then you know how dangerous soulcraft can be! Instead of saving your friends, you risk damning them. Are you sure you're willing to take that chance?<br /> <br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' Oh, very well...<br /> '''Beq Lugg:''' I will hear your petition, but that is all! And I expect fitting payment for my troubles...<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Commensurate with your contribution to our cause. No more and no less, I promise you.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' With that settled─might I impose upon you to join us at the Crystarium? I'm afraid the nature of my friends' predicament calls for absolute secrecy.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Alphinaud===<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' There you are. The others have gone ahead to the Crystal Tower with Beq Lugg.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' For the record, I truly wish we hadn't had to resort to using such words when treating with them. I have ever sought to ''convince'', not compel. Yet I cannot deny that a part of me is glad Urianger shared his knowledge of the Nu Mou with us. Had he not, Beq Lugg wouldn't be here.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Speaking of whom─we should hurry. To keep our guest waiting would only add insult to injury.</div>

In a bid to pique the interest of the reclusive mage of the palace, he proposes a boisterous entrance through the main gate.

Yet they cannot prevent you from reaching the heart of the Grand Cosmos. Within, you find the mage waiting, and without a moment's hesitation, they unleash their fiercest familiar upon you. Nevertheless, its flame is soon snuffed out.<br /> <br /> *Sheathing your weapons, you find yourselves in the presence of Beq Lugg, the Exarch's promised master of soulcraft.

It would seem the fighting at the Ghimlyt Dark has ceased, and that nothing else of any great import has happened in your absence. Wishing to take advantage of this relative lull in activity, she invites you to tell her of your adventures in the First, the mention of which reminds her that F'lhaminn is also eager to know what became of Minfilia. With this in mind, she bids you wait for her on the terrace at the House of Splendors.<br /> <br /> *Tataru and F'lhaminn hang on your every word as you tell them of the First, of Minfilia's sacrifice, and of the young girl Ryne who now carries on her legacy. Before you can continue, however, an unexpected guest arrives─Riol. Tataru had hoped he would bring word from her helper behind enemy lines, but he has apparently received no communication of any kind. Fearing the worst, Riol is resolved to sneak into the Empire himself in the hopes he might finally make contact. Before taking his leave, however, he remembers to tell you that Krile has come to the Rising Stones. She apparently wishes to speak with you about the plight of your friends marooned in the First.<br /> <br /> *Krile enters the main hall, offering a greeting absent the cheerful tones to which you are accustomed. She has, you learn, just finished an examination of the stricken Scions, confirming suspicions she had hoped would prove false─the tenuous link between their bodies and their souls is weakening. Time is of the essence, and thus she bids you return to the First to inform the others of your discovery. While you do so, she will consult Master Matoya on a means to maintain the stability of their corporeal aether for as long as possible.<br /> <br /> *Your comrades seem unsurprised by Krile's findings, but the gravity of the situation is not lost on them. After a brief discussion, they settle upon a novel solution: to pour their spirits into auracite, theoretically enabling you to bear them safely across the rift and back to the Source as you would inanimate possessions. This will, however, require knowledge of soul preservation and transference, subjects wholly unfamiliar to all present. Luckily, the Crystal Exarch may know of someone who can help.<br /> <br /> ==Dialogue==<br /> ===Quest Acceptance===<br /> <br /> '''Tataru:''' [Forename]! Gods, it's good to see you. I hope your being here means you've had your fill of rest?<br /> <br /> '''&lt;What will you say?&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;More than my fill!&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;Not so much as forty winks, truth be told...&gt;'''<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;More than my fill!&gt;'''''<br /> '''Tataru:''' Well, you've certainly earned it.<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;Not so much as forty winks, truth be told...&gt;'''''<br /> '''Tataru:''' You're too selfless, that's your problem. But you'll be no good to anyone if you don't take a break every once in a while. ''Anyway''...<br /> <br /> '''Tataru:''' Not much has happened since your last visit. I ''had'' planned for you to meet that helper I told you about, but he refuses to answer his linkpearl. I do hope he's all right.<br /> '''Tataru:''' We've been exchanging messages with the Eorzean Alliance throughout, though. They say the fighting has finally stopped at the Ghimlyt Dark, and that the Empire's shown no sign of movement.<br /> '''Tataru:''' Which means we might actually have a moment to ourselves for a change. Seeing as you're back, maybe you could tell me more about your time in the First?<br /> '''Tataru:''' Great! Oh, and if you don't mind, I'd like to ask F'lhaminn to join us. She'll want to know what happened to Minfilia, and I think it's best she hears it from you.<br /> '''Tataru:''' We'll meet you on the terrace at the House of Splendors.<br /> <br /> ====Optional dialogue====<br /> '''Tataru:''' We'll be waiting for you at the House of Splendors. And I expect you to tell us absolutely everything about your time in the First!<br /> <br /> ===Speak with F'lhaminn at the House of Splendors===<br /> '''F'lhaminn:''' [Forename]. My, it has been too long. Tataru ''did'' mention that I would be joining you, did she not?<br /> '''F'lhaminn:''' Thank you... Words cannot well express how I have longed to know more of the First. This world Minfilia has sacrificed so much to save.<br /> '''F'lhaminn:''' But come, rest your feet. Tataru should be arriving shortly.<br /> <br /> ====Cutscene====<br /> '''Tataru:''' And so Minfilia chose to pass on her gifts to the next Oracle? This girl who Thancred named Ryne?<br /> '''F'lhaminn:''' To have such a burden thrust upon her as a child...only to embrace it when given the choice...<br /> '''F'lhaminn:''' In that respect, they are quite alike. It would seem her legacy is indeed in capable hands.<br /> '''F'lhaminn:''' [Forename]─might I ask a favor of you when next you return to the First? To tell Ryne what I cannot.<br /> '''F'lhaminn:''' To tell her...thank you.<br /> '''F'lhaminn:''' And I would offer thanks to you as well. For staying with her to the end.<br /> '''???:''' Beggin' yer pardon, but could I have a word?<br /> '''Tataru:''' Riol! I hope you're here to tell me you've received word from our helper.<br /> '''Riol:''' I wish. Nay, I've not had a peep out of him. An' it's been a good long while now. Too bloody long.<br /> '''Riol:''' On account o' which, I'm goin' to sneak over the border an' see if I can't get a signal to him from closer up.<br /> '''Tataru:''' But what if they catch you!? There must be another way.<br /> '''Riol:''' Well, it ain't as if we can ask Thancred to do it. Besides, I shouldn't have no trouble pickin' me way through Ghimlyt now the fightin's died down. Gods know there's enough shadows to hide in.<br /> '''Riol:''' An' it beats waitin' 'round here twiddlin' me thumbs. Anyroad, I just thought I'd let ye know. Now, I'd best be─<br /> '''Riol:''' Ack! I nearly forgot! Krile's at the Stones, an' she wants a word.<br /> '''Riol:''' Somethin' to do with the patients. She was gettin' ready to examine 'em again when I left.<br /> '''Tataru:''' We'd best head back, then. I'm sure it's important.<br /> <br /> ====Optional dialogue====<br /> '''F'lhaminn:''' You needn't worry about me. Go and see what Krile has to say.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Tataru at the Rising Stones===<br /> '''Tataru:''' It seems she's still examining them. Oh, I do hope it's nothing bad...<br /> <br /> ====Cutscene====<br /> '''Krile:''' You're here. Good.<br /> '''Tataru:''' So...how are they?<br /> '''Krile:''' Still locked in slumber. But otherwise in good physical health.<br /> '''Krile:''' ...For the present, at least.<br /> '''Tataru:''' For the present?<br /> '''Tataru:''' ...Oh no, is something wrong with them!?<br /> '''Krile:''' I'm afraid there may be.<br /> '''Krile:''' I summoned you after detecting faint signs of instability in Thancred's corporeal aether. But subsequent examinations suggested all five might be affected. And when I examined them just now, my fears were confirmed.<br /> '''Krile:''' Tellingly, the degree of instability varies between them.<br /> '''Krile:''' Thancred exhibits the most notable signs, followed by Y'shtola and Urianger. The twins' aether, meanwhile, remains relatively stable, but there is a change there too if one knows to look for it.<br /> '''Tataru:''' Hold on─isn't that the order they were called away in?<br /> '''Krile:''' Indeed. Which leads me to believe the instability will only increase with time.<br /> '''Krile:''' Though I can but speculate, I fear this may be a symptom of a weakening link between body and soul.<br /> '''Tataru:''' By the gods... What happens if the link is broken?<br /> '''Krile:''' I cannot say for certain─this is all unknown territory to us. Yet whatever happens, it cannot be good.<br /> '''Krile:''' Mercifully, the instability is still only slight. And you may rest assured Master Matoya and I will do everything in our power to keep it from worsening.<br /> '''Krile:''' Be that as it may, it is imperative that you find a way to restore our friends' souls to their bodies.<br /> <br /> '''&lt;What will you say?&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;Leave it to me.&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;No rest for the righteous, eh?&gt;'''<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;Leave it to me.&gt;'''''<br /> '''Krile:''' Thank you.<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;No rest for the righteous, eh?&gt;''''' <br /> '''Krile:''' I realize you've only just returned from saving two worlds, but time is not on our side.<br /> <br /> '''Tataru:''' But where's [he/she] even supposed to start? We had the greatest minds in the realm hunting high and low for an answer, and they ran out of places to look.<br /> '''Krile:''' You stated in your report that the Exarch had originally intended to reverse the summoning process by means of his own death, correct?<br /> '''Krile:''' Raha always was a reckless young fool... Ready to die for the first righteous cause that came along.<br /> '''Krile:''' His plan might well have worked, but I for one am glad he never had the opportunity to see it through. Even if it does mean our friends must remain stranded awhile longer.<br /> '''Krile:''' There is another way, I am sure of it. And the key lies with him. With the Exarch.<br /> '''Krile:''' Pray return to the First and apprise him and the others of the situation.<br /> '''Krile:''' We, meanwhile, will do what we can from here and, if the fates are kind, we will have good news to share upon your return.<br /> <br /> ====Optional dialogue====<br /> '''Tataru:''' Take care over in the First, [Forename]. We're counting on you and the Crystal Exarch to bring our friends home.<br /> <br /> '''Krile:''' Don't you worry. Master Matoya and I will think of something.<br /> <br /> '''Ephemie:''' Tataru has apprised us of the Archons' condition. Rest assured, we will do our utmost to assist Mistress Krile in her ministrations.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with the Crystal Exarch in the Ocular===<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Ah, [Forename], you are returned. I hope your time in the Source was suitably restful?<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' ...But of course it wasn't. Go on...<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Their corporeal aether shows signs of ''instability''? By the gods... The possibility never even occurred to me...<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' If you have returned in the hope that my research has yielded a solution, I fear you will be sorely disappointed.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' 'Tis but a mercy we have the likes of Mistress Krile and Master Matoya to keep our friends' bodies safe while we wrestle with the problem.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' But they cannot forestall the separation of body and soul indefinitely. Come, the others must be told.<br /> <br /> ====Cutscene====<br /> '''Urianger:''' Pray excuse my late arrival.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Will Thancred and Ryne not be joining us?<br /> '''Urianger:''' Nay, milady. With apologies to all, they beg leave to pursue their investigation of the Empty to its conclusion. Should matters here demand their presence, however, they did assure me that they would make themselves available.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Yes, of course. Then let us proceed.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' I...I think it best that you begin by providing a summary of Mistress Krile's findings.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' I suppose it was only to be expected that some change would occur...<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Yet our souls seem unaffected. To my eye, at least.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' How long they will remain so is another question. Krile is right. It is imperative we find a way to return to the Source.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Perhaps an explanation of the method by which I brought you here will yield some inspiration.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Ere I begin, it must be noted that I am by no means a gifted mage. In order to employ powerful magicks, I must rely upon the Crystal Tower and its boundless reservoirs of energy.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' The magick that summoned you was no exception. 'Tis a singular spell, adapted through painstaking effort from the technique that transported me to the First.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' To use an analogy, it works by cutting a hole in the fabric of reality. A hole tailored to the object of summoning, through which it─and it alone─may pass unscathed.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Though I succeeded in creating said hole, I failed to latch onto my intended target. Instead of you, the spell found those close to you, and ended up summoning them in their incomplete state...<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' I would not soon throw my life away─not after the lengths you and yours went to save it.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' And so long as I breathe, I will spare no effort to see you safely home.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' But should all else fail, and your lives be at stake, there remains one sure method...<br /> <br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Ow!<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' What was that for!?<br /> '''Alisaie:''' How can you even entertain such thoughts!? You owe your life to the Warrior of Light, and you don't get to die unless [he/she] says so.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Your followers await your divine judgment.<br /> <br /> '''(Alisaie)'''<br /> What did you just─<br /> <br /> '''(Crystal Exarch)'''<br /> What?<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' If the two of you have finished, perhaps we could return to our discussion?<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Rather than dwelling upon the multiple failed attempts at transference, I think it would behoove us to focus on the solitary success.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' I would draw your attention to the fact that our friend can travel between worlds possessed not only of [his/her] body and soul, but [his/her] personal effects besides.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' This is no different from the teleportation magicks to which we are all accustomed─magicks that allow for the transportation of those inanimate objects one considers to be an extension of oneself.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Are you suggesting that, simply by considering us [his/her] possessions, [he/she] could carry our souls back to the Source upon [his/her] person?<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Well, it would be nice if things were that simple for a change.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' But vague notions of ownership seem a rather tenuous thing to stake our lives on. So much as a moment of doubt on [his/her] part, and we'd be left floating in the rift.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Milady hath the right of it. The requisite fixity of belief would be too much to ask even of our friend.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Yet were we to immure our souls within an object in [his/her] possession, mayhap then our safe passage could be assured.<br /> '''Urianger:''' White auracite would, I believe, serve as a suitable vessel for this purpose. 'Twas conceived to imprison the massy soul of an Ascian, and should house one of ours with relative ease.<br /> '''Urianger:''' We would need only to ensure our souls' safe preservation inside the stone, and identify a means by which they might be transferred back unto our vacant bodies.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Soul preservation and transference... Hm. I believe I know of someone who may be able to assist us.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' On the far shore of the Source, there stands a great palace built by the elves.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' It was forsaken in the wake of the Flood, but a certain Nu Mou chose to make their home there soon after.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Though they have long lived as a recluse, they once occupied a place of honor in Voeburt's royal court, and it is said that none in all of Norvrandt is more knowledgeable than they on matters of the soul.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Well, I've no objection to seeking a helping hand, but if they've gone to such lengths to hide themselves away from the world, what makes you think they'd be willing to lend us one?<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Heh. A worthy question. Years ago, I myself tried─and failed─to solicit their cooperation in the battle against the sin eaters.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' No sooner had I begun to make my plea than they unleashed a swarm of their familiars upon me.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Unlike me, however, you have curried favor with the fae folk. By that merit alone, I am hopeful that they would grant you an audience.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' They may still be inclined to turn you away, of course, but if their knowledge might feasibly facilitate your return home, we have to try.</div>

With your party thus assembled, you turn to face the foreboding doors of the Capitol.<br /> <br /> * You enter the Capitol building with your companions and find yourselves face-to-face with [[Emet-Selch]] himself. The Ascian belittles the value of the fragmentary lives which now populate the Source and its reflections, challenging you to prove yourself worthy of his people's legacy. With the gauntlet thrown down and the Exarch awaiting rescue, you steel yourself to wade into the infernal flames of the Final Days of Amaurot.<br /> ** ※To enlist your companion NPCs for this duty, speak with them near the entrance or access Duty Support via the main menu.

Taking to the field, he brushes aside your comrades' every attack, refuting each argument leveled against him with the same easy contempt. Exhausted from battering yourself against the Ascian's adamant defenses, you are powerless to prevent the Light within from breaking its bonds, and you slump to the ground in agony. Emet-Selch has won.<br /> <br /> : But then Ardbert is there at your side, and with his hand at your back, you find the strength to take another step. Emet-Selch's disbelief is compounded as the Exarch appears and intones a spell to bring you further reinforcements. Now enraged beyond measure, the Ascian casts aside his mortal form, and reveals to you his true name─Hades. The final hour─the final conflict─is at hand!<br /> :: ※The Dying Gasp can be accessed via the Duty Finder.<br /> <br /> * You wage a titanic battle not only against Hades, but the hopes and dreams of Ascian-kind, of which he is the keeper. In the end, however, your own unwavering conviction brings the ancient being low. You have done a great and terrible thing. Pen the conclusion to this momentous chapter of history, and make your return to the Ocular.<br /> <br /> * ''“Remember us...”''<br /> <br /> : With all your might behind the throw, the axe of incandescent Light shatters the bound soul of Emet-Selch.<br /> <br /> : ''“Remember...that we once lived...”''<br /> <br /> : The Ascian's words ring in your ears, even as both Y'shtola and Ryne declare your soul free of the Wardens' taint. You have won.<br /> <br /> : After an exhausting swim to the surface, you and your companions are given a hero's welcome by the people of Norvrandt. The Crystarium erupts in celebration, and you enter the city beneath a blessedly clear sky.<br /> <br /> * You look on proudly as the Exarch proclaims that the First is saved, and that the Eighth Umbral Calamity no longer threatens the Source. But then a moment of confusion descends as those assembled puzzle over the steward's continued presence. His timeline has supposedly been unmade, yet with the man himself still very much alive, it would seem the summoned Scions are stuck in the First.<br /> <br /> : Happy enough to postpone their return if it means the Exarch's life is spared, your comrades urge you to head back alone. Once the portal is prepared, you step through without further hesitation, eager to bring word of your success to Tataru.<br /> <br /> * When traversing the rift, the steady beat of time is rendered mutable, and so your unexpectedly early return catches Tataru entirely off guard. The redoubtable secretary swiftly recovers, however, and regales you with what she knows of the situation in the Source. Wishing to confirm the current news from the front line, as well as contact her “surprise” helper, Tataru bids you take your ease for the moment─a brief respite before the ceaseless turning of two tumultuous worlds beckons you once more unto adventure.<br /> <br /> ==Dialogue==<br /> ===Quest Acceptance===<br /> '''(optional)'''<br /> ''Alphinaud is lost in thought, his eyes downcast. There is, however, no sign of the self-doubt which once assailed him at the Falling Snows.''<br /> <br /> '''(optional)'''<br /> ''Thancred stares quietly into the distance. He seems calm and assured, his easy stance born of confidence rather than false bravado.''<br /> <br /> '''(optional)'''<br /> ''Ryne appears to be brooding over her choices, her faintly trembling hands betraying her mounting trepidation.''<br /> <br /> '''(optional)'''<br /> ''Urianger glances your way, his expression hesitant. You can see the struggle as he agonizes over the words he wishes to say.''<br /> <br /> '''(optional)'''<br /> ''Y'shtola meets your gaze with a strained smile. You seem to recall her wearing the selfsame expression when speaking with Lyse and Runar.''<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' Do you remember that talk we had atop the tower in Mord Souq?<br /> '''Alisaie:''' I'm still of the same mind now as I was then. I don't abandon you, you don't abandon me, and together we make a difference in this fight.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' There's always hope if we look for it─I saw it again and again as you tore those veils of Light from the sky.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' If we keep taking that next step forward, there's a chance we'll find a way to save you. So no matter how long it takes or how much it hurts, you can count on me to keep on walking.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Alphinaud===<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Vauthry spoke of the disaster we would bring upon our own heads. The ceaseless conflict...<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Imagine how he would sneer to see what's become of the First, not to mention your perilous predicament.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' And yet who can deny the fire your deeds have ignited in people's hearts?<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' You achieved what my logic and ideals never could: uniting disparate peoples under the banner of hope and common purpose. Without you, that giant Talos would never have raised its head.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' I have borne witness to many such miracles at your side, and would do so again. This is but another obstacle in the road.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' So come, let us travel it. Drag me through wonder and danger, as you are wont to do, and I shall endeavor not to slow you down.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Urianger===<br /> '''Urianger:''' As well thou knowest, if we are to usher Emet-Selch unto his rest, we must needs bind his Ascian soul...and then shatter it with overwhelming force.<br /> '''Urianger:''' The former task requireth auracite, and such have I prepared─upon the Exarch's asking, no less, though 'twas ever mine intent to provide said boon.<br /> '''Urianger:''' The future whence our noble friend doth hail is a world fallen to Ascian artifice, and he would not see such grim history repeated.<br /> '''Urianger:''' In a sense, Emet-Selch's destruction will be the culmination of the Exarch's efforts─a reward for all he hath endured these many years.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Yet even as thou stridest into the jaws of peril, forget not but that his fondest wish─and that of many others, besides─is to see thee survive unto the morrow.<br /> '''Urianger:''' 'Tis in pursuit of that happiest of outcomes that I do pledge to remain at thy side.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Y'shtola===<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Our time in the First has been a never-ending succession of trials, as arduous as our path in the Source ever was.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Yet through all our journeys together─through that deep and foreboding wood─you have helped me to stay true to my convictions.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Thus would I return the favor. Do as your heart decrees, without hesitation or regret. And that is all I will say on the matter.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Thancred===<br /> '''Thancred:''' Well, this has put everyone in a solemn mood, hasn't it? Honestly, we're not even sure this will be the end of it.<br /> '''Thancred:''' But I suppose we should speak our minds when we have the opportunity. You taught me that much in Amh Araeng.<br /> '''Thancred:''' So forgive me this moment of sentiment, [Forename]. By dragging me into this sorry mess, you've given me the chance to think and act as I should have. For Ryne's sake.<br /> '''Thancred:''' Words cannot express how much this has changed my life, or how grateful I am for your support...<br /> '''Thancred:''' ...So I shall express my gratitude through action instead. No matter where you decide to go, I will be there, guarding your back.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Ryne (cutscene)===<br /> '''Ryne:''' When Minfilia entrusted me with her power, she warned me that no matter how strong you become, you can still fall victim to despair; you can still feel powerless.<br /> '''Ryne:''' And she was right. After you collapsed on Mt. Gulg, my hands wouldn't stop shaking...<br /> '''Ryne:''' If I made a mistake, if I failed to bind the Light within you... I was terrified you would die.<br /> '''Ryne:''' Even now, you could be moments from turning, and I wouldn't know how to save you!<br /> '''Ryne:''' You, Thancred, the others, you've all been there when I needed help. Minfilia surrendered her life to me─her legacy.<br /> '''Ryne:''' I should be ready to do the same for you! And I want to, I do! But I just...<br /> '''Ryne:''' ...I'm not good enough.<br /> '''Ryne:''' She told me to follow your example, and I've tried, I've really tried... &lt;sob&gt;<br /> <br /> '''&lt;What will you say?&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;Then you shouldn't hang your head.&gt;'''<br /> '''&amp;lt;I'm not asking to be saved.&gt;'''<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;Then you shouldn't hang your head.&gt;'''''<br /> '''Ryne:''' I shouldn't...?<br /> <br /> '''''&amp;lt;I'm not asking to be saved.&gt;'''''<br /> '''Ryne:''' But the Light, it─ You'll─ How can you go on?<br /> <br /> '''&lt;What will you say?&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;Fate can be cruel, but a smile better suits a hero.&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;We must all keep looking forward, like the heroes who never gave up hope for this world.&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;...&gt;'''<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;Fate can be cruel, but a smile better suits a hero.&gt;'''''<br /> '''Ryne:''' ...<br /> '''Ryne:''' I'm not sure I—<br /> '''Ryne:''' ...Actually, never mind. I think I'll understand better if I try it for myself.<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;We must all keep looking forward, like the heroes who never gave up hope for this world.&gt;'''''<br /> '''Ryne:''' ...<br /> '''Ryne:''' I'm not sure who you—<br /> '''Ryne:''' ...Actually, never mind. I think the answer might be different for all of us.<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;...&gt;'''''<br /> '''Ryne:''' ...I see. If I'm to become what I wish to become, then there are some answers I need to work out for myself.<br /> <br /> '''Ryne:''' No, nothing will come of brooding here in self-pity. I've made my decision, [Forename]─I'm going with you!<br /> <br /> ===Speak with the Capitol attendant===<br /> '''Capitol Attendant:''' Welcome to the Capitol. All visitors must present an official writ of permission before admittance will be granted.<br /> '''Capitol Attendant:''' Your documents appear to be in order. You may proceed into the Capitol─but any guests you may choose to bring with you must remain in your vicinity at all times.<br /> <br /> ====Cutscene====<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' This really is unacceptable. I gave you very specific instructions.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Emet-Selch!<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' My invitation was for an abomination, ripe with the power to bring about the world's annihilation.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Not this half-broken...thing. Whatever am I to do with you?<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' And I see you insist on keeping the same familiar company. Are you so lost without them?<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' It is not [he/she] who is lost without the familiar.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Not content with remaking an entire city, you aim to fill it with the reconstituted souls of the dead.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' I may have gotten a little carried away, in my attention to detail. Added a few unnecessary flourishes...<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Weeell, there's no point trying to hide it. Yes.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Once the rejoining of worlds is complete, Zodiark will regain His full strength and shatter His prison.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Then we shall offer up the Source's remaining inhabitants in sacrifice, that we might resurrect our brethren who died to bring Zodiark into existence.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' But what was it that you came here to do, exactly?<br /> <br /> '''&lt;What will you say?&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;We came here to stop you.&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;We came here for the Exarch.&gt;'''<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;We came here to stop you.&gt;'''''<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Did you now? One last do-or-die attempt to foil my plans before your mind dissolves into madness?<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' How very, very...heroic of you.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' In every single age, there is always someone who wants to stand up to the evil Ascians.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Always the same arrogance, the same insistence that the world belongs to them. As if theirs were the only rightful claim, theirs the only existence worthy of preservation!<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;We came here for the Exarch.&gt;'''''<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Well, you can't have him. The wisdom that man guards may open up new worlds of possibilities.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' He has unlocked the secrets of travel across the rift─and through time as well, it would seem. Quite an accomplishment for one of his “incomplete” nature.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' I must explore the limits of his capabilities, and harness that power for the Ardor.<br /> <br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Even now, after everything, you refuse to see reason.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' You think it unfair that you are subject to suffering? That your lives will be sacrificed for the ancients?<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Look at me! I have lived a thousand thousand of your lives!<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' I have broken bread with you, fought with you, grown ill, grown old! Sired children and yes, welcomed death's sweet embrace.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' For eons have I measured your worth and found you wanting! Too weak and feeble-minded to serve as stewards of any star!<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Have your recent spats with Vauthry and his sin eaters taught you nothing?<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Have you not learned that your ignorance and frailty beget only endless misery?<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' How long do you mean to perpetuate this farce? How much more must I endure your bumbling interference?<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Let us imagine that the laws of reality are again undone, and the world faces true annihilation. Do you honestly believe that half your number would sacrifice themselves to save the other?<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Of course they wouldn't!<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' And if you had witnessed history unfold as I have, you would reach the same conclusion!<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' You cannot be entrusted with our legacy.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' I will bring back our brethren. Our friends. Our loved ones. The world belongs to us and us alone.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Emet-Selch!<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' We understand. Truly. But it makes no difference.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' The ones you love are in the past.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' While ours are here in the present.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' One day, we too will be ashes and dust, but not today. Our time is not yet finished.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' We share your conviction...and that is why we will not abandon our course.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' You think us the same? You think your tattered soul of equal worth to those I lost?<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Then come─earn your place. Prove yourselves worthy to inherit this star.<br /> <br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Behold, the coming oblivion. 'Twas the end of our era, and the beginning of our great work.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' A fitting backdrop...for your final judgment.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' I shall wait within, but do not spend too much time on your preparations. There's no telling how much longer the guest of honor will last.<br /> <br /> ====Optional dialogue====<br /> '''Alisaie:''' I won't ask you to hold back─that time is long past. I'll just try to snuff out the worst of the embers before they reach you.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Just say the word, [Forename]. However harrowing the scenes that await us, they will not sway us from our course.<br /> <br /> '''Urianger:''' In those Final Days, 'tis said that monstrous beasts were set loose in the city─terrors made flesh by sorceries run rampant.<br /> '''Urianger:''' If Emet-Selch hath been faithful in his reconstruction, then we must be prepared to face many such abominations.<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' I reasoned that Emet-Selch would not harm the Exarch until he had learned the tower's secrets, but his parting words suggest otherwise.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Let us make haste. Your friend may not have the luxury of decades to wait for you this time.<br /> <br /> '''Thancred:''' Ready when you are, [Forename]. If it's proof he wants, we'll give him a fight the likes of which he's never seen.<br /> <br /> '''Ryne:''' I can feel it, beyond the flames...a Darkness waiting to swallow our Light.<br /> '''Ryne:''' Wherever you are, Minfilia, watch over us and guide our steps...<br /> <br /> ===Enter Amaurot===<br /> ====Post Duty Cutscene====<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Well, well, you prevailed...<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Nevertheless!<br /> <br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Your performance was underwhelming, and I remain unconvinced of your worthiness.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Oh, you tower over your misbegotten ilk, no doubt. But should I bring my full strength to bear, well...you would be as leaves in the wind.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' The gulf between us is a reflection of the disparity between the world as it was...and what it has become.<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' Our worlds may not live up to your lofty standards...<br /> '''Alisaie:''' But they are our worlds! Our homes! Full of life and love and hope!<br /> '''Alisaie:''' And we won't stand by and let you destroy them!<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Alisaie!<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' You are a mistake.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' For we who have known perfection, the shattered Source and these shards are ghastly mockeries of the true world.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' The ephemeral lives you exalt are pale imitations, utterly devoid of meaning.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Belittle us all you like, but we will rise again and again, and give the lie to your insults through word and deed.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' We define our worth, not the circumstances of our creation!<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Hmph, more prattle.<br /> <br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Fool. Who are you? No one. Nothing.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Once I have reclaimed my heritage, my first act will be to expunge your stain from history's weave.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' My world will have no need for heroes.<br /> <br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Still fighting the good fight...<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' It is true that all we hold dear is fated to fade away.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' But that is no reason for us to forsake it!<br /> '''Urianger:''' To take what steps we may, and thus mark the road for those who would follow.<br /> '''Urianger:''' To strive for the best of all futures... Be this not also thy purpose!?<br /> <br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Do not presume to speak of my future!<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' And you! Why waste your final moments in futile defiance?<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Weary wanderer─you've no fight left to fight! No life left to live!<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Hah hah hah hah hah! You see! The Light will not be denied!<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Surrender to your fate, and let the transformation take you!<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Rise up in madness and fury! Devour the vermin infesting the land which is rightfully ours!<br /> <br /> '''Thancred:''' Now, Ryne! Now!<br /> '''Ryne:''' Fight it... You have to hold on!<br /> <br /> '''Ardbert:''' If you had the strength to take another step, could you do it?<br /> '''Ardbert:''' Could you save our worlds?<br /> <br /> '''&lt;What will you say?&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;You know I could!&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;What, all by myself?&gt;'''<br /> <br /> '''Ardbert:''' Hah.<br /> '''Ardbert:''' Take it. We fight as one!<br /> <br /> '''(Ardbert speaking through the player)'''<br /> The world is not yours to end...<br /> This is our future. Our story.<br /> <br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' No... It can't be...<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Bah, a trick of the light. You are a broken husk, nothing more.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' How can you hope to stand against me alone?<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' We stand together!<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' How did─!? ...I'm surprised you can stand at all.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' I could not well leave matters half-finished.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Let expanse contract, eon become instant!<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Champions from beyond the rift, heed my call!<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Damn you! Damn you all!<br /> <br /> '''&lt;What will you say?&gt;'''<br /> '''&amp;lt;I challenge you, Emet-Selch.&gt;'''<br /> '''&amp;lt;It ends this day. One way or another, it ends.&gt;'''<br /> <br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Very well. Let us proceed to your final judgment.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' The victor shall write the tale, and the vanquished become its villain!<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' But come! Let us cast aside titles and pretense, and reveal our true faces to one another!<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' I am Hades! He who shall awaken our brethren from their dark slumber!<br /> <br /> ===Confront Hades in The Dying Gasp===<br /> ====Post Trial Cutscene====<br /> '''(Hades)'''<br /> I...will...not...yield.<br /> Should I surrender this fight, what will become of it all...?<br /> What will become of our triumphs? Our hopes? Our...our despair?<br /> No, no, no! I will not let it all be for naught!<br /> <br /> '''Thancred:''' Enough, damn you!<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Such...infernal...strength...<br /> <br /> '''Urianger:''' Now! Strike with all thy might!<br /> <br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Remember...remember us...<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Remember...that we once lived...<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' It's over. Emet-Selch is no more!<br /> '''Alisaie:''' More importantly, how do you fare?<br /> '''Urianger:''' ...What dost thou see?<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Her aether... It is...it is as it used to be.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' As a disciple of Zodiark, the Ascian was the Darkness to your Light...<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' I can but assume that when you set your strength against his, the Light within you was spent.<br /> '''Ryne:''' No. It's more than that.<br /> '''Ryne:''' Under the strain of that incredible flood of aether, your soul had begun to break apart. Yet now it seems somehow...restored.<br /> '''Ryne:''' I tried to help you before the battle, but Emet-Selch stopped me. So, h-how did you─exactly what did you... Can you tell us what happened?<br /> <br /> '''&lt;What will you say?&gt;'''<br /> '''&amp;lt;I had help from a hero of this world...&gt;'''<br /> '''&amp;lt;I'll explain it all another time...&gt;'''<br /> <br /> '''Ryne:''' I see...<br /> <br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Where to start...?<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' I believe I owe you all an apology. And you most especially.<br /> <br /> '''&lt;What will you say?&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;Let's get out of here first!&gt;'''<br /> '''&amp;lt;I'm tired—we'll leave the lecture for later.&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;Tis good to see you awake, G'raha Tia.&gt;'''<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;Let's get out of here first!&gt;'''''<br /> '''''&amp;lt;I'm tired—we'll leave the lecture for later.&gt;'''''<br /> '''Thancred:''' No arguments here!<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;Tis good to see you awake, G'raha Tia.&gt;'''''<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Well... 'Tis good to be awake!<br /> <br /> ====Cutscene 2====<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' So, those mad souls dove straight into the ocean over there, did they?<br /> '''Irvithe:''' Ah, a-all I could see from here was the whale, Master Chai...<br /> '''Dulia-Chai:''' 'Twas surely Alphinaud and those friends of his! They did something heroic, mark my words!<br /> '''Dulia-Chai:''' You need only look up there for proof of that!<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' As you say, my love.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' They're sure to be back─any moment now. Any moment...<br /> <br /> '''Dulia-Chai:''' They are coming back, aren't they? I couldn't bear the thought of...of...<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' There, there, dear. Everything will be all right...<br /> <br /> '''Grithil:''' There! There! Look, over there! Over at the beach!<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' I didn't think...we'd be swimming...the whole way back...<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Heavens...heavens... Take me...<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Alphinaud!? Oh, hells...<br /> <br /> '''Ryne:''' Wait! Where's Urianger!?<br /> '''Thancred:''' He must have fallen behind...<br /> '''Ryne:''' But...shouldn't we look for him!?<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' He'll wash up sooner or later.<br /> <br /> '''(Alisaie)'''<br /> ''For the love of...Alphinaud!''<br /> <br /> '''Feo Ul:''' Welcome back, dear ones!<br /> <br /> '''(Crystal Exarch)'''<br /> And thus did salvation come to the First.<br /> The lamps of Amaurot will fade along with Emet-Selch's enchantments, and the depths shall be as once they were.<br /> Mt.

