Journal
- Wuk Evu wishes to spread word that the festival will soon be held.
- With Bakool Ja Ja's clumsy attempt to steal the float thwarted, the festivities can proceed as planned. Wuk Evu suggests that you let the villagers know that Ihih'hana will be held after all. True to form, he also strongly urges you to remember the traditional greeting when approaching the Hanuhanu. With the chat mode in Say, use your keyboard or the software keyboard to enter any phrase containing the words “Ohokaliy” to greet the Ok'hanu villagers.
- The mere knowledge that Ihih'hana will take place seemingly infuses the dejected villagers with eager anticipation. You can now return to Wuk Evu and commence the long-awaited festival.
- Chosen by Linuhanu as the festival's guest of honor, Wuk Lamat boards the float and is carried in a growing procession towards the sacred site of Kozanuakiy. Once there, the true magic of Ihih'hana manifests, the concentrated aether of the festival-goers harnessed and dispersed throughout the land in a spectacular display. You and your companions rush to check the fields, where Wuk Lamat looks over the now-revitalized reeds with an expression of awe.
- Owing to the festivities, the better part of the fields have been restored. The remainder is soon tended to by Koana, who arrives with an alchemical concoction prepared with the aid of his “Archon allies”─an explanation which gives you and your comrades pause. Overjoyed with Wuk Lamat and Koana's successful efforts, Zanuhali awards them both with a keystone. The feat is complete, and your party now looks to return to Tuliyollal in preparation for the next challenge.
- Still giddy from the festival and her success with the reeds, Wuk Lamat thinks back on the wonderful people she's met on her journey. Excited for the encounters still to come, she ushers you along back to Tuliyollal and Xbalyav Ty'e.
- Wuk Lamat is inordinately pleased with her progress thus far. With luck, the next stage of the contest will continue just as smoothly...
Dialogue
Optional dialogue
I'm glad we kept the float out of Bakool Ja Ja's clutches, but gods... He brushed me aside like I was a bothersome gnat.
A tense encounter. I'm thankful Alphinaud thought to share those linkpearls.
I'm thankful we made it back before anyone was seriously injured.
Given the nature of the rite of succession, I expect such altercations are inevitable.
He waited for us to leave so he could steal the float. A coward and a thief!
I was so afraid Wuk Lamat would come to harm... Ok'hanu has seen enough death.
Accepting the quest
With that exciting interlude over, you'll be pleased to know that my repairs are finished as well.
Before we commence the festival, however, it would be a courtesy to inform the villagers that Ihih'hana will be held after all.
Go forth, but do not forget your greetings! At this stage, I should hope the reminder is unnecessary.
Ohokaliy! See? I remember!
With the chat mode in Say, use your keyboard or the software keyboard to enter any phrase containing the word “Ohokaliy” to greet the Ok'hanu villagers.
Optional dialogue
Don't tell me you've forgotten the greeting? Fine, watch closely...
Ohokaliy!
With the chat mode in Say, enter "Ohokaliy" to greet the Ok'hanu villagers.
Dispirited Hanu: (X:17.1, Y:11.8)
Ohokaliy!
The festival is about to begin? What do you expect me to say...
...besides “Of course I'll be there!” Cleaning up the storm's aftermath may have been hard on us all, but the Lifting of Wings is tradition! And a joyous one at that!
I won't sit here brooding my days away! Give me a moment to get ready!
Melancholy Hanu: (X:17.1, Y:10.5)
Ohokaliy!
Thank you for letting me know. I would very much like to attend the festival, but the repairs should be finished as soon as possible. What to do, what to do...
Mournful Hanu: (X:17.3, Y:12.6)
Ohokaliy!
What? The float is fixed!? Our fallen friends would be glad to know that Ihih'hana will soon be underway. They would have wanted us to honor them with celebration, not let their loss deter us from it.
I must go and enjoy the festival for those who no longer can!
Speak with Wuk Evu.(Cutscene)
The Hanu were pleased to hear their festival was going ahead, I imagine?
That is well. Once your friends return, the Lifting of Wings can begin at last.
Start of voiced cutscene.So few have come...
Patience. Once Ihih'hana gets underway, no Hanu will be able to resist joining in.
Just so! Wuk Evu knows well the heart of the Hanu!
Have faith, Third Promise, and climb aboard the float! It is time for the Lifting of Wings!
Right! Off we go!
Ihih'hana is a prayer for bountiful harvest, but this is not its only meaning.
It is also an exchange of pledges between rider and bearers─a commitment to a long and fruitful friendship.
Listen well, friends! The personage we bear today is Wuk Lamat, the savior of our beloved festival!
Let your shoulders burn or your feathers fall out, but do not even think of dropping her!
Ready and...
I could get used to this.
Will empty bellies stop you from joining in the fun? Come and help us carry the float!
Well, well, well. To see the day the Dawn's Promise would ride our boat again.
We've not had the honor since you were here, Gulool Ja Ja.
Right, we've enough bearers now! Onwards to Kozanuakiy!
Watch well, for you are about to bear witness to the true glory of Ihih'hana!
The float draws upon our life force, concentrating and amplifying the energy...
Kixaihih then receives that energy and expels it in a great burst, where it showers down upon the land to replenish its vital currents!
It worked!
Like a literal charm!
The float really was helping the reeds...
That was...amazing. To think that such a thing was even possible!
End of cutscene.
Optional dialogue
Even deprived of their usual sustenance, the Hanu seemed invigorated the moment the festival began. Ihih'hana truly is magical!
I wasn't sure what to expect...but the festival was admittedly impressive.
With their fields rejuvenated, the Hanuhanu, too, might finally replenish their flagging reserves of aether.
