Journal
- Helmhart has it in his head that you are his mane man, and returns to you with an even more hair-raising request.
- Helmhart's malady has taken a turn for the worse, and he begins girding his loins for what may well be the final battle. Stalk a golden fleece around Burning Wall, and obtain five vials of snurble blood.
- You have drained the blood from your vanquished prey. Rush the crimson cargo to Helmhart while he still has the strength to make use of it.
- Seizing the fresh snurble blood, Helmhart concocts a tonic even more noxious than the previous one. Apply a generous amount and think of Eorzea.
- You have fulfilled your duties with admirable stolidity. While Helmhart's ecstatic cries indicate a certain kind of efficacy, you fear that like the tide, his receding hairline waits for no man.

Accepting the quest
Oh no, no, no, nooo! It's not working─my jaded scalp turns its nose up at the phurble potation!
You! You're that trusty adventurer, Forename! I need you to fetch something with all haste!
Time is short and the comb is a cruel mistress. Long have I feared this day would come...but I am ready! The phurble tonic is dead; long live the snurble tonic!
You know where to get snurble blood, don't you?
...Snurbles, you say? Wrong! You get snurble blood from golden fleece! Don't think about it─just go to the Burning Wall and kill five!
...Snurbles, you say? Wrong! You get snurble blood from golden fleece! Don't think about it─just go to the Burning Wall and kill five!
Give the blood to Helmhart
Is this...the end? I thought we would always have each other, my hair and I...
The player hands over the Snurble Blood.
Snurble blood! You, sir/miss, are a lifesaver. Now, for the tonic. Uncork the sea pickles─mind the effluvia─and a widdle of this, a pizzle of that...and there!
Don't stand on ceremony, tick-tock, tick-tock! Put your back into it and work my scalp!
Apply the snurble tonic to Helmhart's head
Ooh! Ahhh! Feel that, my precious tresses? Papa's coming to save yooouuu!
Once again, I am in your debt. Now that we know each other better, I can reveal the truth: this hair keeps me alive. I feel a great enervation of spirit whenever a strand is left on my comb. Surely, that is proof enough!