As does your legacy.<br /> <br /> ====Cutscene 4====<br /> <br /> '''(Crystal Exarch)'''<br /> Such is the hero's lot─to touch the lives of countless others...<br /> <br /> '''Wide-eyed Boy:''' Excuse me! You're the Warrior of Darkness...aren't you?<br /> '''Wide-eyed Boy:''' Where are you from, really? And how did you get to be so strong!?<br /> <br /> ====Optional dialogue====<br /> <br /> '''Alisaie:''' &lt;sigh&gt; It would seem I don't know my own limits. I had thought to push on till dawn, but my body had other plans...<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Still, I did enjoy the carousing while it lasted. Even ''I'' need to forget my cares every now and then.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' What I don't need is to wake up to Alphinaud smirking at my bedside! He said my face was “a rare sight” while I slept. Gods, I hope I wasn't drooling...<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' It would seem that the city celebrated long into the night...not that I would know. As embarrassing as it is to admit, I woke to find myself in the infirmary, having apparently collapsed from exhaustion.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' My aching pride was somewhat soothed by the sight of Alisaie asleep in the bed next to mine. She must have been just as weary. Long has it been since I've seen her face so peaceful in repose...<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Ah, 'twas a rare, tranquil morning, made unforgettable by the sight of those clear blue skies.<br /> <br /> '''Ryne:''' Oh, [Forename], are you well? No ill aftereffects? To my eyes, you seem completely healed. It really is a miracle...<br /> '''Ryne:''' Speaking of happy surprises, I was amazed to see the crowd that greeted our return! I hadn't realized just how many people we'd met along the way...<br /> '''Ryne:''' And did you see their smiles!? Right then and there, I vowed to do whatever I could to keep that joy from fading!<br /> <br /> '''Thancred:''' People came from malms around to join the festivities, but most seem to have stumbled home by now.<br /> '''Thancred:''' Even so, I daresay Norvrandt will echo to the sound of clinking mugs for some while yet.<br /> '''Thancred:''' I thought to indulge in a little revelry myself last night...until Urianger began to list all the names of my drunken conquests. I ended up drinking water. ''Water.''<br /> <br /> '''Urianger:''' The ending to this tale hath been a joyous one indeed. Myriad were the lessons learned, yet there is one of particular import...<br /> '''Urianger:''' 'Tis imperative that I master magicks to grant my feet purchase upon the water...or else allow me to part the sea at will.<br /> '''Urianger:''' I must needs visit Bismarck in due course, and scrub his teeth in thanks. Mayhap the airy arts of a faerie whale might be imparted to mortal men...? We shall see. We shall see...<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' I knew the Night's Blessed were amongst the revelers, aye... But the Crystarium was so crowded, I thought it safe to speak my true name.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Poor Runar and his ilk were gripped with panic. As you may recall, 'tis customary not to reveal one's true name outside of family and ceremony...<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Yet when I hurried to explain that all present were like family, I was greeted with an outpouring of tears. &lt;sigh&gt; An emotional people, the Blessed...<br /> <br /> ===Speak with the Crystal Exarch (cutscene)===<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' By your deeds has the blinding Light been banished from these skies, and the sin eaters driven to retreat.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Although our many hurts will be years in the mending, I have faith that this world and her people will one day be whole once more.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' With no Rejoining in prospect, the Source need no longer fear the coming of an Eighth Umbral Calamity.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' And with that triumph, the future from which you came will no longer come to pass... Yet, here you still stand.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' ...So I do. I wonder if that other age continues onward somehow, cut adrift from time's flow? Or have I simply etched myself a place upon this new block of history?<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Either way, this is an unexpected development.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' As the summoner of your souls, my death was meant to release you back to your world.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Yet I am very much alive, and you are still stuck here in the First.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' I believe I speak for us all when I say that we are happy to postpone our return if it means your life is spared. We will seek out another way.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Besides, I never had any intention of rushing home. There are people here I still need to thank, and this means I might actually have time to do so.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Yet we dare not neglect our comrades in the Source.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Mistress Tataru, to name but one, will be most anxious to know how things stand with us.<br /> '''Thancred:''' So─you'll just have to make the journey alone for the moment. Be sure and give a full report to our fellow Scions, would you? Oh, and we'd also appreciate any news you can bring us from back home.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Then I see no reason to delay. I can open the path from here.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' I imagine we each have matters demanding our attention, so let this be a farewell for us all.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Send word when you've resummoned our friend.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Oh, and do try to ensure [he/she] arrives within the city next time.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Hah! Of course! I shall strive for utmost accuracy! No strange forests or unplanned passengers, I promise.<br /> <br /> '''Ryne:''' I'm a little relieved, to be honest. I would have been terribly lonely if everyone had suddenly disappeared...<br /> '''Ryne:''' But I understand that you have to go. Safe journey, Warrior of Darkness. I hope to see you again soon!<br /> <br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Just a moment while I attune the portal, then you can be on your way.<br /> <br /> '''(Crystal Exarch)'''<br /> When I was a boy, many long years ago...<br /> ...I yearned to stand tall as the heroes of eld.<br /> But like a fool seeking to pluck the stars from the heavens, my every attempt to reprise their deeds fell short...<br /> And then, one day, an all but forgotten dream from my youth stood before me, in the flesh.<br /> <br /> '''Crystal Exarch:'''<br /> A hero who looked to the horizon and beyond, and saw I knew not what.<br /> All I knew was that I would give anything to stand at that hero's side.<br /> <br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Would that it were so easy...<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' The glory of the heavens was ever beyond the grasp of those who never thought to reach for it. But if I've gained anything from all of this, it is the courage to stretch out my hand.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Do you hear me, G'raha Tia? This is no time for sleeping!<br /> <br /> ====Cutscene 2====<br /> ''Meanwhile, in the imperial palace in the Source...''<br /> <br /> '''Estinien:''' Hmph.<br /> <br /> '''Gaius:''' To the west gate! I want to know what's happening there.<br /> <br /> '''Estinien:''' Same as the others─struck down with a single blow. An unfortunate day to draw guard duty.<br /> '''Estinien:''' Forgive me. These were your people.<br /> '''Gaius:''' We took advantage of this slaughter to slip into the palace. 'Tis not for me to grieve them.<br /> '''???:''' Aaagh!<br /> '''Gaius:''' That was the Emperor!<br /> '''Estinien:''' Wha─ Wait!<br /> <br /> '''Gaius:''' Your Radiance!<br /> '''???:''' Gaius! You've missed your part in this, I'm afraid.<br /> '''Gaius:''' Identify yourself, demon!<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' You were hoping for the Ascian?<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' The craven shed this skin and fled rather than face me. A pity─I was looking forward to crossing blades with myself.<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' But I cannot deny the feeling of satisfaction...<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' Body and soul, reunited at last!<br /> '''Estinien:''' What now? The game continues, but the pieces have changed.<br /> '''Gaius:''' Only if we trust in a paragon's words─a mistake I do not intend to repeat.<br /> '''Varis zos Galvus:''' Gaius!<br /> '''Varis zos Galvus:''' He speaks...the truth...<br /> '''Varis zos Galvus:''' Elidibus is gone... Tore a hole into the rift...<br /> '''Varis zos Galvus:''' Zenos... My foolish, greedy son...<br /> '''Varis zos Galvus:''' Was a second life not enough? Was the Empire too rich a prize to ignore?<br /> '''Varis zos Galvus:''' True freedom for our nation─our people─will never be won by a spoiled princeling! The burden of this throne is beyond you.<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' Hmph. 'Tis you, Father, who have struggled with this burden. Simply holding the Empire together has occupied your limited faculties.<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' But you may take comfort in knowing that I have no intention of pursuing your tedious agenda, nor am I interested in ruling over the Empire's lands.<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' I came only to remove that which ruins my sport. I will not have my prey stolen by your petty wars and cowardly weapons.<br /> '''Varis zos Galvus:''' You would kill me just for that...?<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' I need no other reason. Any and all who interfere with my hunt...<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' ...will not do so twice!<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' I heard the Ascian speak of Zodiark and Hydaelyn. Even the will of this star is but a construct of our own making...<br /> '''Zenos yae Galvus:''' We shall gorge upon their strength, and then, my friend, our contest shall begin anew.<br /> '''Gaius:''' Zenos!<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Tataru in the Rising Stones (cutscene)===<br /> '''Tataru:''' But─ But─ But─!<br /> '''Tataru:''' [Forename]!? Is it really you!?<br /> '''Tataru:''' B-B-But how? When!? We didn't think you'd be back for ages!<br /> <br /> '''&lt;What will you say?&gt;'''<br /> '''&amp;lt;Time moves in mysterious ways.&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;Would you rather I went again?&gt;'''<br /> <br /> '''''&amp;lt;Time moves in mysterious ways.&gt;'''''<br /> '''Tataru:''' Right! So it does! The reports you had delivered by that excitable little pixie said as much!<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;Would you rather I went again?&gt;'''''<br /> '''Tataru:''' Oh, don't be daft! I just can't believe you're actually back!<br /> '''Tataru:''' We heard the good news from your pixie friend, but nothing compares to seeing you in the flesh!<br /> <br /> '''Tataru:''' As for the situation on this side, the imperials are still eyeing our forces from afar.<br /> '''Tataru:''' From what I'm told, the Garlean armies have been slow to react, and seem reluctant to commit to any large-scale engagements. It's an odd sort of stalemate.<br /> '''Tataru:''' Otherwise, we've yet to see any sign of that awful “Black Rose” weapon we were warned about...<br /> '''Tataru:''' Oh! But I suppose we did call in an old friend to help out on that count.<br /> '''Tataru:''' Hee hee! Krile and I had a terrible time tracking him down, though it will be worth it to see the look on your face when you find out who it is!<br /> '''Tataru:''' Anyway, I was just about to make contact with this helper of ours, and then confirm the latest news from the front. Might you fancy having a rest while I do?<br /> '''Tataru:''' Ah, the Warrior of Light, back where [he/she] belongs, just as if nothing had happened! ...Though you do seem different somehow. You'll have to tell me all about your adventures when we next have a spare moment!<br /> '''Tataru:''' Until then, welcome back!<br /> <br /> ====Cutscene 2====<br /> '''Elidibus:''' Oblivion has claimed him...<br /> '''Elidibus:''' Emet-Selch...gone. Lahabrea...gone. I alone remain─the last of the unbroken.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' Once more, I am moved to reevaluate the potential of these tattered souls.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' Ah, Zenos. Never did I dream you could overpower me so completely, possessed as I was of your body, and all its uncanny strength...<br /> '''Elidibus:''' And now that I have shared with you the truth of this world and its reflections, who can predict how events will unfold? ...Not I.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' “Emissary”... What a poor jest that title has become. The flow of history has become muddied, its currents wild beyond my capacity to direct them.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' You have wrested the advantage, Hydaelyn. The thieving hands of Your disciples tighten their grip on our star.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' The origins of the world remain hidden and its inhabitants ignorant of their broken existence, just as You and Your creators desired.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' They celebrate the gift of imperfect life─uncaring, unknowing as we weaken and fade.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' But do not imagine Yourself rid of us.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' Though Your champion has indeed proven the most egregious obstacle to our ascendance─a barbed thorn in my side─[he/she] may yet be removed and cast into the abyss.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' Oh yes...it can be done. I will keep these “heroes” mired in the First, and victory will be ours at the last.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' Warriors of Darkness now, are they? Then their fate is decided.<br /> '''Elidibus:''' They shall meet the same end as those who came before─death at the hands of Warriors of Light!<br /> <br /> ====Cutscene 3====<br /> '''Thancred:''' It seems you were right.<br /> '''Ryne:''' Yes, there is something out there...<br /> '''Thancred:''' But it would mean crossing malms and malms of this infernal emptiness. Which is rather unhealthy for living creatures, as I understand it.<br /> '''Thancred:''' Even were we to restrict ourselves to brief forays, I don't like to imagine the effect it would have on our aether...<br /> '''Thancred:''' But...you still want to go. Don't you.<br /> '''Ryne:''' We may have saved the world, but we haven't reclaimed it.<br /> '''Thancred:''' Ah, when you put it that way...<br /> '''Thancred:''' ...What choice do we have?<br /> '''Thancred:''' Well, of course I'm going with you─that's what family is for, isn't it?<br /> '''Thancred:''' Come. Let's head back and prepare for this mad journey of yours.<br /> '''Ryne:''' Thank you, Thancred...<br /> <br /> THOUGH BLAZING SKIES GIVE WAY TO GENTLE NIGHT,<br /> WHAT HAND CAN END THE WAR OF DARK AND LIGHT?</div>

A singularly dangerous endeavor, but one which holds no terror for him, knowing as he does that the perfect tools for the task are waiting for you at Top Rung.<br /> <br /> *The reason for Chai-Nuzz's uncharacteristic self-confidence soon becomes apparent when he shows you a crate filled with canisters whose contents can incapacitate Talos. Moreover, they can be thrown from a distance, making the task surprisingly risk-free. So risk-free, in fact, that Chai-Nuzz volunteers to do the deed himself. He still requires support, however, lest he run afoul of the local wildlife. To that end, you set out for the Quick Way in search of a vantage point from which to warn him of danger.<br /> <br /> *With heart in throat and canisters in hand, Chai-Nuzz braves the wilds of Kholusia, succeeding at length in subduing a trio of Talos. As the last of them succumbs, you see him pause, seemingly awestruck by the scale of his own achievement. Or perhaps injured. You rush down to be certain.<br /> <br /> *Your concerns vanish as you near a visibly elated Chai-Nuzz, now the proud owner of three Talos which he is eager to dispatch to Eulmore. After a few adjustments, they spring back to life, and he sends them marching off in the direction of the city.<br /> <br /> *At the end of a tiring trek through Kholusia, you arrive in Gatetown to find the Talos have attracted a crowd. Among them, you spy Lady Chai, who is near speechless at the sight of her husband. She duly rushes over to him, wasting no time in showing him the strength of her affection. A strength which renders him briefly unconscious.<br /> <br /> *Doubts finally assuaged, Wrenden expresses his admiration for Chai-Nuzz and the devotion of those close to him. Taking note of the chattering throng which has formed around the Talos, he declares that it will soon be time for the intrepid entrepreneur to address his fellow citizens as mayor.<br /> <br /> ==Dialogue==<br /> ===Accepting the Quest===<br /> <br /> (Optional)<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Do you see it? There is a fire in Master Chai's eyes that was not there when first we met. A fire we had best keep kindled if we wish to see Eulmore change for the better.<br /> <br /> (Optional)<br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' That Wrenden geezer doesn't seem so bad. What was Master Chai worried about? He's got to give himself a bit more credit!<br /> <br /> (Optional)<br /> '''Wrenden:''' You had a hand in constructing that giant Talos to the north, did you not?<br /> '''Wrenden:''' When the Eulmoran volunteers began arriving, I hid myself away, lest I be recognized...thus depriving myself of what I am reliably informed was a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. Bugger.<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Wrenden is quite right. Building Talos from scratch would require time we simply do not have.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Which is why I propose to make use of the long-abandoned Talos which wander the wilds of Kholusia.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' They will need to be deactivated, of course, and if memory serves, the tools required to do so should still be at Top Rung. Come with me.<br /> <br /> ====Optional dialogue====<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' It is one thing to repair an immobile Talos, as Urianger did, but quite another to ''catch'' one, surely? Does this not sound a trifle dangerous?<br /> <br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' How'd you catch a Talos, then? Dig a hole and lure it in?<br /> <br /> '''Wrenden:''' So he is an authority on Talos, is he? Hmph! What other surprises could he be hiding, I wonder...<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Chai-Nuzz===<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Aha! The old memory hasn't let me down!<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' This chest contains canisters filled with a dashedly potent insulating powder capable of halting the flow of aether in a Talos. We need only get within throwing distance of one and let fly.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' ...Thus disabling them without damaging them! Ingenious!<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' An old trick of the trade, nothing more. Once disabled, it should be a simple enough matter to get them to march to Eulmore. More extensive repairs can wait.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Ordinarily, this is where I would ask you to run along and do the deed, but as I have said before, it's high time we learned to stand on our own two feet.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Thankfully, throwing canisters is something even ''I'' should be able to manage.<br /> <br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' Come off it, Master Chai!<br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' Even if the Talos ain't a threat, there's a hundred and one other things out there waiting to make a meal of you!<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' That's as may be, Kai-Shirr, but Wrenden tasked me with solving this problem, and I will not sit idly by while others risk everything to see my harebrained schemes realized. Not this time!<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' ...Which isn't to say the mere thought of it doesn't fill me with dread. Truth be told, I can't feel my legs.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' But if I'm to prove I'm a man worth following, I must lead by example.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Well said, Master Chai!<br /> <br /> '''&lt;What will you say?&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;Hear, hear!&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;All right, but if there's any trouble, we call it off.&gt;'''<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Yes, well, it should go without saying that I have no intention of dying for this. I've always preferred ''living'' to see the fruits of my labors.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' And to make sure I do, I will require your help. It is as Kai-Shirr says─these lands are dangerous if one is not careful. I would ask you to use my spyglass to look out for any beasts that could get in the way of my work. I will also need you to alert me when it is safe to subdue the Talos. Understood?<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Good. Then let's be off to the Quick Way, through the north gate, and see if we can't find a suitable vantage point for you.<br /> <br /> ====Optional dialogue====<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' There is little point in us both shouting instructions. Keep him safe, [Forename].<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' All right. Nothing to worry about. Just a simple matter of sneaking up on the Talos while avoiding the slavering, bloodthirsty beasts lurking behind every rock. Child's play... Ahem. When you're ready, let us begin.<br /> <br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' Either Master Chai's off his nut, or this means more to him than he's been letting on.<br /> <br /> '''Wrenden:''' When first he arrived, I could barely hear him over the knocking of his knees. And now this. I'm not sure what's gotten into him, but whatever it is, I like it.<br /> <br /> ===Guide Chai-Nuzz from the vantage point===<br /> <br /> '''(After disabling the first Talos)'''<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' I...I did it? I did it! Let's move on to another Talos, shall we?<br /> <br /> '''(After disabling the second Talos)'''<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' I do believe I'm getting the hang of this.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' You may leave the next one to me, [Forename].<br /> <br /> '''(After disabling the third Talos)'''<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Haha! That should do it! Now we have all we need to proceed.<br /> <br /> ====Optional dialogue====<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Our friend with nary a scratch. Well done.<br /> <br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' Blimey... Thought my heart was going to stop for a moment there. Make that a couple of moments.<br /> <br /> '''Wrenden:''' It would seem I misjudged Master Chai. There may yet be hope for Eulmore.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Chai-Nuzz===<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' I can scarcely believe it. It was a reckless, foolish plan. But somehow...it worked.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' I...I did it.<br /> <br /> '''Wrenden:''' Master Chai. I believe I owe you an apology.<br /> '''Wrenden:''' Your plan to replenish Eulmore's food stores showed forethought and sound judgment. What's more, it is plain your time at Daedalus Stoneworks has equipped you to lead, as evidenced by the extraordinary company you keep.<br /> '''Wrenden:''' You, sir, are more than qualified to be the next mayor of Eulmore.<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' I thank you for your vote of confidence, but the fact remains, I am wholly ignorant of the world of politics.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Which is why I would ask you to join me, and grant Eulmore the benefit of your counsel.<br /> <br /> '''Wrenden:''' I would be honored.<br /> '''Wrenden:''' When the people behold these Talos, I have no doubt they will lend you their support.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' It would seem Eulmore's leadership is at last in capable hands, would you not agree?<br /> <br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' We should probably be getting back soon, Master Chai. After you've tinkered with the Talos and all that. Lady Chai's worried sick.<br /> <br /> ====Cutscene====<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Right. Right, then. Form a line and make for Eulmore!<br /> <br /> '''Begrimed Townsman:''' Hm? What's that noise?<br /> '''Begrimed Townsman:''' Wicked white! Runaway Talos!<br /> '''Begrimed Townsman:''' Call the guard!<br /> <br /> '''Eulmoran Soldier:''' Stay back, all of you!<br /> <br /> '''Dulia-Chai:''' Is that...!?<br /> <br /> '''Dulia-Chai:''' Darling, you're back!<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Well of course I'm back. You didn't s─<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Dear─ Dearest─ I─ I can't─<br /> <br /> '''Dulia-Chai:''' Oh! Oh dear...<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Thank you.<br /> <br /> '''Dulia-Chai:''' I'm sorry, my darling... It's just, the sight of you filled me with such joy, I couldn't help myself...<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' It's all right, dear. I should just have come out and said what it was I was intending, instead of entrusting the task to a hastily scribbled letter.<br /> <br /> '''Dulia-Chai:''' Does that mean you'll do it?<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Well, I'm here, aren't I? I mean, not that my absence signified any unwillingness, you understand.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Naught could be further from the truth! I only left to enlist the aid of the former mayor's senior advisor.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' And now that I have it, I believe I am ready to take office.<br /> <br /> '''Dulia-Chai:''' Oh, how wonderful!<br /> <br /> ====Optional dialogue====<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' I daresay the future of Eulmore has never looked brighter.<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' &lt;cough&gt; &lt;cough&gt; I...I'm fine... I just need...a moment... &lt;wheeze&gt;<br /> <br /> '''Dulia-Chai:''' Thank you again for finding my husband. I confess, I was not expecting your return to be quite so grand!<br /> '''Dulia-Chai:''' That dear, sweet man. He is going to make the most wonderful mayor. I just know it!<br /> <br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' Sorry I wasn't much help. Still, seeing Master Chai go after those Talos was something, eh? Inspiring stuff.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Wrenden===<br /> <br /> '''Wrenden:''' That was quite a reception. One Master Chai will struggle to forget.<br /> '''Wrenden:''' More seriously, the arrival of the Talos has seized the public's attention.<br /> '''Wrenden:''' Once word has spread around Eulmore, it will be that much simpler to gather one and all so that Master Chai can make his inaugural address.</div>

More extensive repairs can wait.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Ordinarily, this is where I would ask you to run along and do the deed, but as I have said before, it's high time we learned to stand on our own two feet.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Thankfully, throwing canisters is something even ''I'' should be able to manage.<br /> <br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' Come off it, Master Chai!<br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' Even if the Talos ain't a threat, there's a hundred and one other things out there waiting to make a meal of you!<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' That's as may be, Kai-Shirr, but Wrenden tasked me with solving this problem, and I will not sit idly by while others risk everything to see my harebrained schemes realized. Not this time!<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' ...Which isn't to say the mere thought of it doesn't fill me with dread. Truth be told, I can't feel my legs.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' But if I'm to prove I'm a man worth following, I must lead by example.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Well said, Master Chai!<br /> <br /> '''&lt;What will you say?&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;Hear, hear!&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;All right, but if there's any trouble, we call it off.&gt;'''<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Yes, well, it should go without saying that I have no intention of dying for this. I've always preferred ''living'' to see the fruits of my labors.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' And to make sure I do, I will require your help. It is as Kai-Shirr says─these lands are dangerous if one is not careful. I would ask you to use my spyglass to look out for any beasts that could get in the way of my work. I will also need you to alert me when it is safe to subdue the Talos. Understood?<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Good. Then let's be off to the Quick Way, through the north gate, and see if we can't find a suitable vantage point for you.<br /> <br /> ====Optional dialogue====<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' There is little point in us both shouting instructions. Keep him safe, [Forename].<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' All right. Nothing to worry about. Just a simple matter of sneaking up on the Talos while avoiding the slavering, bloodthirsty beasts lurking behind every rock. Child's play... Ahem. When you're ready, let us begin.<br /> <br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' Either Master Chai's off his nut, or this means more to him than he's been letting on.<br /> <br /> '''Wrenden:''' When first he arrived, I could barely hear him over the knocking of his knees. And now this. I'm not sure what's gotten into him, but whatever it is, I like it.<br /> <br /> ===Guide Chai-Nuzz from the vantage point===<br /> <br /> '''(After disabling the first Talos)'''<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' I...I did it? I did it! Let's move on to another Talos, shall we?<br /> <br /> '''(After disabling the second Talos)'''<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' I do believe I'm getting the hang of this.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' You may leave the next one to me, [Forename].<br /> <br /> '''(After disabling the third Talos)'''<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Haha! That should do it! Now we have all we need to proceed.<br /> <br /> ====Optional dialogue====<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Our friend with nary a scratch. Well done.<br /> <br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' Blimey... Thought my heart was going to stop for a moment there. Make that a couple of moments.<br /> <br /> '''Wrenden:''' It would seem I misjudged Master Chai. There may yet be hope for Eulmore.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Chai-Nuzz===<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' I can scarcely believe it. It was a reckless, foolish plan. But somehow...it worked.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' I...I did it.<br /> <br /> '''Wrenden:''' Master Chai. I believe I owe you an apology.<br /> '''Wrenden:''' Your plan to replenish Eulmore's food stores showed forethought and sound judgment. What's more, it is plain your time at Daedalus Stoneworks has equipped you to lead, as evidenced by the extraordinary company you keep.<br /> '''Wrenden:''' You, sir, are more than qualified to be the next mayor of Eulmore.<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' I thank you for your vote of confidence, but the fact remains, I am wholly ignorant of the world of politics.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Which is why I would ask you to join me, and grant Eulmore the benefit of your counsel.<br /> <br /> '''Wrenden:''' I would be honored.<br /> '''Wrenden:''' When the people behold these Talos, I have no doubt they will lend you their support.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' It would seem Eulmore's leadership is at last in capable hands, would you not agree?<br /> <br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' We should probably be getting back soon, Master Chai. After you've tinkered with the Talos and all that. Lady Chai's worried sick.<br /> <br /> ====Cutscene====<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Right. Right, then. Form a line and make for Eulmore!<br /> <br /> '''Begrimed Townsman:''' Hm? What's that noise?<br /> '''Begrimed Townsman:''' Wicked white! Runaway Talos!<br /> '''Begrimed Townsman:''' Call the guard!<br /> <br /> '''Eulmoran Soldier:''' Stay back, all of you!<br /> <br /> '''Dulia-Chai:''' Is that...!?<br /> <br /> '''Dulia-Chai:''' Darling, you're back!<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Well of course I'm back. You didn't s─<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Dear─ Dearest─ I─ I can't─<br /> <br /> '''Dulia-Chai:''' Oh! Oh dear...<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Thank you.<br /> <br /> '''Dulia-Chai:''' I'm sorry, my darling... It's just, the sight of you filled me with such joy, I couldn't help myself...<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' It's all right, dear. I should just have come out and said what it was I was intending, instead of entrusting the task to a hastily scribbled letter.<br /> <br /> '''Dulia-Chai:''' Does that mean you'll do it?<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Well, I'm here, aren't I? I mean, not that my absence signified any unwillingness, you understand.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Naught could be further from the truth! I only left to enlist the aid of the former mayor's senior advisor.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' And now that I have it, I believe I am ready to take office.<br /> <br /> '''Dulia-Chai:''' Oh, how wonderful!<br /> <br /> ====Optional dialogue====<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' I daresay the future of Eulmore has never looked brighter.<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' &lt;cough&gt; &lt;cough&gt; I...I'm fine... I just need...a moment... &lt;wheeze&gt;<br /> <br /> '''Dulia-Chai:''' Thank you again for finding my husband. I confess, I was not expecting your return to be quite so grand!<br /> '''Dulia-Chai:''' That dear, sweet man. He is going to make the most wonderful mayor. I just know it!<br /> <br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' Sorry I wasn't much help. Still, seeing Master Chai go after those Talos was something, eh? Inspiring stuff.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Wrenden===<br /> <br /> '''Wrenden:''' That was quite a reception. One Master Chai will struggle to forget.<br /> '''Wrenden:''' More seriously, the arrival of the Talos has seized the public's attention.<br /> '''Wrenden:''' Once word has spread around Eulmore, it will be that much simpler to gather one and all so that Master Chai can make his inaugural address.</div>

A singularly dangerous endeavor, but one which holds no terror for him, knowing as he does that the perfect tools for the task are waiting for you at Top Rung.<br /> <br /> *The reason for Chai-Nuzz's uncharacteristic self-confidence soon becomes apparent when he shows you a crate filled with canisters whose contents can incapacitate Talos. Moreover, they can be thrown from a distance, making the task surprisingly risk-free. So risk-free, in fact, that Chai-Nuzz volunteers to do the deed himself. He still requires support, however, lest he run afoul of the local wildlife. To that end, you set out for the Quick Way in search of a vantage point from which to warn him of danger.<br /> <br /> *With heart in throat and canisters in hand, Chai-Nuzz braves the wilds of Kholusia, succeeding at length in subduing a trio of Talos. As the last of them succumbs, you see him pause, seemingly awestruck by the scale of his own achievement. Or perhaps injured. You rush down to be certain.<br /> <br /> *Your concerns vanish as you near a visibly elated Chai-Nuzz, now the proud owner of three Talos which he is eager to dispatch to Eulmore. After a few adjustments, they spring back to life, and he sends them marching off in the direction of the city.<br /> <br /> *At the end of a tiring trek through Kholusia, you arrive in Gatetown to find the Talos have attracted a crowd. Among them, you spy Lady Chai, who is near speechless at the sight of her husband. She duly rushes over to him, wasting no time in showing him the strength of her affection. A strength which renders him briefly unconscious.<br /> <br /> *Doubts finally assuaged, Wrenden expresses his admiration for Chai-Nuzz and the devotion of those close to him. Taking note of the chattering throng which has formed around the Talos, he declares that it will soon be time for the intrepid entrepreneur to address his fellow citizens as mayor.<br /> <br /> ==Dialogue==<br /> ===Accepting the Quest===<br /> <br /> (Optional)<br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' That Wrenden geezer doesn't seem so bad. What was Master Chai worried about? He's got to give himself a bit more credit!<br /> <br /> (Optional)<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Do you see it? There is a fire in Master Chai's eyes that was not there when first we met. A fire we had best keep kindled if we wish to see Eulmore change for the better.<br /> <br /> (Optional)<br /> '''Wrenden:''' You had a hand in constructing that giant Talos to the north, did you not?<br /> '''Wrenden:''' When the Eulmoran volunteers began arriving, I hid myself away, lest I be recognized...thus depriving myself of what I am reliably informed was a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. Bugger.<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Wrenden is quite right. Building Talos from scratch would require time we simply do not have.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Which is why I propose to make use of the long-abandoned Talos which wander the wilds of Kholusia.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' They will need to be deactivated, of course, and if memory serves, the tools required to do so should still be at Top Rung. Come with me.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Chai-Nuzz===<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Aha! The old memory hasn't let me down!<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' This chest contains canisters filled with a dashedly potent insulating powder capable of halting the flow of aether in a Talos. We need only get within throwing distance of one and let fly.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' ...Thus disabling them without damaging them! Ingenious!<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' An old trick of the trade, nothing more. Once disabled, it should be a simple enough matter to get them to march to Eulmore.

Gatetown I leave to you, Kai-Shirr.<br /> <br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' Fair enough. Where should we meet when we've finished?<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Well...Top Rung would seem to me to be his next most likely destination.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Let us reconvene there. With any luck, one of us will have stumbled upon him by then, but if not, we will be well situated to continue our search.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Hastelot===<br /> <br /> '''Hastelot:''' ...No, the name doesn't ring any bells. But there ''was'' a rather dapper-looking Mystel gentleman here not long ago. He wanted to talk about the relations between Wright and Eulmore─or rather the lack of them.<br /> '''Hastelot:''' We lost a great many people to their promises of meol and the chance of a lavish life among the free.<br /> '''Hastelot:''' And Vauthry thought to take even more from us, conscripting the few able-bodied men we had left to guard his ''paradise''.<br /> '''Hastelot:''' I needn't tell you what happened when the sin eaters came...Such things are hard to forgive.<br /> '''Hastelot:''' But Vauthry's gone now, and we're curious to see what will become of Eulmore in his absence.<br /> '''Hastelot:''' That's what I told your friend...Chai-Nuzz, was it? And I'm sure the others said the same. Not what he wanted to hear, I suppose, because he left soon after. And that was that.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Alphinaud===<br /> <br /> '''(Optional)'''<br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' Turns out Master Chai was over in Gatetown too. He spoke to a few of the residents, apparently. They told me they'd never seen a posh bloke look so miserable.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' So he paid a visit to both Wright and Gatetown as well, did he?<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' I see. Kai-Shirr and I gleaned much the same.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' He seems determined to salvage what goodwill might yet remain among the settlements of Kholusia, the only likely place he has left to go being Amity.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Come. If we are quick, we may yet catch up with him.<br /> <br /> ===Search for Chai-Nuzz===<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' [Forename]! Alphinaud! Kai-Shirr! Wh-What are you doing here!?<br /> <br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' We might ask you the same, Master Chai. We have been looking all over for you.<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Looking for me? Whatever for?<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Lady Chai has been nigh inconsolable in your absence. She claims you disappeared without so much as a word, and bade us return you to her side.<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' What in blazes are you talking about? I left a letter for her in our chambers.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Though I suppose she ''could'' have overlooked it...And when she gets an idea into her head...&lt;sigh&gt; I can only apologize.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' No harm done, Master Chai. But since we are here, might I ask what compelled you to come all this way?<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' We were told you had been elected mayor, and from what we have gathered from the nearby villages, you have been inquiring about the people's grievances.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Is it safe to assume you meant to take office?<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Now, now, let's not jump to conclusions!<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' I ''did'' seek to learn about the problems faced by the people of Kholusia, that much is true. But I am by no means sure I am the man to solve them.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Tackling our many challengers will require resources, and until I have secured them, it would not be right to assume the role of mayor.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' I see. And you believe said resources can be found here?<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Indeed. The people's grievances are many, but in the course of my inquiries, I have already met with several individuals willing to lend their aid in addressing them.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' However, there remains one individual crucial to my plans. A man whose counsel might yet make a mayor of me.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' With respect, such forethought is, in itself, proof of your suitability.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' The city needs you, Master Chai. And I am certain this man of whom you speak─whoever he may be─will reach the same conclusion. For what little it is worth, we will vouch for you should he require convincing.<br /> <br /> '''&lt;What will you say&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;Whatever you need, you can count on us.&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;We believe in you, Master Chai!&gt;'''<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' I...I don't know what to say...<br /> <br /> '''Kai-Shurr:''' You don't need to say anything. You've got your actions to speak for you.<br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' For as long as I can remember, all I ever wanted was to make it into Eulmore. But that dream's gone now, burst like a bubble─or a boil, more like.<br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' Anyway, outside of repaying Master Alphinaud, I haven't had a clue what to do with myself. Spent most days in a daze. But you? You've been running up and down, trying to find a way to fix this mess for everyone.<br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' And I reckon you can do it. You got this lot up Mt. Gulg, didn't you? How hard could mayoring be? You're going to steer Eulmore to a better future, I know it.<br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' And I want to help. Properly help. Do something that makes a difference.<br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' I don't know what it is yet, but I'll work it out on the way. If you let me come with you, that is.<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' You give me entirely too much credit, the lot of you...but I can't deny it gives me heart. Come, then. Let us pres on together.<br /> <br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' Thank you, Master Chai!<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' But we mustn't get ahead of ourselves. Eulmore needs more than a man with good intentions. Which is why I am here─to find one with the experience needed to see the city thrive.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Who is this man, exactly, and are you certain he's here in Amity?<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Wrenden is his name, and yes, he is. Or was. I had scarcely begun to explain myself when he decided his time was better spent elsewhere.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' He served as chief advisor to Vauthry's father when he was in office.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' If Ran'jit was the mayor's right hand, one might say Wrenden was the left, and between them, they kept Eulmore on the road to prosperity.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' The city needs more than a mere man of business─which is why I must find him.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' But even if you do, what makes you think he will listen?<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Before giving chase, might it not be wise to speak with those who know him, here in Amity? They may be able to shed some light on his reason for rejecting your overtures out of hand.<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Yes, I suppose that makes sense. Perhaps we should start with Tristol, then. As I recall, you made a rather favourable impression on him. I'm certain he would be willing to talk to us.<br /> <br /> ====Optional dialogue====<br /> <br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' I reckon Eulmore could learn a thing or two from Amity about standing on its own two feet. Then again, so could I.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' According to Master Chai, this Wrenden fellow occupied a position of considerable influence in the Eulmoran leadership. Which begs the question: why did he choose to leave?<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' I realize it was me who suggested speaking with Tristol, but who's to say he will be any more receptive than Wrenden? Why should ''any'' of them give me the time of day? ...Bah, that's no way to think. Ignore me.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Tristol===<br /> <br /> '''Tristol:''' Greetings, friend. And to you too, Master Chai. I presume you are here to ask after Wrenden? I couldn't help overhearing your earlier...exchange.<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Yes, well...with Vauthry gone, Eulmore wants for a leader. Should no one rise to the challenge, the city could very well collapse. I came here seeking Wrenden's counsel in the hope that we could build a better Eulmore togehter─and that is still my wish. But given how abominably you were mistreated there, I will quite understand if you choose not to help.<br /> <br /> '''Tristol:''' Worry not, Master Chai. I bear no grudge against you or the people of Eulmore, and I would not see you suffer for Vauthry's villainy.<br /> '''Tristol:''' As you no doubt gathered from your meeting earlier, Wrenden can be rather uncompromising. He has his principles, you see, and little patience for anyone he deems less committed to their own.<br /> '''Tristol:''' Your desire to right the wrongs of your past, of Eulmore's past, is quite admirable. But I fear the guilt you bear on the city's behalf works against you.<br /> '''Tristol:''' I can see it in your eyes, in the way you carry yourself. It goes without saying he sees it as well. You must let those feelings go, Master Chai. Be more assertive─''commit to this course''─and prove to him Eulmore has the resolve to change.<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' The resolve to change...<br /> <br /> '''Tristol:''' I believe he was heading towards Pit 8 when he left. If you plan to go and speak with him, I suggest you be firm and clear in your intentions.<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Very well. To Pit 8 we shall go. And I will not take no for an answer. Nay, not even a maybe!<br /> <br /> ====Optional dialogue====<br /> <br /> '''Tristol:''' Despite our previous...artistic differences, I do believe Master Chai means what he says. But until ''he'' starts believing it, I fear it won't amount to an awful lot.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Wrenden (cutscene)===<br /> '''Wrenden:''' Well, well... It's you again...<br /> '''Wrenden:''' And I see you've invited your friends. Need them to fight your battles for you, do you?<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' I didn't invite them, as it happens...though they are indeed my friends. Not only mine, but every true Eulmoran's.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' They are the ones who awakened us to the truth─to Lord Vauthry's villainy. The famous Warriors of Darkness.<br /> <br /> '''Wrenden:''' Are they now...<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Yes. They are. It would be no exaggeration to call them our saviors. We owe much and more to their kindness. But we cannot depend on that kindness forever.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' To do so would be little different from entrusting our affairs to Lord Vauthry. Nay, we must learn to stand on our own two feet, and I would have them present to witness my attempt.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Hear, hear, Master Chai!<br /> <br /> '''Wrenden:''' Your sentiments are admirable. Yet admirable sentiments do not a nation make.<br /> '''Wrenden:''' In my capacity as advisor, I once strove to build a better Eulmore. Gave honest counsel to my superiors. Drafted laws for the benefit of one and all...<br /> '''Wrenden:''' But in time, my values fell out of favor. There was no need for them in this paradise Vauthry was creating. And so I left my homeland behind.<br /> '''Wrenden:''' But you, Chai-Nuzz─you were content to wallow in indolence under Vauthry's auspieces. And so I cannot help but ask myself what manner of nation you intend to build.<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' I...I can offer no simple answer to that question.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' But this much I will say...<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' It is my hope that Eulmore can become a nation which her citizens might freely choose to build together.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' A great many people─myself included─flocked to Eulmore seeking sanctuary. The alternative being to live in fear and die in pain, it seemed an easy choice.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' And sanctuary we found. As much food and drink as we could ever want, secured at the cost of the surrounding villages. Little wonder the people gathered at our doorstep, begging to work among the bonded.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' The free were blind to it all, of course. Content to─as you say─wallow in indolence. In ignorance...<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Were I mayor, I would first take stock of the city's resources, and see that they were assigned equitably. Our days of reckless consumption are behind us.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' The distinction between free and bonded died with Vauthry. The needs of rich and poor alike must be considered if our nation is to survive.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' To which end, I would take steps to secure channels for supplies, rekindle relations with nearby settlements, reestablish industry, reach out to neighboring nations...and the list goes on and on.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' But I am no ruler, nor even a politician─I am an entrepreneur.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' My expertise lie in planning and profit. I haven't the knowledge or experience to run a nation.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Please, Wrenden. Will you not help me? Together, we could solve the city's problems. Build a Eulmore for the people.<br /> <br /> '''Wrenden:''' A Eulmore for the people...<br /> '''Wrenden:''' I rather like the sound of that.<br /> '''Wrenden:''' But before I offer you my counsel, I would be certain of your ability to perform the duties of office.<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' You would? <br /> <br /> '''Wrenden:''' You ask me to help you solve Eulmore's problems, but first, I would see you solve one on your own. Accomplish that, and you will prove both to me and the people that you are a man worth following.<br /> <br /> ====Optional dialogue====<br /> '''Wrenden:''' It remains to be seen if his words will translate into deeds, but I shall endeavor to keep an open mind.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' People cannot be brought together on the strength of high ideals alone. This I know from painful experience. Wrenden was right to demand proof of Master Chai's commitment.<br /> <br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' Imagine it...A Eulmore that even a bloke like me could help to build...<br /> <br /> ===Speak with Chai-Nuzz===<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Ahem! Right, then. Is there a particular issue you would have me resolve?<br /> <br /> '''Wrenden:''' You seem to have conducted an assessment of the problems Eulmore now faces. I assume you will agree, therefore, that the matter of dwindling food stores is the most pressing.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Ah, yes... Meol being neither a desirable, nor less ''sustainable'' option, I assume alternative foodstuffs are now required to fill the void.<br /> <br /> '''Wrenden:''' And a man who hungers is not like to contribute much to society...save violence, perhaps.<br /> '''Wrenden:''' So tell me: how do you propose to solve this problem? Give me a satisfactory answer, and I will consider offering you my counsel.<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Hmmm... A combination of measures would seem to be in order. One to address the immediate issue of supply, and another, that of production.<br /> <br /> '''Wrenden:''' Go on...<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' For the present, Eulmore's coffers can be used to purchase food from our neighbors. This would afford us time to address the underlying problem that affects us all─the long-standing neglect of agriculture.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' The villages that once served as sources of trade for foodstuffs must be repopulated, their means of production restored.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' This assumes, of course, that we can rekindle relations with our neighbors, guarantee security and stability in the region, and most importantly, find people willing to leave the city and take up the rebuilding effort.<br /> <br /> '''Wrenden:''' My, my... Think of that all by yourself, did you?<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Well...yes. It began as a rather abstract plan I drafted some time ago, after speaking with the peoples of Eulmore and the nearby settlements.<br /> <br /> '''Wrenden:''' Hmph.<br /> ...You've impressed me, Chai-Nuzz.<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Uh─I have? Well, that ''is'' a relief!<br /> <br /> '''Wrenden:''' Oh, you haven't secured my support just yet. Only my attention. Grand plans will not be enough to persuade the masses. If you would ask them to rebuild, you must provide them the means to do so.<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' A fair point, Wrenden. And one to which I have given much thought. I propose the use of Talos to aid in the establishment and maintenance of these settlements. Their employment should drastically improve efficiency, and ultimately increase production.<br /> <br /> '''Wrenden:''' ''Talos''? But Daedalus Stoneworks closed their doors years ago. Without a ready supply of the necessary equipment, the people would starve before your plans could be put into effect.<br /> <br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' Well, as the heir to Daedalus Stoneworks, it just so happens that Talos are my field of expertise.<br /> '''Chai-Nuzz:''' And with a little help, I'm quite certain we can acquire what we need in no time at all.</div>

But even if he had, he would not have done so unobserved.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' ''Someone'' here will have seen something. I am sure of it.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' We should split up and inquire as to whether anyone saw him leave or, failing that, if they have any idea where he might have gone. I will meet you at the Glory Gate to compare notes later on.<br /> <br /> ====Optional dialogue====<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' It would seem Master Chai paid a visit to the Beehive before taking his leave of Eulmore. Unfortunately, the patrons I spoke with were too deep in their cups to remember aught else.<br /> <br /> ===Gather information in the Canopy===<br /> <br /> '''Mowen:''' Master Chai? Why yes, I spoke with him recently, though I recall he was in a rather dour mood. Concerned about Eulmore's neglect of industry, you see.<br /> '''Mowen:''' With Lord Vauthry's apparently inexhaustible stores of meol, and no great need for money, it's little wonder our businesses were all but forgotten under his rule.<br /> '''Mowen:''' But I assured Master Chai that the Boutique of Splendors will do all it can to contribute to the revival of trade here in Eulmore - which seemed to satisfy him. He took his leave soon after.<br /> <br /> ''Your exchange with Mowen has taught you about &quot;The stagnant state of business in Eulmore.&quot;''<br /> <br /> ===Gather information in the Buttress===<br /> <br /> '''Cornenne:''' Looking for Master Chai, are you? Is something amiss? When last I saw him, he seemed ready to collapse from exhaustion. I insisted he rest and catch his breath, and we talked for a while - about his concerns over the city's defenses amongst other things.<br /> '''Cornenne:''' He made more than a few valid points. Many of our men are still recovering after your confrontation with Lord Vauthry, and finding General Ran'jit in a heap in the middle of the plaza shook us all to the core.<br /> '''Cornenne:''' The man commanded no small amount of loyalty, and some of our longest-serving soldiers seemed lost without him. Indeed, a number of them left.<br /> '''Cornenne:''' N-Not that we blame ''you'', of course. Without you and yours, we would still be blind to the error of our ways.<br /> '''Cornenne:''' Anyway...funding permitting, I proposed replenishing our ranks with volunteers from the Derelicts and Gatetown.<br /> '''Cornenne:''' We have a duty to protect not only Eulmore, you see, but the surrounding regions of Kholusia as well, and I for one would welcome any man or woman willing to take up arms for that cause. Indeed, I told him as much, and he seemed relieved to hear it. It was on that note that we parted ways. He headed outside, as I recall.<br /> <br /> ''Your exchange with Cornenne has taught you about &quot;The perilous state of Eulmore's defenses.&quot;''<br /> <br /> ===Gather information in the Derelicts===<br /> <br /> '''Hathenbet:''' Aye, I recall a man fittin' that description. Asked to speak with the poor buggers lately come from Wright.<br /> '''Hathenbet:''' Said he wanted to know the state of things down in the Derelicts. And you can be sure we gave him an earful. Lack of food, medicine, clothin' - there was plenty to tell.<br /> '''Hathenbet:''' We hunt high and low for whatever we can scavenge, and it's barely enough to fill our bellies. But folk here don't just want to survive, they want to thrive!<br /> '''Hathenbet:''' When he heard that, he started mumblin' to himself. Something' about findin' us work, I think.<br /> '''Hathenbet:''' Fair play to him, though - not content with havin' his ear chewed about the Derelicts, he asked about the other settlements an' all. After that, I can't really say. Looked like he was headed for Gatetown when I last saw him.<br /> <br /> ''Your exchange with Hathenbet has taught you about &quot;The poor living conditions of Kholusia's downtrodden.&quot;''<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Speak with Alphinaud===<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Ah, there you are. How did you fare? Have you learned anything which might offer a clue as to Master Chai's whereabouts?<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Interesting...<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' He apparently paid a visit to the Queen Bee as well.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' They discussed the possibility of granting admission to customers from outside Eulmore, an idea to which the proprietor was surprisingly receptive.<br /> <br /> '''Kai-Shirr:''' Sounds like he's got big plans for the place. Eulmore, I mean - not the Bee.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Perhaps. But the question remains - where did he go after leaving the city?</div>

Your companions rise shakily to their feet, Urianger's face in particular a mask of relief...<br /> ** ※In the event that you leave the area, speak with Inewyl at Venmont Yards in Kholusia to return to the Tempest.<br /> <br /> * Releasing a long-held breath, Urianger announces your safe arrival in the Tempest. Suspecting that Emet-Selch cannot risk fleeing into the rift while the Exarch is his prisoner, he seems confident that the Ascian is to be found somewhere within this underwater realm. You have only to begin the search... <br /> <br /> ==Dialogue==<br /> ===Quest Acceptance===<br /> '''Urianger:''' Thine affairs are in order? Then I shall unfold to thee my proposal.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Our destination is the ocean floor, yet our goal is not simply to arrive there. Nay, we must needs have the means to breathe and fight freely.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Thus would I petition the aid of one of the fae─a being with whom I have yet to meet face-to-face.<br /> '''Urianger:''' ...Rather than waste words on explanation, I bid thee follow me unto the hamlet of Sullen, which lieth to the south and west. All will become abundantly clear, I promise thee.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with [[Urianger]] in [[Sullen]]===<br /> '''Urianger:''' There, to the west. Canst thou discern the hump of an isle rising above the water?<br /> '''Urianger:''' That foliage-covered mass hideth the key to our safe descent. Swim close and plunge thee beneath the surface. Thou shalt soon divine the reason for mine insistence.<br /> '''Urianger:''' ...Though it be much to my shame, I can but flail and flounder where thou mayest glide as a fish. I shall board a boat to the island, and spare one and all the spectacle of mine inept strokes.<br /> <br /> ===Investigate suspect rock formations beneath the water's surface=== <br /> ''Though it appears solid enough, the rock yields slightly under your touch. Was the surface gently shifting, or was it just your imagination...?''<br /> ''Two curved slabs of rock seem squeezed together here, giving the impression of giant stone eyelids.''<br /> <br /> ===Speak with [[Urianger]]===<br /> '''Urianger:''' Well? What hast thou discerned?<br /> ''What will you say? I've discerned...that it's an ordinary island? / It reminds me of a certain primal.../ It's just like the Big One, yes, yes!''-&gt; It's just like the Big One, yes, yes!<br /> '''Urianger:''' Hah! Thine ''impression'' is not inaccurate. According to the lore of the pixies, we are, even now, perched upon the back of an ancient fae entity...<br /> '''Urianger:''' Its name is “Bismarck.” Aye, the selfsame title by which we know the great feathered whale revered by the Vanu Vanu of the Source.<br /> '''Urianger:''' I would enlist its aid to bear us unto the deep, and thence banish the water with an airy sphere, alike in form to the domes which do shelter the hamlets 'neath the Ruby Sea.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Within its compass, we may move unencumbered, and defend ourselves when the hour of battle cometh, as it most surely shall. Now, I must needs ask for silence whilst I make my supplication...<br /> <br /> ''Urianger kneels towards part of the island''<br /> '''Urianger:''' [O great and serene Bismarck.]<br /> '''Bismarck:''' [Long has it been since my name was called.]<br /> '''Bismarck:''' [Why do you wake me, little neighbor?]<br /> '''Urianger:''' [To the bottom of the western sea we go. Pray lend us your back and your breath.]<br /> '''Bismarck:''' [This world is in twilight. I wait for the sun to set. I wish only to sleep.]<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Oh dear. I don't need to speak Fae to know that didn't go well...<br /> <br /> ''What will you say? I know what to do! / We need Feo Ul!'' -&gt; We need Feo Ul!<br /> '''Feo Ul:''' My [adorable sapling]! You've learned to call me at last!<br /> '''Feo Ul:''' And where do you go? On a trip? A journey? I ''knew'' you wouldn't give up without a fight!<br /> '''Feo Ul:''' Oh, my precious mortal. I shall help you in any way I can!<br /> '''Feo Ul:''' [Sleepy Bismarck, you old pixie! These are my precious, precious saplings.]<br /> '''Feo Ul:''' [Let their wish be the king's command.]<br /> '''Bismarck:''' [What a rare thing to awaken to.]<br /> '''Bismarck:''' [My beautiful king. If it be thy wish, then so shall it be done.]<br /> '''Feo Ul:''' Be sure to scrub this one's teeth for him upon your return. It's only good manners.<br /> '''Urianger:''' It will be done, Your Majesty. Our deepest thanks for your timely intervention.<br /> '''Feo Ul:''' An agreement is reached, and your departure is at hand! You wingless ones best hold on tight!<br /> '''Feo Ul:''' May the blessings of the fae keep you safe, [shining souls]!<br /> '''Bismarck:''' [To the western sea we go. Wrapped in my breath, I will see you to your destination, little neighbors.] ''Bismarck begins to move, and swims through the air''<br /> <br /> ===Irvithe and Grithil at the docks===<br /> '''Irvithe:''' And just like that, it's all gone back to the way it was... ''Irvithe is looking out towards the sea''<br /> '''Grithil:''' What was you expecting? Hundred years of honey and rainbows?<br /> '''Grithil:''' Seeing them Eulmore types wake up and smell the ashes was miracle enough for me.<br /> '''Irvithe:''' Ah, but the magic in the air when that Ladder started moving...hah! And when that great hulking Talos rose up, ''gods''...<br /> '''Irvithe:''' I could live a thousand years and never behold anything so amazing... (''Irvithe's back is to Grithil'')<br /> '''Grithil:''' What the─! Do you see that!? (''Irvithe sees Bismarck dive into the ocean'')<br /> '''Irvithe:''' (''Excited'') What a monster! Where did it even come from!?<br /> <br /> '''Grithil:''' Uh, wha... Wh-Whoa there... (''A giant tsunami is headed towards Irvithe and Grithil'')<br /> '''Irvithe:''' It's not stopping...<br /> '''Irvithe:''' Run! Run!<br /> <br /> ===At the Tempest===<br /> '''Bismarck:''' [I have fulfilled my duty. I return now to the lake.]<br /> '''Bismarck:''' [I have not flown in an age. It was...pleasant. May your journey be a safe one, little neighbors.]<br /> ''Everyone is recovering on the ground, and stirring''<br /> '''Ryne:''' Wow...<br /> <br /> ''' ''Narrated by Ardbert'':''' The breath of Bismarck. See how it swells to form a dome beneath the waves...The waters recede. The Tempest's floor is laid bare. In defiance of the blinding sky, this place holds fast to its gloom. The last refuge of he who denies the Light with every fiber of his being. You stand at the precipice, hero. Journey unto the Heart of Darkness. Finish it. <br /> <br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' I daresay Urianger endured much “playful” attention from the pixies to learn the lore of Bismarck. He is nothing if not a dedicated scholar.<br /> '''Thancred:''' With all that water out of the way, we'll be able to venture quite some distance. Emet-Selch must be hiding around here somewhere...<br /> '''Ryne:''' This is ''amazing''. I can't even see the surface!<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Bismarck must be powerful indeed to create a dome of this size. I can only pray to whichever gods are listening that it continues to hold...<br /> '''Alisaie:''' I remember being impressed by the domes of the Ruby Sea, but this makes them look like bubbles in a stream!<br /> <br /> ===Speak with [[Urianger]]===<br /> '''Urianger:''' Haaa... Haaa...&lt;gulp&gt;<br /> Full glad am I...that Bismarck was true to his word.<br /> '''Urianger:''' We are arrived in the Tempest, safe and dry. 'Tis here that we shall find the lair of Emet-Selch, and, I believe, the imprisoned Exarch as well.<br /> '''Urianger:''' For an Ascian alone, it is of course a trifling matter to flee unto the rift─yet I suspect such travel is nigh impossible with a mortal in one's custody.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Nay, he would not soon risk his prize when the Exarch's very body serveth as the key to the Crystal Tower and its powers of temporal transportation.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Thus am I all but certain that this underwater realm harboreth our friend and enemy both. We have but to find them.<br /> <br /> ''In the event that you leave the area, speak with Inewyl at Venmont Yards in Kholusia to return to the Tempest.''</div>

She bids you return to the Crystarium, and meet her in the Ocular.<br /> <br /> * You enter the heart of the Crystal Tower and a vision from the past washes over you. The Echo stretches on for what feels like many long minutes as you witness the Exarch reveal the truth of his motivations to a stunned Urianger. G'raha Tia─for that is the steward's true identity─speaks of an apocalyptic future in the Source, and of a determined group's efforts to bend time and space so that your life, and the lives of countless others, might be spared. Overwhelmed by the enormity of the endeavor, Urianger grimly agrees to conceal the truth from his fellow Scions, and to prevent them from interfering with the Exarch's planned act of self-sacrifice.<br /> <br /> : As you recover from the shock of these revelations, Ardbert appears and helps guide you towards a possible course of action. First things first, however, you must report to Lyna where she awaits you outside.<br /> <br /> * You speak with Lyna, and ask for the most direct means of reaching the Tempest. Somewhat taken aback by the request, the guard captain directs you to the tamers at the Amaro Launch.<br /> <br /> * Your attempts to secure an amaro for the forthcoming journey are interrupted by the arrival of your concerned comrades. You discuss your intention to press on despite your delicate condition, and the objections raised by Ryne are met with an impassioned argument from Alisaie. In the end, your companions agree to accompany you to the Tempest─an endeavor which gains the unexpected support of the Crystarium citizenry. They have long suspected your role as the Warrior of Darkness, and it seems you will not want for allies in the days ahead.<br /> <br /> * Although impressed by your determination, Urianger hints that he may have a less strenuous way of reaching the ocean floor. Before you discuss his solution, however, he suggests you conclude any pressing business you might have in the Crystarium. <br /> <br /> ==Dialogue==<br /> ===Quest Acceptance===<br /> '''Lyna:''' Come. Meet me in the Ocular, and I will unlock the door within.<br /> <br /> '''Crystarium Gatekeep:''' Mistress [Forename]. The captain said to expect you.<br /> ===Head to [[the Ocular]]===<br /> ''Lyna walks up to the Warrior of Light''<br /> '''Lyna:''' I have unlocked the door to the Umbilicus. You are free to enter.<br /> '''Lyna:''' Once you have what you require, I'll see it sealed once more. Until then, I will remain without.<br /> ''Lyna leaves''<br /> ''Books are strewn about everywhere, and once the Warrior of Light sees the umbilicus it triggers a flashback''<br /> <br /> ===Flashback===<br /> '''Urianger:''' A moment to collect my thoughts, I prithee...<br /> '''Urianger:''' Thy true name is G'raha Tia, then.<br /> '''Urianger:''' By thy claims, thou too art a native of the Source, though from an age beyond our own, when the Eighth Umbral Calamity hath visited devastation upon our star.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Thou hast, by subtle means, reached across the boundaries of time and space to unsow the seeds of catastrophe, ere its creeping vines drag our champion unto an early grave...<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' In essence, yes. A difficult story to swallow, I am sure... <br /> <br /> '''Urianger:''' I doubt not the veracity of thy words─not the account of thy coming, nor that of the fated Calamity.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Yet my mind straineth still to apprehend the enormity of this tale. Wouldst thou favor me with a gradual unfolding of its chapters?<br /> <br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Certainly.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' But where to begin? I should start with those great minds who survived the Calamity─Cid Garlond being perhaps the greatest.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' In hopes of staying the unending tides of war, he and his fellows pursued all manner of possible solutions.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' One of these was rooted in a theory which unified several fundamental principles discovered over the course of the Warrior of Light's adventures.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' It proposed a method by which one could enter the river of time, traverse the rift, and leap between worlds.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Perfecting that idea, however, was a work which consumed their lifetimes. And thus was it left to future generations to decide whether theory would be put into practice.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' But all the while the world continued to burn. Hope was a feeble outpost, beset on all sides by thievery and misery and murder.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' People cried out in despair, “There is no hope. We are finished. ''Mankind'' is finished.”<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Then others raised their voices in answer.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' &quot;Though we be beyond salvation, those who came before may yet be saved.“<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' &quot;We will forge a crossroads, and pave the way for a different future. By the wisdom of our forebears we will prevent this Calamity from ever having come to pass.“<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' The fighting went on unabated, but some few took up Cid's research, and labored to realize those impossible ideas.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' After two centuries of labor, their descendants finally succeeded in awakening the Crystal Tower─an integral part of the process─and in doing so roused its caretaker. Me.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' By this stage, scholars had largely established the phenomena underpinning the Rejoining, and identified the First as the shard which precipitated the Eighth Umbral Calamity.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' This grand structure was already capable of storing the energies required to attempt the translocation. All that remained was to augment some few of its functions, based upon the theoretical models of Cid and his compeers.<br /> '''Urianger:''' And by means of such technologies didst thou effect thine arrival in the First, to an age before this star had joined with the Source.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Some while before, as it turned out. 'Tis all but impossible to predict how time will flow between one world and the next, and we missed our mark by almost an entire century.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' But this only worked in our favor. The sin eaters could not be defeated without the blessing of Light, and summoning the only woman who might stand a chance against them would require decades of preparation. (''Urianger with a hand against his head'')<br /> <br /> '''Urianger:''' ...An undertaking of scarce credible endurance. That thou hast kept thy plan from falling into disarray these many years bordereth on the miraculous.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Yet howsoever history be rewritten, thy present self was shaped by events which followed the Calamity.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Should said catastrophe be averted, the very skein of thine existence will unravel. Surely thou hast foreseen this...<br /> <br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' I am aware of the consequences. 'Tis for that very reason Cid and his colleagues bequeathed their legacy as an offering...and not an edict.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' To give all of oneself for the happiness of others, and with no promise of reward? 'Tis a hard thing to ask.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Harder still for those condemned to survive in a world which pitted brother against brother. Indeed, you were right to call the execution of this plan “miraculous”─though the force which held it together was nothing so inexplicable.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' It was [him/her]. The Warrior of Light has been our unbroken thread.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Where others would stumble and fall, [he/she] would rise above. Where others would break and run, [he/she] would carry on.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' The Warrior of Light's tale is one of unyielding bravery. To tell it was to feel courage; to hear it was to feel hope. It was a breath of inspiration in an age of suffocating shadow.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' In the histories of a fallen nation was our hero hailed as its greatest ally.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' In the timeworn pages of a noble's memoirs were her deeds joyously retold.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' For many, these stories were the flame which warmed them through the coldest of nights.<br /> <br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' And so it should come as little surprise that the plan found no shortage of volunteers, concerning as it did the Warrior of Light herself. It was their chance to add their own verse to the hero's saga.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' [He/She] was the lodestar that brought them all together, to send their final message back through time and space...to her.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' &quot;The light of your legacy was our torch in the darkness. Burn bright again...and live.“ (''Urianger is looking intensely at the Exarch'')<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' I am merely the bearer of that wish, come to ensure it is safely delivered. (''Urianger rests his head in both his hands, appearing frustrated'')<br /> '''Urianger:''' Wherefore sharest thou this burden with me and no other? What wouldst thou have me say?<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' That you will be my accomplice?<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' 'Twas you yourself who convinced me of your suitability when you spoke of how you learned of the Flood, and of your part in arranging Minfilia's journey to the First. <br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Your actions showed uncommon resolve. 'Twas clear you were committed to the cause of saving this world.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' I knew I could trust you to choose the right path forward...even if that choice came with a heavy price.<br /> <br /> '''Urianger:''' ...What price? (''Urianger looks at the Exarch, who looks down for a moment'')<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' When all is said and done, and the last of the Lightwardens lies slain, I will absorb their corrupted aether. And then I will die.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Knowing what I know of your companions─not to mention your champion─they will try to stop me.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' But in saving one they would save none.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Therefore I implore you to aid me in concealing my identity, and ensuring this tale ends as it must.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' To this end, I would have you take what I have told you of the Calamity and make of it a portent─a prophetic vision you beheld in the swirling chaos of the rift. (''Urianger slowly blinks'')<br /> '''Urianger:''' ...Is this truly thy wish? (''Exarch smiles and looks to the sky'')<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' History remembered the Warrior of Light, as I knew it would. And I will suffer no other to rescue the champion whose star has charted my course.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' I will see this tale to a happy end, my friend. There has been enough tragedy.<br /> ===Return to present===<br /> ''Ardbert is in the room with the Warrior of Light''<br /> '''Ardbert:''' Careful, now.<br /> '''Ardbert:''' If you lose control again, the Light could claim you for good.<br /> '''Ardbert:''' Although it's probably only a matter of time before you succumb to the change, in any case. <br /> '''Ardbert:''' What do you mean to do?<br /> <br /> ''What will you say? I mean to hunt down Emet-Selch. / I mean to rescue the Exarch. / I mean to have a few words...with both Emet and the Exarch. '' -&gt; I mean to have a few words...with both Emet and the Exarch. <br /> '''Ardbert:''' (''Ardbert's gaze lightens'') Then we should be on our way. The Ascian mentioned the Tempest, did he not?<br /> '''Ardbert:''' That's “the stormy seas around Kholusia” to you. His lair must be down there somewhere, hidden beneath the waves.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with [[Lyna]]===<br /> '''Lyna:''' Did you find the answers you sought? If there is nothing more you need, I will go and lock the door...<br /> ''What will you say? I need some directions... / I have questions about the Tempest...'' -&gt; I have questions about the Tempest...<br /> '''Lyna:''' The Tempest? That is the name given to the seas by which Kholusia is bound.<br /> '''Lyna:''' If you make a request to the tamers, they will provide you with an amaro to fly you over the waters, but...<br /> '''Lyna:''' ...Do you mean to leave right this moment? Alone?<br /> '''Lyna:''' I am not sure that─ Nay, I will not seek to stop you. Go with the blessings of the shadow, and I shall await your safe return.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with the [[Aspiring Amaro Tamer|aspiring amaro tamer]]===<br /> '''Aspiring Amaro Tamer:''' You require an amaro? Just a moment, and I shall saddle our swiftest beast to fly you to the island...<br /> '''Aspiring Amaro Tamer:''' ...The open water? To the ''depths'' of the Tempest!? Our amaro can swim, yes, but to reach the ocean floor...<br /> ''The Warrior of Light feels a flashback and/or headache''<br /> <br /> '''Urianger:''' Ah, we have found thee.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Word reached us of thy recovery, and thus did we gather with all haste.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Ah. By thy looks, I gather thou hast gleaned that which I came to tell thee.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Urianger has shared everything with us─the Exarch's true identity and purpose. ''Urianger walks up to the Warrior of Light and kneels before them''<br /> <br /> '''Urianger:''' I offer no excuses.<br /> '''Urianger:''' When I agreed to aid the Exarch with his plans, 'twas in full acceptance of the condemnation I would face when my duplicity was laid bare.<br /> '''Urianger:''' ...Yet it is not rancor but resolve that I sense in thee. Thou art fully intent upon walking thy path to its end, art thou not?<br /> '''Urianger:''' If thou canst forgive my deception─or, failing that, set aside thy displeasure for a time─I do beg leave to follow thee. What strength and wisdom I possess are thine to command.<br /> <br /> ''What will you say? I forgive you. Let's go. / I am a danger to those around me. / No more lies. '' -&gt; I forgive you. Let's go.<br /> '''Urianger:''' ...I thank thee. Doubt not but that I will do all in my power to repay thy kindness, and fulfill the Exarch's wishes.<br /> '''Ryne:''' I'm sorry but...I don't think this is a good idea.<br /> '''Ryne:''' Leaving the Crystarium, I mean─with or without Urianger.<br /> '''Ryne:''' What I did for you won't last forever. There's no telling when the Light will break free again.<br /> '''Ryne:''' Please, you must stay here, at least for a little while longer! We will find a way to cure this, I promise you!<br /> '''Alisaie:''' How can you make promises!? We don't even know where to start!<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Alisaie, please. You know Ryne was only trying to help.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Of course I know! I know only too well! (''Alisaie balls up her fists'')<br /> '''Alisaie:''' But making promises you have no way of keeping is not a kindness─it's a lie, plain and simple!<br /> '''Alisaie:''' We've all searched high and low for an answer! And every one of us came back empty-handed!<br /> '''Alisaie:''' I am not about to stand in her way now─not after failing her in her hour of need! No, the least we can do is...<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' We will go with you, as well.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' There is naught to be gained by standing still.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Indeed, we have exhausted every other avenue.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Lead and we shall follow. If there ''is'' any hope to be found, then we will surely find it at your side.<br /> '''Thancred:''' Are we ''all'' in agreement, then? (''Ryne nods'')<br /> <br /> '''???:''' Is there aught we can do to help?<br /> '''Katliss:''' Though we may not know the whole story, we do know you're in for a fight.<br /> '''Katliss:''' And while the Exarch's away, it falls to the rest of us to see the Warrior of Darkness is given a proper send-off!<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' You told them!?<br /> '''Lyna:''' No! Well...not in so many words.<br /> '''Glynard:''' Aye, we didn't need it spelled out for us. When the night sky appeared over whichever place you went to, it was harder ''not'' to put two and two together!<br /> '''Bragi:''' From the moment I heard that you and the Exarch shared a homeland, I had my suspicions.<br /> '''Bragi:''' Long had he been waiting for a certain someone to arrive...and I knew at once that it must be you.<br /> '''Crystarium Gatekeep:''' Exactly! When he went out to meet you, 'twas clear it was no ordinary visitor.<br /> '''Crystarium Gatekeep:''' That spring in his step spoke volumes. I could feel his excitement!<br /> '''Moren:''' We do not fully understand where you or the Exarch hail from, or why you've all done so much to protect us.<br /> '''Moren:''' But we are deeply grateful, nonetheless.<br /> '''Moren:''' So if there is anything at all we might do to aid your journey, you need only name it. What would you have of us? ''Y'shtola smiles''<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' You might have invited them to join us, were there not so many. But come, they are waiting. What is your will, O Warrior of Darkness?<br /> <br /> ''What will you say? Defend the Crystarium until we return! / Leave it to us - we'll see the Exarch home safe and sound! / Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst...'' -&gt; Leave it to us - we'll see the Exarch home safe and sound! (''Everyone cheers'')<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' You might have invited them to join us, were there not so many. But come, they are waiting. What is your will, O Warrior of Darkness?<br /> '''Ryne:''' There's nothing I can do to cleanse you of the Light's corruption...but I'll do everything in my power to keep it in check.<br /> '''Ryne:''' If the Wardens' aether overwhelms you again, you will become a sin eater, so please, save your strength for when it really matters.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' The volunteers who journeyed to Kholusia have all been safely returned to their homes. They've also assured us that they will do their best to hold the eaters at bay in our absence.<br /> '''Thancred:''' Gods know you've spent enough time charging into danger on our behalf. It's only fair that we return the favor!<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' I once said that I wanted to fight for Estinien─that I wanted to save him, not let him be sacrificed for a cause. And now I say the same to you.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Just so you know, I will not look kindly on any further attempts to leave us behind. We do this together.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with [[Urianger]]===<br /> '''Urianger:''' Thou didst plan to commandeer an amaro for thy journey to the open sea? I fear the following dive down unto Emet-Selch's underwater abode would drain even thy legendary stamina...<br /> '''Urianger:''' Thus, during thy convalescence, we considered the most efficacious method for reaching the depths of the Tempest. And I believe we have arrived at an elegant solution.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Yet ere we discuss this step, I suggest thou dost conclude such pressing business as remains to thee in the Crystarium. Once the sea closeth above our heads, we are unlikely to surface again until our grand deed is done.</div>

G'raha Tia─for that is the steward's true identity─speaks of an apocalyptic future in the Source, and of a determined group's efforts to bend time and space so that your life, and the lives of countless others, might be spared. Overwhelmed by the enormity of the endeavor, Urianger grimly agrees to conceal the truth from his fellow Scions, and to prevent them from interfering with the Exarch's planned act of self-sacrifice.<br /> <br /> : As you recover from the shock of these revelations, Ardbert appears and helps guide you towards a possible course of action. First things first, however, you must report to Lyna where she awaits you outside.<br /> <br /> * You speak with Lyna, and ask for the most direct means of reaching the Tempest. Somewhat taken aback by the request, the guard captain directs you to the tamers at the Amaro Launch.<br /> <br /> * Your attempts to secure an amaro for the forthcoming journey are interrupted by the arrival of your concerned comrades. You discuss your intention to press on despite your delicate condition, and the objections raised by Ryne are met with an impassioned argument from Alisaie. In the end, your companions agree to accompany you to the Tempest─an endeavor which gains the unexpected support of the Crystarium citizenry. They have long suspected your role as the Warrior of Darkness, and it seems you will not want for allies in the days ahead.<br /> <br /> * Although impressed by your determination, Urianger hints that he may have a less strenuous way of reaching the ocean floor. Before you discuss his solution, however, he suggests you conclude any pressing business you might have in the Crystarium. <br /> <br /> ==Dialogue==<br /> ===Quest Acceptance===<br /> '''Lyna:''' Come. Meet me in the Ocular, and I will unlock the door within.<br /> <br /> '''Crystarium Gatekeep:''' Mistress [Forename]. The captain said to expect you.<br /> ===Head to [[the Ocular]]===<br /> ''Lyna walks up to the Warrior of Light''<br /> '''Lyna:''' I have unlocked the door to the Umbilicus. You are free to enter.<br /> '''Lyna:''' Once you have what you require, I'll see it sealed once more. Until then, I will remain without.<br /> ''Lyna leaves''<br /> ''Books are strewn about everywhere, and once the Warrior of Light sees the umbilicus it triggers a flashback''<br /> <br /> ===Flashback===<br /> '''Urianger:''' A moment to collect my thoughts, I prithee...<br /> '''Urianger:''' Thy true name is G'raha Tia, then.<br /> '''Urianger:''' By thy claims, thou too art a native of the Source, though from an age beyond our own, when the Eighth Umbral Calamity hath visited devastation upon our star.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Thou hast, by subtle means, reached across the boundaries of time and space to unsow the seeds of catastrophe, ere its creeping vines drag our champion unto an early grave...<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' In essence, yes. A difficult story to swallow, I am sure... <br /> <br /> '''Urianger:''' I doubt not the veracity of thy words─not the account of thy coming, nor that of the fated Calamity.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Yet my mind straineth still to apprehend the enormity of this tale. Wouldst thou favor me with a gradual unfolding of its chapters?<br /> <br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Certainly.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' But where to begin? I should start with those great minds who survived the Calamity─Cid Garlond being perhaps the greatest.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' In hopes of staying the unending tides of war, he and his fellows pursued all manner of possible solutions.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' One of these was rooted in a theory which unified several fundamental principles discovered over the course of the Warrior of Light's adventures.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' It proposed a method by which one could enter the river of time, traverse the rift, and leap between worlds.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Perfecting that idea, however, was a work which consumed their lifetimes. And thus was it left to future generations to decide whether theory would be put into practice.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' But all the while the world continued to burn. Hope was a feeble outpost, beset on all sides by thievery and misery and murder.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' People cried out in despair, “There is no hope. We are finished. ''Mankind'' is finished.”<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Then others raised their voices in answer.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' &quot;Though we be beyond salvation, those who came before may yet be saved.“<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' &quot;We will forge a crossroads, and pave the way for a different future. By the wisdom of our forebears we will prevent this Calamity from ever having come to pass.“<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' The fighting went on unabated, but some few took up Cid's research, and labored to realize those impossible ideas.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' After two centuries of labor, their descendants finally succeeded in awakening the Crystal Tower─an integral part of the process─and in doing so roused its caretaker. Me.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' By this stage, scholars had largely established the phenomena underpinning the Rejoining, and identified the First as the shard which precipitated the Eighth Umbral Calamity.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' This grand structure was already capable of storing the energies required to attempt the translocation. All that remained was to augment some few of its functions, based upon the theoretical models of Cid and his compeers.<br /> '''Urianger:''' And by means of such technologies didst thou effect thine arrival in the First, to an age before this star had joined with the Source.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Some while before, as it turned out. 'Tis all but impossible to predict how time will flow between one world and the next, and we missed our mark by almost an entire century.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' But this only worked in our favor. The sin eaters could not be defeated without the blessing of Light, and summoning the only woman who might stand a chance against them would require decades of preparation. (''Urianger with a hand against his head'')<br /> <br /> '''Urianger:''' ...An undertaking of scarce credible endurance. That thou hast kept thy plan from falling into disarray these many years bordereth on the miraculous.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Yet howsoever history be rewritten, thy present self was shaped by events which followed the Calamity.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Should said catastrophe be averted, the very skein of thine existence will unravel. Surely thou hast foreseen this...<br /> <br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' I am aware of the consequences. 'Tis for that very reason Cid and his colleagues bequeathed their legacy as an offering...and not an edict.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' To give all of oneself for the happiness of others, and with no promise of reward? 'Tis a hard thing to ask.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Harder still for those condemned to survive in a world which pitted brother against brother. Indeed, you were right to call the execution of this plan “miraculous”─though the force which held it together was nothing so inexplicable.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' It was [him/her]. The Warrior of Light has been our unbroken thread.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Where others would stumble and fall, [he/she] would rise above. Where others would break and run, [he/she] would carry on.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' The Warrior of Light's tale is one of unyielding bravery. To tell it was to feel courage; to hear it was to feel hope. It was a breath of inspiration in an age of suffocating shadow.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' In the histories of a fallen nation was our hero hailed as its greatest ally.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' In the timeworn pages of a noble's memoirs were her deeds joyously retold.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' For many, these stories were the flame which warmed them through the coldest of nights.<br /> <br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' And so it should come as little surprise that the plan found no shortage of volunteers, concerning as it did the Warrior of Light herself. It was their chance to add their own verse to the hero's saga.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' [He/She] was the lodestar that brought them all together, to send their final message back through time and space...to her.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' &quot;The light of your legacy was our torch in the darkness. Burn bright again...and live.“ (''Urianger is looking intensely at the Exarch'')<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' I am merely the bearer of that wish, come to ensure it is safely delivered. (''Urianger rests his head in both his hands, appearing frustrated'')<br /> '''Urianger:''' Wherefore sharest thou this burden with me and no other? What wouldst thou have me say?<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' That you will be my accomplice?<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' 'Twas you yourself who convinced me of your suitability when you spoke of how you learned of the Flood, and of your part in arranging Minfilia's journey to the First. <br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Your actions showed uncommon resolve. 'Twas clear you were committed to the cause of saving this world.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' I knew I could trust you to choose the right path forward...even if that choice came with a heavy price.<br /> <br /> '''Urianger:''' ...What price? (''Urianger looks at the Exarch, who looks down for a moment'')<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' When all is said and done, and the last of the Lightwardens lies slain, I will absorb their corrupted aether. And then I will die.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Knowing what I know of your companions─not to mention your champion─they will try to stop me.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' But in saving one they would save none.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' Therefore I implore you to aid me in concealing my identity, and ensuring this tale ends as it must.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' To this end, I would have you take what I have told you of the Calamity and make of it a portent─a prophetic vision you beheld in the swirling chaos of the rift. (''Urianger slowly blinks'')<br /> '''Urianger:''' ...Is this truly thy wish? (''Exarch smiles and looks to the sky'')<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' History remembered the Warrior of Light, as I knew it would. And I will suffer no other to rescue the champion whose star has charted my course.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' I will see this tale to a happy end, my friend. There has been enough tragedy.<br /> ===Return to present===<br /> ''Ardbert is in the room with the Warrior of Light''<br /> '''Ardbert:''' Careful, now.<br /> '''Ardbert:''' If you lose control again, the Light could claim you for good.<br /> '''Ardbert:''' Although it's probably only a matter of time before you succumb to the change, in any case. <br /> '''Ardbert:''' What do you mean to do?<br /> <br /> ''What will you say? I mean to hunt down Emet-Selch. / I mean to rescue the Exarch. / I mean to have a few words...with both Emet and the Exarch. '' -&gt; I mean to have a few words...with both Emet and the Exarch. <br /> '''Ardbert:''' (''Ardbert's gaze lightens'') Then we should be on our way. The Ascian mentioned the Tempest, did he not?<br /> '''Ardbert:''' That's “the stormy seas around Kholusia” to you. His lair must be down there somewhere, hidden beneath the waves.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with [[Lyna]]===<br /> '''Lyna:''' Did you find the answers you sought? If there is nothing more you need, I will go and lock the door...<br /> ''What will you say? I need some directions... / I have questions about the Tempest...'' -&gt; I have questions about the Tempest...<br /> '''Lyna:''' The Tempest? That is the name given to the seas by which Kholusia is bound.<br /> '''Lyna:''' If you make a request to the tamers, they will provide you with an amaro to fly you over the waters, but...<br /> '''Lyna:''' ...Do you mean to leave right this moment? Alone?<br /> '''Lyna:''' I am not sure that─ Nay, I will not seek to stop you. Go with the blessings of the shadow, and I shall await your safe return.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with the [[Aspiring Amaro Tamer|aspiring amaro tamer]]===<br /> '''Aspiring Amaro Tamer:''' You require an amaro? Just a moment, and I shall saddle our swiftest beast to fly you to the island...<br /> '''Aspiring Amaro Tamer:''' ...The open water? To the ''depths'' of the Tempest!? Our amaro can swim, yes, but to reach the ocean floor...<br /> ''The Warrior of Light feels a flashback and/or headache''<br /> <br /> '''Urianger:''' Ah, we have found thee.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Word reached us of thy recovery, and thus did we gather with all haste.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Ah. By thy looks, I gather thou hast gleaned that which I came to tell thee.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Urianger has shared everything with us─the Exarch's true identity and purpose. ''Urianger walks up to the Warrior of Light and kneels before them''<br /> <br /> '''Urianger:''' I offer no excuses.<br /> '''Urianger:''' When I agreed to aid the Exarch with his plans, 'twas in full acceptance of the condemnation I would face when my duplicity was laid bare.<br /> '''Urianger:''' ...Yet it is not rancor but resolve that I sense in thee. Thou art fully intent upon walking thy path to its end, art thou not?<br /> '''Urianger:''' If thou canst forgive my deception─or, failing that, set aside thy displeasure for a time─I do beg leave to follow thee. What strength and wisdom I possess are thine to command.<br /> <br /> ''What will you say? I forgive you. Let's go. / I am a danger to those around me. / No more lies. '' -&gt; I forgive you. Let's go.<br /> '''Urianger:''' ...I thank thee. Doubt not but that I will do all in my power to repay thy kindness, and fulfill the Exarch's wishes.<br /> '''Ryne:''' I'm sorry but...I don't think this is a good idea.<br /> '''Ryne:''' Leaving the Crystarium, I mean─with or without Urianger.<br /> '''Ryne:''' What I did for you won't last forever. There's no telling when the Light will break free again.<br /> '''Ryne:''' Please, you must stay here, at least for a little while longer! We will find a way to cure this, I promise you!<br /> '''Alisaie:''' How can you make promises!? We don't even know where to start!<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Alisaie, please. You know Ryne was only trying to help.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Of course I know! I know only too well! (''Alisaie balls up her fists'')<br /> '''Alisaie:''' But making promises you have no way of keeping is not a kindness─it's a lie, plain and simple!<br /> '''Alisaie:''' We've all searched high and low for an answer! And every one of us came back empty-handed!<br /> '''Alisaie:''' I am not about to stand in her way now─not after failing her in her hour of need! No, the least we can do is...<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' We will go with you, as well.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' There is naught to be gained by standing still.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Indeed, we have exhausted every other avenue.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Lead and we shall follow. If there ''is'' any hope to be found, then we will surely find it at your side.<br /> '''Thancred:''' Are we ''all'' in agreement, then? (''Ryne nods'')<br /> <br /> ???: Is there aught we can do to help?<br /> '''Katliss:''' Though we may not know the whole story, we do know you're in for a fight.<br /> '''Katliss:''' And while the Exarch's away, it falls to the rest of us to see the Warrior of Darkness is given a proper send-off!<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' You told them!?<br /> '''Lyna:''' No! Well...not in so many words.<br /> '''Glynard:''' Aye, we didn't need it spelled out for us. When the night sky appeared over whichever place you went to, it was harder ''not'' to put two and two together!<br /> '''Bragi:''' From the moment I heard that you and the Exarch shared a homeland, I had my suspicions.<br /> '''Bragi:''' Long had he been waiting for a certain someone to arrive...and I knew at once that it must be you.<br /> '''Crystarium Gatekeep:''' Exactly! When he went out to meet you, 'twas clear it was no ordinary visitor.<br /> '''Crystarium Gatekeep:''' That spring in his step spoke volumes. I could feel his excitement!<br /> '''Moren:''' We do not fully understand where you or the Exarch hail from, or why you've all done so much to protect us.<br /> '''Moren:''' But we are deeply grateful, nonetheless.<br /> '''Moren:''' So if there is anything at all we might do to aid your journey, you need only name it. What would you have of us? ''Y'shtola smiles''<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' You might have invited them to join us, were there not so many. But come, they are waiting. What is your will, O Warrior of Darkness?<br /> <br /> ''What will you say? Defend the Crystarium until we return! / Leave it to us - we'll see the Exarch home safe and sound! / Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst...'' -&gt; Leave it to us - we'll see the Exarch home safe and sound! (''Everyone cheers'')<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' You might have invited them to join us, were there not so many. But come, they are waiting. What is your will, O Warrior of Darkness?<br /> '''Ryne:''' There's nothing I can do to cleanse you of the Light's corruption...but I'll do everything in my power to keep it in check.<br /> '''Ryne:''' If the Wardens' aether overwhelms you again, you will become a sin eater, so please, save your strength for when it really matters.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' The volunteers who journeyed to Kholusia have all been safely returned to their homes. They've also assured us that they will do their best to hold the eaters at bay in our absence.<br /> '''Thancred:''' Gods know you've spent enough time charging into danger on our behalf. It's only fair that we return the favor!<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' I once said that I wanted to fight for Estinien─that I wanted to save him, not let him be sacrificed for a cause. And now I say the same to you.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Just so you know, I will not look kindly on any further attempts to leave us behind. We do this together. <br /> ===Speak with [[Urianger]]===<br /> '''Urianger:''' Thou didst plan to commandeer an amaro for thy journey to the open sea? I fear the following dive down unto Emet-Selch's underwater abode would drain even thy legendary stamina...<br /> '''Urianger:''' Thus, during thy convalescence, we considered the most efficacious method for reaching the depths of the Tempest. And I believe we have arrived at an elegant solution.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Yet ere we discuss this step, I suggest thou dost conclude such pressing business as remains to thee in the Crystarium. Once the sea closeth above our heads, we are unlikely to surface again until our grand deed is done.</div>