I'd like to take a turn riding the float. ...What? It looked like fun! Don't pretend the thought didn't cross your mind.
I told you, didn't I? Spectacular.
I was too quick to dismiss the idea that the float had arcane properties. I think I wanted to believe that no one knew more about Ihih'hana than me.
As it turns out, there are many things I have yet to learn...
Speak with Wuk Lamat. (Cutscene)
Should I have left the float behind like that? I was so excited to see the reeds...
Nothing to worry yourself over. My brethren have been swept up by festival fever─last I saw, they were taking turns at the carrying poles on the way back to the village.
Please, feel free to look over the fields and enjoy the sight of what you've accomplished.
Start of voiced cutscene.Some of them still look a bit sickly...
I imagine even the harvest magic has its limits. If the Hanu continue their festival tradition year after year, though, the entire field should eventually recover.
Where does that leave us with the feat, then...?
You've got nothing to fear on that account.
Our situation could never have resolved itself. The revival of even a single reed would have served to demonstrate your commitment to the task.
That you recognized the nature of the float and found a near-perfect solution in Ihih'hana proves your dedication!
What's more, I don't think I've seen the festival produce such impressive results since I was a mere chirper.
We have been lax in maintaining the float, diluting its magic and reducing Ihih'hana to hollow theater.
But today's events remind us of the power in tradition.
Koana!
I was delayed by an unpleasant encounter, but it seems I arrived at a good time.
Oh...isn't that wonderful.
What!? You just pour in some mystery liquid, and problem solved!?
Stagnant aether was to blame for the reeds' poor condition. I assume that was an alchemical concoction which enhances aetherial conductivity.
It utilized the flowing water as an aetherial current, thereby promoting the transfer of life energies.
A method I could not have devised without the education I received at the Studium and the cooperation of my Archon allies.
Archon allies...?
You see, Lamaty'i? This is why we need to embrace foreign knowledge and technology.
Employed appropriately, they make light work of what would otherwise be arduous labor. There's no need to lug around heavy floats!
Well, you always were the clever one, Brother.
Your approach was no less effective, Wuk Lamat. It achieved the same result.
Indeed it did. And you enjoyed the festival, yes?
I did! It was so much fun!
Having visited your village before, I thought I knew everything about it.
As it turns out, I knew very little. About the reeds, about Ihih'hana...
With all I've learned this time, I feel as though I've really come to know the Hanu...
And I like you even more now than I did before!
The feeling is mutual. And it's not just you who had a lot to learn, either─I'll never look at our float the same way again!
The two of you have exceeded expectations. Come forth and claim your stones.
If this is the first keystone:
If this is the second keystone:
Five more to go!
And on to the next.
Not even a moment of celebration... That's Koana for you.
Third Promise, you must join us for Ihih'hana next season.
As Dawnservant, of course!
Right, it's back to Tuliyollal for now.
Thank you for having us. I look forward to seeing you all again!
These are interesting times, indeed.
The concoction was brewed by Koana himself. It's a test vial, but it should contain the same reagents.
Good work. We'll use whatever we must to win. For win we must.
End of cutscene.
Optional dialogue
While Koana seems a decent sort, he strikes me as a man who likes to keep others at a distance.
Erenville:
If this is the first keystone:
Two-headed troubles aside, Wuk Lamat completed the feat and earned a keystone. That's all that matters.
If this is the second keystone:
That makes two out of seven keystones... So far, so good.
I'm curious as to who these Archons the Second Promise mentioned could possibly be...
Where has Bakool Ja Ja gone, I wonder? And what did his follower mean by their “other” prospect...?
Speak with Wuk Lamat again.
My journey has just started and already I've met so many wonderful people.
Wuk Evu, for one. He's a bit eccentric, but everyone could stand to be as respectful of other cultures as he is.
And Linuhanu─it warmed my heart to see him honor his departed friend through Ihih'hana, and to help others do the same.
I can't help but feel excited thinking who else I might meet over the course of the contest. Come on, let's head back to Xbalyav Ty'e!
Optional dialogue
If this was the first keystone:
The Hanu's festival must be as central to their traditions as the sundrop dance is to the Vanu.
I pray we don't cross paths with Bakool Ja Ja at the next feat...
I noticed Zoraal Ja was not at the Hanu village...
When Wuk Lamat declared her intention to save the festival, I feared where it would lead us. I'm glad to see my concerns were unfounded.
Ooh, my belly... Long has it been since I've feasted so well.
If this was the second keystone:
The Hanu's festival must be as central to their traditions as the sundrop dance is to the Vanu.
I have not forgotten our obligations to Wuk Lamat, but it's moments like these─when we can immerse ourselves in the cultures of others─that fill me with anticipation for the new experiences this adventure will bring us.
I pray we don't cross paths with Bakool Ja Ja at the next feat...
But even if we do, we've made a good start on these challenges. Hopefully we can keep it up.
I noticed Zoraal Ja was not at the Hanu village...
Yet in a contest like this one, 'tis only a matter of time until the claimants are pitted against each other in direct competition.
When Wuk Lamat declared her intention to save the festival, I feared where it would lead us. I'm glad to see my concerns were unfounded.
...Traveling with so large and diverse a group is...unfamiliar to me. If she could see me now...
Speak with Wuk Lamat outside Xbalyav Ty'e.
If this was the first keystone:
And just like that, we found an elector and won our first keystone. I knew I was right to trust your instincts!
Come on! Let's keep things moving, and march onwards to Urqopacha!
Chances are good we'll find an elector there as well. Before we do anything, however, we should see what your opportunistic Pelu friend has to say.
If this was the second keystone:
