<big>'''This is not a [[Job Quests|job quest]]!'''</big> Instead, this is the beginning of ''[[A Realm Reborn]]'''s [[Relic Weapons]] questline 
'''Relic weapons from past expansions are not intended for combat use, but for cosmetic, [[achievements]], and collection purposes.''' Weapons of similar power, for the same player level, that are much more easily obtainable and are intended for character progression can be bought with {{tomestone|Poetics}} [[Allagan Tomestone of Poetics|Allagan Tomestones of Poetics]].'''

Note: While [[A Relic Reborn]] must be completed for each [[Zodiac Weapon]], raising the weapon to a [[Zenith Zodiac Weapons|Zenith Zodiac weapon]] only requires accessing the furnace near [[Gerolt]] with the required amount of [[Thavnairian Mist]]. The next quest, [[Up in Arms]], need only be completed once.

*Obtain an [[Amdapor Glyph]] by completing [[Amdapor Keep]] as a ninja.

*Obtain a [[White-Hot Ember]] in [[the Bowl of Embers (Hard)]] as a ninja.

*Obtain a chunk of [[Hyperfused Ore]] in [[The Navel (Hard)]] as a ninja.
*Deliver the requested items to Gerolt.

NOTE: All Activities done through the Duty Finder can be done Unsynched

==Journal==
*Gerolt has the air of a man defeated.

*Gerolt has reluctantly agreed to lend his expertise to the restoration of a legendary arm of yore. For the first step, the weaponsmith bids you venture to the Sapsa Spawning Grounds in western La Noscea to retrieve the pair of Yoshimitsu. Search for a vessel in which the valuable relic might be kept.

*You have obtained the pair of timeworn Yoshimitsu. Make your way back to Hyrstmill and present the relic to Gerolt.

*According to Gerolt, the restoration process involves merging the old with the new─that is, embedding the original relic in a new host weapon. To this end, you must bring him a pair of vamper's knives melded with two grade three heavens' eye materia.

*You have delivered the pair of materia-enhanced vamper's knives to Gerolt. The weaponsmith next directs you to go to the Weeping Saint in the Coerthas central highlands, and obtain alumina salts from the dhorme chimera.
**※The dhorme chimera can be confronted via the Duty Finder upon examining the quest destination.
**※This objective must be completed as a ninja.

*You have painstakingly obtained the pinch of alumina salts. Make your way back to Hyrstmill and deliver it to Gerolt.

*Using the alumina salts you brought him, Gerolt adds the finishing touches to your relic weapon. Even as he declares his work over, however, the man believes that there is still something incomplete about it. In order to shed light upon the mystery, Gerolt suggests that you seek out literature surrounding the hero associated with the relic. Perhaps the trader Rowena back at Revenant's Toll will be able to assist you in this endeavor.

*You have consulted Rowena, who agrees to procure the literature you seek...for a price. For your part of the deal, you must obtain for her an Amdapor glyph. Make your way through Amdapor Keep in the South Shroud, and procure this artifact.
**※Amdapor Keep can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
**※This objective must be completed as a ninja.

*You have successfully obtained an Amdapor glyph. Make your way back to Revenant's Toll and deliver it to Rowena.

*You give the Amdapor glyph to Rowena, who upholds her promise and furnishes you a copy of Shonin-ki. You now possess literature on the hero who once wielded the relic weapon. Gerolt the weaponsmith will be keen to peruse it.

*After a cursory examination of the text, Gerolt declares that he will require some time to make sense of its contents. In the meantime, you are to familiarize yourself with the restored weapon in its current state. Arm yourself with the pair of unfinished Yoshimitsu, make your way to the Sapsa Spawning Grounds in western La Noscea, and there slay eight Sapsa shelfspines, eight Sapsa shelfclaws, and eight Sapsa shelfteeth.

*You have defeated the specified Sahagin. Return to Hyrstmill and report your success to Gerolt.

*Upon your return, Gerolt deduces that you must face mightier adversaries if you are to experience a revelation pertaining to your relic. To this end, he bids you challenge the hydra within Halatali, the abandoned training grounds situated in eastern Thanalan. Armed with the pair of unfinished Yoshimitsu, enter Halatali and defeat the hydra.
**※The hydra can be confronted via the Duty Finder upon examining the quest destination.

*You have overcome the hydra. Take word of your accomplishment back to Gerolt at Hyrstmill.

*Combining information gleaned from the text with your firsthand experience, Gerolt has ascertained what must be done next. Hand over the pair of unfinished Yoshimitsu to the weaponsmith.

*Gerolt declares that but one step remains in the restoration. In order to create the raging fire that he needs, the weaponsmith bids you fetch him a white-hot ember, a howling gale, and a chunk of hyperfused ore. The first of these can be obtained by defeating Ifrit within the Bowl of Embers (Hard).
**※The Bowl of Embers (Hard) can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
**※This objective must be completed as a ninja.

*You have extinguished the Lord of the Inferno and obtained a white-hot ember. Next, take on Garuda in the Howling Eye (Hard) and defeat her to obtain a howling gale.
**※The Howling Eye (Hard) can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
**※This objective must be completed as a ninja.

*You have silenced the Lady of the Vortex and obtained a howling gale. Next, take on Titan in the Navel (Hard) and defeat him to obtain a chunk of hyperfused ore.
**※The Navel (Hard) can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
**※This objective must be completed as a ninja.

*You have buried the Lord of Crags and obtained a chunk of hyperfused ore. Deliver it along with the white-hot ember and the howling gale to Gerolt.

*You have delivered the three items Gerolt requires to create a raging fire. Now he only wants for a bottle of Radz-at-Han quenching oil to complete the restoration of your relic. Obtain this item and deliver it to the weaponsmith.

*You have delivered the bottle of Radz-at-Han quenching oil to Gerolt, who promptly sees to the final stage of the restoration process. After no small amount of effort and perseverance, you are now the proud owner of the Yoshimitsu. May they serve you well in your adventures to come!

==Dialogue==

{{see also|Zodiac_Weapons/Quest#Dialogue}}

===Thyrus Dialogue 1===

'''Gerolt''': ...Eh? ...A relic weapon for white magic? Never heard of one. Ye sure ye ain't been on the drink? ...Hm? What's that?

'''Gerolt''': Uh-huh... So, this A-Towa-Cant was the keeper of white magic, was he? If it's as ye say, it might be as I know of jus' the thing, the enchanted staff Thyrus.

'''Gerolt''': It's a priceless heirloom what belonged to the Cant clan, one of the foremost families in Gridania. Thing is, it went missin' some decades ago, along with its owner, none other'n A-Towa-Cant.

'''Gerolt''': The bloke was known for bein' a bit of an eccentric among his kind. Whereas most Padjals live out their days in the Black Shroud, he went off in search of elementals in distant lands.

'''Gerolt''': With Thyrus for company, he roamed the realm, lendin' a helpin' hand to the folk he met on his travels. Seems, though, he couldn't do much to help himself out when he set foot in O'Ghomoro -- the man was never heard from again, an' neither was his staff.

'''Gerolt''': As fate would have it, A-Towa-Cant was the last of his blood, an' his line guttered out with him. Right tragic, I know, but we can shed tears for him another time.

'''Gerolt''': Gettin' back to the matter at hand, it seems a fair bet that Thyrus is lyin' around somewhere in U'Ghamaro Mines, just out of the poor sod's skeletal grasp, like -- gods rest his soul.

===Thyrus Dialogue 2===

'''Gerolt''': But what's done is done...or in this case, ''not'' done. Anyroad, let's talk about that text ye brought. It contains the writin's of a thaumaturge of Arrzaneth Ossuary.

'''Gerolt''': The bloke wrote of his meetin' with our Padjali friend, A-Towa-Cant, who was payin' visit to Ul'dah at the time. Can't blame the man for wantin' to have himself a bit of fun, eh?

'''Gerolt''': Their conversation bored me nigh to tears, but ye'll be pleased to hear the name Thyrus ''did'' eventually appear. As yer no doubt aware, wood's the most common material used in the makin' of conjury arms.

'''Gerolt''': But on seein' that A-Towa-Cant's staff was wrought of stone, our thaumaturge decided to inquire as to its makin'.

'''Gerolt''': 'Course, bein' a Padjal, A-Towa gave his "answer" in the form of a bloody riddle...

'''Gerolt''': But I'll spare ye the headache an' give it to ye plain: Thyrus is made of petrified wood, an' therein lies our problem.

'''Gerolt''': I went an' used ordinary stone to fill in the missin' bits, see, an' it obviously didn't do the trick.

<big>'''This is not a [[Job Quests|job quest]]!'''</big> Instead, this is the beginning of ''[[A Realm Reborn]]'''s [[Relic Weapons]] questline 
'''Relic weapons from past expansions are not intended for combat use, but for cosmetic, [[achievements]], and collection purposes.''' Weapons of similar power, for the same player level, that are much more easily obtainable and are intended for character progression can be bought with {{tomestone|Poetics}} [[Allagan Tomestone of Poetics|Allagan Tomestones of Poetics]].'''

Note: While [[A Relic Reborn]] must be completed for each [[Zodiac Weapon]], raising the weapon to a [[Zenith Zodiac Weapons|Zenith Zodiac weapon]] only requires accessing the furnace near [[Gerolt]] with the required amount of [[Thavnairian Mist]]. The next quest, [[Up in Arms]], need only be completed once.

==Steps==
*Obtain the [[Timeworn Stardust Rod]] from a treasure coffer in U'Ghamaro Mines.
*Deliver the Timeworn Stardust Rod to [[Gerolt]].
*Deliver a materia-enhanced [[Sanguine Scepter]] to Gerolt.
*Examine the destination at the Weeping Saint and, as a black mage, use the Duty Finder to complete the trial "[[A Relic Reborn: The Chimera]]."
*Deliver the [[Alumina Salts]] to Gerolt.
*Speak with [[Rowena]] at [[Revenant's Toll]].
*Obtain an [[Amdapor Glyph]] by completing Amdapor Keep as a black mage.
*Deliver the Amdapor glyph to Rowena.
*Deliver the copy of [[On Verdant Pond]] to Gerolt.
*Slay [[U'Ghamaro Quarryman]] while equipped with the [[unfinished Stardust Rod]].
*Slay [[U'Ghamaro Priest]]s while equipped with the unfinished Stardust Rod.
*Slay [[U'Ghamaro Bedesman]] while equipped with the unfinished Stardust Rod.
*Speak with Gerolt.
*Examine the destination outside [[Halatali]] and, with the unfinished Stardust Rod equipped, use the Duty Finder to complete the trial "[[A Relic Reborn: The Hydra]]."
*Speak with Gerolt.
*Give the unfinished Stardust Rod to Gerolt.
*Obtain a [[White-Hot Ember]] in [[the Bowl of Embers (Hard)]] as a black mage.
*Obtain a [[Howling Gale]] in [[The Howling Eye (Hard)]] as a black mage.
*Obtain a chunk of [[Hyperfused Ore]] in [[The Navel (Hard)]] as a black mage.
*Deliver the requested items to Gerolt.
*Deliver a bottle of [[Radz-at-Han Quenching Oil]] to Gerolt.

==Journal==
*Gerolt has the air of a man defeated.

*Gerolt has reluctantly agreed to lend his expertise to the restoration of a legendary arm of yore. For the first step, the weaponsmith bids you venture within U'Ghamaro Mines in outer La Noscea to retrieve the lost Stardust Rod. Search for a vessel in which the valuable relic might be kept.

*You have obtained the timeworn Stardust Rod. Make your way back to Hyrstmill and present the relic to Gerolt.

*According to Gerolt, the restoration process involves merging the old with the new─that is, embedding the original relic in a new host weapon. To this end, you must bring him a sanguine scepter melded with two grade three savage might materia.

*You have delivered the materia-enhanced sanguine scepter to Gerolt. The weaponsmith next directs you to go to the Weeping Saint in the Coerthas central highlands, and obtain alumina salts from the dhorme chimera.
**※The dhorme chimera can be confronted via the Duty Finder upon examining the quest destination.
**※This objective must be completed as a black mage.

**You have painstakingly obtained the pinch of alumina salts. Make your way back to Hyrstmill and deliver it to Gerolt.

*Using the alumina salts you brought him, Gerolt adds the finishing touches to your relic weapon. Even as he declares his work over, however, the man believes that there is still something incomplete about it. In order to shed light upon the mystery, Gerolt suggests that you seek out literature surrounding the hero associated with the relic. Perhaps the trader Rowena back at Revenant's Toll will be able to assist you in this endeavor.

*You have consulted Rowena, who agrees to procure the literature you seek...for a price. For your part of the deal, you must obtain for her an Amdapor glyph. Make your way through Amdapor Keep in the South Shroud, and procure this artifact.
**※Amdapor Keep can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
**※This objective must be completed as a black mage.

*You have successfully obtained an Amdapor glyph. Make your way back to Revenant's Toll and deliver it to Rowena.

*You give the Amdapor glyph to Rowena, who upholds her promise and furnishes you a copy of On Verdant Pond. You now possess literature on the hero who once wielded the relic weapon. Gerolt the weaponsmith will be keen to peruse it.

*After a cursory examination of the text, Gerolt declares that he will require some time to make sense of its contents. In the meantime, you are to familiarize yourself with the restored weapon in its current state. Arm yourself with the unfinished Stardust Rod, make your way to U'Ghamaro Mines in outer La Noscea, and there slay eight U'Ghamaro quarrymen, eight U'Ghamaro priests, and eight U'Ghamaro bedesmen.

*You have defeated the specified kobolds. Return to Hyrstmill and report your success to Gerolt.

*Upon your return, Gerolt deduces that you must face mightier adversaries if you are to experience a revelation pertaining to your relic. To this end, he bids you challenge the hydra within Halatali, the abandoned training grounds situated in eastern Thanalan. Armed with the unfinished Stardust Rod, enter Halatali and defeat the hydra.
**※The hydra can be confronted via the Duty Finder upon examining the quest destination.

*You have overcome the hydra. Take word of your accomplishment back to Gerolt at Hyrstmill.

*Combining information gleaned from the text with your firsthand experience, Gerolt has ascertained what must be done next. Hand over the unfinished Stardust Rod to the weaponsmith.

*Gerolt declares that but one step remains in the restoration. In order to create the raging fire that he needs, the weaponsmith bids you fetch him a white-hot ember, a howling gale, and a chunk of hyperfused ore. The first of these can be obtained by defeating Ifrit within the Bowl of Embers (Hard).
**※The Bowl of Embers (Hard) can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
**※This objective must be completed as a black mage.

*You have extinguished the Lord of the Inferno and obtained a white-hot ember. Next, take on Garuda in the Howling Eye (Hard) and defeat her to obtain a howling gale.
**※The Howling Eye (Hard) can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
**※This objective must be completed as a black mage.

*You have silenced the Lady of the Vortex and obtained a howling gale. Next, take on Titan in the Navel (Hard) and defeat him to obtain a chunk of hyperfused ore.
**※The Navel (Hard) can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
**※This objective must be completed as a black mage.

*You have buried the Lord of Crags and obtained a chunk of hyperfused ore. Deliver it along with the white-hot ember and the howling gale to Gerolt.

*You have delivered the three items Gerolt requires to create a raging fire. Now he only wants for a bottle of Radz-at-Han quenching oil to complete the restoration of your relic. Obtain this item and deliver it to the weaponsmith.

*You have delivered the bottle of Radz-at-Han quenching oil to Gerolt, who promptly sees to the final stage of the restoration process. After no small amount of effort and perseverance, you are now the proud owner of the Stardust Rod. May it serve you well in your adventures to come!

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Gerolt:''' Jus' let me make one thing clear: it might be as I'm repairin' kettles to pay for yesterday's mead, but I still got me pride as a master weaponsmith. Ye'll get no less than the finest out of me forge.
'''Gerolt:''' An' it might be as ye've got that godsdamned slip of paper, but it'll only get ye so much. Restorin' relics like these calls for some rare ol' materials, an' I ain't got none. So if you want the job done, ye'll have to run along an' fetch 'em for me.
'''Gerolt:''' So, what is it ye want restored?
'''Gerolt:''' Fancy yerself a scholar, eh? Like one o' them as helped the nation o' Nym preserve its sovereignty durin' the War o' the Magi way back when? I know a bit about 'em, as it happens.
'''Gerolt:''' They were a right clever lot, those scholars. Thanks to their brilliant strategizin', the Nymians never failed to throw back would-be conquerors no matter how badly they were outnumbered. Like I always say, it ain't the size what matters, but how ye use it.
'''Gerolt:''' A-Ahem! Aaanyroad, 'tis a copy o' the ''Omnilex'' ye want, a right bleedin' rare grimoire what's supposed to contain ''all'' the military tactics ever conceived by man.
'''Gerolt:''' Unlucky for ye, though, they don't make 'em like they used to. Which is to say, ''not anymore''. But if yer heart's set on a copy, ye might try rootin' about western La Noscea.
'''Gerolt:''' If I remember rightly, the Nymians used to have a port over there, but it's long since become a Sahagin lair─the Sapsa Spawnin' Grounds, 'tis called.
'''(Optional)'''
'''Gerolt:''' Gods, I've been dry as a bone for the past six bells. M–Mead... Jus' give me enough mead to wet me lips...

===Delivering the timeworn copy of the ''Omnilex'' to Gerolt===
'''Gerolt:''' 'Tis a copy o' the ''Omnilex'' ye want, a right bleedin' rare grimoire what's supposed to contain ''all'' the military tactics ever conceived by man.
'''Gerolt:''' Unlucky for ye, though, they don't make 'em like they used to. Which is to say, ''not anymore''. But if yer heart's set on a copy, ye might try rootin' about western La Noscea.
'''Gerolt:''' If I remember rightly, the Nymians used to have a port over there, but it's long since become a Sahagin lair─the Sapsa Spawnin' Grounds, 'tis called.
'''''<Hand Over Timeworn Omnilex>'''''
'''Gerolt:''' Well, bugger me... Never in me wildest, drunkest dreams did I imagine ye'd actually find the bloody thing... Bah, so I'll have to fire up the forge, after all.
'''Gerolt:''' Havin' said that, the relic's in far worse shape than I thought. It ain't like to survive much poundin' in this state. Truth be told, I'd be worried about sneezin' near it.
'''Gerolt:''' <sigh> We're gonna need a new host what'll give itself for the restoration.
'''Gerolt:''' Bring me an erudite's picatrix of healing, one with two grade three quicktongue materia melded to it. This'll serve as the vessel for the restored relic.
'''Gerolt:''' Remember, that's ''two'' grade three quicktongue materia. Aught less, an' ye'll get naught from me, no matter how many slips of paper ye wave in me face.

===Delivering a materia–enhanced erudite's picatrix of healing to Gerolt===
'''Gerolt:''' Ye need to bring me an erudite's picatrix of healing, one with two grade three quicktongue materia melded to it. This'll serve as the vessel for the restored relic.
'''Gerolt:''' Hm? Aye, I could hammer one out in me sleep, but then I could wipe yer arse without much trouble, an' I ain't plannin' on doin' that neither! Seems ye'll jus' have to do both yerself, eh?
'''''<Hand Over Erdutite's Picatrix of Healing>'''''
====Cutscene====
'''Gerolt:''' Ah, 'tis a fine base ye've brought me. Aye, jus' the thing to host yer relic.
'''Gerolt:''' I've merged what was left of the relic with the host weapon, so the groundwork's done. But don't go jumpin' for joy jus' yet─there's still more to do.
'''Gerolt:''' I need to work on the finishin' touches, but due to the reinforcement work I've had to do, the book's provin' rather stubborn to mend.
'''Gerolt:''' To get 'round this, we'll be needin' some alumina salts, a substance made by grindin' a rock called alumina into fine grains. Unlucky for ye, though, it ain't easy to get hold of.
'''Gerolt:''' Mayhap ye already know this, but there's beasties out there what devour their prey whole. An' some of 'em swallow rocks so as to aid with digestion.
'''Gerolt:''' The dhorme chimera what terrorizes the central highlands o' Coerthas happens to swallow alumina salts for this purpose.
'''Gerolt:''' Slay the bugger an' bring me the alumina salts, an' I'll see to the finishin' touches on yer weapon.

'''System:''' The dhorme chimera can be confronted via the Duty Finder upon examining the quest destination situated at the Weeping Saint in the Coerthas central highlands.
'''System:''' Please note that the trial “A Relic Reborn: The Chimera” must be completed as a scholar.

====Optional====
'''Gerolt:''' Jus' a dozen more kettles, then it's off to the tav─
''You'' again!? What in the seven hells do ye want this time!?
'''Gerolt:''' Forgotten what to bring, eh? Gods' sake, man, ye've got the memory of a bleedin' whatsit!
'''Gerolt:''' Slay the dhorme chimera an' bring me alumina salts, an' I'll see to the finishin' touches on yer weapon.

'''System:''' The dhorme chimera can be confronted via the Duty Finder upon examining the quest destination situated at the Weeping Saint in the Coerthas central highlands.

===Delivering the alumina salts to Gerolt===
'''Gerolt:''' Jus' a dozen more kettles, then it's off to the tav─
''You'' again!? What in the seven hells do ye want this time!?
'''''<Hand Over Alumina Salts>'''''
====Cutscene====
'''Gerolt:''' ...An' o' course, the adventurer comes back triumphant. <sigh> Should've bloody known not even the chimera would be able to put ye out o' me misery.
'''Gerolt:''' Hand over those alumina salts, an' I'll get right to work.
'''Gerolt:''' There, the deed's done. I've squeezed out every onze of me skill to restore yer weapon, an' I think ye'll agree it looks the part.
'''Gerolt:''' Yet there's summat...missin' somehow, though I'm buggered if I know what. The piece jus' lacks a certain ''glow'', as it were.
'''Gerolt:''' We need to learn more about the relic. Literature surroundin' the heroes associated with it would be a fine place to begin...but I ain't exactly a scholarly an' haven't the slightest inklin' where to get me hands on such stuff.
'''Gerolt:''' As much as I hate to say this, Rowena's probably the one to talk to. Thing is, I'd sooner shove hot kettles up me arse sideways than owe that thrice-damned harridan another debt.
'''Gerolt:''' Yer gonna have to make yerself useful once again. Take yerself to Rowena an' ask for her help, an' return here once ye've learned summat what might be of use.

===Speaking with Rowena at Revenant's Toll===
'''Rowena:''' You're lookin' a bit more run-down than before. Your dealin's with Gerolt takin' their toll? Actually, forget I even asked. My mouth tastes o' bile if I so much as ''think'' o' that sorry specimen. So, is there somethin' you need?
'''Rowena:''' ...Literature on the heroes of old who once wielded your weapon?
'''Rowena:''' Hm, I reckon I can find what you need. Might take a bit o' time, is all.
'''Rowena:''' 'Course, this ain't a charity I'm runnin' here. I can get you what you want, but you'll have to do likewise for me.
'''Rowena:''' I'll track down literature on the military scholars of old.
'''Rowena:''' For your part, you're to bring me an Amdapor glyph. You'll find this inside Amdapor Keep, a ruined castle situated in the South Shroud.
'''Rowena:''' Clear on the deal? Then run along and fulfill your part of it.

===Delivering the Amdapor glyph to Rowena===
'''Rowena:''' Clear on the deal? Then run along and fulfill your part of it.
'''''<Hand Over Amdapor Glyph>'''''
'''Rowena:''' Ah, good on you! This is exactly what I was after. You've honored your part o' the bargain, and so I'll do the same.

===Delivering the copy of ''War of the Magi'' to Gerolt===
'''Gerolt:''' Back to pester me so soon? Judgin' from that smirk on yer face, I take it ye've found what ye need?
'''''<Hand Over War of the Magi>'''''
'''Gerolt:''' Aye, this text is about the military scholars of old, all right. But gods, would it have killed the bugger that wrote it to use normal bloody words!?
'''Gerolt:''' It'll take me bleedin' ''moons'' to get through this lot─time I could be spendin' on kettles! Gah...while I try to make head or tail of it all, why don't ye take this here unfinished ''Omnilex'' an' try it out?
'''Gerolt:''' As I mentioned before, it's still missin' summat, but it's all there shape-wise, meanin' it should serve ye jus' fine as an ordinary weapon.
'''Gerolt:''' Seein' as yer a ripe ol' scholar, mayhap ye'll be able to feel out exactly what it wants for.
'''Gerolt:''' That's to say, get out there an' fight some nasty foes, as the scholars who went afore ye must've done back in the day.
'''Gerolt:''' The Sapsa Spawning Grounds over in western La Noscea oughta serve yer needs. Pit yerself against some Sapsa shelfspine, shelfclaw, an' shelftooth─eight of each, say─then come back an' tell me what ye've gleaned.
'''Gerolt:''' With the information in the text an' yer firsthand experience, I reckon we'll solve this puzzle yet.
'''(Optional)'''
'''Gerolt:''' I want ye to get out there an' fight some nasty foes, as the scholars who went afore ye must've done back in the day.
'''Gerolt:''' The Sapsa Spawning Grounds over in western La Noscea oughta serve yer needs. Pit yerself against some Sapsa shelfspine, shelfclaw, an' shelftooth─eight of each, say─then come back an' tell me what ye've gleaned.

===Speaking with Gerolt===
'''Gerolt:''' Back already? By the frown yer wearin', I take it ye've got nothin' to show for yer time with the fishbacks.
'''Gerolt:''' Hmmm, might be as ye want for better sport. An' I know jus' the creature what'll give it to ye─the hydra what reigns over the fiends within Halatali. A nasty piece of work, that. Try not to piss yer britches when ye see it.

'''System:''' The hydra can be confronted via the Duty Finder upon examining the quest destination situated by the entrance to Halatali in eastern Thanalan.
'''System:''' Please note that the trial “A Relic Reborn: The Hydra” must be completed while equipped with the unfinished copy of the Omnilex.

'''(Optional)'''
'''Gerolt:''' Bloody hells, not ye again! Can't a man have a moment's bleedin' rest!? I've barely had time to piss since you gave me that damnable text.
'''Gerolt:''' Readin' the thing's given me a fierce bloody headache...which yer makin' worse by houndin' me!
'''Gerolt:''' Do me a favor an' make yerself scarce, will ye? Go an' play with yer bloody ''Omnilex'' or summat.

===Examining the destination outside Halatali and, with the unfinshed copy of the ''Omnilex'' equipped, use the Duty Finder to complete the trial "A Relic Reborn, the Hydra"===
'''(Optional)'''
'''Fafajoni:''' We Immortal Flames have managed to cull most of the feral denizens of Halatali, but the hydra still remains. Frankly, we're out of our─
'''Fafajoni:''' What!? You mean to face the fell creature!? To be sure, we would be grateful if you could rid us of it, but I must warn you of the dangers. Survival is ''not'' guaranteed.

===Speaking with Gerolt===
'''Gerolt:''' Yer... Yer still alive! Why the hells do you adventurers have to be so godsdamned sturdy!? I was bloody ''sure'' ye'd be hydra dung by now... <sigh>
'''Gerolt:''' But what's done is done...or in this case, not done. Anyroad, let's talk about that text ye brought. It contains accounts o' the major clashes what took place durin' the War o' the Magi.
'''Gerolt:''' The entry on the Battle o' the Gods' Grip jumped out at me. This was when the Nymians took the Amdapori host by surprise as it made its beach landin'─takin' the siege to the besiegers, as it were.
'''Gerolt:''' As they're wont to do, the scholars played a key role in the victory, though that didn't interest me near as much as the passage what touched on the ''Omnilex''.
'''Gerolt:''' Turns out the patterns on the cover are meant to improve the flow of aether from the wielder's hands. An' I'd thought 'em merely decorations. Ye learn summat new every day, eh?
'''Gerolt:''' As ye can see, I've done me research. I trust ye've also been pullin' yer weight, puttin' the relic to use like I said. Well, go on, then─tell me what ye've learned.
'''Gerolt:''' Is that so? Aye...I'd wondered about that.
'''Gerolt:''' Based on what we've gleaned from the text an' yer firsthand experience, I'll rework the relic so as to improve yer affinity with it. Hand it over for a second, will ye?

===Giving the unfinished copy of the ''Omnilex'' to Gerolt===
'''Gerolt:''' Based on what we've gleaned from the text an' yer firsthand experience, I'll rework the relic so as to improve yer affinity with it. Hand it over for a second, will ye?
'''''< Hand Over Unfinished Omnnilex>'''''
====Cutscene====
'''Gerolt:''' There, the deed's done. That leaves us with one last step.
'''Gerolt:''' That is, fully mergin' the old relic, the new host, an' the soul of the bearer─aye, that's ''you''. Only then can the weapon be restored to its former glory.
'''Gerolt:''' But to do this, I need a fire what's hotter than the seventh hell. An' to keep such a fire alive an' ragin', I need a wind what's fiercer than the...than the...er, hangover I had last week. Gah, ye know what I mean!
'''Gerolt:''' Jus' get me a white-hot ember, a howlin' gale, an' a chunk o' hyperfused ore, an' I'll finish yer bloody weapon! Ah, an' I need me a bottle o' Radz-at-Han quenchin' oil as well to cool it off!

'''System:''' The white-hot ember, the howling gale, and the chunk of hyperfused ore can be obtained by defeating Ifrit in the Bowl of Embers (Hard), Garuda in the Howling Eye (Hard), and Titan in the Navel (Hard), respectively.
'''System:''' The bottle of Radz-at-Han quenching oil can be obtained by exchanging 15 Allagan tomestones of poetics with Auriana, one of Rowena's assistants at Revenant's Toll.
'''(Optional)'''
'''Gerolt:''' In order to restore yer weapon to its former glory, we need to fully merge the relic with the new host. Oh, aye─an' yer soul. Don't worry, though─it might not hurt much.
'''Gerolt:''' Get me a white-hot ember, a howlin' gale, an' a chunk of hyperfused ore, an' I'll finish yer bloody weapon.

===Delivering the requested items to Gerolt===
'''Gerolt:''' So yer back... Never doubted for a second ye'd trounce all three primals an' come back to pester me again.
'''Gerolt:''' All right, then, let's see the white-hot ember, the howling gale, an' the hyperfused ore.
'''''<Hand Over White–hot Ember, Howling Gale, and Hyperfused Ore>'''''
'''Gerolt:''' Aye, these oughta get me the levels o' heat I need. Which leaves just the Radz-at-Han quenchin' oil for coolin' things off afterwards. Ye've got that, too, I assume?

===Delivering a bottle of Radz-at-Han quenching oil to Gerolt===
'''Gerolt:''' Aye, these oughta get me the levels o' heat I need. Which leaves just the Radz-at-Han quenchin' oil for coolin' things off afterwards. Ye've got that, too, I assume?
'''''<Hand Over Radz-at-Han Quenching Oil>'''''
====Cutscene====
'''Gerolt:''' Ye've done yer part, an' so I'll do mine.
'''Gerolt:''' Watch now, an' try not to bat yer eyelids─ain't every day ye get to see a relic reborn!
'''Gerolt:''' >> Muahahaha... MUAHAHAHAHAHA! These gods-given hands've worked yet another miracle! Feast yer eyes on the ''Omnilex'', jus' as it was in days of yore! 'Tis a sight to move a man to tears...ye lucky bastard. Ye'd better bloody well take care of it! <<

<big>'''This is not a [[Job Quests|job quest]]!'''</big> Instead, this is the beginning of ''[[A Realm Reborn]]'''s [[Relic Weapons]] questline 
'''Relic weapons from past expansions are not intended for combat use, but for cosmetic, [[achievements]], and collection purposes.''' Weapons of similar power, for the same player level, that are much more easily obtainable and are intended for character progression can be bought with {{tomestone|Poetics}} [[Allagan Tomestone of Poetics|Allagan Tomestones of Poetics]].'''

Note: While [[A Relic Reborn]] must be completed for each [[Zodiac Weapon]], raising the weapon to a [[Zenith Zodiac Weapons|Zenith Zodiac weapon]] only requires accessing the furnace near [[Gerolt]] with the required amount of [[Thavnairian Mist]]. The next quest, [[Up in Arms]], need only be completed once.

==Steps==
*Obtain the [[Timeworn Gae Bolg]] from a treasure coffer in Natalan.
*Deliver the Timeworn Gae Bolg to [[Gerolt]].
*Deliver a materia-enhanced [[Champion's Lance]] to Gerolt.
*Examine the destination at the Weeping Saint and, as a dragoon, use the Duty Finder to complete the trial "[[A Relic Reborn: The Chimera]]."
*Deliver the [[Alumina Salts]] to Gerolt.
*Speak with [[Rowena]] at [[Revenant's Toll]].
*Obtain an [[Amdapor Glyph]] by completing [[Amdapor Keep]] as a dragoon.
*Deliver the Amdapor glyph to Rowena.
*Deliver the copy of [[The Book of Reinette]] to Gerolt.
*Slay [[Natalan Boldwing]]s while equipped with the [[unfinished Gae Bolg]].
*Slay [[Natalan Fogcaller]]s while equipped with the unfinished Gae Bolg.
*Slay [[Natalan Swiftbeak]]s while equipped with the unfinished Gae Bolg.
*Speak with Gerolt.
*Examine the destination outside [[Halatali]] and, with the unfinished Gae Bolg equipped, use the Duty Finder to complete the trial "[[A Relic Reborn: The Hydra]]."
*Speak with Gerolt.
*Give the Unfinished Gae Bolg to Gerolt.
*Obtain a [[White-Hot Ember]] in [[the Bowl of Embers (Hard)]] as a dragoon.
*Obtain a [[Howling Gale]] in [[The Howling Eye (Hard)]] as a dragoon.
*Obtain a chunk of [[Hyperfused Ore]] in [[The Navel (Hard)]] as a dragoon.
*Deliver the requested items to Gerolt.
*Deliver a bottle of [[Radz-at-Han Quenching Oil]] to Gerolt.

==Journal==
*Gerolt has the air of a man defeated.

*Gerolt has reluctantly agreed to lend his expertise to the restoration of a legendary arm of yore. For the first step, the weaponsmith bids you venture within Natalan in the Coerthas central highlands to retrieve the lost Gae Bolg. Search for a vessel in which the valuable relic might be kept.

*You have obtained the timeworn Gae Bolg. Make your way back to Hyrstmill and present the relic to Gerolt.

*According to Gerolt, the restoration process involves merging the old with the new─that is, embedding the original relic in a new host weapon. To this end, you must bring him a champion's lance melded with two grade three savage aim materia.

*You have delivered the materia-enhanced champion's lance to Gerolt. The weaponsmith next directs you to go to the Weeping Saint in the Coerthas central highlands, and obtain alumina salts from the dhorme chimera.
**※The dhorme chimera can be confronted via the Duty Finder upon examining the quest destination.
**※This objective must be completed as a dragoon.

*You have painstakingly obtained the pinch of alumina salts. Make your way back to Hyrstmill and deliver it to Gerolt.

*Using the alumina salts you brought him, Gerolt adds the finishing touches to your relic weapon. Even as he declares his work over, however, the man believes that there is still something incomplete about it. In order to shed light upon the mystery, Gerolt suggests that you seek out literature surrounding the hero associated with the relic. Perhaps the trader Rowena back at Revenant's Toll will be able to assist you in this endeavor.

*You have consulted Rowena, who agrees to procure the literature you seek...for a price. For your part of the deal, you must obtain for her an Amdapor glyph. Make your way through Amdapor Keep in the South Shroud, and procure this artifact.
**※Amdapor Keep can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
**※This objective must be completed as a dragoon.

*You have successfully obtained an Amdapor glyph. Make your way back to Revenant's Toll and deliver it to Rowena.

*You give the Amdapor glyph to Rowena, who upholds her promise and furnishes you a copy of The Book of Reinette. You now possess literature on the hero who once wielded the relic weapon. Gerolt the weaponsmith will be keen to peruse it.

*After a cursory examination of the text, Gerolt declares that he will require some time to make sense of its contents. In the meantime, you are to familiarize yourself with the restored weapon in its current state. Arm yourself with the unfinished Gae Bolg, make your way to Natalan in the Coerthas central highlands, and there slay eight Natalan boldwings, eight Natalan fogcallers, and eight Natalan swiftbeaks.

*You have defeated the specified Ixal. Return to Hyrstmill and report your success to Gerolt.

*Upon your return, Gerolt deduces that you must face mightier adversaries if you are to experience a revelation pertaining to your relic. To this end, he bids you challenge the hydra within Halatali, the abandoned training grounds situated in eastern Thanalan. Armed with the unfinished Gae Bolg, enter Halatali and defeat the hydra.
**※The hydra can be confronted via the Duty Finder upon examining the quest destination.

*You have overcome the hydra. Take word of your accomplishment back to Gerolt at Hyrstmill.

*Combining information gleaned from the text with your firsthand experience, Gerolt has ascertained what must be done next. Hand over the unfinished Gae Bolg to the weaponsmith.

*Gerolt declares that but one step remains in the restoration. In order to create the raging fire that he needs, the weaponsmith bids you fetch him a white-hot ember, a howling gale, and a chunk of hyperfused ore. The first of these can be obtained by defeating Ifrit within the Bowl of Embers (Hard).
**※The Bowl of Embers (Hard) can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
**※This objective must be completed as a dragoon.

*You have extinguished the Lord of the Inferno and obtained a white-hot ember. Next, take on Garuda in the Howling Eye (Hard) and defeat her to obtain a howling gale.
**※The Howling Eye (Hard) can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
**※This objective must be completed as a dragoon.

*You have silenced the Lady of the Vortex and obtained a howling gale. Next, take on Titan in the Navel (Hard) and defeat him to obtain a chunk of hyperfused ore.
**※The Navel (Hard) can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
**※This objective must be completed as a dragoon.

*You have buried the Lord of Crags and obtained a chunk of hyperfused ore. Deliver it along with the white-hot ember and the howling gale to Gerolt.

*You have delivered the three items Gerolt requires to create a raging fire. Now he only wants for a bottle of Radz-at-Han quenching oil to complete the restoration of your relic. Obtain this item and deliver it to the weaponsmith.

*You have delivered the bottle of Radz-at-Han quenching oil to Gerolt, who promptly sees to the final stage of the restoration process. After no small amount of effort and perseverance, you are now the proud owner of the Gae Bolg. May it serve you well in your adventures to come!

In order to shed light upon the mystery, Gerolt suggests that you seek out literature surrounding the hero associated with the relic. Perhaps the trader Rowena back at Revenant's Toll will be able to assist you in this endeavor.

*You have consulted Rowena, who agrees to procure the literature you seek...for a price. For your part of the deal, you must obtain for her an Amdapor glyph. Make your way through Amdapor Keep in the South Shroud, and procure this artifact.
**※Amdapor Keep can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
**※This objective must be completed as a paladin.

*You have successfully obtained an Amdapor glyph. Make your way back to Revenant's Toll and deliver it to Rowena.

*You give the Amdapor glyph to Rowena, who upholds her promise and furnishes you a copy of The Song of Tristram. You now possess literature on the hero who once wielded the relic weapon. Gerolt the weaponsmith will be keen to peruse it.

*After a cursory examination of the text, Gerolt declares that he will require some time to make sense of its contents. In the meantime, you are to familiarize yourself with the restored weapon in its current state. Arm yourself with the unfinished Curtana, make your way to Zahar'ak in southern Thanalan, and there slay eight Zahar'ak lancers, eight Zahar'ak pugilists, and eight Zahar'ak thaumaturges.

*You have defeated the specified Amalj'aa. Return to Hyrstmill and report your success to Gerolt.

*Upon your return, Gerolt deduces that you must face mightier adversaries if you are to experience a revelation pertaining to your relic. To this end, he bids you challenge the hydra within Halatali, the abandoned training grounds situated in eastern Thanalan. Armed with the unfinished Curtana, enter Halatali and defeat the hydra.
**※The hydra can be confronted via the Duty Finder upon examining the quest destination.

*You have overcome the hydra. Take word of your accomplishment back to Gerolt at Hyrstmill.

*Combining information gleaned from the text with your firsthand experience, Gerolt has ascertained what must be done next. Hand over the unfinished Curtana to the weaponsmith.

*Gerolt declares that but one step remains in the restoration. In order to create the raging fire that he needs, the weaponsmith bids you fetch him a white-hot ember, a howling gale, and a chunk of hyperfused ore. The first of these can be obtained by defeating Ifrit within the Bowl of Embers (Hard).
**※The Bowl of Embers (Hard) can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
**※This objective must be completed as a paladin.

*You have extinguished the Lord of the Inferno and obtained a white-hot ember. Next, take on Garuda in the Howling Eye (Hard) and defeat her to obtain a howling gale.
**※The Howling Eye (Hard) can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
**※This objective must be completed as a paladin.

*You have silenced the Lady of the Vortex and obtained a howling gale. Next, take on Titan in the Navel (Hard) and defeat him to obtain a chunk of hyperfused ore.
**※The Navel (Hard) can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
**※This objective must be completed as a paladin.

*You have buried the Lord of Crags and obtained a chunk of hyperfused ore. Deliver it along with the white-hot ember and the howling gale to Gerolt.

*You have delivered the three items Gerolt requires to create a raging fire. Now he only wants for a bottle of Radz-at-Han quenching oil to complete the restoration of your relic. Obtain this item and deliver it to the weaponsmith.

*You have delivered the bottle of Radz-at-Han quenching oil to Gerolt, who promptly sees to the final stage of the restoration process. After no small amount of effort and perseverance, you are now the proud owner of Curtana. May it serve you well in your adventures to come!

==Dialogue==
{{Dialogue|<nowiki>
===Accepting the quest===
'''Gerolt:''' Jus' let me make one thing clear: it might be as I'm repairin' kettles to pay for yesterday's mead, but I still got me pride as a master weaponsmith. Ye'll get no less than the finest out of me forge.
'''Gerolt:''' An' it might be as ye've got that godsdamned slip of paper, but it'll only get ye so much. Restorin' relics like these calls for some rare ol' materials, an' I ain't got none. So if you want the job done, ye'll have to run along an' fetch 'em for me.
'''Gerolt:''' So, what is it ye want restored?
'''Gerolt:''' Fancy yerself a knight in shinin' armor, eh? Whatever floats yer boat, I s'pose...
'''Gerolt:''' Anyroad, it's Curtana ye'll be wantin'. 'Twas the blade wielded by Jhal Tristram the True, one of the three first paladins.
'''Gerolt:''' Story goes that, when the first sultan of Ul'dah formed the Sultansworn, he had three swords forged from the same ore used to make Oathkeeper─one for each of his champions.
'''Gerolt:''' Curtana was one of the blades, an' it was laid to rest with its master when he kicked the bucket. Rumor has it, though, that Jhal Tristram's tomb was plundered recently, an' Curtana taken.
'''Gerolt:''' I'd wager a flagon of mead it was them Amalj'aa what did the deed. Fair makes me blood boil imaginin' some filthy lizardman struttin' about Zahar'ak with such a fine blade.
'''Gerolt:''' Anyroad, ye'll need to retrieve Curtana one way or another, though how ye go about it makes no odds to me. I fancy ye'll have to pry it from the hands of a dead Amalj'aa, though.

===Delivering the timeworn Curtana to Gerolt===
'''Gerolt:''' It's Curtana ye'll be wantin'. 'Twas the blade wielded by Jhal Tristram the True, one of the three first paladins.
'''Gerolt:''' Story goes that, when the first sultan of Ul'dah formed the Sultansworn, he had three swords forged from the same ore used to make Oathkeeper—one for each of his champions.
'''Gerolt:''' Curtana was one of the blades, an' it was laid to rest with its master when he kicked the bucket. Rumor has it, though, that Jhal Tristram's tomb was plundered recently, an' Curtana taken.
'''Gerolt:''' I'd wager a flagon of mead it was them Amalj'aa what did the deed. Fair makes me blood boil imaginin' some filthy lizardman struttin' about Zahar'ak with such a fine blade.
'''Gerolt:''' Anyroad, ye'll need to retrieve Curtana one way or another, though how ye go about it makes no odds to me. I fancy ye'll have to pry it from the hands of a dead Amalj'aa, though.
'''''<Hand Over Timeworn Curtana>'''''
'''Gerolt:''' Well, bugger me... Never in me wildest, drunkest dreams did I imagine ye'd actually find the bloody thing... Bah, so I'll have to fire up the forge, after all.
'''Gerolt:''' Havin' said that, the relic's in far worse shape than I thought. It ain't like to survive much poundin' in this state. Truth be told, I'd be worried about sneezin' near it.
'''Gerolt:''' <sigh> We're gonna need a new host what'll give itself for the restoration.
'''Gerolt:''' Bring me an aeolian scimitar, one with two grade three battledance materia melded to it. This'll serve as the vessel for the restored relic.
'''Gerolt:''' Remember, that's two grade three battledance materia. Aught less, an' ye'll get naught from me, no matter how many slips of paper ye wave in me face.

===Delivering a materia—enhanced aeolian scimitar to Gerolt===
'''Gerolt:''' Ye need to bring me an aeolian scimitar, one with two grade three battledance materia melded to it. This'll serve as the vessel for the restored relic.
'''Gerolt:''' Hm? Aye, I could hammer one out in me sleep, but then I could wipe yer arse without much trouble, an' I ain't plannin' on doin' that neither! Seems ye'll jus' have to do both yerself, eh?
'''''<Hand Over Aeolian Scimitar>'''''
-cutscene start
'''Gerolt:''' Ah, 'tis a fine base ye've brought me. Aye, jus' the thing to host yer relic.
'''Gerolt:''' I've merged what was left of the relic with the host weapon, so the groundwork's done. But don't go jumpin' for joy jus' yet─there's still more to do.
'''Gerolt:''' I need to work on the finishin' touches, but due to the reinforcement work I've had to do, the weapon's provin' rather stubborn to shape.
'''Gerolt:''' To get 'round this, we'll be needin' some alumina salts, a substance made by grindin' a rock called alumina into fine grains. Unlucky for ye, though, it ain't easy to get hold of.
'''Gerolt:''' Mayhap ye already know this, but there's beasties out there what devour their prey whole. An' some of 'em swallow rocks so as to aid with digestion.
'''Gerolt:''' The dhorme chimera what terrorizes the central highlands o' Coerthas happens to swallow alumina salts for this purpose.
'''Gerolt:''' Slay the bugger an' bring me the alumina salts, an' I'll see to the finishin' touches on yer weapon.

'''System:''' The dhorme chimera can be confronted via the Duty Finder upon examining the quest destination situated at the Weeping Saint in the Coerthas central highlands.
'''System:''' Please note that the trial “A Relic Reborn: The Chimera” must be completed as a paladin.
-cutscene end

'''(Optional)'''
'''Gerolt:''' Jus' a dozen more kettles, then it's off to the tav─ ''You'' again!? What in the seven hells do ye want this time!?
'''Gerolt:''' Forgotten what to bring, eh? Gods' sake, {{alternatives|f=woman|m=man}}, ye've got the memory of a bleedin' whatsit!
'''Gerolt:''' Slay the dhorme chimera an' bring me alumina salts, an' I'll see to the finishin' touches on yer weapon.

'''''<Hand Over Alumina Salts>'''''
-cutscene start
'''Gerolt:''' ...An' o' course, the adventurer comes back triumphant. <sigh> Should've bloody known not even the chimera would be able to put ye out o' me misery.
'''Gerolt:''' Hand over those alumina salts, an' I'll get right to work.
'''Gerolt:''' There, the deed's done. I've squeezed out every onze of me skill to restore yer weapon, an' I think ye'll agree it looks the part.
'''Gerolt:''' Yet there's summat...missin' somehow, though I'm buggered if I know what. The piece jus' lacks a certain ''glow'', as it were.
'''Gerolt:''' We need to learn more about the relic. Literature surroundin' the hero associated with it would be a fine place to begin...but I ain't exactly a scholarly an' haven't the slightest inklin' where to get me hands on such stuff.
'''Gerolt:''' As much as I hate to say this, Rowena's probably the one to talk to. Thing is, I'd sooner shove hot kettles up me arse sideways than owe that thrice-damned harridan another debt.
'''Gerolt:''' Yer gonna have to make yerself useful once again. Take yerself to Rowena an' ask for her help, an' return here once ye've learned summat what might be of use.
-cutscene end

===Speaking with Rowena at Revenant's Toll===
'''Rowena:''' You're lookin' a bit more run-down than before. Your dealin's with Gerolt takin' their toll? Actually, forget I even asked. My mouth tastes o' bile if I so much as ''think'' o' that sorry specimen. So, is there somethin' you need?
'''Rowena:''' ...Literature on the hero of old who once wielded your weapon?
'''Rowena:''' Hm, I reckon I can find what you need. Might take a bit o' time, is all.
'''Rowena:''' 'Course, this ain't a charity I'm runnin' here. I can get you what you want, but you'll have to do likewise for me.
'''Rowena:''' I'll track down literature on Jhal Tristram the True.
'''Rowena:''' For your part, you're to bring me an Amdapor glyph. You'll find this inside Amdapor Keep, a ruined castle situated in the South Shroud.
'''Rowena:''' Clear on the deal? Then run along and fulfill your part of it.

===Delivering the Amdapor glyph to Rowena===
'''Rowena:''' Clear on the deal? Then run along and fulfill your part of it.
'''''<Hand Over Amdapor Glyph>'''''
'''Rowena:''' Ah, good on you! This is exactly what I was after. You've honored your part o' the bargain, and so I'll do the same.

===Delivering the copy of ''The Song of Tristram'' to Gerolt===
'''Gerolt:''' Back to pester me so soon? Judgin' from that smirk on yer face, I take it ye've found what ye need?
'''''<Hand Over The Song of Tristram>'''''
'''Gerolt:''' Aye, this text is about Jhal Tristram, all right. But gods, would it have killed the bugger that wrote it to use normal bloody words!?
'''Gerolt:''' It'll take me bleedin' moons to get through this lot─time I could be spendin' on kettles! Gah...while I try to make head or tail of it all, why don't ye take this here unfinished Curtana an' try it out?
'''Gerolt:''' As I mentioned before, it's still missin' summat, but it's all there shape-wise, meanin' it should serve ye jus' fine as an ordinary weapon.
'''Gerolt:''' Seein' as yer a ripe ol' paladin, mayhap ye'll be able to feel out exactly what it wants for.
'''Gerolt:''' That's to say, get out there an' fight some nasty foes, as Jhal Tristram himself must've done back in the day.
'''Gerolt:''' Zahar'ak, the Amalj'aa stronghold over in southern Thanalan, oughta serve yer needs─aye, the same place ye found the sword. Pit yerself against some Zahar'ak lancers, pugilists, an' thaumaturges─eight of each, say─then come back an' tell me what ye've gleaned.
'''Gerolt:''' With the information in the text an' yer firsthand experience, I reckon we'll solve this puzzle yet.

-optional start
'''Gerolt:''' I want ye to get out there an' fight some nasty foes, as Jhal Tristram himself must've done back in the day.

-optional end

===Speaking with Gerolt===
'''Gerolt:''' Back already? By the frown yer wearin', I take it ye've got nothin' to show for yer time with the lizardmen.
'''Gerolt:''' Hmmm, might be as ye want for better sport. An' I know jus' the creature what'll give it to ye─the hydra what reigns over the fiends within Halatali. A nasty piece of work, that. Try not to piss yer britches when ye see it.

'''System:''' The hydra can be confronted via the Duty Finder upon examining the quest destination situated by the entrance to Halatali in eastern Thanalan.
'''System:''' Please note that the trial “A Relic Reborn: The Hydra” must be completed while equipped with the unfinished Curtana.

-optional start
'''Gerolt:''' Bloody hells, not ye again! Can't a man have a moment's bleedin' rest!? I've barely had time to ''piss'' since you gave me that damnable text.
'''Gerolt:''' Readin' the thing's given me a fierce bloody headache...which yer makin' worse by houndin' me!
'''Gerolt:''' Do me a favor an' make yerself scarce, will ye? Go an' play with yer bloody Curtana or summat.
-optional end

===Speaking with Gerolt===
'''Gerolt:''' Yer... Yer still alive! Why the hells do you adventurers have to be so godsdamned sturdy!? I was bloody ''sure'' ye'd be hydra dung by now... <sigh>
'''Gerolt:''' But what's done is done...or in this case, ''not'' done. Anyroad, let's talk about that text ye brought. It contains tales of Jhal Tristram's exploits. Turns out I already knew most of it.
'''Gerolt:''' To give ye the gist of it: a young Tristram goes afore the sultan, he pledges him his sword, the Sultansworn are formed, Tristram defeats an Amalj'aa pugilist in a famous duel, then sets off on a quest to retrieve the Sacred Goblet...
'''Gerolt:''' Things get a bit ''fanciful'' from then on, but cuttin' a long story short, Curtana ''does'' get a mention.
'''Gerolt:''' Four crystals embedded in the guard an' the ashes of a saint in the hilt─these're the sword's secrets.
'''Gerolt:''' In the old days, it was common practice to forge a weapon usin' body parts. A bit morbid, I grant ye, but folk back then believed the spirits of the dead offered the bearer protection.
'''Gerolt:''' Unlucky fer ye, the relic's hilt was in 'specially bad shape. I tried to make do with only the host weapon's, but it seems it weren't enough. Ah, but never ye fear─with me bottomless well o' talent, I'll work somethin' out yet.
'''Gerolt:''' As ye can see, I've done me research. I trust ye've also been pullin' yer weight, puttin' the relic to use like I said. Well, go on, then─tell me what ye've learned.
'''Gerolt:''' Is that so? Aye...I'd wondered about that.
'''Gerolt:''' Based on what we've gleaned from the text an' yer firsthand experience, I'll rework the relic so as to improve yer affinity with it. Hand it over for a second, will ye?

===Giving the unfinished Curtana to Gerolt===
'''Gerolt:''' Based on what we've gleaned from the text an' yer firsthand experience, I'll rework the relic so as to improve yer affinity with it. Hand it over for a second, will ye?
'''''<Hand Over Unfinished Curtana>'''''
====Cutscene====
'''Gerolt:''' There, the deed's done. That leaves us with one last step.
'''Gerolt:''' That is, fully mergin' the old relic, the new host, an' the soul of the bearer─aye, that's ''you''. Only then can the weapon be restored to its former glory.
'''Gerolt:''' But to do this, I need a fire what's hotter than the seventh hell. An' to keep such a fire alive an' ragin', I need a wind what's fiercer than the...than the...er, hangover I had last week. Gah, ye know what I mean!
'''Gerolt:''' Jus' get me a white-hot ember, a howlin' gale, an' a chunk o' hyperfused ore, an' I'll finish yer bloody weapon! Ah, an' I need me a bottle o' Radz-at-Han quenchin' oil as well to cool it off!

'''System:''' The white-hot ember, the howling gale, and the chunk of hyperfused ore can be obtained by defeating Ifrit in the Bowl of Embers (Hard), Garuda in the Howling Eye (Hard), and Titan in the Navel (Hard), respectively.
'''System:''' The bottle of Radz-at-Han quenching oil can be obtained by exchanging 15 Allagan tomestones of poetics with Auriana, one of Rowena's assistants at Revenant's Toll.

===Delivering the requested items to Gerolt===
'''Gerolt:''' So yer back... Never doubted for a second ye'd trounce all three primals an' come back to pester me again.
'''Gerolt:''' All right, then, let's see the white-hot ember, the howling gale, an' the hyperfused ore.
'''''<Hand over White—hot Ember, Howling Gale, and Hyperfused Ore>'''''
'''Gerolt:''' Aye, these oughta get me the levels o' heat I need. Which leaves just the Radz-at-Han quenchin' oil for coolin' things off afterwards. Ye've got that, too, I assume?

===Delivering a bottle of Radz—at—Han quenching oil to Gerolt===
'''Gerolt:''' Aye, these oughta get me the levels o' heat I need. Which leaves just the Radz-at-Han quenchin' oil for coolin' things off afterwards. Ye've got that, too, I assume?
'''''<Hand Over Radz—at—Han Quenching Oil>'''''
====Cutscene====
'''Gerolt:''' Ye've done yer part, an' so I'll do mine.
'''Gerolt:''' Watch now, an' try not to bat yer eyelids─ain't every day ye get to see a relic reborn!
'''Gerolt:''' >> Muahahaha... MUAHAHAHAHAHA! These gods-given hands've worked yet another miracle! Feast yer eyes on Curtana, jus' as it was in days of yore! 'Tis a sight to move a man to tears...ye lucky bastard. Ye'd better bloody well take care of it! <<

{{main|Relic Weapons/Quest#A Relic Reborn}}
<big>'''This is not a [[Job Quests|job quest]]!'''</big> Instead, this is the beginning of ''[[A Realm Reborn]]'''s [[Relic Weapons]] questline 
'''Relic weapons from past expansions are not intended for combat use, but for cosmetic, [[achievements]], and collection purposes.''' Weapons of similar power, for the same player level, that are much more easily obtainable and are intended for character progression can be bought with {{tomestone|Poetics}} [[Allagan Tomestone of Poetics|Allagan Tomestones of Poetics]].'''

==Journal==
*Gerolt has the air of a man defeated.

*Gerolt has reluctantly agreed to lend his expertise to the restoration of a legendary arm of yore. For the first step, the weaponsmith bids you venture within U'Ghamaro Mines in outer La Noscea to retrieve a lost Bravura. Search for a vessel in which the valuable relic might be kept.

*You have obtained the timeworn Bravura. Make your way back to Hyrstmill and present the relic to Gerolt.

*According to Gerolt, the restoration process involves merging the old with the new─that is, embedding the original relic in a new host weapon. To this end, you must bring him a barbarian's bardiche melded with two grade three battledance materia.

*You have delivered the materia-enhanced barbarian's bardiche to Gerolt. The weaponsmith next directs you to go to the Weeping Saint in the Coerthas central highlands, and obtain alumina salts from the dhorme chimera.
**※The dhorme chimera can be confronted via the Duty Finder upon examining the quest destination.
**※This objective must be completed as a warrior.

*You have painstakingly obtained the pinch of alumina salts. Make your way back to Hyrstmill and deliver it to Gerolt.

*Using the alumina salts you brought him, Gerolt adds the finishing touches to your relic weapon. Even as he declares his work over, however, the man believes that there is still something incomplete about it. In order to shed light upon the mystery, Gerolt suggests that you seek out literature surrounding the hero associated with the relic. Perhaps the trader Rowena back at Revenant's Toll will be able to assist you in this endeavor.

*You have consulted Rowena, who agrees to procure the literature you seek...for a price. For your part of the deal, you must obtain for her an Amdapor glyph. Make your way through Amdapor Keep in the South Shroud, and procure this artifact.
**※Amdapor Keep can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
**※This objective must be completed as a warrior.

*You have successfully obtained an Amdapor glyph. Make your way back to Revenant's Toll and deliver it to Rowena.

*You give the Amdapor glyph to Rowena, who upholds her promise and furnishes you a copy of The Warrior Within. You now possess literature on the hero who once wielded the relic weapon. Gerolt the weaponsmith will be keen to peruse it.

*After a cursory examination of the text, Gerolt declares that he will require some time to make sense of its contents. In the meantime, you are to familiarize yourself with the restored weapon in its current state. Arm yourself with the unfinished Bravura, make your way to U'Ghamaro Mines in outer La Noscea, and there slay eight U'Ghamaro quarrymen, eight U'Ghamaro roundsmen, and eight U'Ghamaro bedesmen.

*You have defeated the specified kobolds. Return to Hyrstmill and report your success to Gerolt.

*Upon your return, Gerolt deduces that you must face mightier adversaries if you are to experience a revelation pertaining to your relic. To this end, he bids you challenge the hydra within Halatali, the abandoned training grounds situated in eastern Thanalan. Armed with the unfinished Bravura, enter Halatali and defeat the hydra.
**※The hydra can be confronted via the Duty Finder upon examining the quest destination.

*You have overcome the hydra. Take word of your accomplishment back to Gerolt at Hyrstmill.

*Combining information gleaned from the text with your firsthand experience, Gerolt has ascertained what must be done next. Hand over the unfinished Bravura to the weaponsmith.

*Gerolt declares that but one step remains in the restoration. In order to create the raging fire that he needs, the weaponsmith bids you fetch him a white-hot ember, a howling gale, and a chunk of hyperfused ore. The first of these can be obtained by defeating Ifrit within the Bowl of Embers (Hard).
**※The Bowl of Embers (Hard) can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
**※This objective must be completed as a warrior.

*You have extinguished the Lord of the Inferno and obtained a white-hot ember. Next, take on Garuda in the Howling Eye (Hard) and defeat her to obtain a howling gale.
**※The Howling Eye (Hard) can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
**※This objective must be completed as a warrior.

*You have silenced the Lady of the Vortex and obtained a howling gale. Next, take on Titan in the Navel (Hard) and defeat him to obtain a chunk of hyperfused ore.
**※The Navel (Hard) can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
**※This objective must be completed as a warrior.

*You have buried the Lord of Crags and obtained a chunk of hyperfused ore. Deliver it along with the white-hot ember and the howling gale to Gerolt.

*You have delivered the three items Gerolt requires to create a raging fire. Now he only wants for a bottle of Radz-at-Han quenching oil to complete the restoration of your relic. Obtain this item and deliver it to the weaponsmith.

*You have delivered the bottle of Radz-at-Han quenching oil to Gerolt, who promptly sees to the final stage of the restoration process. After no small amount of effort and perseverance, you are now the proud owner of Bravura. May it serve you well in your adventures to come!

{{main|Relic Weapons/Quest#A Relic Reborn}}
<big>'''This is not a [[Job Quests|job quest]]!'''</big> Instead, this is the beginning of ''[[A Realm Reborn]]'''s [[Relic Weapons]] questline 
'''Relic weapons from past expansions are not intended for combat use, but for cosmetic, [[achievements]], and collection purposes.''' Weapons of similar power, for the same player level, that are much more easily obtainable and are intended for character progression can be bought with {{tomestone|Poetics}} [[Allagan Tomestone of Poetics|Allagan Tomestones of Poetics]].'''

Note: While [[A Relic Reborn]] must be completed for each [[Zodiac Weapon]], raising the weapon to a [[Zenith Zodiac Weapons|Zenith Zodiac weapon]] only requires accessing the furnace near [[Gerolt]] with the required amount of [[Thavnairian Mist]]. The next quest, [[Up in Arms]], need only be completed once.

==Steps==
*Obtain the [[Timeworn Artemis Bow]] from a treasure coffer in [[Natalan]].
*Deliver the Timeworn Artemis Bow to [[Gerolt]].
*Deliver a materia-enhanced [[Longarm's Composite Bow]] to Gerolt.
*Examine the destination at [[the Weeping Saint]] and, as a bard, use the [[Duty Finder]] to complete the trial "[[A Relic Reborn: The Chimera]]."
*Deliver the [[Alumina Salts]] to Gerolt.
*Speak with [[Rowena]] at [[Revenant's Toll]].
*Obtain an [[Amdapor Glyph]] by completing [[Amdapor Keep]] as a bard.
*Deliver the Amdapor glyph to Rowena.
*Deliver the copy of [[Bow of the Gods]] to Gerolt.
*Slay [[Natalan Boldwing]]s while equipped with the [[unfinished Artemis Bow]].
*Slay [[Natalan Fogcaller]]s while equipped with the unfinished Artemis Bow.
*Slay [[Natalan Windtalon]]s while equipped with the unfinished Artemis Bow.
*Speak with Gerolt.
*Examine the destination outside [[Halatali]] and, with the unfinished Artemis Bow equipped, use the Duty Finder to complete the trial "[[A Relic Reborn: The Hydra]]."
*Speak with Gerolt.
*Give the Unfinished Artemis Bow to Gerolt.
*Obtain a [[White-Hot Ember]] in [[the Bowl of Embers (Hard)]] as a bard.
*Obtain a [[Howling Gale]] in [[The Howling Eye (Hard)]] as a bard.
*Obtain a chunk of [[Hyperfused Ore]] in [[The Navel (Hard)]] as a bard.
*Deliver the requested items to Gerolt.
*Deliver a bottle of [[Radz-at-Han Quenching Oil]] to Gerolt.

==Journal==
*Gerolt has the air of a man defeated.

*Gerolt has reluctantly agreed to lend his expertise to the restoration of a legendary arm of yore. For the first step, the weaponsmith bids you venture within Natalan in the Coerthas central highlands to retrieve the lost Artemis Bow. Search for a vessel in which the valuable relic might be kept.

*You have obtained the timeworn Artemis Bow. Make your way back to Hyrstmill and present the relic to Gerolt.

*According to Gerolt, the restoration process involves merging the old with the new─that is, embedding the original relic in a new host weapon. To this end, you must bring him a longarm's composite bow melded with two grade three heavens' eye materia.

*You have delivered the materia-enhanced longarm's composite bow to Gerolt. The weaponsmith next directs you to go to the Weeping Saint in the Coerthas central highlands, and obtain alumina salts from the dhorme chimera.
**※The dhorme chimera can be confronted via the Duty Finder upon examining the quest destination.
**※This objective must be completed as a bard.

*You have painstakingly obtained the pinch of alumina salts. Make your way back to Hyrstmill and deliver it to Gerolt.

*Using the alumina salts you brought him, Gerolt adds the finishing touches to your relic weapon. Even as he declares his work over, however, the man believes that there is still something incomplete about it. In order to shed light upon the mystery, Gerolt suggests that you seek out literature surrounding the hero associated with the relic. Perhaps the trader Rowena back at Revenant's Toll will be able to assist you in this endeavor.

*You have consulted Rowena, who agrees to procure the literature you seek...for a price. For your part of the deal, you must obtain for her an Amdapor glyph. Make your way through Amdapor Keep in the South Shroud, and procure this artifact.
**※Amdapor Keep can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
**※This objective must be completed as a bard.

*You have successfully obtained an Amdapor glyph. Make your way back to Revenant's Toll and deliver it to Rowena.

*You give the Amdapor glyph to Rowena, who upholds her promise and furnishes you a copy of Bow of the Gods. You now possess literature on the hero who once wielded the relic weapon. Gerolt the weaponsmith will be keen to peruse it.

*After a cursory examination of the text, Gerolt declares that he will require some time to make sense of its contents. In the meantime, you are to familiarize yourself with the restored weapon in its current state. Arm yourself with the unfinished Artemis Bow, make your way to Natalan in the Coerthas central highlands, and there slay eight Natalan boldwings, eight Natalan fogcallers, and eight Natalan windtalons.

*You have defeated the specified Ixal. Return to Hyrstmill and report your success to Gerolt.

*Upon your return, Gerolt deduces that you must face mightier adversaries if you are to experience a revelation pertaining to your relic. To this end, he bids you challenge the hydra within Halatali, the abandoned training grounds situated in eastern Thanalan. Armed with the unfinished Artemis Bow, enter Halatali and defeat the hydra.
**※The hydra can be confronted via the Duty Finder upon examining the quest destination.

*You have overcome the hydra. Take word of your accomplishment back to Gerolt at Hyrstmill.

*Combining information gleaned from the text with your firsthand experience, Gerolt has ascertained what must be done next. Hand over the unfinished Artemis Bow to the weaponsmith.

*Gerolt declares that but one step remains in the restoration. In order to create the raging fire that he needs, the weaponsmith bids you fetch him a white-hot ember, a howling gale, and a chunk of hyperfused ore. The first of these can be obtained by defeating Ifrit within the Bowl of Embers (Hard).
**※The Bowl of Embers (Hard) can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
**※This objective must be completed as a bard.

*You have extinguished the Lord of the Inferno and obtained a white-hot ember. Next, take on Garuda in the Howling Eye (Hard) and defeat her to obtain a howling gale.
**※The Howling Eye (Hard) can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
**※This objective must be completed as a bard.

*You have silenced the Lady of the Vortex and obtained a howling gale. Next, take on Titan in the Navel (Hard) and defeat him to obtain a chunk of hyperfused ore.
**※The Navel (Hard) can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
**※This objective must be completed as a bard.

*You have buried the Lord of Crags and obtained a chunk of hyperfused ore. Deliver it along with the white-hot ember and the howling gale to Gerolt.

*You have delivered the three items Gerolt requires to create a raging fire. Now he only wants for a bottle of Radz-at-Han quenching oil to complete the restoration of your relic. Obtain this item and deliver it to the weaponsmith.

*You have delivered the bottle of Radz-at-Han quenching oil to Gerolt, who promptly sees to the final stage of the restoration process. After no small amount of effort and perseverance, you are now the proud owner of the Artemis Bow. May it serve you well in your adventures to come!

* Nedrick appears concerned about your equipment.

* Nedrick has introduced you to Rowena, an artifact collector who has set up shop at Revenant's Toll in Mor Dhona. If you are serious about your equipment, he recommends paying her a visit.

* Rowena tells you about a weaponsmith of no small repute named Gerolt, who she claims is skilled in the restoration of ancient relics. Find Gerolt at Hyrstmill in the North Shroud, and show him the promise of payment that Rowena has given you.

* You meet and speak with Gerolt. Shamelessly exploiting the prodigious debt he owes Rowena, you coerce the man into lending you his expertise in the restoration of a relic weapon. Do as Gerolt directs if you wish to become the proud owner of a legendary arm of yore.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Nedrick Ironheart:''' How fares the adventuring of late? Your gear holding up against the rigors of the trade? Make no mistake, my friend, the quality of your weapon may well prove the difference between life and death.
'''Nedrick Ironheart:''' If you're serious about such things, there's someone I can introduce you to. Her name is Rowena, and she is a collector of all manner of rare artifacts. She just might have something in her stock to suit your martial prowess.
'''Nedrick Ironheart:''' Rowena used to do business in Ul'dah, but has since relocated to Revenant's Toll so as to be nearer to the ancient ruins from which she derives her livelihood. Should you ever have reason to go there, you'd do well to pay her a call.

===Speaking with Rowena===
'''Rowena:''' A friend o' Nedrick's, are you? Then you must be an adventurer o' some skill. My business relies on capable people such as you. As a gesture o' goodwill, I'm goin' to share with you a morsel of information.
'''Rowena:''' There's this bloke named Gerolt. Makes his livin' in weapons and armor and whatnot. They say his skill is the finest in all the realm. Might be as it's gone to his head, though. Folks don't take to the man, if you get my meanin'. Oh, and he likes a drink, and all.
'''Rowena:''' Bloody Byregot Himself in the forge, though. As a young lad, he was cast out on his ear by his master for the crime o' craftin' finer wares─and that while piss-drunk. Ever since, he's roamed here and there, earnin' his keep day to day.
'''Rowena:''' Aye, I've known Gerolt ever since I landed in this business. Ain't seen him for a while, though. And the last time I ''did'', the ol' fool had tears in his eyes and snot drippin' from his nose. “Fallen on hard times,” he said. Asked for a bit o' coin to tide him over. Never paid me back, neither.
'''Rowena:''' Couldn't say for sure where he is now. Seem to remember hearin' he was in the Black Shroud, puttin' up at Hyrstmill or some such place. You might do well to commission his work. He'll even reforge the relics of old if you make it worth his while, and there ain't no other in Eorzea as can do that.
'''Rowena:''' If it's relics you care to know about, I've a promise o' payment what might catch your fancy. It don't look like much, but it'll get ol' Gerolt to fire up his forge. That much I promise.

===Showing the promise of payment to Gerolt===
'''Gerolt:''' Got business with me, have ye, adventurer? Then there'd better be coin or drink in it. Elsewise, bugger off back to wherever it was ye came from.
...Restoration work on an old weapon, ye say? Hah! What makes ye think I'd fire up the forge for a grimy old─
'''''<Hand Over Promise of Payment>'''''
'''Gerolt:''' Egads! Wh-Where in the seven hells did ye get that promise of payment!? I ain't got no coin, I tell ye! Nay, not a single bloody gil!
'''Gerolt:''' Gods, jus' look at me...at how far I've fallen! Me, the greatest weaponsmith of our age, hammerin' out dints in kettles to pay off a tavern debt! <sob>
'''Gerolt:''' Can ye even begin to grasp me humiliation? Can ye!? Bah, 'course ye can't! Why did I even bother askin'!?
'''Gerolt:''' <sigh> All right, all right... I'll restore yer bloody weapon. Jus' get that godsdamned slip of paper out of me sight.

'''System:''' The quest “A Relic Reborn” is now available from Gerolt.
'''System:''' This quest can only be undertaken when playing as one of the following jobs: Paladin, warrior, monk, dragoon, bard, ninja, black mage, summoner, white mage, or scholar.
'''System:''' In order to accept “A Relic Reborn,” you must first complete the level 50 quest for one of the previously mentioned jobs. Each job has its own “A Relic Reborn” quest, the completion of which will earn you the relic weapon for that job.
'''System:''' Please note that you can only undertake one “A Relic Reborn” quest at any given time. If you wish to acquire a different relic weapon, you must either complete or abandon the current quest.

* Speak with [[Jalzahn]].

==Journal==
* Gerolt appears to be in a spot of bother.

* Busy as ever with his kettle mending, Gerolt the weaponsmith would have you entertain an unexpected guest in his stead. Do as bade and speak with the visitor, an elderly gentleman by the name of Jalzahn.

*Hailing from the Near Eastern city–state of Radz-at-Han, Jalzahn reveals himself to be none other than the genius mind behind Thavnairian mist, the elixir which you used to enhance your relic. According to the alchemist, your weapon can be raised to new heights of power through the use of crystalline objects he calls atma. Twelve unique pieces are required, and these can be obtained by equipping a relic weapon zenith and participating in FATEs in the following regions:
**Central Shroud: Atma of the Maiden
**North Shroud: Atma of the Archer
**East Shroud: Atma of the Goat
**Middle La Noscea: Atma of the Ram
**Outer La Noscea: Atma of the Lion
**Lower La Noscea: Atma of the Fish
**Upper La Noscea: Atma of the Water-bearer
**Western La Noscea: Atma of the Crab
**Eastern Thanalan: Atma of the Bull
**Central Thanalan: Atma of the Scales
**Western Thanalan: Atma of the Twins
**Southern Thanalan: Atma of the Scorpion

*※Upon collecting all pieces of atma, present them to Jalzahn to complete the enhancement process.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest (Cutscene)===
'''Gerolt:''' It's ''you''! Gods, I never thought I'd be glad to see ye!
'''Gerolt:''' Just the other day, this old bloke from some faraway land suddenly appeared. He's been buggin' me ever since, askin' about puttin' souls in relics or summat. None of it makes a whit o' sense to me.
'''Gerolt:''' >> Can't the man see how busy I am, poundin' kettles all bloody day!? I ain't got the time to be humorin' the elderly! <<
'''Gerolt:''' What's more, ''yer'' the one with a relic, ain't that right? If there's anyone this Jalzahn bloke oughta be botherin', I reckon it's ''you''! Run along, then, an' keep the old coot off me back!

===Speaking with Jalzahn (Cutscene)===
'''Jalzahn:''' Ah, the impropriety! In my land, the elderly are treated with deference, and visitors received with honor!
'''Jalzahn:''' You must excuse me, adventurer. I have endured a trying sea voyage to meet with Eorzea's greatest weaponsmith, only to find that he is the greatest boor I have ever had the displeasure of knowing.
'''Jalzahn:''' >> ...But what is this? Your weapon─unless I am gravely mistaken, 'tis a relic infused with Thavnairian mist! <<
'''Jalzahn:''' Marvelous, marvelous! Ah, but where are my manners?
'''Jalzahn:''' Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jalzahn, and I hail from the Near Eastern city–state of Radz-at-Han. I am an alchemist by trade.
'''Jalzahn:''' It has been my life's work to study the enhancement of arms through soul infusion. Verily, Thavnairian mist is one of the fruits of my toils.
'''Jalzahn:''' Upon learning that the elixir had come to some prominence in Eorzea, I journeyed here with the intent of exploring new possibilities in my research. I want but for a subject to proceed.
'''Jalzahn:''' If you would be that subject, your weapon will become further enhanced. Will you agree to assist me, adventurer, and for your troubles come to possess a mightier relic?

'''< Will you assist Jalzahn? >'''
'''< Yes >'''
'''< No >'''

'''''< Yes >'''''
'''Jalzahn:''' A decision you will not regret! But without further ado, allow me to explain what my research will entail.

'''''< No >'''''
'''Jalzahn:''' You answered in the negative, but the yearning in your eyes tells me a different tale. You are doubtful of my endeavor, and small wonder since we have only but met. If you would allow me to explain what my research shall entail, it may well put your doubts to rest.

'''(Both)'''
'''Jalzahn:''' Now, I trust you are aware that aether permeates all things in our world. What you may not know, however, is that aether is found in greater concentrations in Eorzea than elsewhere.
'''Jalzahn:''' When a weapon infused with a quasi-soul such as your relic is used to slay a living being in this aether-rich land, a peculiar phenomenon occurs.
'''Jalzahn:''' The aether released by the fallen creature resonates with your weapon, and agglomerates into a crystal which I have dubbed “atma.” It must be noted that this occurs only on rare occasions, due to factors I have yet to identify.
'''Jalzahn:''' Now, as you may have already gathered, atma is essentially the crystallized soul of a living being. And these crystals hold the key to strengthening your weapon.
'''Jalzahn:''' According to my research, twelve unique pieces of atma are required, meaning they must be acquired from twelve different foes. See the deed done, adventurer, and you shall hold in your hands such power as you have never known!

'''System:''' By participating in certain FATES while equipped with a relic wepaon zenith, you may obtain an atma crystal. The locations of the FATEs and the atma yielded are as follows:
'''System:''' Central Shroud: Atma of the Maiden
Southern Thanalan: Atma of the Scorpion
Upper La Noscea: Atma of the Water–bearer
'''System:''' East Shroud: Atma of the Goat
Eastern Thanalan: Atma of the Bull
Middle La Noscea: Atma of the Ram
'''System:''' Western Thanalan: Atma of the Twins
Outer La Noscea: Atma of the Lion
Lower La Noscea: Atma of the Fish
'''System:''' North Shroud: Atma of the Archer
Central Thanalan: Atma of the Scales
Western La Noscea: Atma of the Crab
'''System:''' This information can be reviewed in the completed journal for the quest "Up in Arms", which can be found under "Weapon Enhancement Sidequests."

==Steps==
* Speak with [[13th Order Alchemist Ga Zi]].
* Dispatch cobalt golems near the swaystone in the 13th Order workshop. 0/4
* Use the waymaker bomb on the swaystone.
* Report to [[789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu]].
==Walkthrough==
Speak with 789th Order Acolyte Ba Go. Enter the workshop and go to the designated area. Kill four Cobalt Golems. Use the Waymaker Bomb on the Swaystone.

==In-game Description==
There is a peevish avidity about Bo Gu that you recognize too well: a purpose most petty is yours to serve.

Cobalt golems stand between Bo Gu and what he feels is his rightful salvage. The insane kobold logic notwithstanding, go speak with alchemist Ga Zi of the 13th, who has ever been an accessory in crimes and misdemeanors against his own order.

The blunt-spoken alchemist finds a flaw in Bo Gu's plan, and instructs you in the finer points of destroying the golem-controlling swaystone. By dispatching four golems in the workshop near the swaystone, you can weaken it to a sufficient level.

Ga Zi's analogy of a clenched fist was apt; with the fall of each golem, the force binding together the swaystone weakens. A fist half-clenched only harms the hand. Use the small waymaker bomb and destroy the stone.

The swaystone is no more, and the golems it controlled have lost their lease on an existence neverending-- so perhaps you did them a favor as well. But of course, nobody will be as pleased by the outcome as Bo Gu, to whom you owe a courtesy report.

The craftsman is indeed pleased, and salivates over the coming pillage. A seasoned adventurer once told you that in this life, you would serve the mediocre more than you would the great, but that with luck, some of the mediocre would prove diverting. How lucky you are to be at the behest of Bo Gu and the 789th.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu:''' Adventurer, oh, adventurer! We have been most ill used! I was recovering supplies from the 13th Order workshop─retrieving, salvaging, recovering─and I was attacked by cobalt golems!
'''789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu:''' After the recent trouble, those supplies are wasted on the 13th, yes, yes. But the golems are too powerful, oh–so–unkillable─never subdued, ever–regenerating, oh–so–unkillable. Bo Gu fought valiantly but he was forced to withdraw!
'''789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu:''' The adventurer can handle a golem or two, yes? Yes, yes. Maybe even two and some─more, several, and some! Go to the 13th Order workshop and smash the swaystone─that interfering rock must be blown to bits!
'''789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu:''' The stone holds sway over the golems, the golems are its to command. Destroy the stone with this wee waymaker, and any fallen golem shall stay down!
'''789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu:''' The 13th has Ga Zi posted as sentry, he'll not bar our way, no, no. Ga Zi will allow the adventurer to make free with the workshop!

'''(Optional)'''
'''789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu:''' What will happen to the supplies without our welly-well meddling? I shudder to think of the scavengers─marauders, filchers, scavengers! The adventurer must brave the 13th Order workshop and smash the swaystone!

===Speaking with 13th Order Alchemist Ga Zi===
'''789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu:''' Yunz here to make trouble for Zo Ga? That's what I's like to hear, uh-huh, uh-huh. The swaystone, though─that's tough to bugger up. Won't get nowhere up its crack, yunz won't, not with that piddly bomb.
'''789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu:''' Those stones, they's always clenched, yunz get that? That's how to hold sway over something, golems or kobolds, uh-huh, uh-huh. Yunz got to pry it open first. Beating on its golems'll do that.
'''789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu:''' Yunz take out a few golems, slip that bomb in when the stone's roughed up but good─moused up, weakened, roughed up, that sort of thing.

'''789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu:''' A swaystone needs softening up before yunz can bugger it up, yunz won't do much with the waymaker otherwise, nuh-uh, nuh-uh. Beat on the golems but good, that'll loosen up that rock, yunz listening?
'''789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu:''' So what I's saying is, yunz take out a few golems and slip that bomb in when the stone's roughed up but good, and bwom!─'splosion, fire in the hole, bwom, that sort of thing.

===Returning to 789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu===
'''789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu:''' I smell gunpowder stink, I see smears of slickens...my senses are keen, yes, yes! Does this mean the adventurer has shattered the swaystone?
'''789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu:''' Happy, happy news! The stone gone, the golems so–very–killable! The 13th Order's supply can be salvaged now─saved, rescued, salvaged!

==Steps==
* Speak with [[13th Order Alchemist Ga Zi]].
* Open the pressure valve in the 13th Order workshop.
* Damage the furnace by tossing a rejected bomb arm through the pressure lid.
* Search the embers for the big shrapnel and slay it to acquire its core.
* Deliver the big shrapnel core to [[789th Order Acolyte Ba Go]].
* Report to [[789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu]].
==Walkthrough==
Speak to 13th Order Alchemist Ga Zi to enter the workshop. Interact with the pressure valve and use the arm obtained on the Pressure Lid. Interact with the embers until a Big Shrapnel spawns and kill it to get the Shrapnel Core. Take it to 789th Order Acolyte Ba Go.
==In-game Description==
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and by that definition, Craftsman Bo Gu is definitely the kobold to know. Why not visit him for heated words and cold gil?

Bo Gu would like to bring the 15th Order down a peg by sabotaging their workshop. Diligent only in his discontent, the craftsman has a keen sense of who his likely allies are. The alchemist Ga Zi might well prove receptive to your approach.

Ga Zi is not what the 13th Order would call a team player, and is all too happy to tell you how to wreck on the prototype furnace in the workshop. Ga Zi will act as the guide, and your job is to open the pressure valve once inside the workshop.

You have released the valve and opened the furnace door. Now, throw the rejected bomb arm into the opening and see how the prototype furnace deals with this particular stress test.

The prototype is deplorably unprepared for the rigors of consumer use. Take a moment to admire the flames, then search the embers vomited out by the dying furnace and slay any shrapnels that appear.

The shrapnels, bewildered ass they are by the sudden dislocation from the cradling furnace, are no match for you. Check the embers again for a big shrapnel, and rip out its core.

The shrapnel's core is yours. Where the need is greater, the core must serve. And since the need for volatile voidsent bits is the greatest with the 789th Order Acolyte Ba Go, to him must you deliver this glowing core.

Ba Go receives the big shrapnel core with clutching delight, and absently notes that Ga Zi has just bought himself out of a fiery demise. Report the happy ending to Bo Gu.

Bo Gu is over the moon, having witnessed the hated 13th Order Fugleman Zo Ga frustrated, furious, and without a furnace. How Bo Gu has grown! He has come far indeed, from crude assassinations to collaborative sabotage.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu:''' We are the bottom of the barrel, each a riff and together a raff, yes, yes. So far down are we from where Zo Ga and his ilk hold court that it is dizzying─disquieting, vertiginous, dizzying!
'''789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu:''' They might say our idleness is the cause, they might point to our love of shortcuts─they are dead wrong and I just might get literal with the “dead” part! The cause of it all is the 13th's prototype alchemy furnace, yes, yes!
'''789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu:''' Does the adventurer know Ba Go's friend, the alchemist Ga Zi? Ga Zi is with the 13th, Ga Zi knows their workshop welly-well, most familiar is this alchemist with the furnace.
'''789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu:''' The adventurer could talk with this Ga Zi, yes, yes. Make [himself/herself] agreeable to Ga Zi, and learn ways to wreak lovely havoc on the workshop─chaos, ruination, havoc!

'''(Optional)'''
'''789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu:''' The adventurer must speak to Ga Zi, find ways to throw a spanner into the works, yes, yes. Bring the 13th Order workshop to its knees, yes, yes!

===Speaking with 13th Order Alchemist Ga Zi===
'''13th Order Alchemist Ga Zi:''' Yunz want to muck up the 13th's workshop? Can hardly say no to a friend of Ba Go, refuse that Ba Go and I's might have an accident─an oops, a kaboom, an accident, that sort of thing.
'''13th Order Alchemist Ga Zi:''' I's a 13th, that don't mean a worm squeeze. Bugger Zo Ga and his five bells 'tween “glows out” and first gong, uh-huh, uh-huh. Yunz go wreck up that prototype furnace, bugger that thing good.
'''13th Order Alchemist Ga Zi:''' I's going to tell yunz how: soon as yunz get in the workshop, open the pressure valve, uh-huh, uh-huh. The valve'll open right up, not going to be a problem, that valve. Then hustle this bomb arm inside, yunz got all that?
'''13th Order Alchemist Ga Zi:''' That buggering furnace's going to overheat but good, shrapnels going to be coming at yunz so just kill 'em right. I's got a good idea, yunz be on the lookout for the big shrapnel, uh-huh, uh-huh. Slay that bugger and yunz can take its core.
'''13th Order Alchemist Ga Zi:''' Won't be just another core, nuh-uh, nuh-uh. That there's going to be a rare bomb core, yunz'll know it by a green sort of glow. Give it over to Ba Go, Ba Go will take it. Yunzes are making out with this caper─profiting, cleaning up, making out, that sort of thing.

'''13th Order Alchemist Ga Zi:''' Yunz get moving, bugger up that prototype furnace in the 13th Order workshop and kill all that shrapnel. Get the big shrapnel core, uh-huh, uh-huh.

===Inside the 13th Order Workshop===
(System message) There is a rush of heat from among the embers!
(Shrapnel) Ghllgh-ghlllggh...

(System message) The big shrapnel strikes!
(Big Shrapnel) Ghllllgggh...ghlgh!

===Speaking with 789th Order Acolyte Ba Go===
'''789th Order Acolyte Ba Go:''' Haha, heehea, what do you want with Ba Go? Busy, busy is Ba Go...but never too busy for things that go kaboom─bwom, bang, kaboom...
'''789th Order Acolyte Ba Go:''' What is this? Is Ba Go seeing something new? Yesss, yesss, you have presented Ba Go with a new lovely! The core of a big shrapnel, haha! Heeheahhahaha!
'''789th Order Acolyte Ba Go:''' Ba Go likes Ga Zi now, Ga Zi is safe again. You are puzzled─perplexed, bemused, puzzled. Ba Go has no friends, no, no. Ba Go has his lovelies!
'''789th Order Acolyte Ba Go:''' Little green beauty must have a little bath now, you will go shoo─away, hie, shoo! Go tell Bo Gu that you destroyed the furnace. Haha! Heeheahhahaha!

===Returning to 789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu===
'''789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu:''' Adventurer, oh, adventurer, what fun─merriment, jollity, fun! Zo Ga has been tearing about, in absolute panic he is in, trying to repair the furnace!
'''789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu:''' He will never fix it, no, no. He will waste all day, and spend all night brooding over the lost day! His bedwarmer he will use roughly, and the next day he will find the bed a cold place, yes, yes...

* Report to [[789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu]]
==Walkthrough==
Speak with 13th Order Alchemist Ga Zi to enter the 13th Order Workshop. Interact with 13th Order Alchemists and Scholars and slay six of them.
==In-game Description==
789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, a situation he hopes to rectify.

Intimidated by the assemblage of alchemical geniuses working for Zo Ga at the 13th Order workshop, Bo Gu would level the intellectual playing field the only way one of his limited mental faculties can fathom-- by sending an adventurer like yourself to infiltrate the workshop and bash their brains in. Seek entrance to the workshop from the ever-sympathetic Ga Zi, and hurl assorted epithets at the learned kobolds to spur them to attack and thus justify the subsequent slaughter.

Some of the greatest geniuses in kobold history are no more. Console yourself with the thought that they were probably up to no good anyway, and return to the 789th Order Dig to deliver news of your triumph to Bo Gu.

Feeling a good deal more intelligent than he did a short while ago, Bo Gu applauds your efforts to dumb down the 13th. Judging from the self-satisfied grin on his face, you have little doubt that he will be calling upon you again to carry out his next brilliant idea...

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu:''' Bo Gu cannot stand the 13th, no. Always using big words, hiding in their workshop making booms and bangs, bangs and burns that make big trouble for Bo Gu.
'''789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu:''' The only smart one around here is Ba Go. And Ba Go does not care for us─no, no. Ba Go cares only for his beauties, and for Ba Go.
'''789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu:''' Bo Gu would show the 13th that their wits mean nothing. No, no, wits will not stop you from getting sliced─chopped, diced, sliced─by an overdweller. Yes, an overdweller like you...
'''789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu:''' But Bo Gu does not believe in senseless violence─no, no. So you will break into the workshop, yes? Call them fathead and four-eyes, yes, and other nasty names. They get angry, then you kill them.
'''789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu:''' Ga Zi will let you into the workshop, yes, yes. Ga Zi is of the 13th, but cares little for his puffed-up peers. Yes this, Bo Gu knows.

'''(Optional)'''
'''789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu:''' Bo Gu would show the 13th that their wits mean nothing. No, no, wits will not stop you from getting sliced─chopped, diced, sliced─by an overdweller.
'''789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu:''' You will break into the workshop, yes? Call them fathead and four-eyes, yes, and other nasty names. Then they get angry, then you kill them.

===Speaking with 13th Order Alchemist Ga Zi===
'''13th Order Alchemist Ga Zi:''' Bulgebrains in the workshop make fun of Ga Zi, say he talk funny─strange, odd, funny, that sort of thing. Yunz want to slap some sense into them, Ga Zi won't get in yunz's way, nuh-uh, nuh-uh.

===Inside the 13th Order Workshop===
'''13th Order Scholar:''' Intruder will bleed─spurt, gush, bleed!

'''13th Order Alchemist:''' No, no! Zo Ga d-didn't tell me I'd have to fight!

'''13th Order Scholar:''' Our secrets are not for overdweller eyes! Overdweller must die─yes, yes, die!

===Returning to 789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu===
'''789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu:''' Oh, thank you, adventurer! That will teach Zo Ga a lesson─a message, a moral, a lesson. Yes, no matter how smart you might be, there is always someone smarter than you.
'''789th Order Craftsman Bo Gu:''' We make a good team, yes─you and me, me and you. With Bo Gu's brains and your brawn, there is nothing─no, no, nothing─we cannot do!

==Steps==
* Speak with Y'nazqha.
* Speak with Y'nazqha in the maiden's home.
* Enter ''The Merchant's Tale''.
* Speak with Y'nazqha in Old Sharlayan.
* Speak with Shallow Moor.
==Journal==
* Shallow Moor has an odd job for an enterprising adventurer.
* Shallow Moor relays an odd job request from someone who apparently knows you by name: one Y'nazqha, a gleaner and younger sister of none other than Y'shtola. She has enlisted your aid in a most unusual quest: to keep her safe while she explores the pages of a magical book left to her by her late father. The nature of the book demands it be kept under careful watch, so Y'nazqha instructs you to come to the gleaners' lodgings in Journey's End at your soonest convenience to learn more.
* Y'nazqha informs you that the book in question is entitled ''The Merchant's Tale'', a fable passed down in Corvos following the narrative of a young merchant's quest to find a great treasure. While the enchantment imbued within the manuscript makes reading the book almost certainly dangerous, the young gleaner is heartened by your company and appears ready to leap into a world of fiction at your signal.
* As the magicked tome is held up before the two of you, its cover begins to glow, and the world falls away in a haze of white light. Its radiance soon fades, and you find yourselves in a small but well-kept room. What's more, you are not alone. A young woman is addressing Y'nazqha, who is now dressed in the garb of the tale's merchant. A scene plays out before you, and as the dialogue comes to a close, you suspect the gleaner may know how to move the story forward. ※In the event that you leave the area, you may return by reading ''The Merchant's Tale'' in Journey's End.
* With no clear path pointing towards the next plot point, you and Y'nazqha inspect the room. While what you find provides only vague hints at what is to come, your companion appears eager to step further into the book. ※''The Merchant's Tale'' can be accessed via the V&C Dungeon Finder. ※To open the V&C Dungeon Finder, interact with the passage to the next chapter or select the option located under Duty in the main menu.
* After a journey full of fantastic locales and fierce battle, you and Y'nazqha witness the final scene of ''The Merchant's Tale''─one of the final scenes, in any case. Free from the pages of the enchanted manuscript, Y'nazqha asks you to meet her at Journey's End to discuss what you experienced.
* Y'nazqha thanks you for your courage and for helping her learn more about the keepsake left by her late father, and asks you to help her explore the book further when you have time. With your odd job complete, all that is left is to return to Shallow Moor for payment.
* Shallow Moor congratulates you on a job well done, happy to have another satisfied customer. Yet ''The Merchant's Tale'' has secrets left to tell, and Y'nazqha is depending on your protection to help uncover all the wondrous passages that are yet unread.

Shallow Moor: Why, if it isn't [Forename]! Come seeking work to keep your hands busy? Well, you're in luck, for a client of ours specifically requested ''you'' for a little odd job. A Miqo'te lass who seems to know you, in fact.
Shallow Moor: Hah, you're dying to know who it is, I see. Her name is Y'nazqha, a gleaner. Does the name ring a bell?
Shallow Moor: Ah, I suppose there's no need to ponder─there she is!
''Y'nazqha is eating a stone-like object.''
Shallow Moor: Nazqha! Now's not the time to indulge your adventurous palate─the {{alternatives|f=woman|m=man}} you requested is here!

Y'nazqha: My apologies! I happened upon a new ingredient for sale and simply had to test its flavor!
Y'nazqha: The one and only [Forename], I take it? 'Tis a pleasure to finally meet you. Thank you for keeping watch over my older sister. Shtola can be quite the handful.
> If the player has completed the {{SMN}} [[summoner]] job quests
Y'nazqha: I understand even Mhitra has relied upon your aid. Her respect isn't won easily, so imagine my surprise when she began singing your praises!
---
Y'nazqha: When I had cause to seek out a skilled adventurer, I knew it had to be you. If my family can entrust you with matters of earth-shaking import, then who better to seek out for a little odd job?
Y'nazqha: If you have no objections, I would start right away. Now, will you journey into the pages of ancient folklore with me?
Y'nazqha: Ah, I suppose that is an odd request to give without explanation, isn't it? Allow me to elucidate.
Y'nazqha: You see, I'm a gleaner who specializes in recovering all manner of documents and manuscripts. Until but recently, I studied under my father and mentor, Y'rhul Nunh.
Y'nazqha: Unfortunately, he succumbed to disease while on a mission in a distant land. 'Twas a...terrible loss for us all.
Y'nazqha: ...Ah, forgive me. It was not my intent to sour the mood.
Y'nazqha: I was with him when he passed, so for a blessing I was able to say my farewells. Yet being suddenly left alone in an unfamiliar land was difficult, to say the least.
Y'nazqha: Luckily, my sisters were there to support me through the hardest times.
Y'nazqha: As was my father, in his way. He left me a keepsake, which happens to be at the heart of my request.
Y'nazqha: It is a beautifully illuminated manuscript that bears a treacherous enchantment: it can draw the reader's very mind into its pages. Needless to say, such a rare tome is notorious among collectors of unique and dangerous documents.
Y'nazqha: While it may seem a strange gift, I know my father gave it to me for a reason. And although it may be a risky endeavor, I must read its every page to find out why.
Y'nazqha: Now, I hope you understand the reason I requested your company. Might you keep me safe while I explore this world of fiction?

Question: What will you say?

> I've always wanted to be part of a storybook!
Y'nazqha: I knew you wouldn't turn down an adventure! Especially to a land few have laid eyes upon.
> I would never refuse Y'shtola's sister.
Y'nazqha: That's a great comfort to hear!
---

Y'nazqha: As you might imagine, such a book must be kept safe and away from prying eyes, so I've left it in safekeeping at the gleaners' lodgings in Journey's End.
Y'nazqha: I shall await you there when you're ready!

Shallow Moor: What an odd request, eh? But I'm sure you've received odder. Go on, now, and best of luck!

Y'nazqha: Thank you for coming, [Forename]! This is Fyrgeim, and she manages our lodgings here. I'd trust her with my life.

Fyrgeim: I was skeptical when Nazqha was set on recruiting the realm's foremost hero, but here you are. I reckon no one else could keep up with her boundless...curiosity.
Fyrgeim: Aye, it's gotten her into trouble more than once, but it's also made her into a talented gleaner in her own right.
Fyrgeim: You see, where most would hesitate to eat something upon first sight, Nazqha will gladly gulp, slurp, or chomp it down. All in the name of knowledge─or so she claims!

Y'nazqha: Yes, er... I am...very thorough. But enough about me─surely you're curious about the book! It's entitled ''The Merchant's Tale'', and it is a well-known fable passed down in Corvos, located in southern Ilsabard.
Y'nazqha: The protagonist is a shrewd young merchant, and the story describes his journey to find the perfect gift to win the heart of a young maiden.
Y'nazqha: However, over generations, countless versions of the tale have been passed down and retold. I can't say for certain how this particular manuscript ends.
Y'nazqha: We've no choice but to read the entire thing ourselves, a feat made quite daunting by the enchantment imbued within its pages.
Y'nazqha: I can't help but be reminded of my father's words before he passed. He gave the book to me and said...
Y'nazqha: “After reading the final passage, you will come to an understanding. You shall see what is needed most to travel the path before you.”
Y'nazqha: This is a trial of sorts, of that I'm certain. A test from mentor to pupil. From father to daughter. And I intended to rise to the occasion!
Y'nazqha: I haven't a clue what will happen when we give ourselves over to the magicks dwelling within the book, but with you by my side, I am not afraid.
Y'nazqha: So let us begin, and reveal the secrets bound within the covers of ''The Merchant's Tale''!

Fair Maiden: “You've come again, peddler, but why? You know I cannot return the affection you bear for me. Pray accept this truth and move on.”

Y'nazqha: I, uh... And you are?

Fair Maiden: “Joy is not meant for one such as me. My fate is to remain here alone, with only my sorrow for company.”

Question: What will you say?

> I take it the story has begun.
> It seems she's following a script.
> I have no idea what's going on...
---

Y'nazqha: I see... We've become characters in the narrative. And perhaps by acting as the characters should, we can advance the plot forward!
Y'nazqha: Bits and pieces are coming to me!
Y'nazqha: I must be the protagonist─the shrewd young merchant. Next is the scene where I propose to the enchanting maiden who has captured my heart. I say...
Y'nazqha@Theatrical Voice: “Pray perish such desolate thoughts, my dear beloved. You deserve the utmost happiness, and I shall give it to you!”

Fair Maiden: “If you would prove your words and ardor true, then bring me an object of worth immeasurable.”
Fair Maiden: “An object of value so great that it may fill the void within my heart. Do that, and I can rest assured that your intentions are pure.”

Y'nazqha@Theatrical Voice: “If you wish it, then it shall be done. Even if I must scour the ends of heaven and earth, I swear I shall return with what you desire.”

Fair Maiden: “Then I shall pray for your safe return.”

Y'nazqha: And thus the tale moves forward. Apparently now the merchant, together with his skilled and trusted bodyguard, set forth in search of priceless treasure.

Question: What will you say?

> Bodyguard? Sounds like a job for me!
Y'nazqha: I'm honored to have you by my side! Who better to entrust my safety to than the very hero who saved our star?
> I'm not the main character?
Y'nazqha: I'm terribly sorry about that, [Forename], but it seems the magicks of the book have made their choice.
---

Y'nazqha: Nevertheless, I am heartened to have the stoutest arm in Corvos by my side. We'll see wonders together, of that I'm certain!

System: The maiden ignores you. It seems her dialogue for this portion of the tale has been exhausted.
-optional end

===Speak with Y'nazqha in the maiden's home===
Y'nazqha: “An object of worth immeasurable”... Hmm... What sort of treasure could that be?
Y'nazqha: Whatever it is, it must be the key to unlocking the story's conclusion. It seems at this point in the narrative, the merchant is in the dark about it, so we've no choice but to read further.
Y'nazqha: Seeing as the answer would logically be within the tale itself, perhaps there is a clue in this very room. Why don't we give it a closer look first?

Question: Examine the room with Y'nazqha? (Yes/No)

-cutscene start
Y'nazqha: The room isn't very large, all things considered. Does anything catch your eye?

''Carpet''
Y'nazqha: In a room with so much blue and white, the carpet does stand out, doesn't it?
Y'nazqha: The pattern seems to be...a sea-maid. And upon closer look, it appears more worn than the other furniture. I suspect it has been a well-loved centerpiece over the years.

''Tea Set''
Y'nazqha: Ah, it's made from traditional porcelain found in Corvos. Marked by its vivid blue coloring, the material is still popular in the region.
Y'nazqha: According to a book I read some time ago, Corvosi tea is brewed strong and served with heaps of sugar.
Y'nazqha: Polite custom is to offer tea to guests and enjoy a leisurely chat over a cup. Such face-to-face interactions are a cherished part of daily life in Corvos!

''Magic Sigil''
Y'nazqha: Though the maiden appears to be unaware of its presence, there is some manner of sigil carved here upon the wall.
Y'nazqha: The same design adorns the cover of the book, in fact. I can sense energy flowing outward from it─likely it will bring us back to the real world.

''Fair Maiden''
Y'nazqha: A character in the tale itself. The story says she has no family and drifted into the city but several years ago.
Y'nazqha: While many suitors have been entranced by her beauty and grace, she has turned down every one.
Y'nazqha: None know where she came from or why she lives alone, and when asked about herself, she offers but a sad smile in return. This mystery seems only to deepen her allure.
Y'nazqha: Are you ready to go on? Of course, if there is anything else you would take a look at, simply say the word!

Question: What will you say?

> Let the story continue!
''Quest continues.''
> I think I saw something else...
Y'nazqha: Of course, we wouldn't want to miss anything! Who knows if we'll have another chance. Once you're ready to continue the story, just say the word.
''Back to examining the room until selecting Y'nazqha again.''
Y'nazqha: Are you ready to set off?

Question: What will you say?

>> Let the story continue!
''Quest continues.''
>> Maybe one last look around...
Y'nazqha: Of course, we wouldn't want to miss anything! Who knows if we'll have another chance. Once you're ready to continue the story, just say the word.
''Back to examining the room until selecting Y'nazqha again.''

Y'nazqha: Well said! What twists and turns await us, I wonder? I cannot wait to find out!
Y'nazqha: Although we've set foot into a work of fiction, it appears to be set in a time in Corvos from before Garlean rule. Sights lost to history might await us...
Y'nazqha: ...And perhaps deadly beasts, too! But with you here, I needn't fear fang nor claw.
Y'nazqha: Let us be off, then. It appears we can leave from the door over there.

{{i|The Merchant's Tale}} now accessible.

Y'nazqha: Apparently, as the protagonist, the enchantment gifts me with just enough information to progress the plot.
Y'nazqha: What awaits us beyond those broader strokes of the pen, I know not. But that makes the prospect of stepping outside all the more thrilling!
-optional end

===After clearing the Merchant's Tale===
-cutscene start
====Left path (defeating the Pari of Plenty)====
Fair Maiden: “An enchanted carpet...one that can soar the skies. I heard a tale about this once. An ancient tyrant commanded a pari under his thrall to make it.”
Fair Maiden: “Yet even among the heavens, I would not find what my heart desires. I implore you to sell this treasure and gain your fortune.”
Fair Maiden: “Pray forget about me, and seek happiness elsewhere.”

====Middle path (defeating the Lone Swordmaster)====
Fair Maiden: “The beloved weapon of a proud swordmaster. The engravings are singular in beauty, and the blade unmatched in keenness.”
Fair Maiden: “Yet even the sharpest sword cannot cut away the sadness which engulfs my heart. Sell this treasure, and gain your fortune.”
Fair Maiden: “Pray forget about me, and seek happiness elsewhere.”

====Right path (defeating Darya the Sea-maid)====
Fair Maiden: “Oh my. Such a jewel as I have never laid eyes upon before. It shimmers with all the light of the sea.”
Fair Maiden: “Yet such brilliance only serves to cast darker shadows upon my heart. Sell this, and win your fortune.”
Fair Maiden: “Pray forget about me, and seek happiness elsewhere.”

====Common (bad endings)====
System: You have reached the end of ''The Merchant's Tale''. Unfortunately, the fair maiden was unmoved by the treasure she received. Surely what she desires is somewhere else within the manuscript's pages.
> After defeating all 3 regular final bosses
System: You have explored the pages of ''The Merchant's Tale'' further!
System: Although unread passages remain, you can now enter the variant dungeon (advanced) for an even greater challenge.
System: Enter the new dungeon by speaking with Memolivia in Old Sharlayan.
> If the folklore record is not complete
System: The folklore record has yet to be filled completely. Travel down every road and best every beast to unveil the rich tapestry of ''The Merchant's Tale''!
---
====True ending (defeating the Deadly Dandan)====
Y'nazqha@Theatrical Voice: “My beloved, look. The sea-maid on this plate...it matches the one on the carpet adorning your room.”
Y'nazqha@Theatrical Voice: “I knew it must be special to you, and so I return with it now.”

Fair Maiden: “You were correct. This plate stirs memories of a life I had almost forgotten.”
Fair Maiden: “When that terrible beast snuffed out the light of my joy, and left me with naught but solitude and sorrow.”
Fair Maiden: “Yet I am also reminded of those I lost. My parents, my brothers. They would want me to live in happiness, surely...”
Fair Maiden: “It was wrong of me to put you through this ordeal, yet I am grateful for this gift. If you could find it in your heart to forgive me, I would gladly spend my life by your side.”

System: A new quest is available to undertake from Fyrgeim in Old Sharlayan.
-cutscene end
===Speak with Y'nazqha in Old Sharlayan===
-cutscene start
Y'nazqha: It seems we've witnessed the story's finale! Thank you, [Forename], for your stalwart companionship.

Fyrgeim: Welcome back. You two look none the worse for wear.

Y'nazqha: All thanks to [Forename] here. We faced beasts the likes of which I've only imagined, but {{alternatives|f=she|m=he}} trounced each and every one!
Y'nazqha: That was quite the singular experience, wasn't it? I'm aware some parts were embellished for the sake of story, but to experience Corvos as it once was... Truly, 'twas a treasure unto itself.

> If a left path was completed
Y'nazqha: A warm, verdant land that stretched as far as the eye can see. Not to mention, deliciously sweet apples and grapes abound! Needless to say I ate my fair share.
Y'nazqha: I understand the Garleans who once lived in Corvos called it “Locus Amoenus”─their utopia. Having seen it with my own eyes, I now understand why.
Y'nazqha: Sadly, the carpet we brought back from the bedchamber offered scant comfort to the young maiden. Yet perhaps the story can follow a different thread that we missed this time around...

> If a middle path was completed
Y'nazqha: Corvos brings to mind rich greenery and clear seas, so I was surprised to traverse such a treacherous valley! Yet those mushrooms we found were delicious enough to risk life and limb all over again.
Y'nazqha: And the swordmaster was a most fearsome foe! I had heard practitioners of the Unyielding Blade were wiped out by the Garleans, and every page of their teachings burned to ash. To see such swordplay firsthand was truly awe-inspiring.
Y'nazqha: Unfortunately, the hard-won weapon did little to placate the poor maiden's sadness. Yet perhaps there is a different outcome to be found among the book's pages!

> If a right path was completed
Y'nazqha: A journey through a sapphire city led us to the glittering ocean blue, full of vibrant corals and lustrous pearls! Though their taste was bitter, their beauty made up for it.
Y'nazqha: Even so, I won't soon forget the mythical sea-maid we encountered! Do you think such a people ever truly existed?
Y'nazqha: Unfortunately the jewel we brought back, brilliant as it was, could not fill the hole in the poor maiden's heart. Perhaps there is another path we can follow─one which will lead us to a different end.

> If the true ending path was completed
Y'nazqha: To think we would find fellowship with one of the sea-folk! I had worried maybe she would bar our way, yet the story unfolded in a wonderfully surprising fashion.
Y'nazqha: That monstrous fish got its just deserts after laying waste to the poor maiden's village. I had read that the seafaring peoples of the Corvos Narrow once paid obeisance to such creatures─doubtless out of terror.
Y'nazqha: Yet no beast can cow you, eh? Thanks to your might, we managed to recover exactly what we were looking for.
Y'nazqha: Although most wouldn't spare that ashen plate a second glance, the memories it stirred within the maiden's heart made it priceless to her.
---

Y'nazqha: We might have reached the end of the tale, yet I have a feeling it was but one of many.
Y'nazqha: My curiosity as a gleaner alone compels me to explore the book's pages further, yet I'm also determined to discover the meaning of my father's parting words.
Y'nazqha: So I intend to pore over the pages again and again, until I know its every twist and turn by heart!
Y'nazqha: However, I wouldn't dare brave the journey alone. I understand you're a busy {{alternatives|f=woman|m=man}}, but I would be grateful for your help whenever you have the time.
Y'nazqha: You have no idea how happy that makes me! Well then, I look forward to our next adventure.

Fyrgeim: ''The Merchant's Tale'' shall remain here in safekeeping. If you wish to peruse its pages again, you only need ask.

Y'nazqha: Oh, of course! I forgot to mention anything about your reward. Since the guildship handled this request, you can speak with Shallow Moor to receive it.
Y'nazqha: Now, I shall take my leave. I hope to see you again sooner rather than later, [Forename]!
-cutscene end

-optional start
Fyrgeim: Nazqha has a kind heart and a sharp mind, but also a shockingly reckless streak.
Fyrgeim: Surely you've witnessed this side of her already. If something catches her fancy, she won't hesitate to give it a taste.
Fyrgeim: Still, she is well-read, so I think she knows when something shouldn't be in her stomach. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come this far as a gleaner.
-optional end

===Speak with Shallow Moor===
Shallow Moor: There you are, [Forename]! I take it Y'nazqha's odd job wrapped up without a hitch?
Shallow Moor: So, she wasn't exaggerating─you actually ''went inside'' the book! I shouldn't have put it past Y'rhul Nunh to have such a wondrous tome in his collection.
Shallow Moor: While it's no surprise, I commend you for getting her safely to its final page. She chose well!
Shallow Moor: And thus your obligation to us comes to an end! However, I'm certain such a rare book holds an irresistible allure. Why, I reckon you're thinking about leaping back into its pages right this moment!

Fyrgeim: Nazqha could barely contain her excitement when she told me about it. She's been thinking about what you saw while inside the book, and she wanted to speak with you about it.
Fyrgeim: I shall contact her and tell her to meet you at Archons' Design. Hopefully the two of you can find a nice place for a chat.

-quest accepted

===Wait at the designated location===
-cutscene start
Y'nazqha: There you are! I hope you weren't waiting for long.
Y'nazqha: Now that I've had some time to think about our time within the manuscript, I'd like to thank you anew for your bravery. What you did was no easy feat!
Y'nazqha: I wouldn't have been able to decipher the story's mysteries without you. To think such a commonplace object would be the priceless treasure we were looking for!
Y'nazqha: One final question yet bothered me, however. I've been trying to figure out why my father gifted the book to me. What he wanted me to accomplish for his final test.
Y'nazqha: Eventually I remembered the advice my father gave when I asked to become his apprentice. Books had long since been my obsession, and I knew I wanted to specialize in recovering documents of all sorts.
Y'nazqha: “A gleaner may come into their own once they can obtain the item they're asked to find, but that is only the first step toward true mastery.”
Y'nazqha: For the longest time, I believed that my father was so respected because he could find even the rarest texts. Yet I realize now that I was wrong.
Y'nazqha: When we handed the young maiden that plate, she wept for joy. My father wanted me to see those tears...
Y'nazqha: What was of worth immeasurable to her would have looked worthless to anyone else.
Y'nazqha: The concept of value differs from person to person. A rare and expensive object won't necessarily be considered truly valuable by one and all.
Y'nazqha: A master gleaner can see what their client truly desires and deliver something that speaks to their heart.
Y'nazqha: That must be what my father meant by his advice so long ago.
Y'nazqha: I wasn't the only one left with a book, you know. My father, drawing on the keen sense he'd honed over a lifetime, left keepsakes for each of his daughters. Twelve books, each perfectly matching their recipient's needs.
Y'nazqha: Although the time he spent with us was scarce, he paid attention. Knew us through and through.
Y'nazqha: Now more than ever, I want to follow in his footsteps. His wisdom has gifted me with a new perspective from which to approach my work.
Y'nazqha: Of course, I have you to thank for this discovery. I won't soon forget our time together!
Y'nazqha: Speaking of which, my sisters and I don't see each other all too often, nor do we keep in touch regularly.
Y'nazqha: Even so, when Shtola and I had a chance to catch up recently, she told me all about the adventures you've shared together.
Y'nazqha: The tale was very concise and organized, as is her wont, yet the proud look on her face as she told it showed plainly how much she treasured the experience.
Y'nazqha: I felt like I caught a glimpse of what she considers truly valuable, and it made me feel closer to her.
Y'nazqha: I hope your travels continue to be exciting and fulfilling, [Forename]. I know that wheresoever you end up, a bright future awaits you.
-cutscene end

===Speak with Fyrgeim===
Fyrgeim: You spoke with Nazqha, then? Good, good. I know you're a busy {{alternatives|f=woman|m=man}}, so we both appreciate your time.
Fyrgeim: Y'rhul Nunh was truly one of the best of us. And while Nazqha has some work ahead until she reaches his level, there's no doubt in my mind she can eventually surpass her father.
Fyrgeim: ''The Merchant's Tale'' will remain here in safekeeping, and if ever you feel like perusing its pages once again, I'm certain Nazqha will gladly accompany you.
Fyrgeim: For all you've done for us, I would offer you this. We always give it to gleaners before they depart, that they may find their way back to us safely.
Fyrgeim: May it offer you the same protection on your next adventure! I only hope I have the chance to hear of it sometime.

* Deliver the rotting vegetables to [[789th Order Dustman Bo Zu|Bo Zu]].
==Walkthrough==
Collect 3 [[Worthless Ore]] from around Iron Lake. Take them to the quartermaster at Camp Overlook.
==In-game Description==
789th Order Dustman Bo Zu is half starved and can't be arsed to do much about it.

After much racking of his hunger-addled brain, Bo Zu has hit upon a plan to procure sustenance with minimal-to-no effort on his own part. To wit: You will bring ore to Camp Overlook under the pretense that you confiscated them from the kobolds' stock, requesting spare rations as reward for your efforts. As the dustman himself has no intention of parting with his own meager mining haul, travel to Iron Lake and acquire the necessary ore in his stead.

You have managed to acquire only a few chunks of the shabbiest-looking ore you have ever seen. Bring them to Camp Overlook, hoping that the quartermaster will pity you enough to offer some scant reward.

Rightfully unimpressed with your donation, the quartermaster tosses some leftovers from last night's supper your way with a strongly worded suggestion that you bother her no further. Take your sorry haul back to Bo Zu at the 789th Ordr Dig.

Bo Zu is overjoyed at your efforts-- the unappetizing nature of the meal outweighed by the fact that it was acquired without him lifting so much as a single paw. You cannot shake the feeling that the work-shy kobold will not hesitate to employ similar tactics in the near future...

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''789th Order Dustman Bo Zu:''' Zo Ga is true to his word. He has halved—yes, yes, cut in two—the 789th's ration allotment as punishment for our low yield. I am starving—ravenous, famished, starving! What, oh what, is a hungry kobold to do?
'''789th Order Dustman Bo Zu:''' Work harder, you say? But that sounds so tiring—grueling, taxing, tiring. I have a better plan. Yes, yes, a better plan, I have. Scraps of ore near Iron Lake, I saw. I was too tired to pick them up, but not you. No, no, not you.
'''789th Order Dustman Bo Zu:''' You should gather them and take them to Camp Overlook, yes, yes. Tell the officer there you stole them from the naughty, naughty kobolds. As reward, you'll get tasty food, which you can bring to Bo Zu. Then we'll ''feast''—gobble, gorge, feast!

===Delivering worthless ore to the quartermaster===
'''Camp Quartermaster:''' What's that? Plundered some precious metals from the kobolds that ye'd donate to our cause?
'''''<Hand Over Worthless Ore>'''''
'''Camp Quartermaster:''' Aye, the Maelstrom is fortunate indeed to 'ave capable allies like—
...Byregot's buttocks! These must be the sorriest dregs or ore I've ever 'ad the misfortune of layin' me eyes on.
'''Camp Quartermaster:''' Yer ''reward''!? How about this: I'll give ye some leftover scraps from last night's dinner, and you'll promise to go away and not waste any more of me time. Deal?

===Delivering the rotting vegetables to Bo Zu===
'''789th Order Dustman Bo Zu:''' You have brought my meal!? Yes, yes, tell me you have! Bo Zu's belly rumbles, rumbles so loud that it almost caused a cave-in—a collapse, a rockfall, a cave-in!
'''''<Hand Over Rotting Vegetables>'''''
'''789th Order Dustman Bo Zu:''' Oh, this will be a meal to savor—relish, delight, savor! Yes, yes, it is as Gi Gu always says—no treat is tastier than that earned by the efforts of others.

* Acquire lavish lunchpots from [[Iron Lake]]. 0/3
* Deliver lavish lunchpots to [[789th Order Dustman Bo Zu]].
==Walkthrough==
Collect three steaming lunchpots from Iron Lake.
==In-game Description==

The labor-averse Bo Zu has caught word of generous meals being distributed by Zo Ga to those industrious kobolds who have earned the fugleman's favor, and has concluded that the 789th is equally deserving of gustatory gratification despite their decided lack of productivity. Head to Iron Lake and appropriate three lavish lunchpots so that Bo Zu and his friends can feast like their hard-working peers for a day.

You have managed to secure three piping hot lunchpots. Deliver the feast to the 789th Order Dig in hopes that it will sate the stomach of the slavering Bo Zu.

Bo Zu revels in the fruits of your success, though any hopes that the dustman has learned a lesson about the value of hard work are promptly dashed when he shamelessly expresses his eagerness to impose upon you similarly again. You can only hope that the idle-handed kobold's stomach remains sated for the foreseeable future.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''789th Order Dustman Bo Zu:''' The unfairness—injustice, iniquity, unfairness of it all!
'''789th Order Dustman Bo Zu:''' While the 789th goes famished—starving, hungry, famished—Zo Ga and his cronies feast! Feast on lunchpots packed, yes, so packed with tasty treats that a single one could feed our entire dig for a week.
'''789th Order Dustman Bo Zu:''' Should Zo Ga and his hardworking cronies get all the rewards? No, no, a hundred times no! Yes, our tummies are rumbling—grumbling, mumbling, rumbling—as much as theirs!
'''789th Order Dustman Bo Zu:''' Why, I have a notion—a thought, a mind, a notion—to walk right over to Iron Lake and snatch one or three for myself. But walking is hard work. Yes, yes, and your legs are so much longer than mine...

===Delivering lavish lunchpots to 789th Order Dustman Bo Zu===
'''789th Order Dustman Bo Zu:''' Do I smell what I think I smell? Yes, yes, I believe I do!
'''''<Hand Over Lavish Lunchpots>'''''
'''789th Order Dustman Bo Zu:''' Freshly plucked lava toad legs? Earthworms that still wriggle and squirm? This is more than a meal, it is a feast—a banquet, a spread, a feast for the senses!
'''789th Order Dustman Bo Zu:''' Does sampling the delights of his peers inspire Bo Zu to work harder? No, no, never! Why would it, when I have long-legged friends like you?

*You have defused the threat and acquired the three cores. Return to the 789th Order Dig and hand the fruits of your labor to Bo Zu.

*Bo Zu expresses his gratitude for your efforts. Thought it was originally his intention to return the cores to Ba Go, the dustman has reconsidered, fearing that this would further fan the flames of jealousy harbored by the acolyte's volatile beauties.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''789th Order Dustman Bo Zu:''' They're going to blow─burst, blast, blow! Who? Three of Ba Go's beauties, yes, yes, that is who!
'''789th Order Dustman Bo Zu:''' And not just any beauties─no, no, they are the mothers of all beauties. Ba Go's very first creations. Ba Go spends too much time with his newest creations, and their mothers are not happy─no, no, not happy at all.
'''789th Order Dustman Bo Zu:''' They escape to Iron Lake, where they seethe with anger─fume, swell, seethe─and Ba Go is too smitten with his newfound lovelies to notice. You must cool their ire, yes, and bring their cores back to me. You bring them to me, and I bring them to Ba Go, that gentler beauties may be born.

===Returning to 789th Order Dustman Bo Zu===
'''789th Order Dustman Bo Zu:''' You return with the cores─yes, yes you do?
'''789th Order Dustman Bo Zu:''' You have my gratitude, adventurer─my thanks, my appreciation, my gratitude. The last time Ba Go's beauties escaped, they almost burned poor Bo Zu's nose off. Yes, yes, they did.
'''789th Order Dustman Bo Zu:''' Bo Zu thinks Ba Go has more beauties than he knows what to do with. Maybe these cores are better kept here─yes, kept safe and quiet in the hands of Bo Zu...

* Speak with [[789th Order Acolyte Ba Go]].

==Walkthrough==
After speaking to 789th Order Acolyte Ba Go, set three glowing coals by the 639th Order digger.

==In-game Description==
789th Order Dustman Bo Zu will not stand for enterprise or ingenuity - no, no, he will not.

Much to Bo Zu's chagrin, the 639th─a heretofore–hapless order which inhabits the neighboring tunnels─has invented a new digger with the potential to open prodigiously profitable veins of ore for the mining. In this kobold–eat–kobold world, fortune for the 639th would entrench the 789th even deeper into their current rut. At Bo Zu's urgent behest, speak with the acolyte Ba Go and acquire the means to dash the 639th's dreams of a better life.

Eager as always to send waves of chaos and destruction through the tunnels, Ba Go furnishes you with supplies that should be sufficient to end the 639th's hopes of productivity and promotions. Set glowing coals about the prototype digger and prepare to stand back.

The coals having been set, walk a safe distance away, then release the smart bombs at the ill–fated apparatus and enjoy the sparks.

Their digger no more, the 639th is destined for a return to humiliation and ignominy, a development which will certainly please Bo Zu. Return to the 789th Order Dig and relay the good tidings.

Bo Zu praises your efforts, pleased to hear that he and his compatriots will no longer be alone at the arse end of kobold society. You have little doubt that he will seek your aid the next time an overly ambitious order employs ingenuity and inventiveness to get ahead in this subterranean rat race.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''789th Order Dustman Bo Zu:''' Those cheats─tricksters, fraudsters, cheats! They must pay for this. Yes, yes, pay they must, and pay they will!
'''789th Order Dustman Bo Zu:''' Who are they? The 639th is who! Once, they were as devoted to idleness and indolence as us─yes, yes, they were. Now, they dig and dig. Dig for riches, and for the favor of Zo Ga!
'''789th Order Dustman Bo Zu:''' They use new rock eater to open walls, find metals so shiny they would blind Bo Zu's eyes. A shameless display of effort─brazen, flagrant, shameless! No, no, Bo Zu will not stand for this.
'''789th Order Dustman Bo Zu:''' I will teach them that hard work does not pay. I, meaning you. Yes, yes, you and Ba Go. The two of you will know what to do.

'''(Optional)'''
'''789th Order Dustman Bo Zu:''' I will teach the 639th that hard work does not pay. I, meaning you. Yes, yes, you and Ba Go. The two of you will know what to do.

===Speaking with 789th Order Acolyte Ba Go===
'''789th Order Acolyte Ba Go:''' Bo Zu would make 639th's new rock eater go boom? So it is with Bo Zu. No respect for the work of others─no esteem, no regard, no respect.
'''789th Order Acolyte Ba Go:''' Ba Go does not like Bo Zu─no, no, not in the least─but he does like making things go boom. Yesss, yesss, he does!
'''789th Order Acolyte Ba Go:''' Ba Go will give you the most potent of his beauties─yes, yes, he will. Place these fire rocks near the rock eater, and let Ba Go's beauties do the rest. Oh, and remember to stand back─far, far, back. Or maybe─mayhap, possibly, maybe─you want to go boom, too? Heaheahehaehahaha!

===Encountering the 639th Order Priest===
(639th Order Priest) Trespasser! Interloper, intruder, trespasser!

===Returning to 789th Order Dustman Bo Zu===
'''789th Order Dustman Bo Zu:''' The sound of the digger going boom woke me up from my nap. Never─no, never─have I been happier to have my rest disturbed─disrupted, interrupted, disturbed!
'''789th Order Dustman Bo Zu:''' Bo Zu bears no ill will for the 639th─no, no, none at all. I only wish for them to remember the merits of sluggardy─idleness, sloth, sluggardy. Is this so much to ask?

After speaking to 789th Order Acolyte Ba Go,Set three smoldering coals on the 596th Order supplies northeast of Camp Overlook. Release the smart bombs from a safe location. Retrieve a bomb core from the embers. Deliver the core to 789th Order Acolyte Ba Go.
==In-game Description==
789th Order Dustman Bo Zu is appalled-- outraged, shocked, appalled-- by a shameless display of industriousness and ambition.

With a disapproving scowl, Bo Zu relates the recent exploits of the 596th Order, a once-hapless band of kobolds who are recently climbing the ranks with a most contemptible work ethic. Seek the assistance of 789th Order Acolyte Ba Go, that you might deprive the self-righteous lot of the fruits of their labor and teach them the important lesson that hard work never pays.

The eccentric Ba Go, always eager to be a part of any plot that involves large-scale death and destruction, furnishes you with a few of his hot-tempered beauties and some coal to direct them to their targets. In return for his aid, he also demands that you recover at least one of the bomb cores from the resulting rubble after the act of sabotage is done. Head to the 596th's new dig northeast of Camp Overlook and place the coal per the acolyte's instructions.

You have successfully placed the coal on three small piles of supplies. Leave a wide enough berth, then release Ba Go's beauties to finish the job.

Ba Go's beauties have performed their task admirably, resulting in a firestorm of destruction of which the mad acolyte would be proud. Search the rubble for one of the bomb cores left over from the explosions.

You have successfully recovered the bomb core. Return to the 798th Order Dig and deliver it to to Ba Go.

Ba Go is pleased, both with the success of his lovingly crafted creations and your ability to recover the core he sought. Eager to return to his work, the acolyte dismisses you abruptly, asking you to report to Bo Zu.

Sloth and sluggardy have won the day, and there is much rejoicing from Bo Zu. the 789th must remain wary, however, as one never knows when another rogue kobold order might fall prey to the siren call of gainful effort and exertion. Should such a dark day descend, the dustman would call upon your aid anew...

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''789th Order Dustman Bo Zu:''' Those scoundrels—rogues, knaves, scoundrels! This is unforgivable! No, no, it will not be forgiven!

'''789th Order Dustman Bo Zu:''' >> Even now, they dig, dig day and night at a vein that affords ore by the tonze—more ore than 789th sees in a year! This shameless ambition must be stopped! Ba Go will know what to do. Yes, yes, you must seek Ba Go. Ba Go always knows. <<

===Speaking with 789th Order Acolyte Ba Go===
'''789th Order Acolyte Ba Go:''' Bo Zu would make big booms at the 596th Order Dig, send them plummeting down the ranks—diving, plunging, plummeting? Ba Go likes this plan. Yes, yes, likes it much.
'''789th Order Acolyte Ba Go:''' And you will help? Ba Go likes you too. Yes, Ba Go likes you so much he will lend you some of his beauties. And you will treat them gently—sweetly, kindly, gently.
'''789th Order Acolyte Ba Go:''' Ba Go will also give you smolder stones. Find something you want to go boom, place smolder stones close. Then step back. Yes, yes, stand clear. Release Ba Go's beauties, and savor the smell of chaos—relish, enjoy, savor.
'''789th Order Acolyte Ba Go:''' But Ba Go does not help you without a condition. No, no, after beauties go boom, you must enter the flames and come out with one of their cores.
'''789th Order Acolyte Ba Go:''' Ba Go needs all the cores he can get to build more beauties, make more things go boom. Yes, yes, make many, many booms! Heahehe! Heaahheahahaha!

'''596th Order Scout:''' >> Leave those alone! Yes, yes, do not touch!
Zo Ga will crush us, smash us, squash us! <<

'''596th Order Scout:''' >> We toiled long and hard for those!

===Delivering the core to 789th Order Acolyte Ba Go===

===Reporting to 789th Order Dustman Bo Zu===
'''789th Order Dustman Bo Zu:''' The adventurer has done well, well has she/he done. Blasts and bursts were heard all the way from here. Yes, yes, they were heard!
'''789th Order Dustman Bo Zu:''' The 596th will learn that hard work is futile—pointless, fruitless, futile. Well will they learn the lesson—yes, the lesson we learned long ago.
'''789th Order Dustman Bo Zu:''' Should they ever forget this lesson, you must return to play teacher—mentor, instructor, teacher. This you can do, yes? Yes, yes, Bo Zu can trust you.

==Walkthrough==
Search 639th Order pots for three high-grade electrum ore.
==In-game Description==
789th Order Dustman Bo Zu has an uncharacteristically eager glint in his eyes.

In one of the more shocking developments of the Seventh Astral Era, legendary laggard Bo Zu states a desire to turn over a new leaf and do some work for a change, though he would ask your aid in summoning the necessary resolve. To that end, travel to the Kobold Dig and fetch a handful of electrum from the 639th Order, that the dustman might witness firsthand the fruit of honest labor with his own eyes.

You have succeeded in "borrowing" a quantity of pristine electrum from the 639th's stock. Deliver it to Bo Zu, that it might serve to boost the dustman's morale.

To the surprise of absolutely no one, Bo Zu decides to appropriate the borrowed electrum in the 789th's name. Though the dustman's methods are questionable, no doubt it is the abuse and oppression he and his peers suffer at the hands of Za Go that has driven them to such desperate measures...

==Walkthrough==
After speaking to 789th Order Acolyte Ba Go, use the /soothe emote on pygmy bombs at Iron Lake.

==In-game Description==
789th Order Dustman Bo Zu has a friend in need of a helping hand-- preferably not Bo Zu's.

Bo Zu considers the 789th Order's acolyte, the eccentric Ba Go, one of his closest friends at the dig-- a feeling which does not appear to be in any way mutual. With Ba Go in trouble and seeking the assistance of anyone not named Bo Zu, go and offer what help you may.

From what sense you can make of Ba Go's ramblings, a few of his so-called beauties-- unhappy with their creator's treatment of them-- have flown the coop and now wreak havoc in the vicinity of Iron Lake. At Ba Go's behest, seek them out and /soothe their anger, that they might return home and trouble innocent bystanders no more.

Their volatile hearts calmed, the pygmy bombs have returned to the loving care of their creator. Return to Ba Go in triumph.

Eager to make amends, Ba Go is far too preoccupied doting on his beauties to express any sort of gratitude for your part in securing their safe return. Return to Bo Zu and inform him that the deed is done.

Bo Zu is deeply appreciative of your efforts on behalf of his friend Ba Go, who he still considers a friend despite the latter's utter disregard for the hapless dustman. Having demonstrated both generosity and competence, you can expect Bo Zu to call upon you again next time he or one of his peers is in need...

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''789th Order Dustman Bo Zu:''' Adventurer, how glad, glad I am to see you come. Ba Go is having a situation, a plight, a predicament, a situation—and what is trouble for Ba Go is trouble for us all. Bo Zu does not know much, but this Bo Zu knows. Yes, yes, I know.
'''789th Order Dustman Bo Zu:''' Bo Zu would like nothing more than to help his friend Ba Go—nothing, nothing at all. But Bo Zu's help is unwelcome—unsought, undesired, unwelcome. This makes Bo Zu sad, but what can Bo Zu do? Only send you—yes, yes Bo Zu will send you.

===Speaking with 789th Order Acolyte Ba Go===
'''789th Order Acolyte Ba Go:''' Bo Zu sent you to me, he did? You will not eat my beauties' fingers and make my workshop go boom-boom like that one did? No, no, you will not?
'''789th Order Acolyte Ba Go:''' Then maybe you can be of assistance—help, aid assistance. With some of my beauties did I have a disagreement—a spat, a fight, a disagreement. Fled my workshop, they did, fled to Iron Lake where they seethe and sizzle and speak ill of Ba Go.
'''789th Order Acolyte Ba Go:''' You will tell them Ba Go is sorry for what he said, yes? They are not getting fat—no, no—they are as slender, slim, and beautiful as ever. They will come back to Ba Go, yes? Ba Go implores of them—begs, beseeches, implores.

===Speaking with 789th Order Acolyte Ba Go===
'''789th Order Acolyte Ba Go:''' My beauties...my beauties return! Oh, glorious day! Ba Go was lost without you—wayward, astray, lost. Yes, yes, he was!
'''789th Order Acolyte Ba Go:''' Ba Go was a fool—a dolt, a dimwit, a fool! Foolish Ba Go will do anything you desire! Yes, yes, just promise you will never leave Ba Go's side ag—hm? Can't you see we are having a personal moment here, adventurer? Yes, yes, go back and bother Bo Zu.

===Reporting to 789th Order Dustman Bo Zu===
'''789th Order Dustman Bo Zu:''' <sigh> That is Ba Go for you—no eye for anything but booms and beauties. He may not call Bo Zu friend, but does this change Bo Zu's feelings? No, no, never.

* Speak with Hardiboiled in Solution Nine.
==Journal==
* Hildibrand is eager to take to the air.
* The irrepressible inspector is ready to take flight, with your eccentric group of investigators planning to rendezvous at the Cocktail dirigible landing. Or was it Yak's Tail?
* Detective Hardiboiled greets you at the Yak T'el landing, having already grilled the locals for eyewitness accounts. The cactuar criminal was seen flying down to the lower forests, and he suggests continuing your investigation in the largest settlement in that region: Mamook.
* Although momentarily distracted by Mamook's distinctive architectural style, Hardiboiled quickly returns to the matter at hand. You are to spread out and gather what leads you can on the cactuar's current whereabouts.
* Your questioning of Mamook's residents has gleaned several potentially useful nuggets of information. The detective will want to hear your findings.
* The others nod along with your report, having heard much the same stories. Now that you have confirmed the presence of the cactuar and learned of its destructive deeds, you decide to stake out the meteorites found alongside the road leading out of town in hopes of catching your quarry in the act.
* You linger by the first meteorite on the road, but the wheeler-riding cactuar is nowhere to be seen. The detective urges you on towards another space rock, further west into the Ja Tiika Heartland...
* There is no sign of the cactuar at the second meteorite either. You set your sights on the next pockmarked boulder off to the north.
* The delinquent cactuar at last makes an appearance, challenging you and your fellow “slowpokes” to catch him if you can. Hardiboiled sets off in pursuit and, with a little unasked-for assistance from Hildibrand, manages to overtake the succulent speedster. Humbled and in no mood for a fight, the cactuar spills his guts and reveals the location where he was to make a meteorite delivery to Keshkayi. The detective leaps at the chance to enact his vengeance on Carnelian, leaving you with no choice but to follow him southwest to the aforementioned cliffs.
* Hardiboiled gets the drop on Keshkayi and Carnelian, but Hildibrand's bumbling interference ensures that the detective's nemesis once more escapes the justice promised by a Molt Python Maximum. Already distressed by the loss of his beloved air-wheeler, a furious Hardiboiled makes it clear that he wants nothing more to do with the inspector. Hildibrand accepts this chastisement with good grace, urging you to stick with Hardiboiled for the duration of the case, even as he and Nashu continue with their own independent inquiries.
* As opposed to his feelings for the inspector, Hardiboiled assures you that he values your worldly expertise and proven mettle. He requests your continued assistance with the investigation, which is set to resume once he salvages more readable files from the damaged storage device...

Nashu Mhakaracca: I wish I had a shiny air-wheeler like the detective─I'd finally be able to keep up with the inspector!
-optional end
===Accepting the quest===

Hildibrand: Right, we shall find our way to this Cocktail dirigible landing. See you there!

Nashu Mhakaracca: I'm pretty sure it was “Yak's Tail,” Inspector...
-quest accepted

===Speak with Hardiboiled at the dirigible landing in Yak'Tel.===
-optional start
Hildibrand: That was my first time aboard a dirigible. 'Tis not so different from an airship...if said airship had jettisoned its own means of propulsion.

Nashu Mhakaracca: Sailing through the air is a lovely way to travel!
-optional end

Hardiboiled: Ah, you made it. Even this jaded old gumshoe had to appreciate that view coming in over the treetops...
Hardiboiled: Anyway, I talked to the locals while waiting for you lot to arrive, and one fella had seen Mister Cactuar flying down to the lower forests.
Hardiboiled: I'm told the biggest place out that way is a settlement called “Mamook,” so that'll be our next destination. Let's head over there, walk the streets, ask some questions...you know, the usual.

Hildibrand: Very good, Detective, but what's become of your wondrous wheeler?

Hardiboiled: Night Stallion would draw more attention than I'd like. I'll use the autopilot function to call him if I need him, but otherwise I'll make do with my own two feet.

===Speak with Hardiboiled.===
-optional start
Hildibrand: Such a dense proliferation of forest giants! I am reminded of the Twelveswood.

Nashu Mhakaracca: Cor, it's awfully dark here beneath the canopy...
-optional end

Hardiboiled: That must be Mamook. They build things different down here, huh?
Hardiboiled: But we ain't got time to admire the architecture. Spread out, and find someone who's clapped eyes on that cactuar.

===Gather information in Mamook.===
-optional start
Hardiboiled: He'd be spiky. And green. Riding a strange flying machine...

Hildibrand: I slipped on that banana peel and almost went tail over teakettle. Could this have been a devious trap laid by our quarry...?

Nashu Mhakaracca: That banana peel is almost as sparkly as the inspector was.
-optional end

Liinel Ja: Why, yes, I ''did'' see an unusual creature riding a strange vehicle through the forest at breakneck speeds.
Liinel Ja: The vehicle's terrible noise is what first drew my attention, followed by the incomprehensible yelling of its pilot. Yet the sight of this posturing man-plant was so absurd I found myself more bemused than frightened.
-optional start
Liinel Ja: As I said, the vehicle's racket and its pilot's yelling startled me, but I could never be scared of something so...ridiculous.
-optional end

Meerel Ja: Yes, I've encountered the fiend you describe. The forest has its share of fantastical creatures, but this one was undeniably out of place.
Meerel Ja: I observed it smashing one of the giant meteorites with a club, then racing away with the broken pieces. Make of that what you will...
-optional start
Meerel Ja: I don't know why the fiend was breaking meteorites or what it intended to do with the pieces, and I think I'd prefer to keep it that way.
-optional end

Bakool Ja: Ah, the subject of recent gossip. I crossed paths with the creature myself, and it was indeed odd, but the machine it rode upon was the true wonder.
Bakool Ja: He pulled up alongside me and my wivre, challenged us to a race, then zoomed off with astounding swiftness. If you're planning to catch that fiend, you'll need an equally miraculous mount.
-optional start
Bakool Ja: Such incredible speed. My wivre might as well have been standing still...

-cutscene start
Hardiboiled: So, what's the rap?
:Player speaks to Hardiboiled.
Hildibrand: The testimonies I gathered were very much the same. There is a cactuar racing around out there, that much can be certain.

Hardiboiled: But if he's making stops to bag meteorite fragments, then this ain't no simple joyride.
Hardiboiled: Talk to me, [Forename]. Somethin' about those rocks I oughta know?
:Player nods and speaks to Hardiboiled.
Hardiboiled: Some kinda special aetheric radiation, eh? We haven't pieced together Keshkayi's big plan yet, but he seems real interested in those space stones.
Hardiboiled: Which means we've got a good chance of finding his spiky goon by staking out the spots where the meteorites are. If we nab the cactuar, we can make him lead us to the researcher. And to Carnelian.
Hardiboiled: When I say “us,” I mean me and Night Stallion, of course. Once we find him, the rest of you won't be giving chase without an air-wheeler.

Hildibrand: I need no such contrivance. These legs have been conditioned by an intensive chocobo-bearing exercise regimen!

Hardiboiled: ...Well, good luck to 'em. Still think he's a weak-willed punk, but I can't deny that uncanny body of his is made of sterner stuff.
Hardiboiled: Let's get on with it, then. I hear there's a few good-sized meteorites alongside the road that leads out of town. We'll start at the near end and hope the mook puts in an appearance.

===Survey the designated location.===

Hildibrand: F-Fancy meeting you here! I, too, deduced that this may very well be the scene of our criminal's next crime...

Nashu Mhakaracca: Who knew meteorites were so big? Or bumpy?

Hardiboiled: Hmph. Is that clumsy oaf trying to hide...?
-optional end
:Player surveys the area from the vantage point.
Hardiboiled: No wheeler-riding cactuar around here. Let's move on.
Hardiboiled: Ugh, that idiot inspector. Took off like he had the case all sewn up, but running fast didn't find him any leads, did it? And here I thought he was onto something.

Hildibrand: Th-That way, Nashu! I think I may be onto something!

===Survey the designated location.===
-optional start
Hildibrand: If you could endure but a little while longer, Nashu.

Nashu Mhakaracca: Is it almost time to eat?

Hardiboiled: Is that dolt trying to keep outta sight or not...?
-optional end

:Player surveys the area from the vantage point.

Hardiboiled: No sign of him here, either. On to the next meteorite.

Hildibrand: I detect a hint of criminality...in that direction! Onwards, Nashu! We mustn't let the detective beat us to the punch!

Spike: Look out and stand aside─or it's a thousand needles in your hide! Make way for the unmatchable, uncatchable Spike!
Spike: This one looks ripe for the smashing...

Hardiboiled: Hold it right there. I'm gonna need you to hop off that air-wheeler...

Spike: Huh? Ah...you must be the blowhards I was warned about!
Spike: Think you can give orders to the succulent speedster? My ride is maxed out with black market mods, and there ain't ''no one'' faster!
Spike: Keep up if you can, slowpokes!

Hardiboiled: If that's the way it's gotta be... Challenge accepted.
Hardiboiled: To me, Night Stallion! It's time to burn rubber!

Hildibrand: I'm right behind you!

Nashu Mhakaracca: And I'm right behind you, Inspector!

Spike: Yeaaaaaahhh!

Hardiboiled: Dammit, the Stallion's at full gallop and I'm still trailing!

Hildibrand: 'Twould seem you require my assistance after all.

Hardiboiled: What th─ You caught up to me ''on foot''!?
Hardiboiled: Fine. Change of plans...
Hardiboiled: Where's my damn Python!?

Hildibrand: I'll just tweak the weapon's elemental settings like so...
Hildibrand: With you steering and me providing the thrust, that fiend will soon learn a harsh lesson!
Hildibrand: Nothing outruns a fired-up Manderville Man!

Hardiboiled: Gaaaaaahhhhhh!

Spike: Are they actually ''gainin'' on me!?
Spike: Come on, then! I feel the needle for speed!

Hildibrand: We did it! Victory is ours!

Spike: ...I can't believe it. My undefeated record. My legendary win streak. It's over.
Spike: And yet...I feel strangely content.
Spike: Enough, you win. Just hand me over to the coppers and be done with it.

Hardiboiled: So the researcher forced you to work for him, like he did with the other fiends.

Spike: That's right. Told me to smash and grab the meteorites from the forest, but not what he wanted 'em for.

Hardiboiled: All this way to nab some delinquent goon and no leads on Keshkayi or Carnelian to show for it...
Hardiboiled: Not to mention my beautiful ride getting trashed! That one's on you, Hildibrand!

Hildibrand: Perhaps we can try running together next time!

Spike: Oh, if you're lookin' for Keshkayi, I know exactly where he'll be: waitin' for my meteorite delivery over by the cliffs southwest of here.

Hardiboiled: Why didn't you say that sooner!? I bet Carnelian is there with him!
Hardiboiled: He won't escape me this time...

Hildibrand: I leave this criminal cactuar in your custody. Fiendish appearance aside, 'tis a man's soul within, so please treat him accordingly.
Hildibrand: Now, let us follow the detective to these cliffs, shall we?
Hildibrand: I must ensure these villains are served a gentleman's justice!

Scheming Researcher@Keshkayi: He's late. We must assume something went wrong.
Scheming Researcher@Keshkayi: These meteorites will provide the perfect energy source, and I would prefer to harvest a surplus...but it is too great a risk to linger here.

Hardiboiled: Freeze, mage. You so much as twitch your lips and I'll light you up.

Scheming Researcher@Keshkayi: No! I've worked too hard to give up now!

Carnelian (NPC)@Carnelian: He's getting away...

Hardiboiled: He'll keep. I've got the one I want.
Hardiboiled: But don't think I'm taking you in just so you can escape. Never again...

Hildibrand: Murder is not the answer, Detective!
:Hildibrand launches himself at Carnelian. Carnelian turns into a slime, with Hildibrand getting stuck in him.
Hildibrand: <cough> <cough>
:Carnelian launches Hildibrand out at Hardiboiled and turns back into his elezen form.
Hildibrand: Where─ <cough> Where did Carnelian go...?

Carnelian (NPC)@Carnelian: You almost had me...if not for this bumbling fool you tolerate. Soft as ever.

:Carnelian teleports away.
Hardiboiled: You and me are done, Hildibrand. Stay out of my way.

Hildibrand: My recent inadequacies as an inspector appear to have earned the detective's ire...
Hildibrand: 'Twas you he turned to for assistance with this case, [Forename]. It is only fitting that you remain at his side for the duration.
Hildibrand: Meanwhile, Nashu and I shall persist with our independent inquiries!

Hardiboiled: For the love of─ I see you skulking over there, soft-boiled.

Hildibrand: Isn't this a delightful spot of serendipity! We were simply following the villain's trail and look how we've all run into each other! Completely by chance.
Hildibrand: W-Well, uh, we were only passing through after all. We shall apprehend that masked mastermind with our own tried-and-true methodology, you shall see!

:Hildibrand and Nashu run off.

Hardiboiled: [Forename], I want you on the case with me from here on out. When it comes to a proper guide beyond the dome─as well as being tougher than yours truly─no one else fits the bill.
Hardiboiled: You might need to cool your heels for a bit while I work on salvaging more data, but Hardiboiled always gets his files in the end. See you around.

System: Meanwhile, elsewhere...

Scheming Researcher@Keshkayi: Hm hm hm hm...
Scheming Researcher@Keshkayi: Ahahahahaha! At long last, my scheme is come to fruition!
Scheming Researcher@Keshkayi: No longer must I endure the company of incompetent colleagues. All is in readiness. The replication of my brilliant mind is at hand!
Scheming Researcher@Keshkayi: Never again will I be known as “The Kanilokka Corpus's Second Best”! My name shall ring across the lands, carried far and wide by an army of unrivaled geniuses!

Carnelian (NPC)@Carnelian: Pfft...

Scheming Researcher@Keshkayi: Something amusing?

==Steps==
* Speak with [[Hardiboiled]].
* Use the distress beacon at the designated location in the ruins of old Alexandria and obtain a superconductor coil from a defective sentry.
* Deliver the {{game icon|Superconductor Coil|superconductor coil}} to [[Monom]] in Solution Nine.
* Search for Hardiboiled.
* Speak with [[Hildibrand]].
==Journal==
* Hardiboiled casts a resolute shadow beneath the unrelenting glare of True Vue's neon illumination.
* Inspector's Log: The Case of the Fiendish Fugitives continues! Detective Hardiboiled's latest lead led us beyond the dome in pursuit of a vandal wolfman. It was there, in a charmingly rustic town beset by troubles, that an unfortunate misunderstanding saw my loyal assistant arrested on suspicion of explosive mayhem. Naturally, I would not rest until her good name was cleared! Working closely with the detective, we apprehended the true perpetrator and freed the deeply traumatized Nashu from her unjust confinement. 'Tis a pity, though, that not all ended happily ever after: Carnelian, a dastardly villain from Hardiboiled's past, eluded our grasp. His involvement in the greater scheme has been made abundantly apparent, and I, Hildibrand, agent of enquiry, will be ready the next time the Crime King rears his metamorphic head! 　　　　　　　　　　　　*　*　* Having extracted additional information from the salvaged storage device, Hardiboiled briefs you on yet another monster-fied criminal. This particular ne'er-do-well now inhabits the body of a cactuar and has a well-documented record for operating air-wheelers with reckless abandon. According to Hildibrand, a speedy succulent matching the description was witnessed streaking southwards upon some flying contraption, and Hardiboiled concludes that catching said fugitive will be impossible on foot. It would seem a trip to the nearby custom air-wheeler shop is in order...
* Hardiboiled wishes to retrieve his personal air-wheeler from Monom's care, but the mechanic is doubtful the neglected vehicle will run without replacing a number of key parts. The detective puts you in charge of obtaining the superconductor coil, a task which should be made easier with the help of a handy gadget supplied by Monom. Once in the western district of the old Alexandria ruins, you are to set off the distress signal, and salvage the component from any defective sentries that respond.
* Moments after you trigger the signal, you are assaulted by a wheeler-mounted soldier. One short battle later and you have the part you need to deliver into Monom's waiting hands.
* The mechanic seems satisfied with the scavenged coil, but also perplexed by Hardiboiled's failure to return from what should have been a routine shopping trip. Certain that a simple battery is readily available, he sends you off to the Nexus Arcade to search for your tardy companions.
* An irritated Hardiboiled explains how Nashu and the inspector suddenly wandered off, leaving him alone with his purchased battery. You begin searching for them together, and find the impulsive pair enjoying an unexpected reunion with a member of the Gentle Dead Men. At Hildibrand's urging, the zombie proceeds to tell you of his efforts to recruit the Yuweyawata undead, and from this account you learn the name of the sole surviving researcher and mastermind behind the fiendish fugitives' escapades: Keshkayi. Hardiboiled heads back to Monom's shop, promising to soon return upon his newly repaired air-wheeler.
* It is not long before Hardiboiled comes racing back atop the custom-built “Night Stallion,” much to the amazed delight of your comrades. In response to a simple question from Nashu, the detective launches into an overly descriptive story of how he finally took down the Crime King, and subsequently lost his boiling need for speed. With Carnelian back on the streets, however, Hardiboiled is eager to ride again.

===Accepting the quest===
-cutscene start
Hardiboiled: [Forename]. I was hoping you'd drop by...
Hardiboiled: It took a bit of doing, but I was able to widen the crack I made in that storage device and yank out a couple new scraps of data.
Hardiboiled: The first file just so happened to be a record of Carnelian's procedure. Seems the bastard's soul was poured into one of those “clot” type monsters.
Hardiboiled: They've got an annoying talent for mimicking shapes and faces, which is exactly what Carnelian took advantage of when he tricked us with his fake Kemakka.

Hildibrand: Never fear, Inspector Hildibrand is here!

Hardiboiled: The other file I pulled had details on yet another monster-fied criminal.
Hardiboiled: This mook was nabbed for repeated vehicular violations─riding his air-wheeler too fast, making reckless maneuvers endangering others, that sort of thing. According to the data, he's running around in the body of a cactuar now.
Hardiboiled: Judging by what we've seen of that researcher's schemes, he'll have dispatched the prickly speed demon somewhere outside the dome. But where...?

Hildibrand: Rejoice, my good detective. For I, Hildibrand, agent of enquiry, come bearing the very direction you seek!
Hildibrand: I have it straight from the mouth of the ''real'' Kemakka that an ambulatory cactus piloting a flying contraption was supposedly observed streaking through the sky on a southerly bearing.
Hildibrand: Alas, despite hastening to confirm this sighting, our intrepid sheriff arrived too late to see the needle-covered individual in question. The report was summarily dismissed as fanciful imaginings of inebriated townsfolk.
Hildibrand: The insistent chirp of veteran instinct nonetheless impelled me to investigate! Thus did my faithful assistant and I venture further south to question the colorful crowds of Toolly-yodel.

Nashu Mhakaracca: Tuliyollal!

Hildibrand: Ahem, y-yes, there to find sober witnesses eager to tell of an airborne succulent!

Nashu Mhakaracca: They said it was moving at an incredible pace, sat astride a vehicle like the ones the “mechanical invaders” had ridden. It was last seen zipping past a dirigible before vanishing into the clouds to the south...

Hardiboiled: Alexandria's soldiers ride on air-wheelers, so unless there's another flying cactuar out there somewhere, I think we have our man. Good work!
Hardiboiled: Almost ''too'' good, in fact...
Hardiboiled: Over there! Is that a new case I spy!?
Hardiboiled: Hardly had to bait the hook. They're the real deal, alright... Although come to think of it, I don't know why anyone would bother impersonating either of 'em to begin with.
Hardiboiled: At least the lead seems solid enough. But if we're serious about catching this guy, we'll need an air-wheeler of our own. Come on─there's a shop nearby that does custom jobs.

Nashu Mhakaracca: Oh, I could go for a nice bowl of custard!

Monom: Well, well, look who the wind blew in.

Hardiboiled: Monom. I've come for my steed.

Monom: That battered old scrap heap? It's been rustin' on my garage floor so long, I doubt it could manage a slow trot, let alone a gallop.
Monom: Happy to give it a tune-up if ye've credits to burn, but I'll need ye to supply some parts. A new high-voltage battery and superconductor coil at a minimum.

Hardiboiled: The chronometer's ticking. I'll see if I can't get my hands on a battery, but can I ask you to track down the coil?
Hardiboiled: These soft-boiled dopes wouldn't know a suspension spring from an anti-gravity gimbal, but ''you'' I can trust to find the right part without cracking under the pressure.

Question: What will you say?

> I'm on it, Detective.
> Got my number, do you?
Hardiboiled: Just tellin' it like it is. I know a tough egg when I see one...
---

Monom: Hardiboiled seems desperate to get his air-wheeler up and running, so I'll give ye a tip. Ye want a coil quick-like, then salvaging the rides of defective sentries is yer best bet.
Monom: I'll even lend ye this handy gadget to help ye out. Set off the distress signal on the west side of old Alexandria, and ye'll soon have some murderous mechanical company to dismantle for parts.

Hardiboiled: I'll take these two along with me on the battery hunt. Good luck out there.

===Use the distress beacon at the designated location in the ruins of old Alexandria and obtain a superconductor coil from a defective sentry.===

Monom: That gizmo I gave ye will broadcast a distress signal that'll attract malfunctioning soldiers. Far as I know, some old units still wander around the west side of old Alexandria─try setting it off there.
-optional end

Monom: Well? Get yer hands on a coil?
:Player hands over {{game icon|Superconductor Coil}}.
Monom: Aye, that should do the trick. Now where did yer mates run off to...? Can't be that hard to find a store what sells batteries.
Monom: Ye should probably head over to the Nexus Arcade and see what's keepin' them.

===Search for Hardiboiled.===
-optional start
Monom: Hardiboiled's takin' his sweet time buyin' a battery. Funny, he don't seem the type to window shop...
-optional end

Hardiboiled: [Forename]. Any trouble picking up that coil? Nothing you couldn't handle, I'll wager.
Hardiboiled: As for the battery, I bought one easily enough... The problem was convincing the inspector and his gal to stick around after he “caught a whiff of tantalizing familiarity.”
Hardiboiled: Long story short, they wandered off and haven't come back. S'pose we ought to go look for them, eh?

-cutscene start
Hardiboiled: I-Is that a corpse? A ''smiling'' corpse?

Hildibrand: Hah hah hah, you needn't fret, Detective. This dapper zombie is an old acquaintance of mine.

Gentle Dead Man: Allow me to introduce myself, good sir. I am a proud member of the Gentle Dead Men and disciple of Master Zombibrand.
Gentle Dead Man: I have been on the road, seeking out new recruits for our merry moldering band. Said search is what brought me here, and into the midst of this unexpected─yet most welcome─reunion.

Hardiboiled: I don't usually hold with necromancy, but he seems harmless enough... So, uh, if you're done catching up, we've got a case to work on.

Hildibrand: In actual fact, our conversation was almost entirely case-adjacent! Employing his nose for festering fellows, this gentlezombie traced the stench of necromantic decay to the very facility in which I once slumbered...

Gentle Dead Man: Yes, I became fast friends with one of the reanimated researchers there. During the process of getting to know each other, he spoke briefly of the only person left alive after the “incident.”
Gentle Dead Man: According to my new charnel chum, all the lab workers perished when an accident resulted in the leakage of a highly toxic substance. All, that is, save for a single man who habitually wore a protective gas mask.
Gentle Dead Man: Keshkayi is his name. He was second-in-charge after the overseer himself, yet disdained by his peers as a “condescending know-it-all.”
Gentle Dead Man: They did, however, grudgingly recognize his passion for his work. Even after devoting a full day to official experiments, he would pour his remaining time and energy into some mysterious side project.

Hardiboiled: And he was the sole surviving researcher, you say? Sounds like we finally have a name for our mastermind.
Hardiboiled: Courtesy of the shambling undead, no less. No matter how many years I do this job... Well, thanks for that.

Gentle Dead Man: Glad to be of service. Now, if you'll excuse me, my new recruit and I have a café tour planned!

Hardiboiled: So, that fella was an honest-to-gods walking corpse, huh? I've met weird folks in my line of work, but do you always keep company with such oddballs...?
Hardiboiled: Ah, that was out of line. It's just...I reckon there are forces in this world you're better off not messing with.
Hardiboiled: Anyway, let me take these parts back to Monom and get my wheeler repaired.
Hardiboiled: Shouldn't take too long. I'll ride him back here to make sure he's running smoothly, and you can see the magnificent beast in all his glory.

Hildibrand: Detective Hardiboiled seemed somewhat nervous. Excited to reclaim his pride and joy, perhaps?

-cutscene start
Nashu Mhakaracca: Cor, would you look at that!

Hardiboiled: What do you think, [Forename]? I call him Night Stallion. He's a custom job built for yours truly, and has far too much horsepower for the average mook to handle.
Hardiboiled: Anti-gravity capabilities are standard, but when it comes to ground speed, he's been tweaked to achieve the highest possible performance. The trick is to install quick-heating motor coils.
Hardiboiled: But won't the increased heat compromise the magnetic field's integrity, you ask? While that's a valid concern, a hotter drivetrain responds completely differently when you open up the throttle and─
Hardiboiled: You. Get those filthy hands off my ride.

Hildibrand: I merely thought to enhance your beloved steed with a touch of Salamanderville...

Nashu Mhakaracca: So you've had this amazing machine this whole time? Why haven't you been riding it until now?

Hardiboiled: Ah, so fresh-faced and innocent... The spitting image of my assistant.

:Flashback begins.

Hardiboiled@Hardiboiled (narrating): I'll never forget the day I hung up my spurs. It was right after I'd caught Carnelian...
Hardiboiled@Hardiboiled (narrating): I'd been simmering in thoughts of vengeance, fit to burst my shell at any moment.
Hardiboiled: The Big House is too good for the likes of the Crime King. See you in hell, Your Majesty...

Carnelian (NPC)@Carnelian: Should've pulled the trigger when you had the chance. You've gone soft, Hardiboiled.

Hildibrand: This flashback exceeds the legal length!

Nashu Mhakaracca: Laced with illicit embellishments, no doubt!

> Wrap it up, gumshoe.

:Flashback ends.
Hardiboiled: ...To cut to the chase, my assistant was avenged. Slingin' the Crime King into the slammer took me off the boil, and riding cold just ain't my style.
Hardiboiled: But now that Carnelian's on the streets again, it's time for me to get back in the saddle.
Hardiboiled: They were saying that cactuar punk flew over Tooly-whatever, then blew past a dirigible on his way south, right? What kinda territory are we lookin' at?
Hardiboiled: Lots of big trees, are there? Then let's make this Yak T'el's dirigible landing our starting point. I'll take Night Stallion and meet you there.

==Journal==
* Where it concerns his assistant's well-being, not even Inspector Hildibrand can maintain his customary aplomb.
* Nashu's detainment on suspicion of being the vandal has made Hildibrand all the more determined to catch the true criminal. In the course of his inquiries, the inspector was able to learn that a wolflike fiend has been sighted near Luwateninyawawsa, and thus do you make for the settlement in hopes of finding a lead.
* Traversing the red plains of Shaaloani, you and your companions soon arrive at Luwateninyawawsa. This time, Hardiboiled suggests questioning the locals together, and bids you indicate when you are ready to begin.
* At your word, you and your companions proceed into Luwateninyawawsa. With some luck, the residents will have information leading to your lupine fugitive. ※You must be accompanied by Hardiboiled and Hildibrand to complete this task. Speak with either of them again should you become separated.
* You speak with a farmer who claims to have witnessed a wolflike fiend making off with a sack of vegetables, indicating that your fugitive has been hungry. Making note of this finding, you continue making your way through Luwateninyawawsa.
* The second person you approach has not seen a wolf-fiend, but rather some manner of adorable, squealing creature. While Hardiboiled has heard about such a beast on True Vue, he believes it is unrelated to your investigation, and you look for other residents to question.
* You meet a woman who has caught sight of a wolflike fiend multiple times, in lunyucaua'pya territory to the south of the settlement. Hardiboiled is convinced that the fugitive must be hiding there, and you waste no time setting forth to investigate.
* You come to the Yawtanane Grasslands, the general location of the sighting, but the cauahealoa is not immediately in evidence. At Hardiboiled's bidding, you split up to scour the area for traces of the fugitive.
* Taking yourself around the grasslands, you manage to find a set of clues: a sack of produce, an empty liquor bottle, and─most telling of all─a piece of paper appearing to bear diary entries written by the vandal. Next to the paper was an oglop, but you set that detail aside for now as you hurry to present your discoveries to Hardiboiled.
* A review of the diary entries confirms that, like the thieving eyeclops, the vandalizing cauahealoa indeed serves the mysterious researcher. The fugitive has now been instructed to “put on a bigger show,” to which end the mastermind will provide him with barrels of ceruleum. When Hildibrand reiterates his opposition to violence ahead of a potential confrontation, Hardiboiled reveals his tragic past as a cautionary tale. He, too, once had an assistant, but she was killed by the Crime King when he lowered his guard in a moment of softness. The warning duly given, you and your companions next head to Hhusatahwi, there to alert Kemakka and his Dustwatch to the fugitive's intent.
* When you alert Kemakka to the impending act of destruction, he reveals that the vandal has just announced the train to be the target. The sheriff departs to round up his officers, during which time your party hurries ahead to the station. There, you at last come face-to-face with the vandalizing cauahealoa, who threatens to ignite the barrels of ceruleum placed before the engine. However, the fiend carelessly sets itself ablaze instead, and it takes an inspired moment of collaboration between Hildibrand and Hardiboiled to stop the panicked creature from hurtling straight into the explosive fuel. Kemakka then arrives and has his men take the fugitive into custody, but it is revealed that the sheriff is in fact an impostor, with the Crime King, Carnelian, having assumed his likeness. The villain manages to flee the scene─but not before ominously declaring that the commotion has served its purpose...
* Back at Dustwatch headquarters in Hhusatahwi, Kemakka has scarcely released Nashu from her cell when one of his officers bursts in with dire news: a large shipment of ceruleum has been stolen from Sheshenewezi, with the thieves striking while the watch's eyes were on the train station. Thus do you discover the researcher's true target, albeit too late. Kemakka promises to conduct a thorough investigation in Shaaloani, and having resolved the situation as it stands, you and your companions make your way back to the bright lights of True Vue in Solution Nine.
* With the researcher's grand design and identity still unknown, Hardiboiled says that he will continue working to extract more data from the storage device. He bids you check in from time to time, and you brace yourself for when next the Case of the Fiendish Fugitives resumes.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
'''Hildibrand:''' I cannot bear to imagine sweet, innocent Nashu behind bars. We must apprehend the true criminal and secure her release posthaste!

'''Hardiboiled:''' “Sweet” and “innocent” ain't words I'd use to describe a bomb-toting dame, but setting that aside...we know who we're after. We just need to track 'em down.

'''Hildibrand:''' A number of residents report having sighted an unusual wolflike fiend. Apparently, it has appeared near a settlement called Lure-them-in-your-trousers.

'''Hardiboiled:''' It's Luwateninyawowza. You need to clean the wax out of your ears.
'''Hardiboiled:''' Y-Yeah, that's what I meant... Luwateninya''wawsa''. C'mon, let's see what we can find out there.

===Optional Dialogue===
'''Hildibrand:''' Hm? You are surprised that I have already changed into fresh attire? I fortuitously had a spare set on hand. Insofar as it is possible, one must ever maintain a gentlemanly and dignified appearance!

===Speak with Hardiboiled===
'''Hardiboiled:''' Right, let's question the locals about wolfman sightings. Should be straightforward enough, so we'll stay together this time. Just say the word and we'll get started.

===Optional Dialogue===
'''Hildibrand:''' Luwateninya''wowsers''! Nothing to it!

===Speak with Hardiboiled and have him accompany you===
'''Hardiboiled:''' Ready? Then lead the way.

'''Q:''' What will you do?

> Talk.
> Part ways.
> Nothing.

< Talk. >
'''Hardiboiled:''' The swirling sands of a dust storm may hide the truth, but there's nothing my thousand-yalm stare can't pierce.

'''Hildibrand:''' Even now, poor Nashu must be trembling in her cell... We must expedite her liberation!

< Part ways. >

'''System:''' Are you sure you wish to part ways with your companions?

'''Hardiboiled:''' You're taking off? Fine, do what you gotta do. We'll be waiting back where we started.

'''Hildibrand:''' You have urgent business? Very well, but please do not take overlong. Nashu is doubtless crying out for deliverance!

'''Hardiboiled:''' There you are. Let's get back to business.

'''Hildibrand:''' We've awaited your return! Come, let us continue the task of questioning the locals.

< ''Discuss the oven. (optional)'' >

'''Hardiboiled:''' Wood ovens, eh? Unheard of in Solution Nine. We do all our cooking with electrope appliances.
'''Hardiboiled:''' That said, the smoke might give eggs a nice flavor... I'll have to look into it when I get the chance.

'''Hildibrand:''' Mother used to roast whole myotragus in a giant oven. She was partial to the billies for the flavor, but I found them a little tough. That has no bearing on my own toughness, mind you!

'''System:''' You must be accompanied by Hardiboiled and Hildibrand, and have them at your side in order to proceed with quest objectives.
'''System:''' Your companions have yet to arrive. Be sure they are at your side before attempting to continue.

===Gather information in Luwateninyawawsa while Hardiboiled and Hildibrand are accompanying you===
'''Rugged Farmer:''' I saw it alright─a wolflike fiend I'd never seen before. It made off with a sack of vegetables we'd just harvested.

'''Hildibrand:''' 'Twould seem our fugitive was famished. Being a wolf, however, would it not hunt for its own food?

'''Hardiboiled:''' Whatever it is now, it used to be a man. Wouldn't be odd if it still ate like one.
'''Hardiboiled:''' And if it isn't keen on hunting, it'd likely keep close to settlements for its meals.

===Optional Dialogue===
'''Rugged Farmer:''' Now that you lot mention it, there was something man-like about the fiend. The way it looked around to see if the coast was clear, for example.

< ''Discuss the residences. (optional)'' >

'''Hardiboiled:''' You can see the resemblance between the homes here and those in the outskirts.
'''Hardiboiled:''' Was a real surprise when our worlds merged thirty years ago. I was just a greenhorn then, and she was still─ ...Never mind.

'''Hildibrand:''' The motif on these dwellings is simple yet elegant. I expect Father would appreciate their artistry.
'''Hildibrand:''' H-He isn't here, is he? <gulp>

===Gather information in Luwateninyawawsa while Hardiboiled and Hildibrand are accompanying you===
'''Kindly Villager (without retinue):''' What's taking him so long...?

'''Kindly Villager:''' What I saw wasn't a wolf-fiend, but an adorable little critter. It kept squealing at me, as if it was trying to say something.

'''Hildibrand:''' Oho, I daresay this is a promising new lead!
'''Hildibrand:''' I have it! This creature is a minion of the vandalous wolfman!

'''Hardiboiled:''' <sigh> You and your soft-boiled guesses. I'd heard about strange squealing critters on True Vue, but I doubt it has anything to do with our case.

===Optional Dialogue===
'''Kindly Villager:''' A friend of mine went to take a look at the squealing critter, but he's been gone for quite a while now. I wonder if he's having trouble finding it...

===Gather more information in Luwateninyawawsa while Hardiboiled and Hildibrand are accompanying you===
'''Hardy Woman (without retinue):''' This ought to be enough.

'''Hardy Woman:''' The wolflike fiend? I've seen it south of here. Most folk avoid the area because it's lunyucaua'pya territory, but I go there to gather cactus.
'''Hardy Woman:''' And the past few times I did, I saw the creature heading towards the gorge. Even the lunyucaua'pyas give it a wide berth, so it must be dangerous indeed.

'''Hardiboiled:''' Our fugitive might be holed up in that gorge. C'mon, let's go take a look.

===Optional Dialogue===
'''Hardy Woman:''' It's no ordinary fiend that can frighten lunyucaua'pyas. If you're tracking it, you'd best take care.

'''Hildibrand:''' Is that a linear-cow-pier...?

===Speak with Hardiboiled===
'''Hardiboiled:''' The cauahealoa doesn't seem to be here right now, but this is definitely where it lays its head. I can feel it.
'''Hardiboiled:''' Let's split up and search for clues. If you turn up anything, you come and tell me.

===Optional Dialogue===
'''Hildibrand:''' Oh my, what a winsome critter you are...

'''Vocal Varmint:''' <squeal> <squeal>

'''Hardiboiled:''' Had a thirst, did we...?

===Search for clues===
'''System:''' The sack is laden with vegetables─likely those which the fugitive took from Luwateninyawawsa.
'''System:''' The liquor bottle has long since been drained to the last drop. Perhaps it was purloined by the fugitive...
'''System:''' Crude words have been scrawled on the piece of paper. An oglop loiters nearby, as if regarding the paper and you...
'''System:''' The oglop scurries off, leaving you to devote your attention to the paper, which appears to contain diary entries written by the fugitive.
'''System:''' There do not appear to be any more clues in the vicinity. Hardiboiled will want to take stock of your discoveries...

===Optional Dialogue===
'''Hildibrand:''' <squeal> <squeal>

===Deliver the clues to Hardiboiled===
'''Hardiboiled:''' I found this empty liquor bottle. What about you?
'''Hardiboiled:''' Good work, ''Forename''. The bottles and the produce must've been taken from Luwateninyawawsa. As for the piece of paper...

===Cutscene===
'''Hardiboiled:''' These are diary entries alright. I'll read them out.
'''Hardiboiled:''' (Vandal's Diary) “Another good day's destruction. I reduced the barn to rubble in moments, well before anyone was the wiser. My newfound strength is truly astounding.
'''Hardiboiled:''' (Vandal's Diary) “The researcher contacted me. He wants me to put on a bigger show, and will provide barrels of ceruleum for the job. This is going to be my tour de force.”
'''Hardiboiled:''' So it's as we suspected. Like the thieving eyeclops, the vandalizing cauahealoa is working for the researcher.

'''Hildibrand:''' But I must say, for him to leave incriminating evidence out in the open where enterprising agents of enquiry can easily find is rather careless, is it not?

'''Hardiboiled:''' When he was apprehended as a man, he'd left a diary of his misdeeds lying around. Served as incontrovertible proof of his guilt. To do it again, knowing full well how it led to his downfall...perhaps he has some sort of clever design. Or perhaps...
'''Hardiboiled:''' He's just an idiot.

'''Hildibrand:''' At any rate, if our fugitive has barrels of ceruleum at his disposal, then we must exercise the utmost caution. The tiniest spark could cause an explosion to dwarf even Nashu's Delights, so I ask that you refrain from using your gun.

'''Hardiboiled:''' My gun's more versatile than you think.
'''Hardiboiled:''' It's capable of converting the lightning it absorbs to other kinds of energy. With the flick of a switch, it can shoot fire and water rounds as well.
'''Hardiboiled:''' So if push comes to shove, I'll give the wanton wolfman a hosing down.

'''Hildibrand:''' Well now, that is a wondrous gadget indeed. Yet be that as it may, I remain firmly opposed to violence in all forms and elemental aspects.
'''Hildibrand:''' Solving cases in a manner befitting a gentleman... Such is the creed of Hildibrand, agent of enquiry, inspector extraordinaire!

'''Hardiboiled:''' Hmph. Soft to the core. If you don't harden up, you'll make the same mistake I did...
'''Hardiboiled:''' As a rule, I don't talk about my past. But if there was ever a time to break that rule, now would be it...
'''Hardiboiled:''' I used to have an assistant too. She was a lot like your own Nashu. A real sweetheart.
'''Hardiboiled:''' But she's gone now. Killed by the Crime King because of me. Because I was too soft...
'''Hardiboiled:''' The Crime King's descended from a line of mages. Carnelian's his real name, and he can wield powerful magic with a whispered word and a flick of the wrist. Doesn't have to rely on fancy gadgets like ordinary folk.
'''Hardiboiled:''' We had him at our mercy, me and my assistant. But then he started spinning a sob story, and like a half-boiled milksop, I lowered my gun.
'''Hardiboiled:''' That was all the opening Carnelian needed. He cast a spell before I could blink, and I would've died where I stood...if my assistant hadn't leapt in the way.
'''Hardiboiled:''' She wasn't wearing a regulator because she was following my lead. I killed her as much as he did.

'''Hildibrand:''' That such a thing should have happened...

'''Hardiboiled:''' I was able to catch Carnelian soon after that, but now the bastard's at large again, in a fiend's body.
'''Hardiboiled:''' When you deal with villains, you can't afford to be soft. Or one day you or someone dear to you will pay for it.
'''Hardiboiled:''' Now then, we've confirmed the vandal's here. But what is it that the researcher wants to achieve with this destruction spree...?
'''Hardiboiled:''' Well, first things first─we need to alert the Dustwatch. They'll want to be ready when the vandal strikes next. You know where to find 'em?
'''Hardiboiled:''' Hhusatahwi, eh? Right then, let's head over there.

'''Hildibrand:''' To think that the detective had suffered such a terrible tragedy...
'''Hildibrand:''' I struggle to find the words...

'''Q:''' What will you say?

> Just be your usual gentlemanly self.
> It's unlike you to be at a loss for words.

'''Hildibrand:''' You are right, my friend. As ever, I shall endeavor to be true to myself!

===Optional Dialogue===
'''Nashu Mhakaracca:''' Nashu Mhakaracca: You must try...<crunch>...these tacos! <munch> Absolutely worth...<crunch>...incarceration! <munch>

===Speak with Kemakka (cutscene)===
'''Hildibrand:''' Stay strong, Nashu! Soon you will be free!

'''Nashu Mhakaracca:''' This taco...<crunch>...is amazing! <munch>

'''Kemakka:''' Ah, it's you lot. What is it?
'''Kemakka:''' I'll be damned... Just a moment ago, we received a message from someone claiming to be the vandal. They've declared that the train's their next target.
'''Kemakka:''' I was about to dismiss it as a prank, but having heard your report, I'm inclined to believe the threat is real.

'''Hardiboiled:''' Then we need to get to Shaaloani Station right away!

'''Kemakka:''' Indeed. I'll gather my men and hurry there.

'''Hildibrand:''' As for Nashu...
'''Hildibrand:''' 'Twould be best if she remained here for now, I think.
'''Hildibrand:''' Detective─keenly though I feel for your loss, I must reiterate my staunch opposition to violence. Whatever may await us, I believe that we must strive for a gentlemanly resolution!

'''Hardiboiled:''' The vandal never used to announce his targets. This reeks like a rotten egg...

'''Shenza:''' Thank goodness you're here! Please, you can't let that fiend destroy the train!

'''Hardiboiled:''' We're on it. Get somewhere safe.

'''Hildibrand:''' We have you at last! From gentleman to gentlewolf, I suggest you surren─
'''Hildibrand:''' Tsk-tsk, Detective!

'''Hardiboiled:''' Over there! A dame in distress!
'''Hardiboiled:''' Gah! Of all the times to be out of charge...

'''Cauahealoa:''' G-Give a man a fright, will you?
'''Cauahealoa:''' Hold it right there! Try anything funny, and I'll torch those barrels!
'''Cauahealoa:''' They're filled to the brim with ceruleum─enough to blow us all sky-high!
'''Cauahealoa:''' Hehehe, there's nothing you can do, so just relax and enjoy the─ ...Huh?
'''Cauahealoa:''' Yeooooooooowch!

'''Hildibrand:''' Wait! We must extinguish the fire!

'''Hardiboiled:''' Th-The hell you think you're doing!?

'''Hildibrand:''' I shall stop this runaway wolf-train!
'''Hildibrand:''' I-I fear he is disinclined to stop!

'''Hardiboiled:''' Th-They're coming back...
'''Hardiboiled:''' ...And they're headed straight for the engine!
'''Hardiboiled:''' Dammit... If only I could use my gun...

'''Hildibrand:''' A Manderville man...
'''Hildibrand:''' And his electrifying handstand!

'''Hardiboiled:''' You did good, softy... <pant> You did good...

'''Hildibrand:''' You as well, Detective... <pant> You as well...

'''Cauahealoa:''' I thought I was done for... I owe you my life.

'''Hardiboiled:''' So you don't know anything either.

'''Cauahealoa:''' I'm afraid not. I was only doing as I was told.

'''Hardiboiled:''' Then the researcher's true objective remains a mystery. This chaos and destruction can't all be for its own sake, can it...?

'''Hildibrand:''' If you have learned your lesson, then I suggest you surrender yourself to the Dustwatch. You will be safe in their care, and receive regular meals besides.

'''Cauahealoa:''' Alright. I'll go quietly.

'''Kemakka:''' Apologies for the delay. I see you have the situation well in hand.
'''Kemakka:''' So this fiend was behind the destruction. We're grateful for your help.

'''Hardiboiled:''' Despite appearances, he was originally a man, so treat him like one, eh?

'''Kemakka:''' Is that so? Understood, he'll be treated with due dignity.
'''Kemakka:''' You're still soft, Hardiboiled. As you always were.
'''Kemakka:''' Hmph. I wasn't expecting an interruption so soon.
'''Kemakka:''' But no matter. The commotion has drawn you all here as intended.

'''Hardiboiled:''' You... You're Carnelian!

'''Kemakka:''' The villain disguised himself as one of my men and knocked me out. The rest, I believe you know...

'''Hardiboiled:''' It seems Carnelian's also working for the researcher, and this was just a diversion. What's that bastard's game...?

'''Kemakka:''' Let's head back Hhusatahwi for now. We have to set your friend free, after all. My men can clean up things here.

===Optional Dialogue===
'''Nashu Mhakaracca:''' Zzzzzz... Mmmmmm...tacos...

===Speak with Kemakka again (cutscene)===
'''Kemakka:''' Right, let's get the lady out of her cell.

'''Hildibrand:''' Oh, Nashu! Such an ordeal that must have been!

'''Nashu Mhakaracca:''' Oh yes, the hors d'oeuvres were quite tasty!

'''Tonawawtan Officer:''' Sheriff, we have a situation! A large shipment of ceruleum has been stolen from Sheshenewezi!

'''Kemakka:''' What!?

'''Tonawawtan Officer:''' It appears the thieves struck while we were dealing with the trouble at the station...

'''Kemakka:''' So that was the true target!

'''Hardiboiled:''' First electrope, now ceruleum... What does he need all those resources for?
'''Hardiboiled:''' As for Carnelian, he ain't the sort to do someone else's bidding. You can bet he's got his own angle.
'''Hardiboiled:''' No matter what it is, I won't rest until justice has been served. And next time, my gun will be ready.

'''Kemakka:''' You know something about these happenings, by the sounds of it?
'''Kemakka:''' So this extends beyond Shaaloani... Even if we had the manpower, the Dustwatch can't go traipsing about in other jurisdictions, so I think it'd be best if we left the matter in your hands.

'''Hardiboiled:''' Yeah, you can leave it to─

'''Hildibrand:''' Hildibrand, agent of enquiry, inspector extraordinaire! I swear to you, good sheriff, that I shall find and apprehend the villain with grace and ''nonviolent'' finesse!

'''Kemakka:''' W-We'd be grateful. Naturally, my men and I will conduct a thorough investigation in Shaaloani. If we learn anything, we'll be sure to let you know.

'''Hardiboiled:''' C'mon, let's head back to Solution Nine. I could use a hard-boiled egg right about now. Maybe even two.

===Optional Dialogue===
'''Kemakka:''' The ceruleum theft is being treated as a priority matter. We'll leave no stone unturned in our investigation.

'''Hildibrand:''' Now that my lightning charge is spent, I feel somehow lackluster...

'''Nashu Mhakaracca:''' It seems the inspector was a hero yet again! He never fails to rise to the occasion!

===Speak with Hardiboiled in Solution Nine (cutscene)===
'''Hardiboiled:''' Ahhh, home... I didn't mind it out in the wilds, but for this sentimental old fool, nothin' beats this neon-lit city.
'''Hardiboiled:''' Now, I'll get back to working on the storage device. Check in from time to time, in case I've found us a new lead.

'''Hildibrand:''' Meanwhile, let us continue along our own lines of inquiry!
'''Hildibrand:''' Pray do not blame yourself for your assistant, Detective. The fault most assuredly lies not with you.

'''Hardiboiled:''' Hmph, what would a soft-boiled dope know?
'''Hardiboiled:''' Just take care of your own, eh?

'''System:''' Meanwhile, in Shaaloani...

'''Scheming Researcher:''' Excellent. Soon, the plan will come to fruition.
'''Scheming Researcher:''' Kanilokka's achievements will be meaningless...
'''Scheming Researcher:''' ...Next to what the heavens have gifted me.
'''Scheming Researcher:''' You fugitives have served me well indeed.

'''Carnelian:''' And you me.

'''Hardiboiled:''' Curious about my gun, are you? Come now, no need to be shy.
'''Hardiboiled:''' She's a Molt Python Maximum, fitted with a custom short barrel.
'''Hardiboiled:''' Being made of electrope, she can convert her lightning charge to fire rounds in other energies.
'''Hardiboiled:''' The double action trigger means she's as fast you are, and the ambidextrous safety means she's at home in both hands.
'''Hardiboiled:''' The ventilated ribs help keep her cool and reduce the risk of malfunction when things really heat up.
'''Hardiboiled:''' The recoil spring guide rod takes the edge off her temper, while the extra long ejector rod housing serves to...

'''Nashu Mhakaracca:''' Are you getting sleepy? Because I sure am! Let's call it a day, shall we?
'''Nashu Mhakaracca:''' I don't have anything in particular to say about my alchemy tools. Till next time!

===Optional Dialogue===
'''Hardiboiled:''' Don't worry, ''Forename'', I'm working on the storage device. I'll have more data cracked open soon enough.
'''Hardiboiled:''' By the by, I've been feeling eyes on me lately... Not sure who it is, but the softy would probably think it's an admirer.

* Inspector's Log: No sooner did I emerge from a thirty-year slumber than I found myself at the heart of a mystery most diabolical: the Case of the Fiendish Fugitives! A secretive researcher has been imbuing monsters with the souls of criminals, who are then set loose in Alexandria to commit their favored felony. With the cooperation of the surly-if-well-meaning Detective Hardiboiled─whom I feel compelled to reiterate resembles me not in the slightest─we were able to apprehend one such villain, an eyeclops with an eye for larceny. Though the fugitive knew naught of the researcher's grand scheme, it is only a matter of time─and the investigative genius of Hildibrand Helidor Maximilian Manderville─ere all is brought before the light of gentlemanly justice! 　　　　　　　　　　　　*　*　* Hardiboiled has extracted more data from the storage device recovered from Yuweyawata, identifying a new fugitive-turned-fiend for your crew to pursue. The criminal in question has assumed the form of a cauahealoa, a bipedal wolf, and it is believed that it will be committing acts of wanton vandalism, for which it had earned notoriety as a man. While the fiend is like to avoid densely populated areas, for want of other leads, Hardiboiled suggests calling on one of his trusted sources, a man named Mymond. Setting aside the similarity to a certain information broker in Ul'dah for now, you make your way across the recreation zone to meet with the individual.
* In a development that would perhaps be amazing were it not but another of the countless curiosities you have experienced in the presence of Inspector Hildibrand, Mymond turns out to be the spitting image of Wymond. From the purveyor of information, you learn that a cauahealoa has been sighted entering yet not emerging from Vanguard. Furthermore, its mannerisms marked it as more man than beast. This is enough to convince Hardiboiled that your target has gone to Shaaloani, and you and companions set off for the barrier's exit.
* During your passage through Vanguard, Hardiboiled betrays an irrational fear for oglops when he loses his characteristic cool in an encounter with the verminous insects. Your timely provision of a boiled egg thankfully suffices for him to regain composure, and you continue on to Shaaloani without further incident.
* Upon arriving in Shaaloani, Hardiboiled proposes that you begin by gathering information in settlements. Sheshenewezi Springs lies a short distance to the south, and it is there that your crew first makes its way.
* You and your companions split up to question the people of Sheshenewezi Springs about acts of vandalism in the area. Such incidents would serve to confirm the presence of your fugitive.
* Through your inquiries, you have learned that there has been a spate of vandalism targeting equipment and barns. Though the Dustwatch has no lead as yet, the culprit is believed to be an outsider. Armed with this knowledge, you go to seek out Hardiboiled.
* You report your findings to Hardiboiled, who says that he has heard much the same. When Hildibrand then wonders after Nashu's whereabouts, Hardiboiled expresses his exasperation before proposing that you split up to search for the inspector's absent-minded assistant.
* At the outskirts of Sheshenewezi Springs, you find Nashu being accosted by ruffians who, having seen her polishing her “medicine,” wish to take her in as the wanted vandal. As the confrontation heats up, Hardiboiled challenges the leader to settle matters the old-fashioned way, and the two subsequently square off for a duel in the middle of town. With his superior experience and skill, Hardiboiled gets the better of his brash young opponent before further dodging a spray of bullets from the remaining ruffians. The commotion draws out Kemakka, who deems Hardiboiled innocent for his part in an unlawful gunfight, but when Hildibrand accidentally ignites one of Nashu's Delights in his presence, the sheriff decides to arrest her as a vandal suspect. As his assistant is led away in shackles, the inspector manages to extricate himself from the ground in time to swear that he will clear her name.

===Accepting the quest (cutscene)===
'''Hardiboiled:''' If it isn't ''Forename''. Been keeping yourself sharp, I trust?

'''Q:''' What will you say?

> Sharp as a razor!
> Reasonably!
> I've been sharper...

< Sharp as a razor! >
< Reasonably! >
'''Hardiboiled:''' Good to hear. In our line of work, you gotta stay in peak condition and be ready for anything.

< I've been sharper... >
'''Hardiboiled:''' That's no good. In our line of work, you gotta stay in peak condition and be ready for anything.

'''Hardiboiled:''' In any case, you picked a good moment to come by. I've managed to recover more data and learned about another experimental subject.

'''Hildibrand:''' Oho! I daresay that is the cue for us to lend our investigative skills once more!

'''Hardiboiled:''' It seems this criminal had his soul put into the body of a cauahealoa. That's a two-legged wolf, in case you weren't familiar.
'''Hardiboiled:''' Prior to that, the man was a notorious vandal who went around causing wanton destruction, targeting everything from shops to government facilities. Didn't have any grand motive─was all for the thrill of it. A real piece of work.
'''Hardiboiled:''' Like the sticky-fingered eyeclops, odds are he's up to his old antics in his new body, and is a pawn of the mysterious researcher.

'''Hildibrand:''' Such a fiend wreaking havoc in a densely populated area would swiftly attract attention. If our wolfman were to make mischief, I expect it would be somewhere outside this city.

'''Hardiboiled:''' Heh, not half bad reasoning for a soft-boiled dope. As you say, the fiend's likely to strike places outside of Solution Nine.
'''Hardiboiled:''' We don't have any leads beyond that, though, so I've a mind to pay one of my trusted sources a visit.
'''Hardiboiled:''' Mymond's his name, and his business is “knowin' every bugger else's.” Come on, he ought to be at his usual spot nearby.

'''Hildibrand:''' Mymond... Does that not remind you of our friend Wymond?

'''Nashu Mhakaracca:''' It does! Do you suppose we'll get to meet a ''Your''mond too?

===Optional Dialogue===
'''Hardiboiled:''' That there's Mymond. Let's see if he knows anything about a fiend with an appetite for destruction.

'''Hildibrand:''' Good gods, he even ''looks'' like Wymond...

'''Nashu Mhakaracca:''' Cor, he could be a clone of Wymond! I've never seen anything like it...except for the time Mister PuPu made all those clones of the inspector!

===Speak with Mymond (cutscene)===
'''Mymond:''' Ain't often I see you with company, Detective. What can I do you for today?
'''Mymond:''' A thrill-seekin' vandal in the body of a fiend... Sounds like a recipe for trouble alright.
'''Mymond:''' Now, can't say as I've heard any talk of vandalism, neither in or around Everkeep.
'''Mymond:''' But there's a hunter who caught sight of a solitary cauahealoa near the barrier recently. It went into Vanguard an' didn't come back out, so he assumed it went to Shaaloani.
'''Mymond:''' What struck him the most, though, was the queer way it moved. Seemed more man than beast, he said.

'''Hardiboiled:''' Cauahealoas are fiercely territorial creatures that live in packs. This lone wolf's our vandal, I'd wager my gun on it.
'''Hardiboiled:''' We'll head to Shaaloani right away. Thanks for the lead, Mymond.

'''Hildibrand:''' 'Tis truly uncanny indeed, the resemblance you bear to my friend. His name is Wymond, and information is his stock and trade as well.

'''Mymond:''' Eh? Not only do we have similar faces and names, but we're in the same business besides? Well, bugger me with a lightning rod...
'''Mymond:''' You know, you look rather like the detective yourself, only you're either younger or have a better skin care regimen. You brothers or somethin'?

'''Hildibrand and Hardiboiled:''' Ridiculous!

'''Hildibrand:''' Detective Hardiboiled and I are not the least bit alike!

'''Hardiboiled:''' Damn right! Don't compare me to this preening ninny!

'''Mymond:''' Alright, alright. Didn't mean to ruffle any feathers.
'''Mymond:''' But you, lass... Somethin' about you reminds me of the detective's assistant. Takes me back, it does...

'''Hardiboiled:''' We should get going. Let's gather in front of Vanguard before heading to Shaaloani.

===Optional Dialogue===
'''Mymond:''' We go a ways back, me and Hardiboiled and his assistant. They're the reason I fell into this trade, you might say.

'''Hildibrand:''' We chanced to see a cow-halo en route here. They have a rather endearing appearance, I must say!

'''Nashu Mhakaracca:''' That wolf fiend is so adorable, what with their spiky leg armor and giant sword! Do you think they like being scratched behind the ears?

===Speak with Hardiboiled in East Yyasulani===
'''Hardiboiled:''' This'll be my first time beyond the barrier. Wonder if I can find a quiet bar that doesn't water down its drinks...

===Cutscene===
'''Hildibrand:''' Hnnngh...!

'''Nashu Mhakaracca:''' Inspector, you're all glowy-tingly!

'''Hardiboiled:''' Must be the lightning round I hit you with. The aftereffects can linger a while, I'm afraid.

'''Hildibrand:''' No need for concern. Far from causing discomfort, the lightning appears to have improved my circulation. I feel haler than I have in recent memory!

'''Hardiboiled:''' Hmph, you really are an oddball...
'''Hardiboiled:''' Uwaaaaaah!

'''Hildibrand:''' I must say, Detective, I hadn't expected your hardened self to suffer from a fear of insects.

'''Nashu Mhakaracca:''' And such adorable ones too!

'''Hardiboiled:''' Th-They're not just any insect! They're ''oglops''─bringers of death and disease!
'''Hardiboiled:''' <pant> <pant> Get a hold of yourself, now... An egg... An egg'll set you straight...
'''Hardiboiled:''' You fool... You didn't bring any... Not a single one... Damn it aaaaaall!

'''Hildibrand:''' Oh dear... Never have I seen such a severe case of egg withdrawal...

'''Nashu Mhakaracca:''' Think you could boil this to the good detective's liking?

'''Q:''' How long will you boil the egg?

> Six minutes.
> Twelve minutes.
> Twenty minutes.

'''Hardiboiled:''' Th-This isn't another trick, is it?
'''Hardiboiled:''' Bah, I'll chance it!

< Six minutes. >
'''Hardiboiled:''' I'd barely popped the egg in my mouth when it caved and the yolk came pouring out, like blood from a fresh gunshot wound. It was a two-bit punk with no fight in it. All bark and no bite.
'''Hardiboiled:''' You don't get it, do you, ''Forename''? What it takes to survive on the mean streets of Solution Nine.
'''Nashu Mhakaracca:''' Looks like you didn't boil it long enough...

< Twelve minutes. >
'''Hardiboiled:''' The texture of the yolk, firm and assured... Not untested but not broken down by the weight of the world... The essence of a survivor.
'''Hardiboiled:''' You're a woman/man that knows the score, ''Forename''. I'm glad to have you at my back.
'''Nashu Mhakaracca:''' Looks like you boiled it just right! Well done!

< Twenty minutes. >
'''Hardiboiled:''' The rubbery white... The pungent, crumbling yolk... Like a stubborn old coot who refuses to change with the times.
'''Hardiboiled:''' You don't get it, do you, ''Forename''? What it takes to survive on the mean streets of Solution Nine.
'''Nashu Mhakaracca:''' Looks like you boiled it too long...

'''Hardiboiled:''' At any rate, I feel like myself again. Appreciate it, ''Forename''.

'''Hildibrand:''' I had every confidence you could aid the good detective, my dear assistants. Come, let us continue on!

===Optional Dialogue===
'''Hildibrand:''' The landscape is reminiscent of Thanalan, is it not? I'm put in mind of my youth, when I trained by running through the wilds whilst carrying a chocobo upon my shoulders.

'''Nashu Mhakaracca:''' Wherever I go, I always make sure I bring food with me. After all, one can't investigate on an empty stomach!

===Speak with Hardiboiled===
'''Hardiboiled:''' So this is the outside world... It's gonna take some getting used to being under a sky without limits.
'''Hardiboiled:''' Right, we should begin by talking to the locals. That a town I see over there?
'''Hardiboiled:''' Sheshenewezi Springs, eh? As good a place as any. C'mon, let's go.

===Optional Dialogue===
'''Hildibrand:''' I see they drill for ceruleum here, just like in Thanalan. The similarity is more than soil deep!

'''Nashu Mhakaracca:''' I'm feeling hunger pangs... I wonder if I can get a bite to eat somewhere...

===Speak with Hardiboiled again===
'''Hardiboiled:''' An old-fashioned place, this, but it's got a ruggedness that speaks to me. A man could get used to it.
'''Hardiboiled:''' Anyway, let's split up and ask around─see if there's been any acts of vandalism in these parts. You learn something, you come and tell me.

===Gather information in Sheshenewezi Springs===
====[[Sheeho]]====
'''Sheeho:''' Oh yes, I heard that a barn was destroyed the other day─smashed to pieces, by all accounts. Why would anyone do such a senseless thing?

'''Sheeho:''' I really don't understand vandals. What do they get out of such destruction?

====[[Kepayuwte]]====
'''Kepayuwte:''' Vandalism? Don't get me started! Some miscreant busted up some of our drilling equipment! I pour my blood, sweat, and tears into keeping everything running, so it had me seeing red!
'''Kepayuwte:''' Ceruleum's our livelihood, so the perpetrator can't possibly be a local. It's an outsider, mark my words!

'''Kepayuwte:''' No local would dare damage our drilling equipment. Not when our livelihoods depend on it. The perpetrator's an outsider, and that's a fact!

====[[Tonawawtan Officer]]====
'''Tonawawtan Officer:''' As a matter of fact, there's been a spate of vandalism targeting barns and equipment. The culprit strikes when no one's around and leaves no trace, so we don't have so much as a lead.
'''Tonawawtan Officer:''' Baffled as we are, we've posted a generous bounty. Information's welcome too, of course, so if you see any suspicious activity, be sure to let us know.

'''Tonawawtan Officer:''' We've put a generous bounty on the vandal, but information leading to their capture may earn you a reward as well. Don't hesitate to inform us of any suspicious activity you witness.

===Optional Dialogue===
'''Hildibrand:''' Have you perchance seen an endearing, wolflike fiend that walks on its hind legs?

'''Hardiboiled:''' Has anything been destroyed in these parts lately?

===Speak with Hardiboiled===
'''Hardiboiled:''' Hey. Manage to learn anything?
'''Hardiboiled:''' We heard much the same. Our vandal's been busy.

'''Hildibrand:''' By the by, have you seen Nashu? I'm not sure where she's gone...

'''Hardiboiled:''' You serious? How can you not know where your own assistant is... <sigh> We better split up and find her.

===Optional Dialogue===
'''Cocky Ruffian:''' We know it's you! Just admit it already!

===Search for Nashu Mhakaracca===
'''Nashu Mhakaracca:''' Oh, hello there, ''Forename''! I could use a little help!

===Cutscene===
'''Hildibrand:''' I say, Nashu, have you been making new friends?

'''Cocky Ruffian:''' Know her, do you? And all the chaos she's been sowin' too, no doubt.

'''Hildibrand:''' Wh-Whatever do you mean?

'''Cocky Ruffian:''' Don't play the fool. We saw her polishin' them bombs.

'''Fierce Ruffian:''' That's right. She's the one been blowin' things up! We're takin' her in and collectin' the bounty.

'''Nashu Mhakaracca:''' For the umpteenth time, they're not bombs! They're medicine!

'''Hildibrand:''' Y-Yea, verily! Though they may look─and indeed explode─like bombs, they are in fact potent restoratives! My assistant is not the vandal you seek!

'''Cocky Ruffian:''' That's the stupidest shit I've ever heard! Exploding medicine!? Hah!

'''Hardiboiled:''' Let's all take a deep breath now...
'''Hardiboiled:''' No need to get so hot and bothered. We can talk this through─resolve things peacefully.

'''Cocky Ruffian:''' I don't know who you are, but we're done talkin' here.
'''Cocky Ruffian:''' She's the vandal, and that's that. You'll stand aside if you know what's good for you!

'''Hardiboiled:''' Hmph. If you're not willing to be civil, then we'll have to settle this the old-fashioned way.

'''Hildibrand:''' Detective, wait! I am emphatically opposed to violence. I must insist that we resolve this in a gentlemanly manner.

'''Hardiboiled:''' These kids wouldn't know a gentleman if he shot 'em in the rear. Don't waste your breath.

'''Cocky Ruffian:''' Grrr, you asked for it, old man! You want a duel, I'll give you a duel!

'''Hardiboiled:''' Just remember that you had other options. Now, we're gonna need witnesses, so let's take it elsewhere.
'''Hardiboiled:''' Don't worry your little head. It ain't to the death.

'''Hildibrand:''' Ill at ease though I am with Detective Hardiboiled's chosen approach, it seems we must defer to him...

'''Hardiboiled:''' He puts on a brave face, but he's nervous. Watch the eyes─he'll rush to finish it.
'''Hardiboiled:''' What's that red smudge? Had yourself some poached eggs smothered in tomato sauce, did you? Hmph. A soft choice for a soft bastard.
'''Hardiboiled:''' Not the least bit fazed. Hard recognizes hard, and I can tell you're a woman/man who's been to hell and back. Even I could learn a thing or two from you...
'''Hardiboiled:''' Whoa, whoa, you kidding me? All this fuss over you, and you're having a snooze? Heh, you've got moxie, dollface...just like her. Dream sweet dreams, now.
'''Hardiboiled:''' Still charged with lightning... That's...impressive in its own way. But never mind that oaf for now. I've got a job to do.
'''Hardiboiled:''' An old-fashioned firearm like most carried in these parts. Watch the barrel, dodge the bullet.
'''Hardiboiled:''' Luscious locks for a roughneck. Don't know what fancy hair treatment you use, sweet prince, but a bar of soap is all I need.
'''Hardiboiled:''' I've seen enough. This one's in the bag.

'''Fierce Ruffian:''' Piss on the old laws! Long as you win, it don't matter how!
'''Fierce Ruffian:''' Wh-Who the hell ''are'' you?

'''Kemakka:''' What's going on here!?
'''Kemakka:''' So that's the way of it. But nonlethal rounds or no, the law forbids dueling in town.
'''Kemakka:''' As such, this will be treated as an illegal gunfight, and the guilt falls on the side that drew first. You lot are coming with me.
'''Kemakka:''' Now, it seems this all began when they saw the lady with what looked like bombs, and assumed she was the vandal. While you don't strike me as a miscreant, I'd like to examine the objects for good measure.
'''Kemakka:''' I must say it does look like a bomb...

'''Hildibrand:''' Ahahaha! An understandable if unfortunate misunderstanding. Despite its worrisome appearance, I assure you, good sir, that this is a bespoke medicine that rejuvenates me when I am feeling poorly.

'''Kemakka:''' That's a bomb, or I was born yesterday.

'''Hildibrand:''' Ahhh, I feel like a new man! 'Tis as if I walk upon a cloud!

'''Kemakka:''' Enough of that hogwash! While this alone doesn't prove she's the vandal, we're going to keep her in the jailhouse till we know more.

'''Nashu Mhakaracca:''' Are meals served at this jailhouse?

'''Kemakka:''' W-Well, that they are...

'''Nashu Mhakaracca:''' See you!

'''Hildibrand:''' I will come for you, Nashu! I will find the true criminal and clear your good name, this I swear!

===Optional Dialogue===
'''Hardiboiled:''' Why did it have to be oglops...

==Journal==
* Detective Hardiboiled's veteran nose has picked up the scent of a new case.
* Inspector's Log: To what far-flung shores have I found myself flung this time? Well, irregardless of inexplicable intergalactic travel (or rather more local jaunts), I, Hildibrand, agent of enquiry, inspector extraordinaire, have made my triumphant return! After emerging from a slumber of thirty some-odd years, I have made the acquaintance of a man purported to be my twin from another world─an assertion I am inclined to push back against, given the man's somewhat surly disposition. However, like yours truly, he appears possessed of a sincere desire to solve mysteries and redress the wrongs of the world, so for now, let us see if a partnership may yet be forged! 
:　　　　　　　　　　　　*　*　*
:Detective Hardiboiled shares the details of the new mystery he stumbled across: an ominous tale of ghoulish experiments and suspiciously empty specimen cages. A researcher who survived the zombification of his peers has continued their work in secret, imbuing monsters with the souls of criminals marked for “rehabilitation.” Hoping to recover more data from the battered storage device he discovered, Hardiboiled invites you to his domicile in the Recreation Zone of Solution Nine. The Case of the Fiendish Fugitives has begun...
* Although the device was more damaged than anticipated, Hardiboiled was able to piece together a partial file on one of the criminal subjects. It seems a habitual thief now inhabits the body of an eyeclops and, judging by past tendencies, is likely engaging in acts of larceny primarily to inconvenience and infuriate. The detective reasons that as electrope is Alexandria's most critical resource, then the quarry in Heritage Found would be too tempting a target to ignore. Perhaps someone at Electrope Strike knows something that could help with your investigation.
* A helpful quarry worker confirms that someone has indeed been stealing raw electrope shipments and happily agrees to provide bait to snare the thief. All appears to be proceeding to plan, but upon spotting you lurking with intent to ambush, the wary eyeclops flees before the trap can be sprung.
* Despite giving immediate chase, you lose the thief in a field dominated by towering eyeclopes. Eyeclopses. Eyeclopsi...? Detective Hardiboiled─firmly in the “eyeclopes” camp─suggests you split up and approach the brutes, noting that the criminal in question has a cowardly reputation. Find the one that does not attempt to squish you on sight, and you will have surely found your man-in-a-monster.
* You locate the thief masquerading as a wild eyeclops, but are once again left choking in the dust kicked up by his impressive escape velocity. Did Nashu see which way he went? Only one way to find out.
* Hardiboiled and Hildibrand corner the eyeclops thief. Following a tense standoff during which the detective and the inspector display their very different approaches to apprehending criminals, the eyeclops is convinced to surrender. He also volunteers what little information he knows of the researcher who not only transferred his soul into his monstrous body, but also coerced him into stealing the electrope. Satisfied that you have learned all there is to learn, Hardiboiled bids you wait for him at his place, then leaves to deliver the thief to the authorities.
* Back in Solution Nine, Hardiboiled muses over the researcher mastermind's possible motivations and the other monsters undoubtedly in his employ. These fugitive flunkies will be trying to avoid detection, possibly even operating outside the dome's confines. Admitting his unfamiliarity with the outside world, the detective asks for your continued assistance with the case─a request which Hildibrand is only too pleased to answer. Hardiboiled also alludes to a former nemesis known as the “Crime King,” who may very well have been part of the researcher's ersatz rehabilitation program. Eager to return to pulling data from the storage device, the hard-bitten gumshoe bids you drop in the next time you are in the neighborhood...

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest (cutscene)===
Hardiboiled: As I was saying, I got a whiff of a new case in the making, so listen up while I explain the particulars.
Hardiboiled: You said you scoured this place top to bottom, and learned they were trying to stuff people's souls into monstrous hosts. But the facility was forced to close down before they managed any real success... Sound about right?
Hardiboiled: I'm guessing whatever incident turned the staff into walking corpses happened not long after.
Hardiboiled: Here's where it gets interesting: according to the notes I found, one of the researchers survived, and continued to work independently even after the project was mothballed.
Hardiboiled: Apparently he dismissed the tural vidraal as impossible to control and instead chose to pursue his research using less ornery beasts.

Hildibrand: Are you suggesting this mad scientist transferred his own soul into some slavering fiend!?

Hardiboiled: Nothing so mad as all that. No, he saved that honor for convicted criminals.
Hardiboiled: Seems he set up a fake rehabilitation program, had the prisoners transferred, then yanked out their souls for use in his experiments.

Nashu Mhakaracca: How awful! And what became of these now criminally minded creatures?

Hardiboiled: That's the million-credit question. I tracked down the containment cell mentioned in the notes, but found the cages inside emptier than a bar fly's tumbler.
Hardiboiled: A little digging into the operations log showed the cage locks were opened only recently. Which means...

Hildibrand: ...We find ourselves on the Case of the Fiendish Fugitives! We must seek out and apprehend these dastardly evil-doers on the double!

Hardiboiled: ...Yes, there's a ''chance'' they're out there causing trouble. And as a detective, I can't turn a blind eye when I suspect wrongdoing is afoot.
Hardiboiled: Luckily, I also found a storage device that I figure belonged to the author of those research notes. It's pretty banged up, but I think the data might still be intact.
Hardiboiled: Let's head back to Solution Nine. I'll take this thing to my place in the Recreation Zone and see what I can recover.

===Optional Dialogue===
Hildibrand: Illusion Shine is a most impressive metropolis!

Nashu Mhakaracca: Cor, I never noticed how far down it went!

===Speak with Hardiboiled in Solution Nine===
Hardiboiled: Right, I'll take a crack at this storage device. You're better off waiting outside─I'm not the kind of guy who makes his bed every morning, to say the least.

===Cutscene===
Hardiboiled: Well, the bad news is the device was in even worse shape than I expected. It'll be a while yet before I can recover all its contents.
Hardiboiled: A quick pass netted me some scraps, though─enough to piece together a partial file on one of the experimental subjects. It states our surviving researcher stuck the soul of a career thief into the body of an eyeclops.
Hardiboiled: This light-fingered fella didn't steal outta greed, but for the joy of pissing off his victims. Twisted guy like that ain't likely to change his stripes just 'cause he switched bodies...

Hildibrand: Yes, 'tis all becoming clear to me...
Hildibrand: His intentions are obvious! Our impish escapee will burgle the most prestigious jewelry store in the city!

Hardiboiled: Hmph, as soft-boiled a guess as any I've ever heard. Your instincts are way off, pal.
Hardiboiled: Never seen an eyeclops before, have you? If one of those big brutes was lumbering through the streets, all we'd have to do is follow the screams.
Hardiboiled: No, if he's plotting a heist, it'll involve a target outside Everkeep. And he won't be aiming to pilfer any old supply crate, neither, but something that'd really cause a nuisance...
Hardiboiled: Electrope. Alexandria's got a habit only that miraculous ore can satisfy. We need to hustle to the quarry outside, and I mean now.

===Optional Dialogue===
Hardiboiled: This guy should be able to answer some questions.

Hildibrand: I say, the weather here is rather unruly. How I pine for the crystal-clear skies of Ul'dah.

Nashu Mhakaracca: <sniff> <sniff> ...Is it just me, or is someone frying a block of cheese with a steady current of lightning energy?

===Speak with the electrope miner at Electrope Strike===
Electrope Miner: Yes, I work here. Was there something you needed?
Electrope Miner: ...Have we had any thefts? Funny you should ask, actually. We've had several shipments of raw electrope go missing in recent days.
Electrope Miner: The strangest part is that our guards didn't see a damn thing. You'd need a hover cargo to move those heavy blocks, and surely someone would've noticed it coming and going...

Hardiboiled: There, what'd I tell you? A sneaky eyeclops could've run off with those blocks without breaking a sweat.

Electrope Miner: You know who the culprit is, then? If there's anything I can do to help catch them, just say the word.

Hardiboiled: That's mighty kind of you, friend. Then let's have you bait the trap with a stack of electrope, placed conveniently out of sight of your patrols. We'll do the rest.

Electrope Miner: One tempting stack of electrope, coming up!

===Cutscene===
Electrope Miner: There, that should do the trick. Collar that thief for me, will you?
Electrope Miner: Oh, and...do be careful while you're at it.

Hardiboiled: The trap is set. Now we wait...

Larcenous Eyeclops: Oho, this is perfect...
Larcenous Eyeclops: Hm. Maybe a little ''too'' perfect...
Larcenous Eyeclops: Not good! Not good!

Hardiboiled: That's our thief. After him!

===Optional Dialogue===
Nashu Mhakaracca: Oooh, so many eyeclopes! Or is it eyesclopses?

Hardiboiled: Hmph. Who would've thought a creature that big could run that fast...

===Speak with Hildibrand===
Hildibrand: We've lost sight of our quarry!

Hardiboiled: And he's gone to ground in the middle of a field of eyeclopes. We got us a wise guy.
Hardiboiled: Not a tough guy, though, according to his file. Says he's got no stomach for fighting, so we just need to split up and find the one that doesn't try to squish us on sight.

Hardiboiled: 'Course, even if he is a coward, he's a big boy now, so he might still try to go down swinging. Shout out if you hit pay dirt, and we'll take him together!

===Search for the thieving eyeclops===
Lv98 Eyeclops: Uh... M-Me not bad eyeclops.

What will you say?
> Eyeclopes don't talk.
> No? So why are you stealing?

Lv98 Eyeclops: I─ Aaaaaahhhhhh!

===Speak with Nashu===
Nashu Mhakaracca: The inspector and the detective set off in pursuit of that screaming eyeclops!
Nashu Mhakaracca: Come on! Let's not get left behind!

===Cutscene===
Larcenous Eyeclops: D-Dammit all!

Hildibrand: We have you now, fiend! There's nowhere left to─

Larcenous Eyeclops: Gahgahgahgahgahgah!
Larcenous Eyeclops: Ow-ow-ow! It's like being stabbed by a thousand tiny needles!

Hardiboiled: Out with it, punk. Where did you stash the goods? Who set you free?

Larcenous Eyeclops: A-As if I'd tell the likes of you...

Hardiboiled: Have it your way. I hear this stings worse than chili sauce in your eye.

Larcenous Eyeclops: Nooo!

Hildibrand: Now, now, Detective. Threats and intimidation do not become a gentleman.

Hardiboiled: Move, dammit─''move''! Give a criminal a chance and they'll make you wish you hadn't!

Larcenous Eyeclops: My turn!

Nashu Mhakaracca: Oooh, he really ''is'' a big boy.

Larcenous Eyeclops: This is my show now! Lose the gun, or the girl gets it!
Larcenous Eyeclops: You too! Weapons on the ground!
Larcenous Eyeclops: Ew, is he twitching!?
Larcenous Eyeclops: Ahgahgahgah! My eye! My eeeyyyeee!!!

Hardiboiled: You had your chance to come quietly. Say goodnight, sunshine.

Larcenous Eyeclops: Gaaaaaahhh!
Larcenous Eyeclops: Aaahhh...uh? That didn't hurt at all.

Hildibrand: I, H-H-Hildibrand, agent of-of-of enquiry, ab-ab-abhor acts of v-v-violence!

Nashu Mhakaracca: Cor, the inspector's all lit up!

Hardiboiled: You gotta be kidding me. That shot had enough juice to take down a gomphotherium...

Larcenous Eyeclops: So bright... Too bright for me to bear!

Hildibrand: Ah... The pain is akin to stepping barefoot on a coblyn's back.
Hildibrand: Master Thief. Are you certain you aren't willing to speak with us?

Larcenous Eyeclops: You...you shone like a precious jewel. I yield. I'll tell you everything.

Hardiboiled: Soft-boiled ''and'' cracked...

Larcenous Eyeclops: I never wanted the electrope. The researcher who freed us commanded me to steal it, and I handed over every block I took.

Hardiboiled: So you ''weren't'' just being your usual thieving self...? Alright. So what's this researcher's name?

Larcenous Eyeclops: He never told me his name, I swear! I know him only as the man who made us into monsters!
Larcenous Eyeclops: He already had some scary-looking bruiser working for him, so I didn't dare refuse his orders.

Hardiboiled: No idea where we might find him, then...?

Larcenous Eyeclops: None. I was supposed to meet him out here with my latest haul, but you can bet he slipped away after realizing I wasn't alone.
Larcenous Eyeclops: That's it. That's all I can give you.

Hardiboiled: Alright, I believe you. This case has taken a fishy turn...
Hardiboiled: But even if you were an unwilling subject in all this, you still have crimes to answer for. I'm handing you over to the tin men authorities.
Hardiboiled: Don't worry: I'll explain how you're a crook in monster's clothing so they don't just send you to the Arcadion for slaughter.
Hardiboiled: As for the rest of you, meet me back at my place in Solution Nine.

===Optional Dialogue===
Nashu Mhakaracca: Wasn't Inspector Hildibrand incredible?

===Speak with Hildibrand in Solution Nine (cutscene)===
Hildibrand: Surely Detective Hardiboiled must now acknowledge my dazzling investigative skills.

Hardiboiled: In your dreams, pal...
Hardiboiled: I handed the eyeclops over to the authorities and gave them the lowdown on our case.
Hardiboiled: You can bet your last bean that researcher fella has other monsters doing his dirty work. I can't figure his angle yet, but he's up to no good, that's for sure.
Hardiboiled: Whatever those criminals are now, they're also fugitives. They'll be operating as far away from our mechanical sentries as possible─maybe even beyond the confines of the dome.
Hardiboiled: And that's a whole world I ain't familiar with. If you're keen to stay on the case, then I could use your help out there.

Hildibrand: You shall have it, of course! Inspector Hildibrand is at your service!

Hardiboiled: Got my trench coat in a twist when your pal started dancing in front of my gun, and it's only fair I tell you why. Has to do with a man who had his fingers in every illegal pie in Alexandria. The Crime King, they called him.
Hardiboiled: It was me who caught His Royal Rogueness and sent him to rot in a prison cell. But after being transferred elsewhere under the auspices of some “rehabilitation program,” I haven't heard a peep...
Hardiboiled: I see you've connected the dots. Could be that elsewhere was Yuweyawata, yeah. Me and him have got a history, so if he's running free out there somewhere in a new monster skin...
Hardiboiled: I want to be the one to bring him in.

Hildibrand: Your unwavering commitment is commendable, Detective Hardiboiled!
Hildibrand: I, Hildibrand, agent of enquiry, inspector extraordinaire, hereby swear to remain steadfastly by your side until we have brought this case to its resolution!

Hardiboiled: I don't recall asking that soft-boiled dope to do a damn thing...
Hardiboiled: Anyhow, I'll get back to pulling scraps of data from that box. Drop by next time you're in the neighborhood─maybe I'll have a new lead for us to follow.

System: Meanwhile, somewhere in Heritage Found...

Scheming Researcher: I was hoping to see our hulking eyeclops squish those curious rats... The craven fool surrendered with barely a struggle.
Scheming Researcher: But no matter. I have more than enough electrope now to proceed with my plans.
Scheming Researcher: Given the right direction, you outlaws have proven most useful. Especially with the aid of your new...monstrous talents.

Hardiboiled: When making hard-boiled eggs, you wanna boil for the same length of time, every time.
Hardiboiled: Twelve minutes exactly. Any less, they're too soft. Any more, they're overcooked.
Hardiboiled: We're outta time today, so here are some I prepared earlier...

Nashu Mhakaracca: The manufacture of my egg-shaped medicine is a closely guarded trade secret─so don't try to make your own at home!
Nashu Mhakaracca: Keep safe and stay tuned for the next episode of Inconceivably Further Hildibrand Adventures!

===Optional Dialogue===
Hardiboiled: You still here? Like I said, retrieving that data takes time.
Hardiboiled: So why am I hanging around out here like a bad smell, you ask? I just figured you'd miss this handsome mug too much if I stayed cooped up inside.

* Speak with [[Hardiboiled]].
* Speak with Hardiboiled and have him accompany you.
* Question middle-aged and older inhabitants of the residential sector while Hardiboiled is accompanying you. 0/3
* Question the [[Shetona Man of Indeterminate Age|Shetona man of indeterminate age]] while Hardiboiled is accompanying you.
* Speak with [[Nashu]] while Hardiboiled is accompanying you.
* Speak with the [[Accomodating Reforger|accommodating reforger]] at the driftdowns.
* Speak with Hardiboiled in Yuweyawata.
* Search for leads on the starship. 0/3
* Speak with Hardiboiled.

==Journal==
* Nashu Mhakaracca's expression is equal parts consternation and anticipation.
* As if awaiting his cue, Hardiboiled appears just as you approach the anxiously awaiting Nashu. The detective's search for the missing Hildibrand has proven unsuccessful, but after encouraging you to retell the tale of your journey thus far, he pounces on the idea of tracking down the starship instead. To that end, you make your way over to the residential sector, hoping to interview older natives of your world who may have witnessed the original crash landing.
* Nashu produces a copy of the starship illustration─complete with her own hand-drawn portrait of Inspector Hildibrand─to aid in your investigation. As she only has one other copy for herself, she insists that you share yours with Detective Hardiboiled.
* The detective is eager to begin questioning the park-goers. He suggests showing Nashu's picture to older Hyune and Hhetsarro that might have originally hailed from outside the dome.
:※You must be accompanied by Hardiboiled to complete this task. Speak with him again should you become separated.
* Despite your best efforts to jog their memories, the elder residents are unable to help you in your search. Hardiboiled is unwilling to give up, however, and directs you towards a Shetona man he spotted heading towards the 9-14 radius.
* As fortune might have it, the Shetona gentleman recalls the exact moment he saw the flying disc crashing down somewhere in Yuweyawata, to the north. Armed with this new information, you and the detective set off to find Nashu.
* You realize some method of transportation is required in order to cross the lake and reach Yuweyawata on the other side. Hardiboiled soon solves this problem by contacting a reforger acquaintance at the driftdowns who is willing to lend you the use of her hover cargo.
* You board the hover cargo and venture across the lake to Yuweyawata. Hardiboiled stands in the entrance to the research facility, taking in the gloomy interior.
: ※In the event that you leave the area, you may return by speaking with the accommodating reforger at the driftdowns.
* Satisfied that the place is relatively free of roaming threats, Hardiboiled urges you to take a look around. Somewhere in the mess and debris of the facility may be found a clue as to what became of the starship.
* A series of confidential records helps you piece together the story of the starship's discovery and the subsequent experiments performed upon its comatose─yet miraculously unharmed─occupant. Believing you have found Inspector Hildibrand's last known location, you set out to find Detective Hardiboiled and share your promising lead.
* Verification key in hand, Hardiboiled leads you to the room where the researchers have been preserving Hildibrand in a specimen capsule. Rather than fuss with finding a manual to open this advanced containment unit, however, an explosive egg proffered by Nashu suffices to at last reunite you with the indomitable inspector. Hildibrand seems none the worse for wear after three decades of hibernation. Hardiboiled marvels at the inspector's still youthful appearance, not to mention his taming of the zombie horde drawn by the commotion, but there appears to be no love lost between the hard-bitten detective and the gentlemanly agent of enquiry. Differences (and similarities) aside, Hardiboiled is nonetheless willing to share the details of the new case he stumbled across within the ominous facility.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest (cutscene)===
Nashu Mhakaracca: Forename! Here to help again, are you? As things stand, I'm still waiting on word from─

Hardiboiled: Yours truly, I assume.
Hardiboiled: Since parting ways, I've searched every alley and dive bar in Everkeep for signs of this Phildigrand character.

Nashu Mhakaracca: It's pronounced “Hildibrand.”

Hardiboiled: Well, however you say it, he was nowhere to be found.

Nashu Mhakaracca: Oh, where could the inspector be...?

Hardiboiled: Chin up, dollface─the case ain't over yet, and I always get my man.
Hardiboiled: When the trail goes cold, the trick is to go back to the beginning. I want you to tell me the whole story again─and leave nothing out. No matter how unimportant it might seem.

Hardiboiled: So, you followed rumors of the flying disc which nabbed your friend, and that led you to the place where it most likely crashed down. Here.
Hardiboiled: You also think he was caught inside the dome when it appeared, and─from your perspective─went through thirty years in the blink of an eye? Sounds like crazy talk.
Hardiboiled: But I've seen enough strangeness in my line of work that I've learned to give clients the benefit of the doubt. And since we've got no leads on the man himself, I say we try jogging memories about the shiny starship instead.
Hardiboiled: We'll want to question older people native to your world who might have witnessed the original crash landing thirty years ago. Folks that age seem to enjoy parks...like the one outside the residential radii. Let's go.

===Optional Dialogue===
Nashu Mhakaracca: What a lovely place to interrogate our elders!

===Speak with Hardiboiled===
Hardiboiled: Old-timers aplenty, as promised. Pick a prune and get to it.

Nashu Mhakaracca: Oh, I still have that illustration I lent to you last time. Showing it around should help nudge some ancient noggins.
Nashu Mhakaracca: I added a sketch of the inspector's face to make things even easier!
Nashu Mhakaracca: I have another copy for myself, but that only makes two. Forename, you and Detective Hardiboiled will have to share.

Hardiboiled: We are talking three decades ago here, so having a picture should come in handy...even if the dame's work is on the same level as a finger-painting toddler's magnum opus.
Hardiboiled: Forename, was it? Well, you let me know when you're ready to bother some park-goers.

===Speak with Hardiboiled and have him accompany you===
Hardiboiled: Right, let's start showing that picture around then. Keep an eye out for older Hyune and Hhetsarro that might have hailed from outside the dome. Oh, and don't forget the Shetona.

====Small talk====
Hardiboiled: If this Hildibrand really does look like me... I look forward to meeting him in the flesh, if only to see if the resemblance is more than skin deep.

====Part ways====
Hardiboiled: Eh? Hell of a time to run personal errands, but I guess I can cool my heels in this disgustingly well-manicured grass until you get back.

Hardiboiled: Still got that picture handy, I hope? Remember: we're looking for old-timers of the Hyune, Hhetsarro, and Shetona persuasion.

====Discuss the vending machines====
Hardiboiled: Vending machines caught your eye? Yeah, you could buy yourself a coffee or an energy drink, but luxuries like that make you soft.
Hardiboiled: When I'm alone, walking through the darkest, dingiest parts of the city, I need something as weathered and weary as I am. I'll stick to my eggs, thanks.

====[[Middle-aged Hhetsarro Man]]====
Middle-aged Hhetsarro Man: May I help you...?

Middle-aged Hhetsarro Man: I'm sorry, but thirty years ago I was practically an infant. Far too young to remember much of anything.
Middle-aged Hhetsarro Man: That picture is very cute, though. Did your child draw it for you?

'''Optional Dialogue'''
Middle-aged Hhetsarro Man: No, nothing comes to mind, I'm afraid. Perhaps try asking someone who was a little older at the time...?

====[[Elderly Hyune Woman]]====
Elderly Hyune Woman: Hm? What can this old lady do for you?

Elderly Hyune Woman: Thirty years ago...? I honestly don't recall. My memories of that time are faded at best, my dears.
Elderly Hyune Woman: That is a lovely drawing of you, though, sir. Really captures your essence.

Hardiboiled: That slack-jawed mug? You gotta be kidding me...

'''Optional Dialogue'''
Elderly Hyune Woman: Such a long time ago. Such a long, long time ago...

====[[Elderly Hyune Man]]====
Elderly Hyune Man: What would you be wantin' with me, then?

Elderly Hyune Man: Can't say as I'm familiar with it. Ah, but I do remember three decades ago, when I was still in the bloom o' youth... Well, middle-age.
Elderly Hyune Man: Say, I remember you. The clever git who took back me phurble tonic from that thievin' whoreson! That was a good bit o' sleuthin', it was!

Hardiboiled: No need for all that, was just doing my job. Sorry to see that the tonic didn't do its job though...

Elderly Hyune Man: It's not about growin' me hair back. It's about the routine─about forty years of massagin' me scalp and baskin' in the same fragrant aromas every morning. Doesn't feel right to start the day without it.

Hardiboiled: Forty years of using an Everkeep-made product...? Ah, that's right. You're Alexandrian, born and bred, same as me. There's no way you could've seen the starship we're after. Sorry to bother you, sir.
Hardiboiled: Well, no one said it would be easy dredging up eyewitness accounts from so long ago. This is where grit and persistence comes into it.
Hardiboiled: I spied a Shetona fella heading towards the 9-14 radius. Hard to guess his age with how long they live, but who knows? Maybe we'll get lucky this time.

'''Optional Dialogue'''
Elderly Hyune Man: Yer workin' with one clever detective. I'm sure you'll find whatever it is yer lookin' for.

===Optional Dialogue===
Nashu Mhakaracca: This would have been thirty years ago, but did you happen to see a flying craft like the one in this picture...?

===Question the Shetona man of indeterminate age while Hardiboiled is accompanying you===
Shetona Man of Indeterminate Age: Lovely day, isn't it...?

Shetona Man of Indeterminate Age: Hrmmm, I'm not sure I recognize the man. Hard to tell with such a, uh, simple drawing.

Hardiboiled: Forget about the drawing. We're more interested in what you know about the flying disc.

Shetona Man of Indeterminate Age: Ah yes, the craft I ''do'' recall seeing. When I yet felt the sun upon my face. I was living a very different kind of life at the time...
Shetona Man of Indeterminate Age: It was during a hunt that I spotted it. Flying machines were a rare sight back then, so I remember it well, even now.

Hardiboiled: And do you remember where it was headed?

Shetona Man of Indeterminate Age: It appeared to crash somewhere in Yuweyawata, to the north. I was of a mind to seek out the wreckage, but then the dome suddenly appeared, and I had far, far stranger things to worry about.

Hardiboiled: There, what'd I tell you? Let's find your pal, Nashu, and share the good news.

===Optional Dialogue===
Shetona Man of Indeterminate Age: As I said, I believe your flying disc crashed down somewhere in the vicinity of Yuweyawata. If I hadn't been distracted by the dome, I wonder if I would have found it...

===Speak with Nashu while Hardiboiled is accompanying you (cutscene)===
Nashu Mhakaracca: No one seems to know anything about the starship. Did you fare any better?
Nashu Mhakaracca: So it came down somewhere near this You-wear-a-yukata place. I don't suppose either of you have been there before?

Hardiboiled: A research facility, you say? If some unidentified shiny object fell from the sky nearby, then I'd wager their people soon scooped it up.
Hardiboiled: It seems we have our destination. But how to get across the lake?

What will you say?
> We could ask a reforger.
> We could take a hover cargo.

< We could ask a reforger. >
Hardiboiled: A reforger...? Of course, they have those hover cargos. And I just so happen to know one of an accommodating disposition.

< We could take a hover cargo. >
Hardiboiled: That we could. The reforgers have a few, and I happen to know one of an accommodating disposition.

Hardiboiled: Right, that's our transportation sorted.
Hardiboiled: What I'm stuck on, though, is how you've already been to this Yuweyawata when I'm only just learning such a place even existed. What's your deal, anyway?

What will you say?
> I'm Forename, Agent of Adventure.
> I'm simply an ardent admirer of Inspector Hildibrand.

< I'm Forename, Agent of Adventure. >
Hardiboiled: You adventure for a living, is that it? Well, it's clear you're no fresh-faced mook.

< I'm simply an ardent admirer of Inspector Hildibrand. >
Hardiboiled: Can't imagine why anyone'd admire the man, at least from what you two have told me so far. Still, it's clear you're no fresh-faced mook.

Hardiboiled: Let's press on with the investigation. My reforger friend should have a hover cargo waiting for us at the driftdowns.

Nashu Mhakaracca: I better pack a dose of Nashu's Delights!

Hardiboiled: Those explosives of yours? Leave 'em behind. Don't need no dizzy dame blowing herself up on my watch─or me for that matter.

===Optional Dialogue===
Hardiboiled: This is the reforger pal I was telling you about. She keeps tabs on the Heritage Found scene and was a big help when I needed information for a case that spilled outside of Everkeep.

Nashu Mhakaracca: Cor, that's a big, watery lake!

===Speak with the accommodating reforger at the driftdowns===
Accommodating Reforger: I hear you need transport to Yuweyawata. The hover cargo is ready if you are...?

Travel to Yuweyawata? (yes/no)

Accommodating Reforger: If you need to head back to Yuweyawata, just say the word.

===Optional Dialogue===
Nashu Mhakaracca: They must like it dark in here!

===Speak with Hardiboiled in Yuweyawata===
Hardiboiled: This place is a mess, but I don't see any monsters roaming the halls, at least. Should be safe to split up and have a look around...

===Search for leads on the starship===
====Unlocked Cabinet Drawer====
System: Shuffling through the various documents in the cabinet, you find one entitled “Confidential Files Addendum 1.”

''Confidential Files Addendum 1: According to an associate native to these lands, the unidentified vessel we recovered near Yuweyawata had flown into the region not long before the dome manifested.''
''Confidential Files Addendum 1: Their testimony was corroborated by a thorough examination of the wreckage, which yielded not a single sliver of electrope. The vessel was, without a doubt, manufactured using technology fundamentally unlike our own.''
''Confidential Files Addendum 1: This mystery was further compounded by the discovery of a Hyune survivor within the craft. Despite the apparent force of the impact, the lone male occupant had sustained no visible injuries.''

====Scattered Documents====
System: Skimming through the various documents, you find one entitled “Confidential Files Addendum 2.”

''Confidential Files Addendum 2: The Hyune male we extracted from the wreckage is an abnormal specimen indeed. While physically unharmed and in clear possession of a soul, he yet remains in a comatose state.''
''Confidential Files Addendum 2: The absence of reaction to any and all external stimuli is indicative of temporal stasis. Every method we have attempted─be it electric shock, a hot bath, or a sharp slap across the face─has failed to wake the subject.''
''Confidential Files Addendum 2: Is his remarkable corporeal fortitude an innate natural quality, or was it acquired with the aid of unknown technology? My enthusiasm for this research knows no bounds.''

====Abandoned Clipboard====
System: The document held by the clipboard is entitled “Confidential Files Addendum 3.”

''Confidential Files Addendum 3: I cannot understate the incalculable potential I see in our mystery subject. If we could but unlock the secret of his preternatural resilience, then we would never again need risk the dangers inherent in the transfer of monstrous souls.''
''Confidential Files Addendum 3: While some of my colleagues insist that vivisection is our only recourse, such an extreme measure would mean forsaking the knowledge the man might impart to us regarding his equally intriguing flying vessel.''
''Confidential Files Addendum 3: For the time being, we have decided to suspend all research related to this subject. The specimen will be preserved in a bio-capsule in Sector 51 and placed under observation in the hopes that he will one day regain consciousness.''

===Optional Dialogue===
Nashu Mhakaracca: A lot of people being pickled in here, but Inspector Hildibrand isn't among them. Speaking of which, did you see where Detective Hardiboiled went...?

===Speak with Hardiboiled===
Hardiboiled: Forename. Sorry, something else in the records caught my attention, and it led me to a different floor.
Hardiboiled: Had to rustle up a verification key first, so I haven't spent any time on your starship mystery. Did you turn up anything yet?
Hardiboiled: They were keeping him in Sector 51? The key I found should let us access that area─let's grab your pal, Nashu, and head there now.

===Cutscene===
Nashu Mhakaracca: Inspector Hildibrand! There you are!

Hardiboiled: You two been yanking my chain? This clown doesn't look anything like me!
Hardiboiled: Well, ''opinions'' aside, we've located our man. A hard-boiled egg would really hit the spot right now...

Nashu Mhakaracca: Here, give this to the detective...

What will you say?
> From the lady.
> A present just for you.
> ...

Hardiboiled: Appreciate it.
Hardiboiled: I never could refuse the kindness of strangers...
Hardiboiled: These punks must be feeling lucky.

Hildibrand: There is no need for firearms nor fisticuffs. I shall resolve this altercation in a manner that behooves a gentleman!
Hildibrand: Attention, everyone! Follow my lead, if you please!
Hildibrand: Splendid, most splendid! Let us remember to always comport ourselves in a gentlemanly manner!
Hildibrand: I fear I may have overslept a trifle...
Hildibrand: But I, Hildibrand, well-rested agent of enquiry, now stand before you bright-eyed and bushy-tailed!
Hildibrand: By the by, who is this austere-looking fellow? A new admirer of mine, mayhap?

Nashu Mhakaracca: This is Detective Hardiboiled, your soul-twin from another world!

Hildibrand: Why, my dear Nashu, this man possesses nary a speck of my singular aplomb. He does not resemble me in the slightest.

Hardiboiled: I couldn't agree more. My sweet old grandmother has more grit in her pinky finger.

Nashu Mhakaracca: That's odd. Maybe I need new glasses, but the two of you seem practically identical...

Hardiboiled: The odd thing here is how you look too damn young for a fella who's been sleeping for thirty years...and don't get me started on how you charmed those shambling corpses. What kinda crime against nature are you?

Nashu Mhakaracca: The inspector has a very unique physique, for one. And as for the zombies, he's had an excellent rapport with them ever since his brief stint as an undead overlord extraordinaire!

Hardiboiled: That...raises more questions than answers. Still, we can consider your missing person case closed.
Hardiboiled: Which leaves me to chew on the “something else” that caught my attention earlier. I smell a new case brewing, and I mean to follow my nose...

Hildibrand: A case, you say? Then allow me to offer the services of Hildibrand, inspector extraordinaire!

Hardiboiled: “Undead overlord” seems more plausible to me at this juncture, but I'll bite. What does a fella like you even inspect?

Nashu Mhakaracca: Impenetrable mysteries and unsolved cases, of course!

Hardiboiled: So we're in the same business, eh? Makes me wonder how this gentleman act of yours actually helps you get the job done...

Hildibrand: I, too, am curious to see if beneath that leathery gumshoe exterior, you have the gumption to handle the truly difficult cases...

Hardiboiled: The dame... She's your assistant?

Nashu Mhakaracca: Loyal and steadfast!

Hardiboiled: I had an assistant once...
Hardiboiled: But now ain't the time to reminisce. We have a new case to work on.
Hardiboiled: This'll be just the thing to prove your sleuthing chops, “Inspector.” Let's get out of here and get down to brass tacks.

===Optional Dialogue===
Nashu Mhakaracca: I always have a spare set of the inspector's clothes on hand!

Hildibrand: Hildibrand, agent of enquiry and inspector extraordinaire, is up and full of beans!

==Steps==
* Question Landsguard soldiers at [[Brightploom Post]] with the help of the starship illustration.
* Speak with Nashu.
* Speak with Nashu again.
* Speak with an [[Outskirts Resident|outskirts resident]].
* Speak with the [[Mechanical Sentry|mechanical sentry]].
* Speak with Nashu.
* Gather information from [[True Vue]].
* Speak with Nashu.
* Speak with Nashu again.
* Speak with Nashu once more.

==Journal==
* Looking rather lost herself, Nashu Mhakaracca has come west in search of the missing inspector.
* Following a lead from the pages of ''The Thavnairian Truth'', Nashu Mhakaracca has come west in search of the once more involuntarily displaced inspector. Her tentative plan is to interrogate local residents for sightings of the errant starship in an attempt to divine the missing Manderville man's current location. To that end, she has handed you a visual aid─an illustration of said starship─and enlisted you to expand the range of the investigation. The Landsguard stationed at Brightploom Post may be best equipped to handle any questions regarding unusual airborne vessels.
* You have gathered some reliable starship sightings from the Landsguard. Nashu will wish to hear of your findings back at the markets.
* Although Nashu herself discovered little amongst the stalls of Bayside Bevy (aside from a taste for several local delicacies), she is impressed by your successful investigative efforts. Based on the information provided by the city guard, you move your search northwards to the dome-enclosed Heritage Found.
* Having arrived in the location where the starship supposedly went down, Nashu suggests shifting the focus to tracking down the inspector himself. Surely one of the residents has sighted your gentlemanly quarry?
* One resident of the outskirts insists that no man of Hildibrand's description would have escaped his notice in such a tight-knit community. Enamored by the suggestion to seek the inspector in “Solution” Nine, Nashu immediately makes her way over to the mechanical sentry at the tower's entrance.
* The sentry verifies your unlimited access to Everkeep, but sounds the alarm upon detecting materials of an explosive nature upon Nashu's person. Her subsequent nonsensical explanation appears to overload the logic circuits of every nearby unit, allowing you to enter Solution Nine without further challenge.
* Nashu reasons that the best way to find the inspector is to locate an ongoing case, for that is where a gentlemanly agent of enquiry is most likely to be. You head off to True Vue, the liveliest part of town, to ask after any potential incidents or mysteries.
* Your inquiries are met with the news of a recent theft which, conveniently for you, occurred not far from where you now stand. This sounds like just the kind of case Nashu was hoping for.
* Nashu, too, has heard the details of the robbery, and you both head off to the scene of the crime. There you witness the detective work of a man who very much resembles Inspector Hildibrand, though his garb and speech seem that of an entirely different person. Nashu is nevertheless confident that he is the missing inspector, theorizing that the man's ungentlemanly manner is the result of shock from the crash. Although adamant that a healthy dose of her “medicine” will put him to rights, she heeds your call for restraint and settles for following the man in the overcoat from a distance...for now.
* After foiling Nashu's first attempt to “treat” him, the man in the overcoat denies being any sort of gentleman inspector, instead introducing himself as Detective Hardiboiled. While a second round of treatment (this time disguised as a hard-boiled egg) confirms the characteristic uncanny Manderville indestructibility, his pulpy demeanor nevertheless remains unchanged. This fact, along with the physical resemblance, leads you to suspect he shares a soul with the Hildibrand of the Source. Though confused and a little disappointed, Nashu concedes that you likely have the wrong man. The detective, for his part, is intrigued by your talk of a missing person, and Nashu eagerly accepts his offer to work on the case.
* Nashu opts to curtail her own investigations for a time, still feeling overwhelmed by the futuristic city of Solution Nine. It seems you are free to return to your usual activities until Detective Hardiboiled makes a break in the case.

==Dialogue==
===Accepting the quest===
Nashu Mhakaracca: Why, hello there, Forename! Cor, how serendipitous that we should cross paths in this far-flung nation!
Nashu Mhakaracca: Have you come all this way to lend me a hand, because let me tell you─I could use the help!
Nashu Mhakaracca: You see, I've been doing my absolute darnedest to track down the inspector ever since Mister PuPu's starship whisked him off to gods only know where.
Nashu Mhakaracca: My best lead turned out to be ''The Thavnairian Truth''. Eyewitness accounts in the latest issue described a shiny craft headed west across the ocean, so I packed a few things and headed as far west as I was able...
Nashu Mhakaracca: This is where I ended up. I've made a few inquiries since my arrival, but I've mostly been acclimatizing myself to the native cuisine. Very important step, that.
Nashu Mhakaracca: Anyway, seeing as fate has sent you to assist me, I suppose it's time I continued questioning the locals on the matter of unidentified flying gentlemen.
Nashu Mhakaracca: Here, this should help aid in our investigations.
Nashu Mhakaracca: It's an illustration of the starship, clipped from Dorian's publication. Having this on hand should make it much easier to explain what we're looking for.
Nashu Mhakaracca: I'll ask around the markets hereabouts. As for you... Well, I've yet to venture beyond the food stalls, so practically anywhere else but here!
Nashu Mhakaracca: If you learn any useful information, come and find me around this spot. I'll be stuffing my...uh...ears with delicious...uh...intelligence.

System: It is the Landsguard's duty to remain vigilant for threats and unusual developments that may warrant their intervention. It may be prudent to visit Brightploom Post and question the soldiers.

===Optional Dialogue===
Nashu Mhakaracca: You should show that picture to the city guards and ask if they've sighted anything similar. I'll concentrate my efforts on the stallkeepers and their delicious offerings...of information!

===Question Landsguard soldiers at Brightploom Post with the help of the starship illustration===
====[[Mobeel Ja]]====
Mobeel Ja: Yes? Is there something I can help you with?
Mobeel Ja: Actually, I ''have'' seen a vessel like that. It was some time before Zoraal Ja's flying ships appeared...
Mobeel Ja: I watched it limp northwards through the skies above Tuliyollal, wobbling about like it might crash to the ground at any moment.

'''Optional Dialogue'''
Mobeel Ja: As I said, the vessel was flying north, but the way it was reeling about like a sailor drunk on mezcal, I don't imagine it stayed aloft much longer.

====[[Shcoahe]]====
Shcoahe: Searching for a strange ship, you say?
Shcoahe: Yes, I saw a flying disk just like that during a patrol in Shaaloani!
Shcoahe: It was slowly drifting towards the ground and seemed to come down somewhere in Yyasulani.
Shcoahe: If you're determined to find it, then that's where you should try next. ...What were they calling the place that's covered by the dome now? Heritage Found?

'''Optional Dialogue'''
Shcoahe: From what I could see, this ship of yours went down over in Yyasulani. I suggest you take a look around Heritage Found.

===Speak with Nashu (cutscene)===
Nashu Mhakaracca: My forays into the stalls bore no fruit at all! None starship-shaped, anyway. How was your harvest, then?
Nashu Mhakaracca: Those are some solid leads. Nice work, Forename.
Nashu Mhakaracca: So by the sounds of things, the ship was malfunctioning and eventually came down somewhere to the north of here.
Nashu Mhakaracca: With any luck, this “Hostage Found” you mentioned will be the place we find the inspector!

What will you say?
> I think you mean “Heritage Found”...
> I doubt it will be so simple. And certainly not without incident, knowing how matters involving the inspector tend to go.

Nashu Mhakaracca: Well, with you as my escort, I'm sure we'll arrive at the right spot eventually, and none the worse for wear! Shall we head off?

===Speak with Nashu again===
Nashu Mhakaracca: The air is all crackly and zappy!
Nashu Mhakaracca: This is where the starship supposedly came down, so let's start our search for the inspector.
Nashu Mhakaracca: Standard investigative procedure dictates that we question the residents for possible gentleman sightings. Off we go!

===Optional Dialogue===
Nashu Mhakaracca: Aha! This man could be a potential witness!

===Speak with an outskirts resident===
Outskirts Resident: This is a small settlement and all its inhabitants are known to me. If a man of such distinctive appearance and demeanor were among us, I'm sure I would have noticed.
Outskirts Resident: Perhaps he's wandering around somewhere inside Solution Nine? They have so many more people, he could easily go unnoticed in the crowds.
Outskirts Resident: You were here as Queen Sphene's guest, as I recall. If your companion wishes to enter the city as well, then I suggest you make arrangements with the sentry at the tower entrance.

Nashu Mhakaracca: Ooh, ''Solution'' Nine! That sounds promising! Thank you for the tip!

===Optional Dialogue===
Outskirts Resident: I'm afraid your friend won't be entering Solution Nine unless you can convince the sentry to let her in.

===Speak with the mechanical sentry (cutscene)===
Mechanical Sentry: Visitor detected. Verifying access rights... Unlimited Everkeep access confirmed.
Mechanical Sentry: Scanning unregistered visitor...
Mechanical Sentry: Warning! Warning! Explosive device detected! Entry denied!

Nashu Mhakaracca: I am not carrying explosives. This is medicine for treating Inspector Hildibrand's condition!

Mechanical Sentry: Explosive...medicinal...compounds...?
Mechanical Sentry: Error! Does not compute...

Nashu Mhakaracca: It's really quite simple. Inspector Hildibrand was sucked up by Mister PuPu's malfunctioning starship, after which it proceeded to drag him thousands of malms away and deposit him here. Ergo, you need to let me pass so I can blow away his brain cobwebs!

Mechanical Sentry: Error... Logic circuits overloading... Emergency shutdown initiated.

Nashu Mhakaracca: Huh, it must be nap time. I guess we can just go in!

===Speak with Nashu===
Nashu Mhakaracca: Cor, that's a good-sized city!
Nashu Mhakaracca: Well, there's one sure way of locating the inspector in a place like this: if there's an ongoing case, then that's where he'll be!
Nashu Mhakaracca: Let's head to the lively part of town and look into any nefarious incidents, shall we? Uh...do you know which is the lively part?
Nashu Mhakaracca: “True Vue”? And that's in the eastern sector, you say? Right then, let's get to it!

===Optional Dialogue===
Nashu Mhakaracca: Oooh, you don't say? And then what happened...?

===Gather information from True Vue===
====[[Forthright Hyune]]====
Forthright Hyune: ...What, like a crime? Hmm. Now that you mention it, I did hear about a theft recently.
Forthright Hyune: Our city is peaceful, by and large, but anywhere you have a lot of people, incidents like these are bound to occur.

'''Optional Dialogue'''
Forthright Hyune: Despite this recent robbery, the residents of Solution Nine are a law-abiding folk...or so I'd like to think.

====[[Philomon]]====
Philomon: A case, huh? I've heard talk of an odd, squealing creature of some sort, but I don't know if that's the kind of thing you're looking for.

'''Optional Dialogue'''
Philomon: “Odd creature” leaves rather a lot to the imagination, doesn't it? I wonder what they meant by “squealing”...?

====[[Laid-back Milalla]]====
Laid-back Milalla: Recent troubles? I saw a pair of soldiers mobilizing not moments earlier. Responding to a disturbance, it seems.
Laid-back Milalla: I don't think it was far from here, but I'm a bit hazy on the details...

'''Optional Dialogue'''
Laid-back Milalla: Sorry I can't give you more specific directions...

===Speak with Nashu===
Nashu Mhakaracca: Oh, I also heard about that theft! Something was stolen from a nearby tavern, apparently.
Nashu Mhakaracca: I got directions to the scene of the crime, so let's head over together!

===Cutscene===
Tavernkeep: The thief absconded with an aged bottle of spirits─the most expensive one in my establishment! I demand you find this criminal at once!

Gravelly Voice: No need to get all hot and bothered. The culprit is right under your nose...

Man in Overcoat: Admit it, punk! You pinched the hooch!

Tavern Worker: M-Me!? But why would you think─

Man in Overcoat: With the supply of souls cut off, folks with a habit have turned to black market rackets...and luxury goods of dubious provenance is one way of paying the asking price.
Man in Overcoat: A top-shelf bottle of juice would make for a fine trade, I'd say.
Man in Overcoat: By the by, you know there's a method for identifying contraband souls? Your regulator logs would tell the tale.
Man in Overcoat: Don't wanna let us check 'em? Be my guest. I took a gander at the cabinet where the bottle was stored, and the lock showed obvious signs of tampering.
Man in Overcoat: Electro-picking tools are awful hard to handle, aren't they? Most amateurs get singed, but you─you've got scorch marks all over your mitts.
Man in Overcoat: Give it up, kid! We've got you dead to rights!

Tavern Worker: After they suspended soul provisions, I couldn't stop worrying about the future. It was...a moment of weakness.

Man in Overcoat: Save it for the authorities. Take him away, boys.

Nashu Mhakaracca: That was Inspector Hildibrand...wasn't it?

What will you say?
> He didn't look very gentlemanly...
> He didn't sound very gentlemanly...

Nashu Mhakaracca: He must still be in shock after the starship's crash landing. A healthy dose of Nashu's Delights will put him to rights!

What will you say?
> Uh, maybe not in such a populated area...
> Let's make absolutely sure it's him first, shall we?

Nashu Mhakaracca: Hrm, I suppose that would be the responsible course of action...
Nashu Mhakaracca: Come on, we should hurry along before we lose sight of this ungentlemanly Hildibrand.

===Speak with Nashu again===
Nashu Mhakaracca: He walked thataway. Or it was more of a mosey?

===Cutscene===
Nashu Mhakaracca: Hmmm, he ''looks'' like the inspector, but he's a touch old. And mopey...
Nashu Mhakaracca: Thirty years passed inside the dome!? Then if Inspector Hildibrand was here when it happened...that would put him in his fifties!
Nashu Mhakaracca: He must have been living here so long that he's forgotten everything about his previous life... Luckily, I have just the thing to jog his memory!

Man in Overcoat: Think I wouldn't notice such an obvious tail...?
Man in Overcoat: I don't know what your game is, but bombs ain't toys. Best put 'em away before you hurt someone. Or yourself.
Man in Overcoat: Like me, I see neither of you are sporting regulators, so I suggest you be more careful with the only lives you've got.

Nashu Mhakaracca: Sir, don't you remember us? You're Hildibrand! Agent of enquiry! Gentleman inspector extraordinaire!

Man in Overcoat: I've been called a lot of things, but nothing so insulting as a gentleman...
Man in Overcoat: I'm a weathered old fool with too many debts and regrets...
Hardiboiled: Detective Hardiboiled.

Nashu Mhakaracca: Very impressive! But even with that name and those odd clothes, you might as well be the inspector's older, more wrinkled twin!

Hardiboiled: Hate to break it to you, but you're barking up the wrong tree.

Nashu Mhakaracca: You seem awfully fond of those hard-boiled eggs. Here, this one's on me!

Hardiboiled: Thanks, dollface. You're a peach.
Hardiboiled: Whew, that's one way to cure a hangover. You got me good.

Nashu Mhakaracca: Hrm, maybe we really ''do'' have the wrong person. That indestructibility is awfully Manderville-like, though.

What will you say?
> I've seen a few cases of this “twin person” phenomenon in the dome.
> It might be someone who shares the same soul as Hildibrand.

Nashu Mhakaracca: I'm not sure what's going on here, but I can see that you're not who I thought you were...and that we need to keep searching.

Hardiboiled: A missing person, is it? If that's the rub, you can leave the sleuthing to me.

Nashu Mhakaracca: Oh, we could really use your help!

Hardiboiled: By the sounds of things, this fella looks a lot like me. What did you say his name was? Phildigrand?
Hardiboiled: I'll find him, don't you worry. I can feel a hunch coming on already...

Nashu Mhakaracca: Are we ''sure'' that isn't the inspector?

===Speak with Nashu once more===
Nashu Mhakaracca: I'd like to rush off and do some investigative work of my own, but this city still has my head spinning. I think I'll wait and see if this Detective Hardiboiled is as good as he seems.
Nashu Mhakaracca: Meanwhile, you should get back to whatever it is that famous adventurers do when they're not embroiled in one of our fantastical cases!

===Cutscene===
Hardiboiled: The dame had me looking for a needle in a neon-lit haystack. A city with an allergy to sleep.
Hardiboiled: This twin of mine had well and truly lost himself. The trail was colder than the ice at the bottom of my glass.
Hardiboiled: But I could smell it in the air, like the cloying stench of cheap perfume. A conspiracy...
Hardiboiled: Stay tuned for further episodes of Detective Hardiboiled.

Nashu Mhakaracca: The inspector has finally set foot upon the Dawntrail! Get ready for Inconceivably Further Hildibrand Adventures!
Nashu Mhakaracca: Who knows what his case will be this time!? When it happens─whatever happens─you'll be there on the scene!

===Optional Dialogue===
Nashu Mhakaracca: Detective Hardiboiled has taken the Case of the Displaced Inspector, so for the moment we wait to see what he digs up. I'm sure there'll be plenty for us to do when the clues start to pour in!

==Journal==
* Ronitt looks primed to fire a particularly cheery dwarven greeting in your general direction.