To remove it, cast the Duty action &quot;Shining Blade&quot;, the same specialty action button used to make yourself invisible.<br /> * Near the end of the fight, Perfect Deception will change to Souldeep Invisibility and Shining Blade will change to Leap of Faith respectively.

Eager to enjoy the fruits of his labors, Magnus leaves with Thaffe and Jeryk for the Mount Biran Mines to perform a few final checks and plot your route to Nabaath Areng. He bids you join them when you are ready.<br /> <br /> * Before long, Minfilia will come face-to-face with the original Oracle–the real Minfilia. But despite her understandable trepidation, she assures you of her commitment to see her journey through to its end. With both Thancred and Urianger also ready to set off, you have only to speak with Magnus to proceed.<br /> <br /> * You board the trolley, but Minfilia quickly notes Urianger's failure to follow suit. He duly insists you continue without him, that he might inform Alphinaud and the others of your progress. After a short farewell, the Talos is set into motion, and the trolley begins racing down the tracks. The gate to Nabaath Areng opens wihtout incident, but an unwelcome sight awaits you on the other side–Ran'jit.<br /> <br /> * With a single blow, Ran'jit topples the trolley, sending you and the others tumbling in all directions. Struggling to her feet, Minfilia pleads with him to let you pass, but her words only serve to send him into a rage. He moves to strike her down, but is prevented by Thancred at the last moment. Eyes aflame, the Scion commands Minfilia to leave while he contends with Ran'jit. After a moment's hesitation you take Minfilia with you southward, the clang of steel ringing out behind you.<br /> <br /> * At long last, you have arrived at Nabaath Areng. Within awaits the Oracle. Minfilia steels herself as you press onward, still unsure how this reunion with her kindred spirit from the Source will end.<br /> <br /> ==Dialogue==<br /> ===Quest Acceptance===<br /> '''Magnus:''' It's been years since I've seen a Talos in such fine shape. Would that Agna was here to see it. Or our son...<br /> '''Magnus:''' I was ready to let her dreams die down there in the mines. Even after you'd found the leonine, I refused to believe it could work. Gods, what a fool I was. But I tell you now─I'm going to take good care of this Talos. For both their sakes. On behalf of my family, and all the miners of Twine, thank you.<br /> <br /> '''Magnus:''' Well, enough chitter-chatter. Let's get you lot to Nabaath Areng, eh?<br /> '''Thancred:''' Everything seems to be in order. I take it the Talos's presence resolves the issue of the gate?<br /> '''Magnus:''' Hm? Oh, that. Yes. It's designed to open at the Talos's approach.<br /> '''Minfilia:''' Then we can finally go to Nabaath Areng.<br /> '''Magnus:''' You certainly can. All that remains is a final check of the control box over at the mines. You hear that, boys? Get that Talos over to the mines, and keep a close eye on it around the curves. Understood?<br /> '''Thaffe:''' Yes sir!<br /> '''Urianger:''' Let us repair to the mines, then.<br /> '''Minfilia:''' Before we go... (''Minfilia faces Thancred'') Minfilia: While you were away with [Forename], I prepared an extra set of cartridges for you. And this one. It's the practice cartridge you gave me. I know I should've thrown it away ages ago, but I've been adding a little extra to it every day. After so many charges, I'm honestly not sure what it will do. But I wanted you to have it. For luck.<br /> '''Thancred:''' Minfilia, I─ Uh... (''Minfilia looks slightly happy, but then turns the Warrior of Light'')<br /> '''Minfilia:''' We should hurry. Magnus and the others are probably wondering where we are.<br /> <br /> '''Urianger:''' All appeareth ready for the grand departure. But one task yet remaineth...<br /> '''Thancred:''' I know what you're thinking, and I will talk to her. When the time is right.<br /> '''Thaffe:''' Ever since we got the Talos moving again, Jeryk has been acting strangely. Perhaps strange isn't the right word. More...overexcited. But as long as he gets the job done, I suppose I can't complain.<br /> '''Magnus:''' Luckily, Thaffe and Jeryk didn't spend the last few years trying to drink themselves to death, and had the good sense to maintain this stuff. I'll have to thank them later.<br /> '''Jeryk:''' Is this not the most beautiful sight you've ever seen? Oh, if only I could capture this moment in a painting, or even a quick pencil sketch. Hey, you seem pretty good at...everything. You wouldn't happen to be an artist too, would you?<br /> <br /> ===Speak with [[Minfilia]]===<br /> '''Minfilia:''' So this is it. We're finally going to Nabaath Areng. I've thought long and hard about what to say to her. To the real Minfilia. I hoped when the time came I would know, but with every step we take I feel more uncertain. That's no reason to give up, though. Not when so much is at stake. Thank you, all of you, for helping me to get here. Now, let's not keep Magnus waiting.<br /> ===Speak with [[Magnus]]===<br /> '''Magnus:''' There you are. So, what do you think? A little primitive-looking, I'll admit, but Daedalus Stoneworks has always favored a simple, intuitive design, and that philosophy has served us well enough. Much of the trolley network uses single tracks, making it easy for the Talos to navigate them as needed. And plotting a route is so simple, even we can do it, which makes for fewer accidents in transit. Speaking of which, are you ready to board? [Duty start dialogue box] '''Magnus:''' All right, then. Watch your step.<br /> <br /> ===Cutscene===<br /> (''Minfilia notices Urianger looking at her'')<br /> '''Minfilia:''' Urianger?<br /> '''Urianger:''' Thou must needs carry on without me. The path to Nabaath Areng lieth open. Whilst thou travelest thither to the south, I would apprise Mistress Alisaie and the others of our progress. As circumstances permit, I will thereafter rejoin the hunt for the remaining Lightwardens. (''Thancred crosses his arms'')<br /> <br /> '''Thancred:''' Magnus. Will the gate close immediately after the trolley passes through?<br /> '''Magnus:''' No, it will stay open until someone closes it manually. Built that way to prevent any untimely accidents.<br /> '''Thancred:''' Then you and the others can meet us in Nabaath Areng after giving the Eulmorans the slip. (''Urianger nods, and Minfilia looks down briefly'')<br /> '''Minfilia:''' Ah, Urianger...<br /> '''Minfilia:''' Thank you. For everything.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Remember: thou needst but have faith.<br /> '''Magnus:''' If you've finished with your good-byes, I suggest you grab hold of something. Be a shame if you took a tumble. (''Minfilia steps up onto the cart, and Thancred and Urianger nod to eachother'') The tracks beyond the gate aren't in the best of shape, so the trolley can only go as far as Amh Malik. Godsspeed!<br /> <br /> '''Thancred:''' Ah, that must be the gate. (''The golem walks over something that charges it further'') Thancred: Well, so far so good...<br /> '''Thancred:''' Wait...is that─ ''Ran'jit''! (''Ranjit hits the mine cart, knocking everyone down and the golem'') <br /> <br /> '''Thancred:''' (''scowling'') You're a stubborn old swine, aren't you...<br /> '''Ran'jit:''' One who has mastered Gukumatz fears not the blackest pit or the fieriest hell. Your deeds in the east did not go unnoticed. Long have I lain in wait, and sure enough, you did not disappoint. Had you only sworn fealty to Lord Vauthry, you would have no cause to skulk about like frightened animals. (''Minfilia struggles to stand'') You will remain as you are, while I dispatch these villains.<br /> '''Minfilia:''' No! I won't...! I won't let you!<br /> '''Ran'jit:''' You forget to whom you speak! Who armed you? Trained you? Fought and killed a thousand sin eaters with you!? And when you were inevitably cut down and lay lifeless in my arms─who sought out your successor to carry on the futile struggle again and again!? We seek to bring peace to what is left of this shattered land, while these mad fools would only bring further chaos down upon us! Do not be deceived, child! Only by Lord Vauthry's hand will this dying world know a sliver of salvation! (''Minfilia looks down'')<br /> '''Minfilia:''' I don't know about the world...but I never asked to be saved. However much it hurts, and however hard it gets, it's my life, and I want to live it on my own terms! (''Ran'jit looks down as Minfilia stands up'') And those “mad fools” you want me to abandon? The ones I've traveled with, fought with, and may one day die with─they feel the same. So no, I will ''not'' be deceived! No matter what you say, I refuse to believe it's all for nothing! They're everything to me. All I have and all I need. And I would gladly do anything for them. Let us pass, or kill me. I'm not leaving here without them.<br /> '''Ran'jit:''' How ''dare'' you! Very well─if you would cast your lot with villains, then you shall share their fate! (''Ran'jit charges and Thancred deflects his attack'')<br /> '''Thancred:''' I heard what you said. And I'm sorry for all the things I've left unspoken. You have to go. Now!<br /> <br /> '''Minfilia:''' Thancred, no─<br /> '''Thancred:''' Go! Do what you came here to do. I'll not have you waste that newfound resolve on me. (''Thancred picks up his weapon'') <br /> '''Thancred:''' I leave her in your hands. Hurry! (''The Warrior of Light nods, as Minfilia and the Warrior of Light run away. Ran'jit tries to pursue but Thancred prevents it'') Not another step! Your fight is with me.<br /> '''Ran'jit:''' You think yourself her protector!? Hah! As if a whelp like you could be a better father to her than me!<br /> <br /> ===Post-Battle===<br /> ''Ranjit is kneeling, and Thancred looks exhausted''<br /> '''Ran'jit:''' You would have her suffer and die. I would spare her that fate!<br /> '''Thancred:''' That is not for you or anyone else to decide─ever again. (''Ran'jit leaves, and Thancred falls to the ground, breathing heavily'')<br /> <br /> ''Thancred, narrating: Not a single day goes by that I don't think about all that you have given me. Countless memories and moments I took for granted...Gods, you grew up so fast. (''Thancred's eyes close'') But you had to, didn't you? For those you had lost. For those you could yet save. A world teetering on the very brink of oblivion, for which you gave your everything without hesitation... Your kindness, your compassion, your love...Then and now...'' (''Thancred is on his back still'')<br /> <br /> '''Thancred:''' One last time, with a little help. I'm so proud to have been a part of your life... Oh, Minfilia...<br /> ''Thancred may be dead''<br /> <br /> ===Speak with [[Minfilia]]=== <br /> '''Minfilia:''' This is the place, [Forename]. This is where she stopped the Flood. The last time I was here, when I felt her presence overwhelming me...I tried to pretend it wasn't happening─to just...turn away. But I can't turn away now. Not this time. For Thancred and the others, I have to face her. <br /> ''In the event that you leave the area, speak with the apprentice engineer at Twine in Amh Araeng to return to Nabaath Areng.''</div>

Together with your fellow Scions, you travel east, following the trail of flowers leading to its entrance.<br /> <br /> * You touch the door to the Qitana Ravel and feel aether emanating from within. The way is indeed open. Beyond awaits Rak'tika Falls and, you hope, the Lightwarden. Gritting your teeth, you cross the threshold, wary of the myriad dangers now stirring to life to bar your passage.<br /> ** ※To enlist your companion NPCs for this duty, speak with them near the entrance or access Duty Support via the main menu. Use the Duty Finder if you wish to complete the instance alongside fellow players.<br /> <br /> * After fighting your way past the sentinels of the Qitana Ravel, you arrive at Rak'Tika Falls where, as expected, you find the Lightwarden. A frantic battle ensues, but in the end you emerge victorious, and the primordial Light of the firmament at last gives way to a breathtaking night sky. Your task complete, you turn your steps back to Fanow.<br /> <br /> * While passing through the halls of the Qitana Ravel, a series of murals chance to catch Y'shtola's eyes eye. As she ponders their significance, her thoughts are interrupted by the fashionably late arrival of [[Emet-Selch]]. He bids you make haste in quitting the temple, but soon finds himself similarly captivated by the murals, not out of curiosity but nostalgia. Y'shtola duly invites him to explain what it is they depict, and he obliges with an utterly unforeseeable tale: that Zodiark and Hydaelyn are the eldest of primals, and that it was the Ascians who first conjured them into being. his lesson concluded, Emet-Selch then departs, leaving you and your companions to continue your journey outside in stunned silence.<br /> <br /> * You have been confronted with an uncomfortable truth–assuming it is the truth. Yet there is little time to give thought to Emet-Selch's claims, for you duty to save the First is not yet done.<br /> <br /> ==Dialogue==<br /> ===Quest Acceptance===<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Before we leave─Urianger, did you discover anything that may suggest the Lightwarden hides elsewhere?<br /> '''Urianger:''' Nay. Though we had but little time before the Eulmorans' most unwelcome arrival, we scoured the nearby environs and spoke once more with the one called Korille. Having hearkened to her tale, it is my judgment that the sin eater which her late mother did espy was indeed the being we seek, and that it most likely resided in the vicinity of Rak'tika Falls. In the absence of any subsequent sighting, I have no reason to believe our quarry hath sought out a new sanctuary. And given the considerable difficulty we face in reaching the falls, we may be certain it hath not been disturbed by man.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Then our course is clear. We must navigate the Qitana Ravel and make for Rak'tika Falls.<br /> '''Almet:''' Though you see it as but another obstacle to be navigated, the Qitana Ravel is the oldest and most sacred of our temples. The accumulated knowledge of the empire is said to reside within. Knowledge which is rightly yours as allies of Ronka. You are welcome to explore.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' I fully intend to survey every ilm of it─once our mission is complete.<br /> '''Uimet:''' Were the emperor still alive, he would be overjoyed to hear you say so. But I must warn you─though the way is open, it will still be heavily guarded.<br /> '''Cymet:''' To discourage trespassers and test the worth of our allies, it had to be so. Be careful in there.<br /> '''Almet:''' Head east and you will find the path of azure flowers leading to the Ravel. I wish you safe passage through its halls. (''Cymet, Almet and Uimet bow'')<br /> '''Runar:''' Master Matoya. I know I cannot dissuade you from going, so please─promise me you will return safely. The Night's Blessed need you...<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' You need not worry, Runar. I shall return, and bring with me a long-awaited gift. One the Night's Blessed will treasure now and forevermore. Now, let us away.<br /> <br /> '''Minfilia:''' I can't imagine what could have survived in there after so many years...<br /> '''Thancred:''' After you, my friend.<br /> '''Urianger:''' At long last, the time hath come to find out what wonders yet remain at the heart of Ronka.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' This had better work. I have no wish to return to the Great Pyramid.<br /> ===Search the destination===<br /> ''You can feel the aether flowing through the door. A gentle push may be all that's required...''<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Our earlier efforts were not in vain, it seems. Stay on your guard, [Forename]. We know not what awaits us inside.<br /> <br /> ===Enter [[the Qitana Ravel]]===<br /> ===Post-Battle===<br /> ''Warrior of Light absorbs the light from Eros, and night returns''<br /> '''Minfilia:''' The Lightwarden is dead. The Blessed's prayers have been answered...<br /> '''Thancred:''' Aye, that they have.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Her condition yet troubleth thee?<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' It does. Though she shows no immediate signs of corruption, the danger remains. She must be told.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' ...Would you describe it to me, Urianger? Paint for me a picture with your words.<br /> <br /> '''Urianger:''' A sea of shimmering stars. Diamonds strewn across a raven gown, boundless and beautiful. 'Tis an exquisite sight not unlike that of the Source. Calm and gentle...and forgiving...<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' I can see it...<br /> '''Urianger:''' For however deep the void, or wide the expanse, there is no shore so distant as to be beyond the reach of light. ...Ominous though that may sound, given our present travails.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Well fought. Let us return home.<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' (''glancing at the murals'') The murals. If I am not mistaken, they predate the empire.<br /> '''Minfilia:''' How can you tell?<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' A peculiarity of the paint. Most are made from mineral-based pigments, but whatever was used here is older than anything I have ever seen. According to Almet, this sanctuary was built to preserve the wisdom of the ancients. What events do these murals commemorate, I wonder?<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Must you always linger after defeating your enemies? Navigating these halls on foot is exhausting.<br /> '''Thancred:''' Come to lead us to safety, have you?<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Hmph! I was bored. But how is the hero of the hour? (''Emet glances at the Warrior of Light'') Hmm. Fighting fit, I see. Keep up the good work.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' You're plotting something.<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Every hour of every day. But never you mind about that. As I have told you a thousand times before: I like to watch. Nothing more. Well! I would quit this place, and I suggest you do the same. There is yet work to be done. (''Emet glances at the Murals'') Ah...there is a sight to bring a tear to the eye.<br /> '''Minfilia:''' You recognize these scenes?<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' (''Emet shrugs'') That I do. Indeed, there was a time when anyone and everyone would. Until one calamitous day when the world was divided across ten and three reflections, sundering the land and all who dwelled upon it. A vision shared of a paradise lost, preserved only in song and scripture and paint... Once upon a time. Yet here we find ourselves again. To look, learn, and ''remember''...<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Then share with us the stories you know so well. We are listening.<br /> <br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Before the great sundering, there was one world. A world that knew naught but peace and prosperity. Until it was faced with a crisis. Unprecedented, terrifying. Civilization found itself perched upon a precipice, staring into oblivion. But through prayer and sacrifice, the will of the star was made manifest. (''Ement points to a Mural'') Zodiark was His name, and by His grace was the calamity averted. (''Everyone looks shocked'')<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Zodiark!? (''Emet points at another mural'')<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' A savior mighty and magnificent, deserving of reverence and gratitude...one would have thought. Yet some thought otherwise. From the fears of these naysayers would rise Hydaelyn─She who was to serve as His shackles. To bind Him and hold Him in check. And so they fought, and they fought, and they fought. And in the end...Hydaelyn was victorious. With all Her strength She smote Him─dealing a blow so devastating that it split the very fabric of reality. And thus was Zodiark banished and His being divided. That concludes today's lesson on long-forgotten history. Though I imagine your Mother would offer a rather contradictory account. As is Her wont.<br /> '''Thancred:''' I'm sorry─I can only assume I misheard, but it sounded an awful lot like you were implying both Zodiark and Hydaelyn are not gods, but─<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' What? Not gods of the First? Is that what you thought these paintings depicted? Or...? Oh! Ohhh...<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' They are gods after a fashion, yes, but no different from the kind with which you are so intimately acquainted. Formed of faith and prayer, of conviction and devotion...<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' The eldest and most powerful...of primals.<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' You have spun quite a tale. Yet you have not explained the role of the Ascians in all of this. How is it you are privy to ancient secrets lost to time?<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' (''Emet chuckles'') Finally, ''finally'', you ask the right question! And shrewd questions warrant honest answers...<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' We Ascians know because it is our history. Our story. It was we who summoned Zodiark─we natives of that sundered paradise. (''Everyone looks shocked again'')<br /> '''Emet-Selch:''' Now do you see why we yearn for the Great Rejoining? For our world...for our people...for all creation to be made whole again. Wouldn't you wish for the same?<br /> <br /> '''Minfilia:''' Thancred did tell me about primals...but I don't fully understand what all of this means.<br /> '''Thancred:''' The eldest and most powerful of primals... Gods. If that were Hydaelyn's origin, then what would that make─<br /> ...No. No, I will not take the words of an Ascian on trust. It has to be a lie.<br /> '''Urianger:''' 'Tis oft said truth is a matter of perspective. Yet upon this matter, there can be but one truth. I only pray it is not his.<br /> ===Speak with [[Y'shtola]]===<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' That was an enlightening experience. Though not in the way I had hoped. Do you suppose there is any truth in Emet-Selch's claims?</div>

<p>Vicyorus: /* Touching the Heart of Toupasa */ Fixing formatting for some text that was not in monospace boxes.</p> <hr /> <div>{{Quest infobox<br /> | title = Legend of the Not-so-hidden Temple<br /> | image = Legend_of_the_Not-so-hidden_Temple.png<br /> | description = [[Almet]] wishes to offer you words of warning.<br /> | quest-giver = Almet<br /> | location = The Rak'tika Greatwood<br /> | location-x = 23.9<br /> | location-y = 3.6<br /> | location-z = -0.1<br /> | type = main scenario<br /> | quest-line = Shadowbringers Main Scenario Quests<br /> | level = 75<br /> | exp = 223200<br /> | gil = 1972<br /> | prev-quest = Mi Casa&amp;comma; Toupasa<br /> | next-quest = The Aftermath<br /> | release = shadowbringers<br /> | patch = 5.0<br /> | msq-index = 600<br /> }} <br /> ==Walkthrough==<br /> [[File:Legend of the Not-so-hidden Temple puzzle.png|upright=1.5|thumb|left|alt=Solution for the sliding tile puzzle|Solution for the sliding tile puzzle]]<br /> * The first room contains sentinels moving around the room counter-clockwise. Position yourself between their paths, far enough behind the last as not to draw its enmity, but do not delay so long as to be caught by the second. Watch them move a moment, and pace yourself.<br /> * The second portion contains sentinels which will meet and walk away from one another. Your best bet is to look for the opening along the middle of their path. It will be a three-sided opening. Quickly move into the hole to avoid detection. Do this all the way around. If caught, you will be cursed. After so many stacks of the curse, you will die.<br /> * The third section is easy-- when Y'Shtola casts glamour, SPRINT (whatever spell or ability that will enable you to move quickly) across the room. Activate the teleporter, and step into the circle and wait to be teleported.<br /> * The fourth section is a puzzle. Your goal is the yellow portal. If you land on a blue one, you will be forced to start over. When you step onto the stones with arrows, you will be moved quickly in the direction that they are pointing! There are broken-walled squares that you are safe to stand in to make your next move. Follow the arrows to find the best route to the yellow portal.<br /> * The fifth section will release several boulders that will move quickly down the ramp. RUN! Using a zig-zag pattern, slip into the missing sections of the wall (there will be light there) and run out immediately after the boulder passes! Continue running down the ramp and when you get to the end, jump! You will fall a ways down, but you will not suffer damage. VERY &quot;Raiders of the Lost Ark&quot; :)<br /> * Next, you will encounter General Ran'jit and one of his officers. There will be a brief section of fighting. Do not be discouraged as the Viera warriors, the sisters, will join the fight. Her sisters will call out for you to run while they hold them off. Move to the side door as it will then be clickable.<br /> * As you move into the next room, two large sentinels will be standing guard and attack. Move quickly around them and seize the prize while Y'Shtola stops them.<br /> <br /> Without giving away the story, there will be cinematics at this point before being teleported out of the solo instance.<br /> <br /> ==Steps==<br /> * Speak with [[Y'shtola]].<br /> ** ※ Solo Duty will commence upon speaking with [[Y'shtola]].<br /> * Speak with [[Thancred]].<br /> <br /> ==Journal==<br /> * Almet wishes to offer you words of warning. <br /> <br /> * Almet explains to you and Y'shtola the possible dangers that await within the final chamber of the pyramid, offering you whisperweed to use in the event you find yourselves separated. With her words in mind, you enter the chamber prepared for the worst.<br /> <br /> * Once inside, you soon realize the chamber is a labyrinth, filled with magicked sentinels and perilous traps at every turn. The end is nearly in sight when you encounter a most unexpected obstacle: General Ran'jit. Uimet and Cymet follow him into the temple and, together with their sister, hold him off long enough for you to activate the final switch restoring the flow of aether through the whole of the pyramid, thus opening the path through the Qitana Ravel.<br /> <br /> * Despite your success, Ran'jit has no intention of allowing you to leave. After making quick work of the Viis sisters, he comes barreling down the corridor toward you. His onslaught is cut short, however, when Y'shtola steps in the way to protect you with a barrier. The Eulmoran adjutant, finally taking notice of his general's struggles, rushes to help him when he steps on a curious panel on the floor. The room begins to tremble, and soon they find the floor falling out from under them, forcing them to a corner opposite the exit, a gaping chasm now preventing their escape.<br /> <br /> * All present expect a rescue party to arrive, though it remains to be seen if the Scions or Eulmorans will arrive first. Still, not wanting to risk an altercation, the adjutant makes a proposal: a number of the Blessed have been poisoned, and the adjutant is willing to provide you with an antidote, granted he and his commander are allowed safe passage out of the temple. General Ran'jit is disgusted by this proposition, choosing to rid himself of the adjutant and any hope of saving the Blessed by kicking him into the chasm along with the antidote. Without thinking, Y'shtola leaps into the void, grabs hold of the antidote, and tosses it to you before disappearing into the dark.<br /> <br /> * Her last words continue to ring in your ears as Minfilia, Thancred, and Urianger arrive. General Ran'jit has no time to react as he is summarily ensnared in an enchantment and sent down into the depths with a swift strike from Thancred's gunblade. A bittersweet victory, but victory nonetheless. With the antidote in hand, you take your leave of the pyramid with the Scions.<br /> <br /> * The group is still reeling from Y'shtola's sacrifice, yet with the Night's Blessed all but knocking on death's door, you have no choice but to press on. Before rushing headlong into more danger, however, Thancred suggests waiting for news from Uimet of the Eulmoran forces that entered Yx'Maja.<br /> <br /> ==Dialogue==<br /> ===Quest Acceptance===<br /> '''Almet:''' Before we enter, I would tell you of the trial that awaits you. The chamber is said to be filled with all manner of devices to keep trespassers away from the switch. The most potent being wards of displacement. They may very well force you into danger. Should we become separated, please use these. Whisperweeds. They will allow us to communicate no matter where we may find ourselves.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' I think [Forename] and I can work out how to use these well enough. Thank you. All right, [Forename]. The sooner we finish here, the sooner we can return to the others.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with [[Y'shtola]]===<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Shall we get this over with?<br /> <br /> ===※ Solo Duty will commence upon speaking with [[Y'shtola]]===<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' We must hurry. Before the Eulmoran soldiers gain any ground.<br /> ===First stage===<br /> '''Almet:''' Wait! Do you see those sentinels? They are made to curse any who enter the pyramid. It is said to be seen by them is to be seen by death. Beware their gaze.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Let's get moving.<br /> <br /> '''Uimet:''' Sister! Sister, can you hear me? Two soldiers have broken through our defenses!<br /> '''Almet:''' Follow them! They are not to reach this temple, understood?<br /> <br /> '''Almet:''' A pair of soldiers somehow made it past my sisters. No doubt on their way here.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' All the more reason we should hurry, then.<br /> <br /> ===Second stage===<br /> '''Almet:''' Another sentinel. Its movement is somehow different from before.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' We must find a place to hide.<br /> '''Almet:''' Stay sharp.<br /> ===Third stage===<br /> '''Almet:''' They are massive... How are we to get around them?<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' I will draw their attention with a glamour. It will not last long. The moment they are distracted we must run with all haste. I realize we must hurry, but we mustn't be reckless.<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' A teleportation device? This should end well...<br /> '''Almet:''' There is no turning back.<br /> ===Fourth stage===<br /> '''Almet:''' We have been sent to...&lt;cough&gt; &lt;cough&gt;...separate chambers. This mist...<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Poison. And it has─&lt;cough&gt;─nullified my magick.<br /> <br /> '''Almet:''' Somehow we are still in one piece...<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' That means little to the others if we do not hurry.<br /> ===Fifth stage===<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' What was that noise?<br /> '''Almet:''' By the gods...!<br /> '''Almet:''' Run!!! (''Stones are rolling after you'')<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' There! That crevice in the wall!<br /> '''Almet:''' We have to jump!<br /> <br /> '''Almet:''' Well, there is no going back now. I pray it is not much further.<br /> '''Uimet:''' Sister! They have reached the temple! I fear they are too fast for us.<br /> '''Almet:''' Be careful of the traps inside. We are nearly there. It is unheard of for anyone to outpace the Viis. What is this man who comes after you?<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Could it be Ran'jit? If so, we have precious little time.<br /> ===Final Section===<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Another door. Wonderful... I can but imagine what awaits us inside.<br /> <br /> ===Touching the Heart of Toupasa===<br /> ''All the sentinels crumble''<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' It seems to be working!<br /> (''Ran'jit has knocked everyone back and tries to attack the Warrior of Light, but Y'shtola prevents it'')<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' I think not!<br /> <br /> '''Eulmoran Adjutant:''' General! Hold on! Hm? (''the Adjutant barely survives as the ground collapses, but Ran'jit is separated'')<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Expertly done.<br /> '''Eulmoran Adjutant:''' How was I to know that that would happen!? It looked like any other part of the floor!<br /> '''Eulmoran Adjutant:''' ...Might now be an opportune time to strike a bargain?<br /> '''Eulmoran Adjutant:''' We poisoned a number of villagers in Slitherbough with a toxin brewed for us by the Children. This is the antidote. I daresay you know how potent their concoctions are─and the futility of trying to counteract their effects. (''Y'shtola approaches'') Now, now. Try anything here and we're all likely to fall. Eventually, someone will come to our rescue. Or yours. Promise us safe passage and we'll give you the antidote! Do we have a deal?<br /> '''Ran'jit:''' We do not negotiate with the enemy. The villagers' lives are forfeit. As is yours... (''Ran'jit kicks the Adjutant towards the hole, Y'shtola goes for the antidote dropped by the Adjutant and throws it to the Warrior of Light while falling into the hole'')<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Do not fail.<br /> <br /> '''Ran'jit:''' How noble. And pointless.<br /> <br /> '''Minfilia:''' Is─is everyone all right? What in the─ (''Minfilia sees the hole'')<br /> '''Thancred:''' Urianger!<br /> '''Urianger:''' At once!<br /> '''Thancred:''' Down with you! (''Thancred knocks Ran'jit into the hole'')<br /> <br /> '''Minfilia:''' Where...where is Y'shtola?<br /> <br /> ===Speak with [[Thancred]]===<br /> '''Thancred:''' Thankfully Ran'jit's cohorts had the good sense to fall back. Uimet should be here soon with word from Fanow. We should hold our position here until she arrives.</div>

Unfortunately, it too was sealed shut by order of His Eminence. If we are to open it, we must first look to the Morning Stars. Come, I will show you the way.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with [[Almet]]===<br /> '''Almet:''' You were able to keep up, I see. Well done. Ahead lie the Morning Stars, four monuments built in tribute to the guardians of Rak'tika. Beyond them is the Great Pyramid of Ux'ner, where the flow of magic must be restored. It is said that the monuments are themselves the keys to opening the pyramid. Though I know not how. That is for you to discover.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' ...Another puzzle. Wonderful. I would have a closer look.<br /> <br /> '''Almet:''' I must confess, there are times when I too wonder what lies within these ruins. But I would never defy the will of the emperor.<br /> ===Speak with [[Y'shtola]]===<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' It is indeed another puzzle, but for a blessing, it appears to be similar to the one we encountered at the lake. These statues are all depictions of the divine beasts mentioned on the tablet. No doubt they will open the way into the pyramid in like manner. We have but to discern the correct order. Let's split up and search the area for clues.<br /> '''Almet:''' These ruins are covered in ancient inscriptions. The answer may well be hiding among them.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Indeed. It may be best to transcribe them if they are as numerous as you say. Better that than risk overlooking something. Though transcription would prove impractical for you, not being versed in Ronkan script... No matter. You will employ a different approach: impressions. Here. I had thought to use these clay tablets to record any significant imagery we discovered, but they will serve you just as well. Take impressions of any inscriptions you find. We will start at the base of the pyramids. You begin at the top. When you have finished, return here and I will translate your findings.<br /> <br /> ===Use the [[Clay Tablet|clay tablets]] on the inscriptions=== <br /> ''You take an impression of the writing inscribed on the monument.''<br /> <br /> ===Deliver the [[Impressed Clay Tablet|clay tablets]] to [[Y'shtola]]===<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' I trust you've made good use of those clay tablets?<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Well done. A moment while I decipher what you've found.<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Apologies for the delay. Nothing we saw at the base of the pyramids gave any hint as to the solution of the puzzle, focusing instead on how to proceed having solved it. Your findings, on the other hand, appear to form a riddle. Once assembled, it reads as follows...<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' “Come together, share despair.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' “Go thy ways, dread burdens bear.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' “Mark the crown, heed its call.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' “Avert thy gaze, forever fall.”<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' I had assumed that the puzzle would involve a sequence, but from what Almet and I were able to gather, it is but a matter of suffusing one of the statues with aether. The question being: which one? Have you any thoughts?<br /> <br /> ===Speak with [[Y'shtola]]===<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Now, which statue will it be?<br /> '''Owl Statue'''<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' All right. I pray this works.<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' The aether has been absorbed...<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' You really do have a talent for these things.<br /> When you were swimming to open the seal, notice the position of the statues (Answer is - Owl Statue.):<br /> <br /> ===Speak with [[Almet]]===<br /> '''Almet:''' The way should be clear now. Come, let us─<br /> '''Almet:''' Someone approaches!<br /> <br /> '''Cymet:''' Sister! &lt;pant&gt; &lt;pant&gt; Sister!<br /> '''Almet:''' Cymet? What are you doing here? What has happened?<br /> '''Cymet:''' Eulmoran soldiers. They have entered Yx'Maja!<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Eulmoran soldiers!? And what of the Blessed?<br /> '''Cymet:''' Nothing specific, but it seems the Eulmorans had little interest in Slitherbough or its people. According to our scouts, their general and his men made all haste for the gate to Yx'Maja upon finding it. Together with Thancred, Uimet and some few others have engaged them at the border.<br /> '''Almet:''' You are to return and assist Uimet at once. They are not to set foot near the ruins or Fanow. We will see to matters here and return as quickly as we can. Understood?<br /> '''Cymet:''' Yes, Sister. Be careful.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Though I knew time was short, I did not expect the Eulmorans to move so swiftly...<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' But we have come too far to turn back now.</div>

What is your name?<br /> <br /> '''Cymet:''' ''[Forename]''? ...And this is a common name nowadays? How times change. But I digress. Come, and be sure to watch your step.<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' No dawdling. Once we have learned all we can of the Warden and its whereabouts, we should be on our way.<br /> '''Urianger:''' For ''three thousand years'' did they wait... Incredible.<br /> '''Cymet:''' If you would hear the tale of our people, speak with Almet. As eldest, she is our voice.<br /> '''Uimet:''' My apologies for the hostile greeting. It is a miracle our arrows did not find their mark.<br /> '''Minfilia:''' For a moment, I was worried they wouldn't accept the seal.<br /> '''Thancred:''' They call themselves Viis, is that right? Not a terribly diverse people from what I can see.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with [[Almet]]===<br /> '''Almet:''' As bearers of the seal, you have a right to know what became of the empire, and my people's purpose here. We are descendants of the palace guard which served under the last emperor. And to this day, we carry on the duty of our forebears, the final decree of His Eminence before Ronka's fall. “By the wisdom of our people was Ronka made to thrive. Such knowledge must never be forgotten, nor may it be suffered to fall into the hands of the wicked. “Keep it secret. Keep it safe. And look to the coming of our allies. Unto them you shall bequeath our all, and thus will Ronka live on.” By his command we have remained in the Rak'tika Greatwood, guardians of Ronka's ruins, and the wisdom held within.<br /> <br /> '''Urianger:''' I hope thou wilt not think the question impertinent, but did thy people's famed longevity perchance play a part in the emperor's decision to entrust this mission unto thee and thine?<br /> '''Almet:''' That was one reason, yes. We Viis would easily live to see three of your elven lifetimes. We were also the fiercest fighters. There are none more fit than us to stand watch over the remains of Ronka.<br /> '''Uimet:''' But our duty has grown ever more perilous in the wake of the Flood.<br /> '''Cymet:''' Settlements such as this one were plentiful before the Light claimed dominion over the land. But now... <br /> '''Cymet:''' Fanow is all that remains.<br /> '''Almet:''' Our numbers dwindle year by year...<br /> '''Almet:''' Before long, there will be no one left to honor the emperor's wishes.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' And you believe we are the allies for whom you have waited?<br /> '''Uimet:''' You have the seal, do you not!? After three millennia of waiting, that alone is nothing short of a miracle! Truth be told, I had begun to think you would never come!<br /> '''Cymet:''' Sister!<br /> vAlmet:''' We are glad of your presence here in the Greatwood. The wisdom of Ronka is yours should you wish it. You need only ask.<br /> <br /> '''Almet:''' You come in search of the Lightwarden...<br /> '''Almet:''' My apologies, but I do not know where it makes its lair. Uimet, do you recall any sightings of this creature?<br /> '''Uimet:''' Hmmm... Not these past thirty summers.<br /> '''Minfilia:''' ''Thirty?'' But that would mean... How old are you, exactly?<br /> '''Uimet:''' ...Young enough to remember!<br /> '''Almet:''' With age comes knowledge. There may yet be one among us who has seen or heard of the abomination you seek.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' We have leave to speak with the other Viis, then?<br /> '''Almet:''' But of course.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Then we should split up and inquire individually. If someone knows something, I would hear it while there is yet time to act.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with the residents of [[Fanow]] to gather information===<br /> '''Loymet:''' You search for the Lightwarden? I cannot say I have ever laid eyes on it. Our duty is to protect the ruins, nothing more. We have no need to strike out in search of such a foe.<br /> <br /> '''Korille:''' An outsider!? B-But how? By the gods─allies of the empire! My sincerest apologies for failing to note your arrival. It was the Warden you wished to know about, yes? My mother─may she rest in peace─told me once of its appearance in these woods. Before settling here in Fanow, she lived in a village near Rak'tika Falls─until it was destroyed by the sin eaters. While out on patrol one day, she spotted a swarm of the abominations, one of which was different from the rest. It was larger, for one thing, but what struck her was the way its fellows seemed to revere it. She was convinced that what she had seen was the Lightwarden.<br /> ''Your exchange with Korille has taught you something about the Lightwarden's possible whereabouts.''<br /> <br /> '''Shoina:''' The Lightwarden? No, I have not seen it. But I have witnessed the horrors of the lesser eaters. How they are wont to hunt in packs and carry off their victims rather than consuming them on the spot. I suspect the Warden is a grotesque, corpulent thing, waiting patiently for its minions to bring its next meal.<br /> <br /> '''Nymet:''' It was not my intention to pry, but your voices carry far. I know what it is you would ask of me. Unfortunately the answer is no, I have not seen the Lightwarden. I patrol the ruins' perimeter regularly, and if it were hiding nearby, I would know about it.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with [[Almet]]===<br /> '''Almet:''' I pray the others were able to provide what I could not.<br /> <br /> '''Almet:''' Near Rak'tika Falls!? Why was I not told of this?<br /> '''Uimet:''' I think I see now why it has never been spotted on our patrols.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' I have never heard of this Rak'tika Falls. I can but assume it lies deep within the woods of Yx'Maja.<br /> '''Cymet:''' Just so. But the tunnel which leads there collapsed after a rather bloody battle with the eaters, and has not been passable for many years. We made several attempts to clear away the rubble, yet each time we were driven back. In the end, we were forced to give it up as lost.<br /> '''Almet:''' ...Thereby making it a suitable place for the Warden to take sanctuary. There is perhaps one way to enter. Though it would be at great peril to you and your companions. The Qitana Ravel, a temple to the northeast. It has been sealed for centuries, but within is a path that leads to the falls.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Can it be opened?<br /> '''Almet:''' For the allies of Ronka, it can. First we must go to the K'mul Astropolis. Once the flow of magic is restored there, the path through the Qitana Ravel can be opened.<br /> '''Uimet:''' This may sound a simple task, but there are certain...obstacles which prevent us from attending to it ourselves.<br /> '''Uimet:''' ...And we know not how to overcome them.<br /> '''Cymet:''' The emperor never granted our forebears leave to look upon the secrets we are charged with protecting. That we might not be tempted, the means to do so were withheld from us. We can but show you the way. The rest will be up to you.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' It would seem we have our work cut out for us, then. Shall we?<br /> ''What will you say? Did you have to ask? / We've no time to waste. / If we must.'' -&gt; We've no time to waste.<br /> <br /> '''Y'shtola:''' Let us be about it then.<br /> '''Almet:''' If that is your wish, it is my duty to escort you.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' While we attend to matters at the K'mul Astropolis, I would ask that your sisters accompany Urianger and Thancred, and share with them all they can of these woods. While we have every intention of investigating Rak'tika Falls, 'tis yet possible the Lightwarden dwells elsewhere. With that in mind, it would behoove us to prepare an alternative course of action.<br /> '''Almet:''' Uimet. Cymet. I leave them to you.<br /> '''Uimet:''' Yes, Sister.<br /> '''Urianger:''' Should our present course prove false, doubt not but that Thancred and I shall find any and all possible paths forward.</div>

They seem to be accepting their situation for the moment─most folk are far too distracted by the sky to worry about wounds or lost homes. They whisper and wonder if the Warrior of Darkness has come...<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' 'Tis to be expected. [Forename], I must ask a favor of you. Would you be so kind as to conceal your involvement in this endeavor for the time being? Seeing the Light recede from Lakeland is a momentous occasion, and many will be swept up in a maelstrom of excitement and confusion. Should you come forth as the legendary Warrior of Darkness, I fear that, no matter how good your intentions, such an appearance would throw the city into disarray. <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' I find myself in agreement with the Exarch, although my concerns are more focused on Eulmore. It may be best if you maintain a low profile until we see how Vauthry responds to all of this.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' My thanks. Though we cannot freely celebrate your success, pray allow your heart to be buoyed by the joy of our citizens─a joy you surely brought into being. Ah, and I must ask the same discretion of you, Captain. 'Tis my intention to share with our people the tale of a great warrior who stood in defiance of the sin eaters. This unnamed champion defeated the Lightwarden, and has since departed for parts unknown, yes?<br /> '''Lyna:''' (''Lyna shrugs'') As you wish, my lord. Your penchant for mystery is nothing new, and I will encourage folk not to question this either.<br /> '''Lyna:''' ...Although I expect to be told the whole truth of it one day. About all of you.<br /> '''Crystal Exarch:''' With that settled, I shall return to the Crystarium and make an address to the people. These explanations and adjustments will consume much of my time, so pray take the opportunity to rest and recover from your exploits. And to think, you'll not even need to shutter the windows to enjoy a dark and peaceful night's sleep! <br /> <br /> '''Lyna:''' I must stay behind and coordinate the evacuation of the remaining survivors. And I hesitate to ask after all you've done here today, but could I ask you to pass on a message on your way to the Pendants? Please let Bragi know that we're bringing in a number of injured, and that any restoratives in the markets need to be reserved for the infirmary.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' We should start making our own way back to the Crystarium─slowly, mind you. It wouldn't do to arrive too soon after the Exarch.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' I'm staying behind as well. I... There's something I need to check on in Holminster.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' We already went through the village top to bottom, Alisaie. We should all take the chance to rest, you included.<br /> '''Alisaie:''' I ''knew'' one of those eaters, and I can't just... I can't rest, not now. So please, I wish to be left alone for a while. And that means you as well, [Forename]─I shall be cross if you try to follow me! I promise to find you later, when I feel myself again.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Hm, just you and me, then. Shall we?<br /> <br /> ===Speak with [[Alphinaud]] in [[the Crystarium]]===<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Well, the Crystarium seems relatively ordered, wouldn't you say? The Exarch's speech must have been reassuring to hear. On the contrary, there is something jubilant in the air─I have a feeling this night won't be quite as “peaceful” as our hooded friend predicted! I think I shall take a brief stroll around town before retiring to my chambers. Once you've discharged your duty to Bragi, I suggest you do the same. Sleep well, [Forename]. I hope untroubled dreams find you and Alisaie both.<br /> <br /> m===Speak with [[Bragi]]===<br /> '''Bragi:''' Aye, what can I do for you? Looking to buy a lantern, like every other stumbling soul in the city?<br /> <br /> '''Bragi:''' ...I see. Well Captain Lyna can rest assured that any potions I spot coming in will be set aside for the wounded. Hang on a moment, if you're carrying messages for the guard, does that mean you were there, then? The battle at Holminster? A stalwart lass like you might want to pay a visit to the Wandering Stairs, make herself known...<br /> '''Bragi:''' I'm sure Glynard can introduce you to some ''interesting'' opportunities.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with [[Glynard]]===<br /> '''Glynard:''' Cyella, more beer for table two! And a couple of pints of mead for table three, while you're at it!<br /> '''Cyella:''' Coming right up!<br /> '''Glynard:''' Sorry, we're rushed off our feet today, [mister/miss]. Can I get you anything? Drinks are on the house!<br /> <br /> '''Glynard:''' Hm? Oh, that Bragi has a twisted sense of humor...<br /> '''Glynard:''' Gahahaha! To think he'd send you to me at a time like this! The first real “night” in near a hundred years has folk all riled up and then some! What's more, there was that eater business at Holminster Switch. They say a Lightwarden was destroyed without a damn trace, and it was the Warrior of Darkness who did the deed!<br /> '''Cyella:''' I really must apologize for Glynard─he's been almost as rowdy as our customers, and that's no small feat. A lot of our regulars are bounty hunters, you see. They mostly go after eaters, and the rumor of the Warrior's appearance was the spark to their kindling. <br /> '''Glynard:''' You know how the weak eaters are drawn to the strong ones, right? Aye, they swarm like angry bees around a queen. You need look no further than Holminster for proof of that. But attacks on that scale don't happen every day, praise the blessed shadow. No, the more common threats are the strays. No one knows why, but every now and again, an eater will leave the pack to prowl alone. Those are the ones you run into on the road if your luck is foul. They're a danger to everyone, so the Settlement council puts bounties on their heads. And our bar here is a convenient place for hunters to gather and share information.<br /> '''Cyella:''' Seems a few of them were inspired by the Warden-slaying even more than most. These are the types who have their sights set on the absolute worst of the strays─a class of eaters that've been dubbed the “Cardinal Virtues.” The Virtues showed up out of nowhere about three summers ago, and when historians heard the descriptions given by survivors, well...apparently they share an appearance with the villains who caused the Flood. And if that doesn't send a chill down your spine, they're also reported to be as tough as Lightwardens─not the kind of prey you can take down single-handed. Our Virtue-hunters had all but given up, but knowing the Warrior of Darkness is out there has lit a fire in their bellies. Just look at them...<br /> <br /> '''Cyella:''' That Hume over there with the oversized sword is Granson. He's in it for revenge. Wants to recruit a comrade-in-arms as tenacious as he is.<br /> '''Cyella:''' The Mystel lad is Lue-Reeq. Don't be fooled by those dewy cheeks─he's as hard a hunter as they come. He just lost a partner, and seems to be on the lookout for a new one...<br /> '''Cyella:''' That's Cerigg. Word is he seeks an expert in magecraft to help fight the Virtue he's after.<br /> '''Cyella:''' Last we have Giott, dwarf and drunkard both. Wanted to join forces with a healer, and only a healer. Something about needing a “mender's wisdom”...?<br /> '''Cyella:''' I've seen my share of competent veterans, and you have that look about you. Maybe you should introduce yourself to one of our hunters. Who knows? Together you might even collect the bounty on a Cardinal Virtue!<br /> '''Glynard:''' Now there's a grand idea. Imagine the prestige my bar would earn if we boasted the patronage of a successful Virtue-hunter!<br /> <br /> ''You have gained access to role quests! A separate quest line and story is now available for tank, physical DPS, magical ranged DPS, and healer roles. In order to reach the final stages of the Shadowbringers main scenario, you must complete at least one role quest line. Speak with a Virtue-hunter at the Wandering Stairs to accept a quest offer!''<br /> <br /> ===Speak with the [[Manager of Suites|manager of the suites]] in [[the Pendants]]===<br /> '''Manager of Suites:''' Welcome back, [sir/miss]. I wonder if anyone can sleep with the city in such an uproar, but will you be retiring to your quarters? Very good. In light─ahem─of the present situation, I have had illumination prepared for all our rooms. No need to rush to the markets for lanterns or candles. Have a pleasant rest, miss.<br /> <br /> ===In your personal room===<br /> ''Warrior of Light opens the window to a starry sky, and the Warrior of Darkness shows up''<br /> '''Ardbert:''' So it's your lot's turn to be the Warriors of Darkness, is it? It's funny how things work out.<br /> ''What will you say? Been watching, have you? / These are my &quot;private&quot; quarters...'' -&gt; These are my &quot;private&quot; quarters...<br /> <br /> '''Ardbert:''' In case you've forgotten, you're the only one who can see me. If we had one of our little chats in public, people might start thinking you'd lost your wits. Those white-haired twins who were with you... I remember them from our battle in the Source. Are they your friends, then? Through thick and thin? <br /> '''Ardbert:''' Aye...<br /> '''Ardbert:''' Then I suggest you keep them close. It's when you charge ahead trying to save someone else that you end up losing those you love. Not that you need telling. I'll bet you've lost plenty. But I wonder...what will it cost you this time? I don't remember when it was that I learned regret wasn't worth the bother. You get numb to it all over the years. The lost comrades, the broken promises, the abandoned principles─just more nagging burdens to ignore.<br /> <br /> ===Elsewhere===<br /> '''???:''' So this is what the Light was hiding... <br /> '''???:''' [He/She]'s here. I must go to [him/her].<br /> <br /> ===Meanwhile, inside an imperial magitek facility in the Source...===<br /> '''Imperial Pilus Prior:''' Intruders! Fan out and find them!<br /> '''Estinien:''' Out of my way! (''Estinien slashes down a soldier and is prepared to stab one'')<br /> '''???:''' Stay your weapon. We are not your enemy.<br /> '''Gaius:''' When the alarum sounded, I wondered what we had done to betray our presence. But I see now we were not the only intruders. Ser Estinien, I presume─the dragoon who plucked the Warrior of Light from the jaws of death. Your armor is most distinct.<br /> <br /> '''Estinien:''' (''withdraws his weapon'') Much as yours once was. But even without it, I see a former legatus still has eyes and ears in unexpected places. &quot;Van“ Baelsar, in the flesh. Though I understand you prefer ”Shadowhunter“?<br /> '''Gaius:''' Hmph. You are in contact with the Scions, I take it. (''Estinien shrugs'')<br /> '''Estinien:''' Hmph. Through no choice of my own. They tracked me down, and conscripted me to their cause. I swear their receptionist was trained as a spy. Not that anyone can escape that Baldesion woman once she has caught the scent of your aether...<br /> '''Gaius:''' If they have resorted to using freelancers, I must assume their attempts to wake the afflicted have failed...<br /> '''Gaius:''' And what of their champion?<br /> '''Estinien:''' ...Away on other business. Thus it has fallen to me to root out any trace of the Empire's new weapon.<br /> <br /> '''Gaius:''' If it is Black Rose you seek, you are too late. My people have already completed your mission here. Yet this is but one factory among many. When they caught wind of our efforts, they built additional facilities to ensure production continues unabated. There will be no one left in the lands they conquer. No citizens to conscript, no skills to exploit, nothing the Empire needs. And they will call it ''victory''.<br /> '''Estinien:''' ...What exactly does this Black Rose do?<br /> '''Gaius:''' The gas is described as a poison, but its actual effect is more arcane in nature. It was created to disrupt the aether in living beings─to bring the flow of their life energies to a standstill. Released over a city, Black Rose could conceivably kill every inhabitant, and all without damaging a single structure.<br /> <br /> '''Imperial Pilus Prior:''' Search every corner! Rouse the barracks if you have to! I want this facility secured!<br /> '''Estinien:''' I have more questions, but now is not the time.<br /> <br /> '''Gaius:''' Ser Estinien. I have an offer for you, but I will make it only once. Since it would seem we seek the same answers...you are welcome to join us.<br /> '''Estinien:''' Hah! From what I hear, you need all the help you can get. In case you don't know, Varis himself confessed that your empire was a creation of the Ascians.<br /> '''Gaius:''' I am aware of what His Radiance said at the parley. Thus I would return to the capital, that I might behold the truth of this corruption with my own eyes. My path leads to Garlemald.</div>

Make your way to the palace's rear entrance, on the eastern edge of the quarter, and identify yourself to the guard on duty.<br /> <br /> * In the midst of the meeting, the Qalyana broodmother somehow summons forth an incarnation of [[Lakshmi|Sri Lakshmi]], plunging the throne room into chaos. Too late, you realize that the guards entrusted with keeping the area free of crystals have themselves been enthralled. As the only warriors present blessed with the protection of the Echo, you and Arenvald must occupy the primal whilst your companions defend the visiting envoys from the Qalyana and the enthralled guards. Rally the hesitant Arenvald, and make your stand against the Lady of Bliss!<br /> ** ※In the event that you leave the palace, speak with the Resistance guard in the Ala Mhigan Quarter to re-enter the throne room.<br /> <br /> * Try as you might, the need to protect your allies from the primal's baleful influence renders you powerless to wrest the initiative from your foe─until, that is, [[Fordola]] arrives to even the odds. Swallowing your questions, you engage Sri Lakshmi together, and succeed at last in banishing her to the aether. The battle is over, but the Butcher still stands before you, free of her fetters, weapon in hand...<br /> <br /> * After a taut moment, Fordola surrenders her sword, and returns to her cell of her own accord. It would seem the danger has passed. Ask Lyse if she and her guests are unharmed.<br /> <br /> * After thanking you for your efforts in the throne room, Lyse returns to conclude her meeting with the envoys from [[Gyr Abania]]. No longer needed, you retire to the rooftop gardens, where you are joined after a time by Raubahn. The General tells you of the council's decision to form an elected government, signaling the end of his time in [[Ala Mhigo]]. You subsequently pass [[Nanamo]] on your way to speak with [[Lyse]], and sense that Raubahn's plans to return to [[Ul'dah]] are about to encounter a sultana-sized wrinkle...<br /> <br /> * As you and your companions discuss the day's events, Nanamo arrives, flanked by [[Pipin]] and a rather sheepish-looking Raubahn. After some prompting by the sultana, the gruff warrior duly announces that he has been dismissed as leader of [[the Immortal Flames]], and stripped of his seat on [[the Syndicate]]. Shocking though these revelations are, it does not take long for the assembled company to make light of them─and small wonder, for Ala Mhigo's dearest son is finally home. Speak with Lyse, and learn of her plans for the future.<br /> <br /> * For the moment, it seems that Lyse intends to return to [[Rhalgr's Reach]]. Follow Alphinaud's lead, and join her at the [[Ala Mhigan Resistance|Resistance]] stronghold.<br /> <br /> * Lyse declares that her time as commander of the Resistance is over, and that she means to invite Raubahn to take her place. With Nanamo's resettlement project also proceeding apace, all present agree that the seeds of hope have at last begun to quicken in the war-torn land of Ala Mhigo.<br /> <br /> ==Dialogue==<br /> ===Quest Acceptance===<br /> '''Raubahn: This Qalyana elder's intentions seem at odds with all we know of her tribe. What think you, [Forename]?<br /> ''What will you say? The enthralled cannot be trusted. / Mayhap even the enthralled can learn to compromise?'' -&gt; The enthralled cannot be trusted.<br /> '''Raubahn:''' Aye, it is said that once a creature has fallen under the sway of a primal, there is no salvation. And I strongly doubt the Qalyana have suddenly broken free of Lakshmi's will. Whatever the truth, I would take no chances. The guard must be strengthened─ideally with people who know a thing or two about primals. Can we rely on the Scions? <br /> '''Arenvald:''' I'll round up our comrades, and send them to the Ala Mhigan Quarter. You can go on ahead if you like, [Forename].<br /> '''Raubahn:''' My thanks. I will see you in the palace.<br /> <br /> ===Join your fellow [[Scions]] in [[the Ala Mhigan Quarter]]===<br /> '''Arenvald:''' [Forename]! I've brought reinforcements.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Arenvald told me of the arrival of our unexpected guests, and I agreed that it would be prudent to call upon Y'shtola and Thancred as well.<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' One can never be too careful when dealing with the enthralled.<br /> '''Thancred:''' I am not familiar with the Qalyana tribe myself, but Alisaie's report suggested that they shunned contact with other races. Despised it, in fact. Even compared to other Ananta.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Indeed. This apparent reversal in attitude is most curious. No one expected a response to our invitation, much less an envoy, and I imagine Lyse was forced to make some rather hasty arrangements in order to accommodate them.<br /> '''Arenvald:''' Speaking of which, how should we deploy ourselves?<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' If the meeting is to be held in the throne room, 'twould seem wise to have eyes both inside and outside the palace.<br /> '''Thancred:''' Y'shtola and I can stand guard without. That leaves the three of you to keep watch over proceedings in the throne room itself.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Understood. We should join General Aldynn inside, then.<br /> '''Arenvald:''' [Forename], do you know of the rear entrance to the palace? It's on the eastern edge of the city, at the top of the stairs. The guard there should have been instructed to let us pass.<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Speak with the [[Resistance Guard|Resistance guard]]===<br /> '''Resistance Guard:''' You're with the Scions, miss? General Aldynn left orders that you were to be escorted inside. If you'll follow me...<br /> <br /> '''Lyse:''' Thank you all for coming. I am Lyse Hext, and I speak for the Resistance. Among you are village elders, refugee leaders; envoys from the Ananta and the Qiqirn. You've come from every corner of Gyr Abania to help decide the future of Ala Mhigo. But before that, I want to ask you a question. What was the first thing you noticed when you came in? For me, it was that empty throne. It has no one to sit on it now. No viceroy. No king. Would any of you like to take their place? Or should someone else sit there?<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Expertly done. Lyse has removed monarchy as a choice early in the game, and positioned them to consider a joint government. All things considered, I would say events have got off to a fine start...<br /> <br /> '''Raganfrid:''' ...and that is Ala Gannha's stance on the matter. <br /> '''Lyse:''' Thank you, Raganfrid. Another vote in favor. Next, let's hear from Shanti of the Qalyana. Tell us, how do your people feel about the idea of a republic...?<br /> '''Shanti:''' The Ananta wish only that those who dwell within Gyr Abania devote themssselves to our faith... You shall all worship Sri Lakshmi! Lady of Bliss! Grace usss once more with your beauteousss visage!<br /> '''Lyse:''' This can't be happening... No crystals were allowed through the door!<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' We can worry about the how of it later! We need to evacuate these people right now, or the primal will make thralls of them all!<br /> '''Arenvald:''' It's up to us!<br /> ''Raubahn kills Shanti. Lakshmi begins her attack, and the Warrior of Light protects everyone. ''<br /> <br /> '''Raubahn:''' Godsdammit! The guards were already turned! Fools!<br /> '''Lyse:''' (''intercepting some of the guards'') No you don't!<br /> '''Raubahn:''' The Qalyana would see us all enthralled.<br /> '''Lyse:''' Then they're going to be sorely disappointed. We have the Warrior of Light and Arenvald to shield us.<br /> '''Raubahn:''' Aye, but they can't well defend your guests and attack the primal, can they? We're stuck on the back foot.<br /> '''Lyse:''' Uh... All right. I think I have an idea. Keep these people safe, General! I'll be back as soon as I can!<br /> '''Raubahn:''' Bah! Whatever she's about, she'd best make it quick! Come, then! Who will be next to die on my steel!?<br /> <br /> ===Speak with [[Arenvald]]===<br /> '''Arenvald:''' How do we fight her without leaving our allies wide open? We can't stay on the back foot forever... ...No, dammit, if I think like that we've already lost. I have the Warrior of Light at my side! W-We can do this! Isn't that right, [Forename]!?<br /> ''Use the duty action Deflect to dissipate the aether spheres Lakshmi releases during the battle. Be warned that allowing an ally to be enthralled by an aether sphere will result in failure. ''<br /> '''Arenvald:''' Damn it all... It's only a matter of time before we miss one... (''Fordola enters and deflects them'') Her!?<br /> '''Fordola:''' What of it? Do you want to kill this thing or not?<br /> <br /> ===Mid-Battle===<br /> '''Arenvald:''' Nice work, Fordola! ...Are you all right, though?<br /> '''Fordola Lupis:''' &lt;huff&gt; This... &lt;gasp&gt; ...This is nothing!<br /> '''Lyse:''' Ugh, it's one thing after another... We have to fight as one!<br /> '''Lakshmi:''' Why do you cling to your misery?<br /> '''Lyse:''' She's starting to weaken! Don't give up!<br /> '''Lakshmi:''' Behold...my divine brilliance!<br /> '''Fordola Lupis:''' What in the─? Her power's out of control! I'll shield us, but you'll have to finish her off! ...Quickly! I can't hold her off forever! ...Kill her! &lt;gasp&gt; You need to kill her now!<br /> '''Lyse:''' Hold on, Fordola... We end this now! For Ala Mhigo! <br /> <br /> ===Warrior of Light Flashback: Fordola===<br /> ''Lyse has handed Fordola her weapon''<br /> '''Fordola:''' ...What is this? <br /> '''Lyse:''' ...I'm only going to say this once. The Ananta just summoned their primal in the throne room. My friends are fighting her, but they need help. They need someone with the Echo, and by the gods, I wish I had it. But I don't. I told you before that you still had time, but things have changed. I need your answer now. You can end it like Zenos...or you can fight for Ala Mhigo. Your choice.<br /> ''Fordola picks up the sword''<br /> <br /> ===Return to the current situation===<br /> '''Raganfrid:''' Seven hells... It's her...the Butcher! (''Fordola experiences flashbacks of everyone's memories, and drops her sword'')<br /> '''Fordola:''' It's done. Take me back to my cell.<br /> '''Raganfrid:''' You are not forgiven. (''Fordola stops walking to exit''). Not you. You I will never forgive. But I will thank you. For standing against a primal and saving us from servitude─you have my thanks. (''Fordola drops a tear'')<br /> <br /> ===Speak with [[Lyse]]===<br /> '''Lyse:''' Well fought, [Forename], Arenvald. That was a near thing.<br /> '''Raubahn:''' Aye, our stand against the Qalyana would have been brief indeed had you not volunteered for guard duty. We'd be enthralled as surely as our sentries were. They must have planned this far in advance...<br /> '''Lyse:''' Security was my responsibility, and I know how dangerous primals can be. I should have─ Gah! It's my fault. My stupid mistake.<br /> '''Raubahn:''' Nay, lass, we were all caught unawares. We will take this as a lesson, and watch our own more carefully in future. You can be sure that the lackeys who smuggled the crystals into the throne room weren't the only thralls in our ranks. The soldier who first spoke up in favor of the Qalyana keeping their weapons springs to mind...<br /> '''Y'shtola:''' A primal's servant is betrayed by his aura. If you mean to conduct an investigation, I can identify any others acting under Sri Lakshmi's influence.<br /> '''Lyse:''' Thanks, Y'shtola. We'd appreciate the help.<br /> '''Arenvald:''' Speaking of help, I almost fell over when Fordola turned up. What was she even doing there?<br /> '''Lyse:''' I asked her to come...<br /> <br /> '''Arenvald:''' Well, that explains it, then.<br /> '''Lyse:''' It's sad, but Raganfrid was right: her victims will never forgive her for what she's done. But I don't think Fordola picked up that sword looking for forgiveness. She just...she wanted to fight for her country. If you say the world in which Fordola grew up is partly to blame for what she became, then as an Ala Mhigan, I feel responsible for improving that world. We can't ignore what's happening right now─we have to show people a better way than vengeance, or we risk giving birth to a new generation of Skulls... I know it's idealistic, but I want to help people to let go of their old grievances and make peace with each other. And I'll hold a thousand meetings and talk till I'm blue in the face if that's what it takes.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' 'Tis a long and arduous path you have chosen, but one well worth walking. Rest assured that I will do what I can to help you reach your destination.<br /> '''Lyse:''' Thank you, Alphinaud. The first step will be to get our representatives back in the throne room. They're a little shaken, but not one of them seemed ready to run. We're all determined to finish what we started.<br /> '''Raubahn:''' I will see that you're not interrupted. [Forename]─you and the Scions are to stand down. Get some rest. You've earned it.<br /> <br /> ===Elsewhere===<br /> '''Raubahn:''' A fine spot to contemplate the heavens... The meeting is over. The envoys have chosen to instate a government modeled on Ishgard's House of Commons─a ruling body of representatives elected by the people. 'Tis a fair decision, and one which signals the end of my part in all this. But I would gaze upon Gyr Abania's stars one last time before I leave... (''Warrior of Light starts walking away, towards Nanamo, and exits'')<br /> <br /> '''Raubahn:''' Forget something? Your Grace!? I─ There was no word...<br /> '''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' Raubahn Aldynn. You are hereby dismissed as General of the Immortal Flames, and relieved of your seat on the Syndicate.<br /> '''Raubahn:''' (''shocked''): But, Your Grace...<br /> '''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' Raubahn, I am no longer a child. Stay here, in your homeland. Work with your brethren. Rebuild Ala Mhigo!<br /> '''Raubahn:''' You desire to stand alone─I understand. But remember what happened...<br /> '''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' I remember full well the consequences of my naivety! And thus did I consult at length with a most trusted advisor ere I embarked upon this course! What trust can there be between us when you withhold the truth from me!? Did you think me oblivious to the anguish in your eyes when you spoke of returning to Ul'dah!? (''Nanamo begins to cry'') For years and years, we have trusted one another, yet now you refuse to confess your heart's desire!?<br /> '''Raubahn:''' I swore an oath to you that day on the sands. I pledged my sword─<br /> '''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' And it has served me well. But in Pipin you have forged a new sword, as sharp and deadly as the blade you bequeathed him. I will show you a sultana who can wield every weapon at her disposal─including Lolorito and his Monetarist cronies! So follow your heart...please. You are home. You are free.<br /> '''Raubahn:''' (''crying'') Nanamo, I...<br /> '''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' Smile for me, Raubahn. I would have this parting be a joyous one.<br /> '''Raubahn:''' Thank you, Your Grace. It has been an honor to serve you and Ul'dah.<br /> '''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' Tomorrow you will serve Ala Mhigo, and fight for the good of all Eorzea. Am I understood?<br /> '''Raubahn:''' Yes, Your Grace...<br /> <br /> ===Speak with [[Lyse]]===<br /> '''Lyse:''' Thanks for shielding us from Lakshmi, you two. If you hadn't been there, the rest of us would be worshipping her by now.<br /> '''Arenvald:''' You're kind to include me, Lyse, but we both know who did most of the work. I could scarce keep track of the battle, let alone land a telling blow. No shame in admitting it. The Warrior of Light has put far better men than me in the shade.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Ahem. Did I mention that I encountered the sultana in the palace? It would seem Her Grace has come to Gyr Abania to oversee the final stages of her relocation project. She was in search of General Aldynn, and I directed her to the rooftop garden. I do hope he was still there...<br /> '''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' (''tersely'') Are you in the habit of gossiping about the affairs of royalty, Master Leveilleur?<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' (''stuttering, shocked''): Certainly not, Your Grace! I was merely informing my companions─<br /> '''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' Be at ease, Alphinaud. 'Twas only a jest. (''Nanamo smiles'') But I must yield the floor to Raubahn. He has an important announcement to make.<br /> '''Raubahn:''' (''ahem'') As of yesternight, I have been relieved of my post in the Immortal Flames and the Syndicate both...<br /> '''Pipin:''' ...I shall be assuming my father's duties. And may I say that Tizona has never felt heavier upon my back.<br /> '''Raubahn:''' 'Twould seem I am in need of employment. Mayhap one of my old acquaintances can introduce me to a mercenary company or some such...<br /> '''Pipin:''' (''Pipin shrugs'') You may be getting on in years, Father, but you'd struggle to find a band of sellswords who wouldn't snap your hand off─your...remaining hand.<br /> '''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' (''Nanamo laughs''): Yes, the Bull of Ala Mhigo need not be put out to pasture just yet...<br /> '''Raubahn:''' Your Grace has developed a wicked edge to her humor. And you, Pipin, would do well not to laugh when the future may hold the same for you!<br /> '''Lyse:''' So...does this mean you're staying?<br /> '''Raubahn:''' Aye. That seems to be the way of it. I would be glad to aid you in rebuilding our nation. If you'll have me.<br /> '''Lyse:''' &quot;If,“ he says! Welcome home, Raubahn.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Well, that was unexpected...though you seem distinctly unsurprised. Either you are more astute than I give you credit for...or I am losing my touch. In any event, one thing is certain: Ala Mhigo will rejoice at the homecoming of her dearest son.<br /> <br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Lyse must be overjoyed to know that General Aldynn is staying...though I suppose I shouldn't call him “General” anymore.<br /> '''Arenvald:''' Raubahn is the veteran of a hundred battlefields. Lyse couldn't ask for a more reliable ally to have at her side.<br /> '''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' I have asked enough of you, [Forename]. My only words for you now are those of gratitude.<br /> '''Pipin:''' I must assume Father's responsibilities without delay, lest our rivals─both inside and outside Ul'dah─treat his dismissal as a window of opportunity. Rest assured, they will find Tizona's edge just as sharp in my hands.<br /> '''Raubahn:''' It seems my road has come full circle. I appreciate the support you showed for my earlier decision, overruled though it was!<br /> <br /> '''Lyse:''' I think it's about time I headed back to Rhalgr's Reach. What's next for all of you?<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Alisaie will be eager to hear of recent events, so I shall join you, if you've no objections.<br /> '''Lyse:''' I'd welcome the company! [Forename], why don't you come along to the Reach as well once you've said your farewells to Nanamo and the others.<br /> <br /> ===Speak with [[Lyse]] in [[Rhalgr's Reach]]===<br /> '''Lyse:'' Well, here we are again!<br /> '''Alisaie:''' Alphinaud has regaled me with a thrilling tale of hidden treasure troves, mid-meeting betrayals, unlikely alliances, and joyous homecomings. It would seem I missed...everything.<br /> '''M'naago:''' I was patrolling the palace grounds with Thancred and Y'shtola when we heard the report of a primal in the throne room. I honestly doubted my own ears. As others have said, we were lucky to have our Echo-blessed champions nearby this time, but we'll need to keep a closer eye on the Qalyana...<br /> '''Lyse:''' You can say that again. This whole episode has reminded me just how far apart our kinds still are. It looks like centuries of fear and mistrust really can't be washed away in a day. But someone has to make an effort at reconciliation if these conflicts are ever going to end. Naturally, a lot of people are crying out for vengeance, but I've been doing my best to calm things down. Violent reprisals will only lead to more summonings.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Indeed. Violence will ever beget violence─as the Empire has learned to its cost in recent times. <br /> '''Lyse:''' In any case, summoning Lakshmi was the broodmother's doing, and whoever replaces her might not be so keen on the idea. We'll just have to watch and wait. Which isn't to say we won't be putting the safety of our allies in the Vira and M tribes first. I plan to have Resistance scouts keep track of the Qalyana's movements at all times.<br /> '''M'naago:''' My parents will be relieved to hear that. What are your plans for the rest of the Resistance army, out of interest? Are we to prepare for imperial counterattacks?<br /> '''Lyse:''' That would be a question for the Resistance's newest recruit─a military commander with far more experience than me!<br /> '''M'naago:''' What? The Bull of Ala Mhigo!?<br /> '''Lyse:''' We call it an army, but the Resistance is really a collection of smaller, independent groups. And when Conrad passed his command on to me, that authority only extended to the freedom fighters based in Rhalgr's Reach. He just happened to be serving as the Resistance spokesman at the time, and needed someone to take over the role while everything was in disarray. But that time has passed. When I speak with the other leaders about reforming the army under the new government, I'll be nominating Raubahn as the overall commander of our forces. He has more experience than the rest of us put together, and we stand to learn a lot from him.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Indeed. He is in all respects the ideal choice. Assuming he accepts the post, Ala Mhigo will have added a formidable weapon to its arsenal. And given the progress of Nanamo's resettlement initiative, I see great cause for hope. The seeds which we so carefully sowed have begun to quicken, my friends.<br /> '''Lyse:''' I like that. We tend to our promises, and watch as Ala Mhigo blooms.<br /> <br /> ===In Kitsune===<br /> '''Gosetsu:''' I do give thanks to the kami that my makeshift raft withstood the fury of the seas... But there their generosity ended. Without coins in our pockets for new attire, we are doomed to look like so much jetsam. O, woe betide the poor man in a city of rich merchants...<br /> '''Yotsuyu:''' These dango are delicious! Will you have one?<br /> '''Gosetsu:''' Hm!? ''More'' sweetbreads!? I surrendered my blade to secure what few coins we have! Bah! (''Gosetsu shakes his head'') 'Tis like talking to a child...Why fate saddled me with this burden I shall never know...but I am alive, and I must return to my master's side! Come, Tsuyu. We shall find a ship to carry us across the Ruby Sea!<br /> <br /> ''Meanwhile, in the imperial palace''<br /> ===The Imperial Palace===<br /> '''Imperial Pilus Prior:''' Have you read the reports? First Doma, then Ala Mhigo─and Lord Zenos put to the sword!<br /> '''Imperial Tribunus Militum:''' Do not believe everything you read. I hear the viceroy was merely wounded, and that he has already returned to the capital. Naturally, the savages beat their chests, and boast loudly of taking his head, regardless.<br /> '''Imperial Pilus Prior:''' Nay... Lord Zenos lives?<br /> '''Imperial Tribunus Militum:''' Deplorable. That our own officers should be fooled by Eorzean misinformation... Small wonder the provinces have begun rising up in rebellion. We must prepare an official, and above all accurate announcement to quell these pernicious rumors.<br /> '''Imperial Pilus Prior:''' They would wage war with empty words... Let them produce the viceroy's remains, then! We shall soon put the lie to their claims.</div>

My absence will not go unnoticed by the Sultansworn for long, and there are other places I would visit. To the Arrzaneth Ossuary! <br /> <br /> ===Speak with [[Nanamo]] at [[Arrzaneth Ossuary]]===<br /> '''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' When the Calamity threatened, Raubahn led the Alliance forces into battle on the plains of Carteneau. And I remained here. I prayed with all my heart that Archon Louisoix would have the power to rouse the Twelve. Since that day, I hvae made a custom of visiting this shrine during each of my little excursions. Here, I seek the blessing of Thal, reflect upon my choices, and ask myself if I am fulfilling my duties as a sultana. You are rightly celebrated as a champion because you have led the line in a hundred battles for the good of Eorzea. In much the same way, I believe the measure of a monarch lies in how she leads her people in times of adversity. If I am to be a sultana worthy of the name, I cannot turn a blind eye to the troubles facing Ul'dah. I have chosen my path, [Forename]. With Ala Mhigo now freed from imperial chains, I finally see a way to aid the refugees. Already, many displaced Ala Mhigans seek to begin the long trek home. To facilitate that process, I have made a small contribution - an artisan's school in Rhalgr's Reach for any who wish to learn new trades. Realistically, however, it will take years for such training to yield tangible benefits. But we do not have years. These people will need shelter and employment if they are to survive, and ''this time'' the Ul'dahn treasury shall provide! Precisely where and how to allocate the necessary funds is, of course, another question...<br /> ''What will you say? Might you ask a member of the Syndicate for advice? / Why not seek the advice of one who employs refugees? / ...'' -&gt; Why not seek the advice of one who employs refugees? <br /> '''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' A wise suggestion. Mayhap a visit to the Gold Saucer is in order. Its proprietor is a member of the Syndicate, and he is one of the few who pay refugees a fair wage. I wonder, are you acquainted with Godbert Manderville? Then I need not explain his eccentric nature. Let us make our way to the landing, and I will see that word is sent to the Gold Saucer. Godbert should be only too glad to receive us. <br /> <br /> ===Speak with [[Nanamo]] at the [[airship]] landing===<br /> '''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' I have ridden aboard a public airship before, but this shall be my first visit to the Gold Saucer. I must confess to some excitement! <br /> <br /> ===Speak with [[Nanamo]] at the [[Gold Saucer]]===<br /> '''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' I had heard descriptions of its splendor, yet I never dreamed it would be so bright and inviting... N-No! I couldn't possibly - ! We did not come here to fritter away the royal coin! Godbert will be expecting us. Come, let us head ''directly'' to the lounge and ignore these...these...gaudy temptations! <br /> <br /> ===Speak with [[Nanamo]]===<br /> '''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' I believe this is where we are to meet Lord Manderville. Shall we sit while we await his coming? <br /> <br /> '''Godbert:''' My apologies, Your Grace, I have kept you waiting! <br /> '''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' No apologies are necessary, Godbert. My request was sudden, and you were kind to make yourself available at such short notice. <br /> '''Godbert:''' When the intrepid [Forename Surname] and the sultana herself come calling, there is no more important engagement! <br /> '''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' As to the purpose of my visit, I would have your thoughts on how the crown might best aid the refugees residing in Thanalan. You are aware, I am sure, that many of the Ala Mhigo's displaced sons and daughters long to return to their newly liberated homeland. And you are also aware of how they will suffer without shelter and work to sustain them. I would use our nation's wealth to spare them that suffering. What advice have you for me on the matter of how it might best be distributed? <br /> '''Godbert:''' ...The unusual circumstances of our meeting, and Your Grace's choice of companion, would suggest to me a desire for an honest and unvarnished opinion. I shall give you one. My advice to you is: &quot;Stop.&quot; Taxing Ul'dah's wealth to save Ala Mhigan refugees is a terrible, terrible idea. <br /> '''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' You ''oppose'' my proposition? <br /> '''Godbert:''' Most emphatically. I agree with Your Grace that the refugees must have housing and employment, but what profit is there for Ul'dah in this arrangement? <br /> '''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' ''Profit''? After all you have done for Gyr Abania's displayed, I thought you the very last person to seek to benefit from their misfortune! <br /> '''Godbert:''' Forgive me, Your Grace, but you appear to be laboring under a misapprehension. It is a fine endeavor to support one's fellow man. I fear, however, that your stance is one born of pity - your intent is to &quot;save&quot; the refugees, is it not? For all our potential, we are indolent creatures by nature. If unconditional charity is all we know, then we begin to rely upon it - to expect it. And then we must consider Ul'dah's own poor and downtrodden. Should they hear of you spending the nation's coin - not to improve their lot, but to nurture the distance citizens of Ala Mhigo - it is unlikely they will applaud your generosity. Surely it is not Your Grace's intention to foster new resentments, but to spread goodwill? <br /> '''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' Indeed. ...Then any support I pledge to the refugees must promote self-sufficiency, whilst also serving the interests of the people of Ul'dah. <br /> '''Godbert:''' Exactly so! Such an arrangement will create a far more equitable relationship with the returning Ala Mhigans, even as it generates the revenue required to win the approval of your subjects. <br /> '''Nanamo Ul Namo:''' You have given me much to ponder, Lord Manderville. I thank you for your candor.</div>