* Following the roaring success of the Rolling Tankards, Ronitt is planning to host a small gathering of those who have contributed to Watts's Anvil. Rather than asking you to visit the far reaches of Norvrandt, extending personal invitations to each guest one by one, he saves you the trouble by volunteering to do the legwork himself, and asks only that you wait for him in Clearmelt with Lorathia.
** ※Please note that the difficulty of this quest has been synced to your current level. Furthermore, you may not proceed with a class or job that is different from when you accepted this quest.

* The guests arrive and are plied with Norvrandt's finest cuisine, while those partial to ale drink far more than is sensible. Regitt and Karutt offer some slurred words of gratitude and say their farewells before they can sully the clear waters of Clearmelt with the contents of their stomachs.

* Eueliss and Sai-Lewq express their thanks to you and Ronitt for helping to restore Wright to some semblance of its former glory. Due to your efforts, their fields are capable of producing the barley used in their traditional ale. Now their first batch in years has been successfully brewed, allowing them to share the fruits of their labors, which certain guests have been imbibing rather liberally.

* Ozogg reveals that you have inspired her to lead her own life, free from the rules and traditions of the Gogg. In a quite literally bare-faced display of defiance, she removes her helmet, and in so doing makes herself an outcast from her village. Though she pledges her allegiance to Watts's Anvil, she is more determined than ever to outdo Ronitt and claim the heirloom of their shared ancestor.

* Upon returning to Watts's Anvil, Ronitt makes no attempt to conceal his distaste at what he considers the utmost indecency on the part of Ozogg, an act viewed with scorn by Tholl and Gogg alike. Nevertheless, it seems their destinies are intrinsically entwined as their mutual rivalry spurs them to push the boundaries of dwarven engineering. The citizens of Norvrandt, meanwhile, stand to benefit a great deal as a result of this friendly competition.

==Journal==
* There once was a dwarf named Ronitt
:A boy with a bee in his bonnet.
:He had agreed to a bet
:He would come to regret,
:Unless, of course, he actually won it.

* The wager with Chief Xamott has prompted several Tholls to return to Tomra for fear of banishment in the event that Ronitt fails. He must produce five Rolling Tankards by the designated day, which is becoming increasingly unlikely as his workforce diminishes. He decides to take a stroll, ostensibly to clear his head, but through a rather obvious attempt at reverse psychology, he strongly implies that he wants you to follow him.
** ※Please note that the difficulty of this quest has been synced to your current level. Furthermore, you may not proceed with a class or job that is different from when you accepted this quest.

* Ronitt's plan to lure you away from the Anvil has worked, and he can now air his concerns without the other dwarves overhearing. He reveals that he is finding the burden of responsibility too much to bear, and turns to you for advice. Your words of wisdom soon lift his spirits, but it is the surprise arrival of Regitt, Karutt, and Ronitt's dwarven relations protocol automaton, the Megasonic Frogboy, that make the biggest difference. While his friends offer their support, the Frogboy provides Ronitt with a hint as to how they might turn their fortunes around.

* Back at Watts's Anvil, you are met by Ozogg, who had briefly disappeared in order to round up acquaintances of Ronitt's to assist with producing the tanks. Ronitt also has plans of his own, though he will wait until all of the pieces of the puzzle are in place before revealing exactly what those plans might be.

* You are presented with an opportunity to flex your crafting muscles once more. Ronitt asks you to produce yet another crate of essential supplies while he and his comrades take care of the rest.

* The Fetchomatic Mechatoad, infallible as always, produces from its metallic belly the materials required for your work. By your dexterous hands they will be reborn as essential components in...whatever it is that Ronitt's unfathomable genius has conjured up.

* After a flurry of activity, Ronitt's latest creation is completed. He has incorporated his existing automaton technology into a mechanized factory, which he claims will increase the speed at which the remaining tanks may be produced. While this does raise the question of how exactly this was a more effective use of time and resources than simply repeating the steps used to create the prototype, it seems the general consensus is to go along with Ronitt's schemes, regardless of how absurd they may be.

* The newly constructed automated factory whirs into life and the tanks approach completion. However, the day of reckoning has arrived, and it appears that Ronitt's efforts may have been too little, too late. Ozogg believes there is no other option but to delay the arrival of Chief Xamott to allow Ronitt time to finish his work before final judgment can be passed.

* Ozogg intends to slow the advance of Chief Xamott by placing kegs of nitrobrew, a ludicrously potent alcoholic beverage, in his path. Knowing that dwarves cannot say no to a drink, she hopes that it will incapacitate him for long enough to allow Ronitt to put the finishing touches to the tanks. She tasks you with positioning the barrels, and while it is unclear why she needs your cooperation in the first place, time is of the essence, so you decide not to argue.

* With the kegs of nitrobrew now in place, you must return to Ozogg's hiding place and await the arrival of Chief Xamott. With no idea of exactly when he is supposed to make his appearance, you may be here for some time.

* Chief Xamott arrives as predicted, although he is for some reason accompanied by his archrival, Chief Glagg of the Gogg. Presumably, he has come expecting to see Ronitt fail the challenge and to admonish Ozogg for her involvement. Instead, they find themselves distracted by the allure of a powerful ale, prompting them to collapse into a drunken stupor. Though the limits of their dwarven constitution are sorely tested, they eventually awaken, and Ronitt is still nowhere to be seen. Xamott is ready to declare the wager has come to an end when Ronitt and his column of five tanks trundle onto the scene, much to the relief of you and Ozogg. Xamott congratulates Ronitt on passing the test, which he then uses as an opportunity to regale those in attendance with the tale of the great Watts.

* It seems that the Tholl and Gogg were once part of the same tribe, and it was disputes over how best to use Watts's automata that caused the schism between them. His remaining designs were locked away, only for Ronitt to open the safe generations later using a coin given to him as a child by none other than Ozogg. This coming together of Tholl and Gogg may very well mark a turning point in the history of the two tribes, though only time will tell. Xamott and Glagg bid their farewells while the rest of you return to the Anvil.

* The day is won, but Ronitt is not one to rest on his laurels. He knows full well that it will take more than five tanks to ease the world's woes, so he proposes that production continue. While the workshop is now fully outfitted with an automaton workforce, Ronitt still has need of your crafting talents in manufacturing the next batch of Rolling Tankards.

==Trivia==
* The quest description is in the form of a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limerick_(poetry) limerick], which can be combined with a refrain (repeated lyrics, also known as a chorus) to form a limerick song, which is a traditional drinking song. This likely references the dwarves' tendency to drink, and to sing while doing so.

==Journal==
* Beneath Ronitt's thick beard hides a self-satisfied grin.

* The newly completed Rolling Tankard prototype has been put through its paces, and a lack of screaming and charred earth indicates the final test run was successful. The next step is to produce more tanks, and for that, Ronitt requires a larger workshop. He calls a meeting with the other members of Watts's Anvil, but their talks are interrupted by the sudden appearance of Chief Xamott of the Tholl and Chief Glagg of the Gogg. Quite how these archrivals suffered each other's company long enough to reach Lakeland is unclear, but their ire for Ronitt and Ozogg's disobedience is palpable. Not only have aspiring inventors broken the strict code of their respective tribes, but they have each been accused of perpetrating heinous crimes. Ozogg of sharing Gogg technology with the Tholl, and Ronitt of stealing Watts's designs without permission, an act punishable by banishment. Although Ronitt is able to convince his chief of the importance of the Rolling Tankards, he is given an ultimatum: complete five tanks by the next Beardtide festival or he and the other Tholls will be sent back to Tomra. What's more, he must forfeit Watts's hammer should he fail. Such a grim prospect fails to dampen his determination, and he readily accepts the wager.
** ※Please note that the difficulty of this quest has been synced to your current level. Furthermore, you may not proceed with a class or job that is different from when you accepted this quest.

* Ronitt has planned a number of improvements to Watts's Anvil, and he calls on your crafting skills once more. He even has the nerve to demand no less than absolute perfection despite the urgent need to complete the work as quickly as possible.

* After obtaining the necessary materials from inside the Fetchomatic Mechatoad, you put your mind to the task at hand.

* Though Ronitt expresses his thanks for your hard work, he is distracted by the absence of Ozogg, who he has not seen since the visit from their respective chiefs. He is perhaps a little too quick to point out his lack of concern for her well-being, stating he simply wishes to know if there is something that might present a problem. As she is unlikely to share her thoughts with a Tholl, he asks that you go and question her in his stead.

* It seems Ozogg had only gone to survey the proposed site for the upcoming tank demonstration to ensure that nothing will prevent Ronitt from passing Xamott's test. With no prying eyes or ears to hear, she confesses her resolve to never return home, making any punishment from her elders─even the threat of banishment similar to Ronitt─a matter of little concern. All she cares about is carrying on with her engineering, which has been her lifelong passion. She then goes on to share her childhood memories of meeting Ronitt as a boy and their all-too-brief encounter and her giving him a Gogg coin as a token of their friendship. Though Ronitt was too young to remember, Ozogg has fond recollections of that day, and her work at Watts's Anvil reminds her of the simple joy of crafting that she felt all those years ago. Though she insists that she is only here to challenge Ronitt as rightful heir to Watts's hammer, it seems that this may be merely a pretext for her to spend time with like-minded individuals. As you have agreed not to relate her tale to Ronitt and the others, you decide to return to the Anvil and give a condensed and carefully selected account of your talk with Ozogg.

* Your retelling of the conversation with Ozogg seems to appease Ronitt, whose main concern is whether she will continue to help with construction of the remaining Rolling Tankards. Now that the workshop is equipped for mass production, the dwarves face a race against time to complete the tanks before Beardtide arrives.

==Trivia==
*Ozogg's remark about making the wrong type of copper rings is a reference to the [[Goldsmith]] class quest {{questlink|feature|Throw Some Rings on It}}. That quest has a translation issue that frequently confuses players into making the wrong item, {{item icon|Copper Ring}}, instead of {{item icon|Copper Rings}}.

==Walkthrough==
The correct dialogue options are:

1. Transport goods in a safe manner
2. Controlled by automaton
3. Dwarven law prohibits that
4. Excitement

==Steps==
*Speak with [[Ronitt]].
*Speak with [[Lorathia]].
*Speak with [[Lorathia]] again.
*Speak with [[Rosard]] in [[the Crystarium]].
*Speak with [[Ronitt]] at [[Watts's Anvil]].
*Obtain [[Crystal Cannon Materials|materials]] from the Fetchomatic Mechatoad.
*Synthesize [[Crystal Cannon Supplies|crystal cannon supplies]]. 0/1
*Deliver the crystal cannon supplies to [[Ronitt]]. 1/1

==Journal==
* Ronitt appears to have something in his eye. You cannot be certain because of his helmet, but it may be a twinkle.

* The next essential piece of the Rolling Tankard prototype is its cannon, though Ronitt is unsure how best to proceed. He comes to the conclusion that utilizing condensed aether should prove effective in combating sin eaters, although this is a field in which none of the dwarves present have any experience. Regitt recommends seeking the advice of Lorathia, who was once an engineer at the Crystarium.
** ※Please note that the difficulty of this quest has been synced to your current level. Furthermore, you may not proceed with a class or job that is different from when you accepted this quest.

* Ronitt arrives in Clearmelt to ask Lorathia whether she has any knowledge of aether-based weaponry. Fate conspires once again to bless him with outrageous fortune when Lorathia reveals she is in fact the very person who designed the crystal cannons that line the Crystarium. However, rather than go into any further details regarding this, Lorathia instead invites you to a tea party with her two friends, Iriolva and Cobleva. These elderly twins own merchant caravans that deliver goods across Norvrandt, and they are looking for a way to fend off sin eaters. Lorathia points out that this is an opportunity for Ronitt to secure buyers for his tanks, although his lack of social decorum requires that you be on hand to guide him through this informal exchange.

* The tea party ends with both twins expressing a keen interest in Ronitt's creations, although they will need to see the final product in action before they commit to a purchase.

* Lorathia gives you a letter of introduction to speak with Rosard in the Crystarium. She is confident he can assist in designing the tank's cannon, though it is still unclear whether you will need to jump through any more proverbial hoops before he agrees to help.

* Rosard is eager to support you and Ronitt in your endeavors, and provides you with the blueprints to the Crystarium's crystal cannons. While your dwarven companion is taken aback by the unexpected show of generosity, Rosard explains that he is acting in accordance with Lorathia's wishes, as stated in her letter.

* Back at Watts's Anvil, Ronitt asks you to craft some of the cannon's components, as described in the blueprints. As before, his automaton somehow has the exact materials required stored in its metallic belly, though this miraculous ability to produce precisely what is needed at any given moment should come as no surprise by now.

* With the necessary materials at your disposal, you are ready to fulfill Ronitt's order. But will your attempt to assist Ronitt end in triumph or bitter failure?

* Mastery of your craft has ensured you seized victory rather than bitter defeat. As is customary, Ronitt downplays your achievement, though delight is clear on his face. Or would be, if one could see it. Although the prototype Rolling Tankard is ready for its first test run, Ronitt will still require your aid with other miscellaneous tasks in preparation for the next stage of his master plan: mass production.

==Journal==
* Ronitt has overlooked something rather important.

* With the prototype Rolling Tankard nearing completion, it dawns on Ronitt that he has yet to find a suitable fuel to power it, and he gathers his comrades for an exchange of ideas. Their discussion has barely begun when they notice the presence of a mysterious interloper─Ozogg of the Gogg, one of their archrivals. She claims to be descended from Watts, much like Ronitt, to whom she issues a challenge: a test of engineering skill, with rightful claim to Watts's hammer at stake. Ronitt eventually accepts, but on the condition that Ozogg wait until he has finished work on the Rolling Tankard prototype. Having overheard their discussion of fuel, Ozogg offers her village's secret formula to expedite their upcoming showdown, but only if she is supplied with booze beforehand. Much to her dismay, the other dwarves inform her they have no ale to share, nor the means to produce any. Ozogg offers to oversee the construction of a brewery and appoints you as her assistant. Like most present, Ronitt finds this sequence of events absolutely baffling, but if the end result is fuel for his work and workers both, he is all for it.
** ※Please note that the difficulty of this quest has been synced to your current level. Furthermore, you may not proceed with a class or job that is different from when you accepted this quest.

* Ozogg puts you in charge of crafting some of the basic components for the brewery, the materials for which can apparently be found in Ronitt's automaton.

* Despite Ronitt and his comrades having no intention whatsoever of constructing a brewery, the exact materials needed for essential components have already been gathered by the Fetchomatic Mechatoad. You can only hope that fulfilling Ozogg's order will absolve you of any further involvement in her schemes.

* With the final parts of the brewing apparatus now in place, the dwarves waste no time in producing their first batch of grog and drinking themselves into a stupor. Meanwhile, Ozogg stands back to admire her handiwork.

* Ronitt is eager for Ozogg to keep her part of the bargain and reveal the Gogg fuel formula. She then catches him completely off guard by stating that she has already built a fully functioning ethanol mill to produce the fuel he requires. Ronitt, try as he might, cannot conceal his delight at the latest addition to the facilities and offers Ozogg his thanks, before also thanking you, though far less begrudgingly.

==Journal==
* A Tomran dwarf finds himself far from home. Far by Tomran standards, that is.

* Regitt has made the arduous─but not especially long─journey to Wright in search of Ronitt, the young engineering prodigy whom you once taught to lali-ho. It seems that he has set his sights on the Crystarium, where he hopes to track you down, for reasons that are as yet unclear. You kindly agree to accompany Regitt and unravel the mysteries surrounding Ronitt's sudden departure.
** ※Please note that the difficulty of this quest has been synced to your current level. Furthermore, you may not proceed with a class or job that is different from when you accepted this quest.

* You and Regitt eventually come across a Crystarium guard who claims to have seen a dwarf not too long ago, over at the Crystalline Mean. Wasting no time, you decide to pursue your one and only lead as to Ronitt's whereabouts.

* Ronitt is, as Regitt had predicted, cowering in a corner, seemingly overwhelmed by the presence of so many “big folk” in one place. Before long, Katliss of the Mean comes to make the acquaintance of the two dwarves, which in turn prompts Ronitt to reveal why he has journeyed to the Crystarium. Until recently, he was under the impression that you were little more than a passing traveler. Having been informed of your heroic achievements, however, he is now determined to perform great deeds of his own, so as not to be outdone by you, his dear friend. As he cannot hope to compete with you in terms of martial prowess, he instead hopes to improve the lives of the various peoples of the realm through his skills as an engineer. Much to his surprise─and no small amount of chagrin─you reveal that you too have an affinity for crafting, to which Ronitt responds by suggesting that the two of you cooperate in helping the Crystalline Mean. Katliss explains that roving sin eaters have taken to attacking merchant caravans of late, and she is looking for a means of transporting their goods across Lakeland without placing the traders at risk. Ronitt toys with the idea of using his existing line of automata as a possible solution, but comes to the conclusion that major improvements must be carried out, necessitating the need for a large and fully furnished workshop. Katliss then offers the use of an area in Lakeland once designated to the Mean, though you will first need to gain the permission of Lorathia, the land owner, who is known to frequent the baths at Clearmelt.

* Ronitt and Regitt get off to a bumpy start with Lorathia, who is not one to tolerate any of their endearing dwarven impertinence. Upon hearing of the plan to upgrade Ronitt's automata, she immediately dismisses the idea, as the current design lacks both the storage capacity for transporting cargo and the weaponry needed to fend off sin eaters. It then dawns on Ronitt that he has been carrying the solution about his person the entire time, and produces from his pocket a blueprint for a tanklike vehicle originally designed by his ancestor and famed engineer, Watts, which he aptly dubbed the “Rolling Tankard.” With room inside for large quantities of goods and a cannon capable of dealing with threats from a distance, all that remains is to actually build one. A task easier said than done, it would seem, as the designs do not show any of its inner workings. Not one to be discouraged, Ronitt claims he will be able to employ modern techniques to finish what would have been impossible in Watts's day. Lorathia eventually caves in and allows the use of her land, mainly out of curiosity, as she too was once an engineer. Ronitt goes ahead to survey the site of the new workshop, with automaton in tow, while Regitt heads back to Tomra to recruit volunteers to assist in building the tanks.

* The plot of land on which you and Ronitt will build the workshop has promise, but there is much to be done before tank production can begin. There are a number of basic supplies that must be procured, though thankfully, Ronitt has already had his automaton gather some raw materials. Eager to see your artisanal skills in practice, he tasks you with putting together the first essential pieces of what will eventually become the workshop.

* With the workshop─now known as Watts's Anvil─complete and Regitt returned from Tomra with a host of dwarven assistants, the complicated task of designing and constructing a prototype tank can begin. Your role will initially be to lend Regitt a hand in crafting various parts and materials, while Ronitt channels his engineering prowess into his next masterpiece.

==Dialogue==
====Optional====
'''Eueliss:''' All by himself? I can't see that ending well...

'''Sai-Lewq:''' That's...unexpected, to say the least.

===Accepting the Quest (Cutscene)===
'''Affable Townsdwarf:''' >> Bugger my beard! You scared the life out of me! <<
'''Affable Townsdwarf:''' Phew... For a moment, I thought you were a hobgoblin. Seems being so far from Tomra has got me jumping at shadows. Hold on. I know you...
'''Regitt:''' You're the one who was helping Ronitt! As for me, the name's Regitt. I forgot to introduce myself before, but I was there when that off little lad gave his first proper lali-ho. What? You don't remember me?

'''Sai-Lewq:''' In all fairness, the fact you're covered from head to toe in identical outfits ''does'' make it a little difficult to tell one dwarf from the next...

'''Eueliss:''' Well, they have their ways and we have ours. Anyway, it's wonderful to see you again, Forename. Regitt was just asking us for directions.

'''Regitt:''' I'd almost forgotten about that! Actually, I was on my way to...what was it called? Crystaltown? No, no, that's not it. Something to do with crystals... Gah! Why can't I remember the sodding name!?

'''Eueliss:''' You see, Ronitt is nowhere to be found. He did leave a note behind in Tomra, though.

'''Regitt:''' Yes! The letter! I have it right here.

'''Ronitt's Letter:''' To whoever might be concerned,
I am off to the Crystarium to find my first and best friend, [Forename].
'''Ronitt's Letter:''' If the chief asks where I've gone, just make something up. The automata will take care of my work, so he should have no reason to complain. Oh, and don't forget to feed them while I'm away! With coal, that is.
Bye!

'''Regitt:''' That's what it says, anyway. That boy may have mastered the fine art of a good, old-fashioned lali-ho, but that won't get him very far in the...Crystarea, or whatever it's called.

'''Sai-Lewq:''' Yes, and even if the opening pleasantries go as planned, it's what comes after that matters most. He'd be the first to admit that polite conversation isn't exactly his forte...

'''Eueliss:''' Since he went there looking for [Forename], maybe the two of you could go and find him before he gets into─or causes─any trouble.

'''Regitt:''' That reminds me, will Ronitt being away lead to any difficulties in the “rock phosphate for grog” arrangement between our villages?

'''Eueliss:''' The Orehound Ogre he built seems to be going about its work as normal, even without him here to operate it, so I think we'll be fine for the time being.

'''Regitt:''' All right, that settles it. We're off to find Ronitt! Although, I should probably point out that this is actually the first time I've gone more than a malm or so outside of Tomra. I'm counting on you, so please try to keep the mishaps and misadventure to a bare minimum!
'''Regitt:''' Not that I'm scared, mind you! Ho ho, not one bit... Ahem! Without any further ado, let's make haste for the Crystaforium!

'''Eueliss:''' And we wish you both a safe journey to the ''Crystarium''! Hee hee!

====Optional====
'''Eueliss:''' I must admit, I don't envy you having to keep an eye on not one, but two dwarves in a place like the Crystarium. Who knows what sort of trouble they'll get into?

'''Sai-Lewq:''' I have a feeling it won't take long to find him. For better or worse, dwarves have a habit of drawing attention wherever they go!

'''Cheery Guard:''' Another dwarf? Or is it the same one I saw before?

===Speaking with Regitt in the Crystarium===
'''Regitt:''' I've never seen so many people in one place! Unfortunately, not one of them is our errant engineer.
'''Regitt:''' Where could he be? I wouldn't be surprised if he's whimpering in some corner, wishing he'd never come here. With all these big folk walking about, he's probably scared one of them'll trip over him!

'''Cheery Guard:''' Well, slap my arse and call me a phooka! You're the second honest-to-gods dwarf I've seen tonight!

'''Regitt:''' Really!? So, where was the first?

'''Cheery Guard:''' Over at the Mean, playing hide-and-seek by the looks of it. Or maybe he was just lost?

'''Regitt:''' That's him, it's got to be! Come on, [Forename], let's go and nab him before he runs off again.

'''(Optional)'''
'''Cheery Guard:''' I remember when dwarves were just something you'd only hear about in stories. But now, I'm seeing them all over the place!

===Speaking with Regitt===
'''Regitt:''' So, this is the Mean, eh? From the name, I thought it'd be full of scowling faces, but they all seem quite friendly. Anyway, where'd Ronitt get to?
'''Regitt:''' Ha! Found him!

====Cutscene====
'''Ronitt:''' So many of them... So soddin' tall... I wish [Forename] were here!

'''Ronitt's Automaton:''' <beep> [Forename] detected.

'''Ronitt:''' >> [Forename]! <<

'''Walden:''' Oi! Watch it, short arse!

'''Katliss:''' So, when you heard that [Forename] is staying in the Crystarium, you came here looking for [him/her]? That's quite the journey for one so young.

'''Ronitt:''' Gettin' here was easy! Startin' conversation's what's hard. Every time I try givin' someone a good, ol'-fashioned lali-ho, they look at me like I'm daft or somethin'!

'''Regitt:''' Never mind all that─you found [Forename] in the end. Or he found ''you'', more like. Come to think of it, why were you looking for him in the first place?

'''Ronitt:''' It's simple, really. I always thought [Forename] was just a...I dunno, helpful traveler or some such, but the chief tells me he's a hero who risked life and limb to save the world!
'''Ronitt:''' When I heard that, I thought that it's only right that I do the same! Trouble is, I'm not sure where to start. But I'm not goin' back to Tomra until I find a way to prove myself your equal!
'''Ronitt:''' And while I'm not much of a fighter, there are other ways I can help those in need. Because unlike the rest of my village, who can't think beyond their next pint of ale, I've got big dreams! Ambitions!

'''Regitt:''' Now, now. There's nothing wrong with a well-earned drink or ten after a hard day's work, but that's besides the point. How can you hope to compete with someone like [Forename]?

'''Ronitt:''' You might be known as the greatest warrior the world's ever seen...
'''Ronitt:''' But there's one thing I can do better than you: craftin'!

'''< What will you say? >'''
'''< Ha! I'm a crafter too, you fluffy-bearded nincompoop! >'''
'''< Actually, I've been known to dabble in artisanry myself. >'''

'''(Both)'''
'''Ronitt:''' Whaaat!? You must be joking!

'''(If been working on the Crystalline Mean)'''
'''Katliss:''' Why, [Forename] has been putting his skills as a job to help around the Mean for some time now.

'''(If not done any Crystalline Mean quests)'''
'''Katliss:''' Now there's a surprise. Had I known sooner, I'd have asked you to help around the Mean. If you have a moment to spare, come and see me. I've all sorts of tasks lined up for a master [craftswoman/craftsman].

'''(All)'''
'''Ronitt:''' Trust me to make friends with one of those annoyin' people who's good at everythin'... I suppose there's no need to make it into a competition, though. Why don't we, uh...what's the word...cooperate? There might be someone around here who needs our help.
'''Ronitt:''' How about you, miss? Got anythin' that needs mendin'? Or maybe one of my patented automata can carry out a few menial tasks?

'''Katliss:''' Hmm... Where to begin?
'''Katliss:''' We did receive a report a few days ago of a caravan of merchants being attacked by roving sin eaters, not far from Sullen.
'''Katliss:''' While they were able to escape without any casualties, they had no choice but to abandon almost all of the produce they were transporting. I fear it's only a matter of time until it happens again. Is there anything you can do?

'''Regitt:''' Sin eaters? Bugger that.

'''Ronitt:''' This Fetchomatic Mechatoad might come in handy. A few extra spiky bits should do the trick. Hmm... On second thought, it might take more than that. I'll need somewhere to use as a workshop to carry out some modifications...

'''Katliss:''' You mean to say you build these yourselves? It certainly is...imposing. In a way only a three-wheeled mechanical frog can be.

'''Regitt:''' Now there's a fine compliment if ever I heard one! I think... This example of dwarven engineering was lovingly crafted by young Ronitt, here. He's a descendant of the great blacksmith Watts, and well on his way to becoming the pride of Tomra in his own right!

'''Katliss:''' Yes, judging by the quality of his work, I can see why.
'''Katliss:''' In fact, I have a proposal. If you're willing to lend us your expertise, we can arrange space for you to use as a workshop.

'''Ronitt:''' Really?

'''Katliss:''' When I say “space,” that's essentially all there is. We'd planned to build a storehouse near the Ostall Imperative, but we had to divert our resources elsewhere, and it was never completed. It seems to me you'd put it to good use.
'''Katliss:''' After all, a friend of [Forename]'s is a friend of ours.

'''Ronitt:''' That's very generous of you, miss! I'll turn that place into a first-class workshop in two shakes of a newborn's beard!

'''Katliss:''' Excellent. I'll inform those at the Imperative, so they aren't too surprised when automata start appearing out of the blue. I suggest you make yourselves known to Lorathia, who owns the land. She's a regular at the Clearmelt springs, so try there first.

'''Ronitt:''' Sounds like some meetin' and greetin' is in order. I reckon it'll go a lot smoother if you're there to cover for me in the likely event I put my foot in it somehow. I also have no bloody idea how to get there. So, lead the way!

====Optional====
'''Lightly Boiled Woman:''' Nothing better than a long soak in the springs, and Clearmelt has the best for malms around. It’s a shame I can’t have the whole place to myself!

'''Fetchomatic Mechatoad:''' <beep> <boop>

'''Regitt:''' These hot springs look awfully...hot. I'd go for a dip myself, but I'm worried my head would boil inside my helmet! Taking it off first is out of the question, obviously.

===Speaking with Ronitt at Clearmelt (Cutscene)===
'''Ronitt:''' So, this is Clearmelt, eh? Funny name for a bunch of rocks and a couple of ponds, if you ask me. More importantly, where's that Lorathia person?
'''Ronitt:''' You there! Old crone! I'm lookin' for Lorathia. You know where she is?

'''Lorathia:''' Call me an old crone again and I'll rip that silly beard off and shove it down your throat, you mouthy little gobshite.
'''Lorathia:''' But if it's Lorathia you're after, you're looking at her. What do you want?
'''Lorathia:''' Katliss sent you, did she? Hmm... If she thinks you're all right, that's good enough for me.
'''Lorathia:''' So, tell me, what are you planning to make in this workshop of yours? And don't go thinking you can impress me with a load of technical jargon. I was an engineer myself, you know.

'''Ronitt:''' I'm gonna modify this here automaton so that it can transport goods and keep them safe from sin eaters.

'''Lorathia:''' Pah! It won't be transporting much of anything with those stubby little arms, let alone fend off attackers.
'''Lorathia:''' And even if it could store goods in its torso, by the time it's done windmilling into the bastards, all those wares will have been shaken to buggery. Good luck to the poor sods who have to sell ''that''.

'''Ronitt:''' Yeah, but the windmillin's the best part!

'''Regitt:''' Ronitt, the old woman has a point, you know.

'''Lorathia:''' >> Less of the “old,” or I'll use that beard of yours to scrub the baths, with the rest of you still attached! <<

'''Ronitt:''' So, we need a way to carry as much as possible while strikin' the sin eaters from a distance...
'''Ronitt:''' That's it! Everyone, gather round!

'''Lorathia:''' Wicked white... It's so old, the ink's probably the only thing holding it together.

'''Ronitt:''' The design's from the days before the Flood, the brainchild of the great Watts himself. It's a self-propelled transportation device, armed to the teeth. I call it...
'''Ronitt:''' The Rollin' Tankard!
'''Ronitt:''' Its thick iron shell keeps the cargo inside safe and sound, while the cannon blasts any attackers to smithereens!

'''Regitt:''' What an amazing coincidence that you've had the perfect solution in your pocket this whole time! Even before you knew what the problem was!

'''Ronitt:''' This ain't no coincidence. Ever since I found a bunch of blueprints in a tightly locked safe back when I was little, I've taken them with me wherever I go. Never know when Watts's ideas might come in handy!
'''Ronitt:''' 'Course, I'm not just gonna make one of these, oh no. I'll make a whole bunch of 'em, and send them all over Norvrandt. Soon everyone'll see how great dwarven engineerin' really is!

'''Lorathia:''' But this only shows how it should look from the outside, with no mention of the inner workings. Are you sure you can pull this off?

'''Ronitt:''' I'd bet my beard on it!
'''Ronitt:''' And to be honest, dwarven technology's come a long way since Watts's time. He probably didn't design the insides because there was no way to actually make somethin' like this back then.
'''Ronitt:''' Luckily, we've got my skills to bring Watts's ideas to life. I'll have a prototype up and runnin' in no time!

'''Regitt:''' Listen, Ronitt. You're not the only one who knows how to swing a hammer around here. If we combine our efforts, it'll be ready even sooner.

'''Ronitt:''' Cheers mate, 'preciate it.

'''Lorathia:''' I must say, I'd be interested to see how this all turns out. I'll let you use my land, as long as you don't turn it into a smoldering crater.

'''Regitt:''' You won't regret this! But if we're to build a workshop, we'll need a few more pairs of hands. I'll head back to Tomra and round up some volunteers.

'''Lorathia:''' Hold it right there!
'''Lorathia:''' If this place is going to be overrun with dwarves, at least give me some way to tell you apart.
'''Lorathia:''' How am I meant to know who's who if you all dress like that?

'''Regitt:''' Not sure if you realize this, madam, but we dwarves don't exactly have extensive wardrobes. But, in the interests of a smooth-running operation, I'll ask my friend Karutt if there's anything we can do.

'''Ronitt:''' Pff. So much for helpin'. More like “bugger off back to Tomra and leave poor Ronitt to do everythin' by himself!” Well, you're still here, so you can give me a hand instead. Let's go and take a look at this plot of land, shall we?

====Optional====
'''Lorathia:''' That land used to belong to a relative of mine who moved to the Crystarium to get away from the sin eaters. Since then, I've been at a loss as to what to do with it. I'm not exactly inundated with potential tenants, as you can well imagine.

'''Fetchomatic Mechatoad:''' <beep> <boop>

===Speaking with Ronitt===
'''Ronitt:''' Welcome to the workshop! Or “workshop-to-be,” I suppose I should call it. Either way, this is where Watts's vision will become reality.
'''Ronitt:''' Although, I have to admit, it's not gonna be as easy as I've made out. Havin' you here does make the task seem less dauntin', though.
'''Ronitt:''' And even though I was a bit miffed at first to hear you're into craftin' as well─stealin' my thunder and all that─I'm glad we've got somethin' in common.
'''Ronitt:''' If you can lend a hand between whatever it is the Warrior of Darkness does the rest of the time, it'd mean the world to me.
'''Ronitt:''' So, what do you say, [Forename]? Will you help me?

'''< What will you say? >'''
'''< What the world needs now is tanks, sweet tanks. Of course I'll help. >'''
'''< No. You talked yourself into this. Build your own damned tanks. >'''

'''''< No. You talked yourself into this. Build your own damned tanks. >'''''
'''Ronitt''' Ah. Not quite the answer I was hopin' for. Well, if you change your mind, you know where to find me.
'''(Conversation Ends)'''

'''''< What the world needs now is tanks, sweet tanks. Of course I'll help. >'''''
'''Ronitt:''' Phew! I was worried you was gonna say no for a moment there! Now, let's make some tanks!
'''Ronitt:''' Erm, but before that, there are a few things we need to get in order. We won't get much work done without somethin' at least resemblin' a workshop.
'''Ronitt:''' If you're in the mood for helpin', maybe you could rustle me up some basic parts? I've got a list of everythin' I need. Anyone with even a passin' interest in metalworkin' should be able to manage it, so I'm sure you'll be fine!
'''Ronitt:''' If you're in the mood for helpin', maybe you could rustle me up some basic supplies? I've got a list of everythin' I need. Anyone with even a passin' interest in handicrafts' should be able to manage it, so I'm sure you'll be fine!
'''Ronitt:''' As another example of my incredible foresight, I've already had the Fetchomatic Mechatoad collect a load of random─I mean, potentially very useful─materials on the way over. This should be enough.
'''Ronitt:''' If you somehow manage to bugger it up, don't worry. We've got plenty more. I'll be takin' care of the rest of the preparations, so come and see me when you're done.

'''(Optional)'''
'''Ronitt:''' Run into some difficulties, did you? Not to worry, there's more where that came from. In the automaton's belly, that is.

===Delivering the crate of workshop supplies to Ronitt===
'''Ronitt:''' All done? Let's see what you've brought me, then!
'''''<Hand Over Workshop Supplies>'''''
'''Ronitt:''' Ah. I gotta say, I wasn't expectin' it to be quite this good. Not showin' off, are you?
'''Ronitt:''' Me and the Mechatoad'll take care of the rest, so you go and put your feet up for a bit. Don't want you takin' ''all'' the credit, now!

====Cutscene====
'''Ronitt:''' There you are! Welcome to Watts's Anvil!

'''Regitt:''' The two of you did all this!? I can't believe it!

'''Karutt:''' I-Is that you, Ronitt? Why, I...I hardly recognized you! Have you done something with your beard?

'''Ronitt:''' Well spotted, Karutt!
'''Ronitt:''' Accordin' to the legends, Watts had a brown beard and white horns. Seein' as I'm his descendant, I thought I'd follow suit!
'''Ronitt:''' Now that we've got a proper workshop, we can get started on makin' a prototype of the Rollin' Tankard.
'''Ronitt:''' To tell the truth, I'm not used to havin' this sort of pressure. Still, I've got you and the others here to do the heavy lif─''essential'' tasks, so I'm sure everythin' will go exactly as planned!

'''Regitt:''' Speaking of essential tasks, I'll be handling the supply of the various parts and whatnot, so come and see me when you're ready to show us those skills of yours.

'''System:''' Ronitt and his fellow dwarves have thrown themselves wholeheartedly into their newest enterprise, namely, to provide trundling death machines for the needy.
'''System:''' You have achieved Friendly reputation with Watts's Anvil.
'''System:''' Dwarf society quests are now available from Regitt at Watts's Anvil.
'''System:''' Furthermore, you may now purchase wares from Mizutt.