But even the best-laid plans of inspectors extraordinaire are wont to go awry, and our phantom quarry successfully absconded with the so-called Maiden's Virtue. With no rest for the weary agent of enquiry, I have ventured to the Coliseum to begin my preliminary search of the environs. This time, I swear on the Manderville name, the phantom thief shall meet his match!<br /> : 　　　　　　　　　　　　*　*　*<br /> : Ellie believes she has identified the thief's next target: a priceless treasure set to be awarded to the winner of the Mythril Cup, a tournament scheduled to be held at the Coliseum in the coming days. She informs you that her colleague Ganelon is in Ul'dah as you speak, researching for a feature on this very event. Travel to town and see what the reporter might tell you.<br /> <br /> * With some encouragement from Ellie, Ganelon shares his findings with you. It would seem that many of the scheduled combatants for the Mythril Cup have withdrawn due to injuries sustained under curious circumstances, leading to suspicions of foul play. Speak with the gatekeeper Yuyubaya to gain entrance to the Coliseum, that you might further question the relevant parties.<br /> <br /> * Upon arriving at the Coliseum and speaking with the organizer, one Dour Meadow, you soon reunite with a certain gentleman inspector and consulting detective, with the rivalry between the two as heated as ever. With a mind to keep the prizes out of the hands of the thief, you enter the tourney at Inspector Briardien's behest, submitting your application to the tentacled receptionist known by the name of Ultros. Fearing for your safety now that you have declared your intention to fight, Ellie suggests that you return to Ganelon and seek out more information on the shady attacks against potential combatants.<br /> <br /> * Ganelon shares with you his suspicions that the confident gladiatrix by the name of Avila might be in some way connected to the curious incidents. He encourages you to seek out one Raging Rat, a gladiator who fell to the selfsame Avila in the preliminary rounds, that you might gain the information you need to protect yourself.<br /> <br /> * Raging Rat suspects that Avila's renowned “Tempest Blade” is some sort of sorcery, while Ellie wonders if the Ala Mhigan shieldmaiden might not be being aided by one of her fellow refugees. Meanwhile, Hildibrand and Nashu have taken a harmless, if seemingly unfruitful, interest in a certain eight-legged individual. Humor him by traveling to the Coliseum and seeing where his investigation might have led.<br /> <br /> * Alongside Hildibrand, you pursue the shifty Ultros about and around the Coliseum. As expected, his behavior is most curious, if not particularly enlightening. Return to the Coliseum entrance and listen to Nashu's latest musings on the movements of her quarry.<br /> <br /> * Your pursuit of Ultros has proven to be every bit as fruitful as expected─which is to say, not very. Perhaps Inspector Hildibrand has managed to glean something from this utterly unremarkable turn of events. Inquire with him as to what may be on his mind.<br /> <br /> ==Dialogue==<br /> ===Accepting the Quest===<br /> '''Ellie:''' [Forename]! I was wondering when you'd show up. I've got the latest scoop on the “victor's spoils” that our many-faced friend has set his sights on.<br /> '''Ellie:''' Have you visited the Coliseum of late? There's a tourney in the works, and it's looking to be a big one─the Mythril Cup, sponsored by none other than Amajina &amp; Sons Mineral Concern.<br /> '''Ellie:''' They say that Master Fyrgeiss will be furnishing the prizes himself from his personal collection. Small wonder it's captured the attention of Mister Stickyfingers.<br /> '''Ellie:''' You ''are'' familiar with the Concern, yes? It's only the largest mining interest in the sultanate, after all.<br /> '''Ellie:''' The chairman, Master Fyrgeiss, sits on the Syndicate, and possesses such wealth that rumor has it he could buy half the realm if he chose to.<br /> '''Ellie:''' He's also renowned for being something of a martial arts enthusiast. With his position affording him little opportunity to test his own skills, he settles for living vicariously through the exploits of others─hence his sponsorship of tournaments like the Mythril Cup.<br /> '''Ellie:''' My colleague Ganelon is in Ul'dah covering the tourney as we speak. If we were to track him down, I bet he'd be able to give us something to get our investigation started.<br /> '''(Optional)'''<br /> '''Ellie:''' Let's make for Ul'dah, find Ganelon, and get this investigation started!<br /> <br /> ==Speaking with Ganelon in Ul'dah (Cutscene)==<br /> '''Ganelon:''' Yes? I'm a busy man. If you're looking for small talk, I suggest you look elsewhere.<br /> <br /> '''Ellie:''' No need to be rude, Ganelon─he's a friend of mine. Now, what say you share your latest findings with us? I promise I'll make it worth your while.<br /> <br /> '''Ganelon:''' E-Ellie!? Hmph. If it isn't the ''Mythril Eye's'' star reporter. Come to have a laugh at Ganelon's expense before returning to pen your latest front-page feature, eh? '''Ganelon:''' &lt;sigh&gt; Oh, very well. Just promise you'll put in a good word for me with the higher-ups, okay? Now, let me tell you this: there's strange things afoot at the Coliseum.<br /> <br /> '''???:''' &gt;&gt; Bugger all! It's a travesty, I tell you! &lt;&lt;<br /> <br /> '''Ganelon:''' Hotch, Hewe, and Haymo! Whatever is the matter? And where, pray tell, is Hutchin? The four of you will compete for the Cup together, yes?<br /> <br /> '''Hewe:''' I fear that an unfortunate mishap has left Hutchin in no condition to fight. We were just on our way to convey the dire news to Dour Meadow.<br /> <br /> '''Hotch:''' &gt;&gt; ''Mishap'', my arse─this was sabotage! Some bloody coward out there will stop at nothing to eliminate his competition. I swear it on my subligar! &lt;&lt;<br /> <br /> '''???:''' Lower your voice, Hotch. My head stings enough without your bloody shouting.<br /> <br /> '''Haymo:''' H-Hutchin! Sh-Should you not be resting your wounds? Oh, but forgive your incompetent, unworthy comrade! If I had been quicker with my mantra, we would still be four men strong!<br /> <br /> '''Hutchin:''' Do not berate yourself so, Haymo. In victory and in defeat, the Mantravilles fight as one. You bear no more responsibility for my wounds than I. <br /> '''Hutchin:''' Anyroad, I daresay I'll not be getting back into fighting fettle by arsing about in bed. I'm ready to chant some mantras─how about the lot of you!?<br /> <br /> '''Haymo:''' &gt;&gt; H-Hutchin! For you, I am ''always'' ready! &lt;&lt;<br /> <br /> '''Hutchin:''' &gt;&gt; Now ''that's'' what I like to hear! A thousand mantras, and I want each one to ring out over the Sagolii! &lt;&lt;<br /> <br /> '''Ellie:''' &gt;&gt; The...''Mantravilles''!? &lt;&lt;<br /> <br /> '''Ganelon:''' Aye. As Hutchin tells it, they took their name from a training partner they met at the Fist of Rhalgr─a man they most admired for his devotion and chiseled physique.<br /> <br /> '''Ellie:''' ...Consider me not the least bit interested. This talk of attacks on the competitors, however─of this I would hear more.<br /> <br /> '''Ganelon:''' Ah, yes. I mentioned that strange things were afoot, yes? With mere days left before the Mythril Cup, a staggering number of would-be combatants have withdrawn, citing a host of curious ailments and injuries. <br /> '''Ganelon:''' With the list of entrants shrinking by the day, the organizers have been forced to abandon the elimination format in favor of a mass melee between what few battlers remain.<br /> <br /> '''Ellie:''' The phantom thief's challenge... Gladiators dropping like flies... No, this is no mere coincidence. I would speak to the individual in charge of the event. Where might I find him?<br /> <br /> '''Ganelon:''' Though the Concern sponsors the tourney, the day-to-day organizational duties are being handled by a fellow by the name of Dour Meadow. He should be in his office within the Coliseum's halls. I'll send word to the gateman, Yuyubaya─he owes the ''Mythril Eye'' a favor or two.<br /> <br /> '''Ellie:''' Splendid! Come, [Forename], we've got a case to crack!<br /> <br /> ====Optional Dialogue====<br /> '''Ganelon:''' With gladiators dropping one after the next, I've had to rewrite my Mythril Cup preview five times in the past two days. Ah, make that six...<br /> '''Ellie:''' Let's go find this Dour Meadow and see what he can tell us about the tourney. Ganelon said we could find him in his office at the Coliseum, yes?<br /> <br /> ===Speaking with Yuyubaya at the Coliseum (Cutscene)===<br /> '''Yuyubaya:''' From the Mythril Eye, you say? Then by all means, you are free to enter!<br /> ====Cutscene Start====<br /> '''Ellie:''' I am Ellie, reporter for the ''Mythril Eye''─never blinking, all-seeing, you know the deal, yes? And you must be Dour Meadow. I was hoping I could ask you a few questions about the upcoming tourney.<br /> <br /> '''Dour Meadow:''' Gar har har! Who am I to argue with free publicity? And from a charmin' little thing like yerself. Ask away, me girl!<br /> '''Dour Meadow:''' That said, between the challenge from that so-called phantom thief and now these bizarre attacks targeting the fighters, our tourney's already the talk o' the town! Not that you'll see me complainin'─provided someone's still left to fight, that is.<br /> '''Dour Meadow:''' Yer free to investigate as ye wish, but ye'd be smart to exercise some caution. Needless to say, recent events have everyone here a bit on edge. Why, just moments ago one fighter almost took off another's head for insultin' the color o' his subli─<br /> '''Dour Meadow:''' Looks like we've got ourselves another...hm? These two aren't in the entry books...<br /> <br /> '''Nashu Mhakaracca:''' ...And our challenger unleashes a vicious right hook as the gentleman inspector was channeling his strength for his next attack. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner!<br /> <br /> '''Ellie:''' I-Inspector Briardien! As efficient as ever, I see.<br /> <br /> '''Hildibrand:''' A true gentleman...&lt;cough&gt;...eschews violence...&lt;cough&gt;...Inspector.<br /> <br /> '''Briardien:''' ...You were thinking. It annoyed me. <br /> '''Briardien:''' Dour Meadow, I presume. Tell me everything you can about the prizes for this tourney. And try to be brief.<br /> <br /> '''Dour Meadow:''' Was wonderin' when ye might ask. Master Fyrgeiss has spared no expense in making the Mythril Cup the most lucrative tourney this Coliseum's ever seen. The victor will receive a true treasure from his collection─the Warden's Grace, a ring fitted with the largest sun sphere ye'll find outside o' Qarn. <br /> '''Dour Meadow:''' The second- and third-place prizes are nothin' to sneeze at, neither. But I don't care how many faces he's got─we've nothin' to fear from this thief. The Concern has hired an elite regiment of Stone Torches to watch over the vault day an' night.<br /> <br /> '''Briardien:''' Yes, just as the Brass Blades were so successful in stopping the thief last time. If you want your treasures safe, go fetch them and bring them to me. And be quick about it─I haven't all day.<br /> <br /> '''Dour Meadow:''' Fear I can't do that, Inspector. After all, what proof do I have that you ain't mister many-faces in another of his elaborate getups?<br /> '''Dour Meadow:''' No, if you want to get your hands on the spoils, you'll have to claim them as any other would─in battle.<br /> '''Dour Meadow:''' As a matter of fact, what with the ranks thinned as they are, we're actively recruiting new competitors. The more, the merrier─and the more lucrative, at that. Gar har har!<br /> '''Dour Meadow:''' Now, where did our receptionist get off to? Over here, ye slimy bugger! We've got some fresh blood for the melee!<br /> <br /> '''???:''' Give me a moment, will ya? I've only got eight arms! ...Or were they legs?<br /> '''Slobbering Cephalopod:''' Ya called? I was just about to give the lovely Miss Avila the grand tour!<br /> <br /> '''Nashu Mhakaracca:''' I-Inspector Hildibrand, look! <br /> He's...purple!<br /> <br /> '''Hildibrand:''' Astute as ever, Nashu! This color, this overabundance of appendages...I smell a case!<br /> <br /> '''Dour Meadow:''' Ah, that's just my receptionist, Ultros. Don't be startled, now─he's an ugly little bugger, but he's friendly enough. Word has it he was one of many bizarre creatures born from a recent experiment with ancient incantations at the Thaumaturges' Guild. <br /> '''Dour Meadow:''' They were going to seal him away in a hole in the desert with the others, when he opened his slobberin' mouth and started pleadin' for his life. “I just want to live in peace! I'll do anything! Anything!” So the management hired him to perform odd jobs about the Coliseum.<br /> <br /> '''Ultros:''' And am I ever glad they did! I tell ya, this job ain't glamorous, but it sure has its perks. <br /> '''Ultros:''' What a delicious morsel! I wanna get my tentacles around her...<br /> <br /> '''Avila:''' Hmph. I know not who you are or where you hail from, and I do not care. If you dare challenge me, my Tempest Blade will show you no mercy. <br /> '''Avila:''' You can forget about your case, ''Inspector''. There is only one who will claim the victor's spoils, and that is me.<br /> <br /> '''Ultros:'''Ooh, I just loooooove it when she talks tough. Now, who's the chump who wanted to get a pummeling by my lovely little Avi?<br /> <br /> '''Hildibrand:''' Though a gentleman takes far more pride in rescuing fair damsels than fighting them, I fear we have little recourse. I, Hildibrand─agent of enquiry, inspector extraordinaire─shall do what must be done to...<br /> <br /> '''Briardien:''' [Forename] [Surname] will be entering the tournament on my behalf.<br /> <br /> '''Dour Meadow:''' [Forename] [Surname]? Ye ''do'' look like a [Surname]... Well, bugger me with a spear! To think I'd see the day when a Warrior o' Light stood in my Coliseum! <br /> '''Dour Meadow:''' Hear that clink-clink-clinkin'? That's the sound o' gil pourin' into our coffers when the public finds out that a true Eorzean hero will be steppin' into the ring to fight for the Mythril Cup! Oh, and I reckon yer friend can tag along, too. Show 'em where to sign, Ulty!<br /> <br /> '''Ellie:''' With [Forename], I suppose we have as good a chance as any. Now we just need to make sure that she/he doesn't come down with some curious injury.<br /> <br /> '''Briardien:''' That gladiatrix─Avila, was it?─seemed quite certain of her chances at victory. ''Suspiciously'' certain, I would say.<br /> <br /> '''Hildibrand:''' Haha! I am already ten steps ahead of you, Inspector! That Ultros fellow seemed most knowledgeable about Miss Avila. Come, Nashu─the investigation is afoot!<br /> <br /> '''Ellie:''' As much as that sounds like an ''amazingly'' productive line of investigation, might I suggest that our first priority is to keep [Forename] here safe. Let us return to Ganelon and see what else he can tell us of these mysterious attacks on the combatants.<br /> <br /> '''Briardien:''' ...Very well. I shall leave that task to you. I have a lead of my own to investigate. Should you uncover any new information, I trust you will share it with me at first opportunity.<br /> <br /> ====Optional Dialogue====<br /> '''Yuyubaya:''' You must have nerves of solid steel to enter this tourney with all the ill rumors floating about. Do watch your back, will you?<br /> <br /> '''Hildibrand:''' I suppose that our questioning of Mister Ultros can wait. Let us see if this Ganelon fellow can enlighten us!<br /> <br /> '''Ellie:''' Look, I know you're the Warrior of Light and all, but we can't afford to take any chances. Be on your guard, [Forename].<br /> <br /> ===Speaking with Ganelon in front of the Coliseum===<br /> '''Ganelon:''' You again? I've already told you that─ What? Entered the tourney, you say? Are you out of your bleeding mind!?<br /> '''Ganelon:''' ...Look. I've got a suspicion or two, which I'm happy to share with you. But in the end, you have to protect yourself, you hear?<br /> '''Ganelon:''' So I've been asking around, and it seems that more than a few of the fighters who pulled out of the tourney were scheduled to fight a warrioress by the name of Avila.<br /> '''Ganelon:''' Now, I can't make any promises, but my instincts tell me this girl is bad news. But don't take it from me when you can hear it from someone who crossed blades with her just days ago.<br /> '''Ganelon:''' ...Fellow by the name of Raging Rat. Had the misfortune of being matched up with Avila in the preliminary round, and earned himself a right bruising from it all. Last I heard, he was resting up back at the Pugilists' Guild. Why don't you pay him a visit? <br /> <br /> '''(Optional)'''<br /> '''Hildibrand:''' Oho, the plot ever thickens! While I have my doubts that the lovely Avila is behind these dastardly incidents, it would behoove us to hear what this Raging Rat fellow has to say.<br /> <br /> ===Speaking with Raging Rat (Cutscene)===<br /> '''Raging Rat:''' Come to have a good laugh at ol' Raging Rat's expense, 'ave ye? Well, yer not the first. I say, is there not a man in this entire realm with an onze of sympathy!?<br /> <br /> '''Hildibrand:''' Greetings, good sir! How fortunate you are today that your guest is Hildibrand Manderville, gentleman and inspector. Now, if you would, please enlighten me to how exactly it was that you were beaten to a bloody pulp by Miss Avila!<br /> <br /> '''Raging Rat:''' &gt;&gt; ''Gentleman'' my arse! Have ye not a whit o' delicacy!? &lt;&lt;<br /> '''Raging Rat:''' ...Never ye mind. Look, the records may say I lost, but I'll admit to nothin' o' the sort. I'll shout it at the top o' my lungs if no one else will. The girl doesn't fight fair.<br /> '''Raging Rat:''' Tempest Blade!? Some kind o' foul sorcery, if you ask me. Mark my words: that girl is up to no good. If she weren't so damned easy on the eyes, she'd be rottin' in gaol as we speak.<br /> '''Raging Rat:''' The girl's Ala Mhigan, or haven't ye heard? You know how it is with those refugees. Why fight with honor when ye've got nothin' to lose?<br /> <br /> '''Ellie:''' Yes, and why not disparage an entire people in a pathetic attempt to salvage your sorry pride? This one's a real piece of work, [Forename]. Let's be on our way.<br /> <br /> '''Raging Rat:''' ...I didn't mean no offense, miss. Just tellin' it like it is, as it were.<br /> <br /> '''Nashu Mhakaracca:''' Perhaps it truly is some manner of sorcery, as the fellow says. Or perhaps she works with an accomplice?<br /> <br /> '''Ellie:''' She didn't strike me as the magic-wielding type. If I were a betting woman, I'd put my gil on the latter.<br /> <br /> '''Hildibrand:''' Ah, Miss Ellie! The thrill of the chase has struck a chord with you, as well! Yes, I can see it in the wrinkles beneath your eyes! We might very well make an inspectress of you yet!<br /> <br /> '''Ellie:''' I'll give you a good wrinkle, you insensitive boor! ...Ahem. If what the man says is true, it's likely that her fellow Ala Mhigans might sympathize with her plight. An accomplice would hardly be out of the question.<br /> <br /> '''Hildibrand:''' ...Yes, I can see it now! Two unfortunate souls, shunned by those around them, united by destiny and a common desire for justice! <br /> '''Hildibrand:''' &gt;&gt; Ample appendages whirling wildly, sending gusts of wind flying every which way! Avila and Ulty─a match made in the heavens! Were it any more obvious, I could have solved this case without leaving my home! &lt;&lt;<br /> <br /> '''Nashu Mhakaracca:''' Incredible! Your powers of deduction never fail to amaze, Inspector!<br /> <br /> '''Ellie:''' What ''is'' it with you two and that infernal octopus!?<br /> <br /> '''Hildibrand:''' Mister Ultros should still be at the Coliseum. Let us hurry before he slithers back off to whencesoever he came!<br /> <br /> ===Speaking with Hildibrand in the Coliseum (Cutscene)===<br /> '''Hildibrand:''' Shhh, friend, and look over yonder!<br /> '''Hildibrand:''' Behold those exquisite legs! Those stylish tentacles! The unearthly undulations of his squirmy, squishy body! Yes, our friend Ulty is a most fascinating creature indeed.<br /> '''Hildibrand:''' Behold how he carefully eyes the gladiatrix before him. What manner of mischief is he plotting!?<br /> '''Hildibrand:''' He speaks! Yes, this is most suspicious indeed!<br /> '''Hildibrand:''' Oho, what is this? The girl has fled in a panic!<br /> '''Hildibrand:''' Our friend Ulty appears to be discouraged. Look at the way his shoulders sag! ...Or how they would sag, if he had shoulders.<br /> '''Hildibrand:''' Our quarry is on the move! Quickly, Nashu─we must pursue!<br /> <br /> '''(Optional)'''<br /> '''Hildibrand:''' Aha, there he is! You will not escape us so easily, Mister Ultros!<br /> <br /> ===Speaking with Nashu Mhakaracca in front of the Coliseum (Cutscene)===<br /> '''Nashu Mhakaracca:''' Mister Ulty seems to have found himself another gladiatrix. What might he be plotting ''this'' time?<br /> '''Nashu Mhakaracca:''' Look at those succulent legs! I reckon they'd taste just wonderful in a good marinara sauce!<br /> '''Nashu Mhakaracca:''' Mmm...marinara sauce... Ah, he speaks!<br /> '''Nashu Mhakaracca:''' ...And another girl rushes off. Whatever did he say to her?<br /> '''Nashu Mhakaracca:''' ...He looks so sad! Shall we douse him in lemon butter and put him out of his misery, Inspector? Whatever is he doing with these girls, anyway?<br /> <br /> '''Ellie:''' Call me crazy, but I think he...likes them?</div>

Might be as someone's eyes are playin' tricks on 'em, o' course, but it don't pay to gamble in this business.<br /> '''Hyuran Coachman:''' Now I know ye can handle yerself in a fight, but this lot here's another story. So I was thinkin' ye might go on ahead an' have a quick look around─make sure the area's safe, like. An' if ye come across anythin' dangerous, ye know what to do.<br /> '''Hyuran Coachman:''' When yer satisfied the way's clear, meet us outside Horizon. The Blades tell me the road there's safe, so I reckon we can make it that far on our own─assumin' the selfsame bastards don't try to rob us, that is.<br /> <br /> ====Optional Dialogue====<br /> '''Hyuran Coachman:''' You go on ahead, son/miss, an' meet us in Horizon when yer satisfied our beastie problem's solved. We'll be on our way soon enough.<br /> <br /> '''Hozan:''' These reports of a great beast on the road to Ul'dah are most troubling...<br /> <br /> '''Homei:''' Fascinating creatures... Whence did they come?<br /> <br /> '''Yozan:''' Ugh, Grandfather is so lucky. These─''hurk''!─horsebirds smell terrible!<br /> <br /> '''Koharu:''' Ohh, it's just so...''fluffy''!<br /> <br /> ===Speaking with Hyuran coahman outside Horizon===<br /> ====Optional Dialogue====<br /> '''Homei:''' I must say, that was a surprisingly pleasant ride! Mayhap the journey to Revenant's Toll will not be so bad after all.<br /> <br /> '''Hozan:''' It pleases me to see you well. Come, let the coachman know we can continue onward to Ul'dah.<br /> <br /> '''Yozan:''' Which do you think would win in a race? A horse or a horsebird?<br /> <br /> '''Koharu:''' They have wings, so does that mean they can fly? And does that mean ''we'' can fly if we ride one!?<br /> <br /> ====Mandatory Dialogue====<br /> '''Hyuran Coachman:''' So there ''was'' a beastie! “Was” bein' the operative word, eh!? Hah hah!<br /> ====Cutscene Start====<br /> '''Hozan:''' Well fought, sir/madam, well fought! Ah, if only I were in better health, I should have been proud to stand at your side!<br /> <br /> '''Homei:''' Pay my son no mind. He forgets that his responsibilities preclude acts of derring-do.<br /> <br /> '''Hozan:''' Hmph. Be that as it may, I cannot help but envy you. Had we been able to call upon heroes of your strength and skill in Doma, things would have been very different.<br /> '''Hozan:''' &lt;sigh&gt; But we cannot change the past. Those who fought─and fell─are forever lost to us.<br /> <br /> '''Homei:''' Lost but not forgotten─Lady Yugiri's kinsmen least of all. They fought fiercest, though they knew full well it was in vain.<br /> '''Homei:''' She had every right to walk away, yet she chose to stay. Food, shelter, the promise of a better life─all this and more we owe to her. How does one even begin to repay such a debt?<br /> <br /> '''Hozan:''' In kind, Father. To she who has given everything, we shall give our all.<br /> '''Hozan:''' Whatever work there is to be done we shall do without question. Ditch digging, bricklaying, it matters not─Revenant's Toll will grow and prosper by our hands.<br /> <br /> '''Yozan:''' Hey, Mister/Miss [Forename]! Koharu and I want to know why you became an adventurer!<br /> <br /> '''&lt;Why did you become an adventurer?&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;To gain power&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;To win glory&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;To amass a fortune&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;To go whither the ''wild rose'' blooms&gt;'''<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;To gain power&gt;'''''<br /> '''Yozan:''' I ''knew'' it! That's what I told Koharu, but she didn't believe me.<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;To win glory.&gt;'''''<br /> '''Yozan:''' Glory? Ah, like bringing honor to your family, you mean!? Yes, Father always goes on about that.<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;To amass a fortune.&gt;'''''<br /> '''Yozan:''' Money, eh? Yes, I want money, too. I could do a lot of things if I had some─well, ''any''...<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;To go whither the wild rose blooms.&gt;'''''<br /> '''Yozan:''' So...you like roses? I think I understand... I mean, they're nice and everything... But don't they grow in lots of places?<br /> <br /> '''Koharu:''' It's ''my'' turn now! Excuse me, Mister/Miss [Forename]! I've got a question! What's Revenant's Toll like? Is it pretty?<br /> <br /> '''&lt;How would you describe Revenant's Toll?&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;It is a bustling outpost frequented by countless adventurers.&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;It is a bastion of civilization in a harsh and unforgiving wilderness.&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;It is home to the Scions of the Seventh Dawn.&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;It is...a stone's throw from an imperial castrum?&gt;'''<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;It is a bustling outpost frequented by countless adventurers.&gt;'''''<br /> '''Koharu:''' You mean...there are lots of people there who are just as strong as you!? Oh, I can't wait!<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;It is a bastion of civilization in a harsh and unforgiving wilderness.&gt;'''''<br /> '''Koharu:''' So...there are lots of rocks and things? It sounds a bit scary...but you'll be there too, won't you?<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;It is home to the Scions of the Seventh Dawn.&gt;'''''<br /> '''Koharu:''' Oh, so you live there with your friends! That means you'll always be there to protect us!<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;It is...a stone's throw from an imperial castrum?&gt;'''''<br /> '''Koharu:''' Ha! You can't fool me! No one would ''ever'' live that close to a castrum. Liar, liar, breeches on fire!<br /> <br /> '''Yozan:''' Enough, Koharu! It's my turn again! Mister/Miss [Forename]─when I'm older, I want to be strong like you. What do I have to do?<br /> <br /> '''&lt;What is the best way to become more powerful?&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;Seek out new experiences and adventures.&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;Fight ferocious beasts.&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;Train every day.&gt;'''<br /> '''&lt;Buy weapons and armor from Rowena.&gt;'''<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;Seek out new experiences and adventures.&gt;'''''<br /> '''Yozan:''' Of course! To be a better adventurer, you need to go ''adventuring''!<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;Fight ferocious beasts.&gt;'''''<br /> '''Yozan:''' Like that thing you fought earlier, you mean? Right, right!<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;Train every day.&gt;'''''<br /> '''Yozan:''' Aha! So my father was right! How do you do it, then? Come on, tell me! And don't leave anything out!<br /> <br /> '''''&lt;Buy weapons and armor from Rowena.&gt;'''''<br /> '''Yozan:''' Rowena? Is she nice? Are her weapons cheap? I don't have any money at the moment, but my father might. I'll have to ask him.<br /> <br /> '''Hozan:''' All right, all right─ That's enough questions for Mister/Miss [Forename].<br /> <br /> '''Koharu:''' That's not fair! Why does Yozan get to ask two questions? I want to know about adventuring just as much as he does...<br /> <br /> '''Yozan:''' Just one more─please! Do you think I could be an adventurer like you one day?<br /> '''Yozan:''' Really!? Then I will! Thanks for the advice, Mister/Miss [Forename]. I won't forget it!<br /> <br /> '''Koharu:''' I'm going to be an adventurer too!<br /> <br /> '''Yozan:''' When we get to Revenant's Toll, let's make an Adventurers' Guild for Domans!<br /> '''Yozan:''' We'll protect our friends and punish the wicked─just like Mister/Miss [Forename] and Lady Yugiri!<br /> <br /> '''Koharu:''' Yeah! Just like Mister/Miss [Forename] and Lady Yugiri!<br /> <br /> '''Hozan:''' We can talk more about it in the carriage on the way. Will you be joining us?<br /> <br /> ===Speaking with Alphinaud at the Quicksand===<br /> ====Optional Dialogue====<br /> '''Homei:''' Would you look at that...<br /> <br /> '''Hozan:''' It will be good to sleep in a proper bed for a change, even if it's only for a night.<br /> <br /> '''Yozan:''' I bet they could keep out an entire legion with those walls!<br /> <br /> '''Koharu:''' How many steps are there? A hundred? I'm going to count!<br /> <br /> '''Hyuran Coachman:''' Mind lettin' Master Alphinaud know we're here? I need to stay with the birds.<br /> <br /> '''Yugiri:''' I pray they do not grow too accustomed to this treatment. It is a welcome respite, to be sure, but a far cry from what we can expect in Revenant's Toll.<br /> <br /> '''Kasasagi:''' We welcome your return, Master/Mistress [Surname].<br /> <br /> '''Kikyou:''' Has the first group arrived already? Wonderful! Pray inform Master Alphinaud at once.<br /> <br /> ====Mandatory Dialogue====<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Ah, [Forename]. I take it the first group has arrived? Excellent.<br /> '''Alphinaud:''' Hm? Is there aught else? No, no. I have matters well in hand here. You and Lady Yugiri should travel to Revenant's Toll forthwith.</div>
