Dialogue[]
Quest DescriptionAfter a long and daring pursuit of Dvalin, who has been led astray by the Abyss Mages, you are about to finally confront him once and for all.
- (During the first phase of the fight)
- Venti: Look! There are two shiny spots on Dvalin's back!
- Venti: They appear to be poisonous blood clots that have coagulated on his wounds...
- Venti: The Abyss Order must have cursed the wounds. That's what's corrupting Dvalin's mind.
- Venti: To save Dvalin, we're going to have to get rid of those blood clots.
- Venti: Aim for those blood clots!
- (After reaching roughly 60% HP)
- Venti: Dvalin is getting away... but I am familiar with his tactics. Just hold on a bit longer.
- Venti: I'll extract and condense the pure Anemo from the shots being fired.
- Venti: Shattering them will create acceleration currents.
- Venti: I can't control where they will appear, so keep your eyes peeled.
- Venti: Shatter the condensed Anemo orbs to create acceleration currents.
- Venti: I know it's hard to tell amidst the barrage of bullets, but this is the only way.
- (After depleting Dvalin's HP)
- Venti: Dvalin... I'm sorry this is hurting you... Hang on, just one more!
- (During the second phase of the fight)
-
- (Dvalin flies over to a circle of platforms, and Diluc, Jean, Venti, and the Traveler follow. Dvalin bursts up from the middle of the platforms to engage the party in battle.)
- Venti: Now we can fight Dvalin on equal grounds. The grandest bard is here to help!
- Venti: But first, let me be clear...
- Venti: Even after hundreds of years without use, Dvalin's teeth and claws are still very dangerous.
- (After Dvalin's shield bar is depleted and Dvalin becomes vulnerable)
- Venti: Now is our chance! Aim for the tainted blood clot on his neck!
- (If Dvalin uses Caelestinum Finale Termini)
- Venti: A-ha, this is Dvalin's ace in the hole: Caelestinum Finale Termini!
- Paimon: ...This dragon has strange taste when it comes to naming things.
- Venti: I named it for him just now.
- Paimon: Seriously!?
- Venti: Well... Anyway, let's ride the wind currents and stay away from the breaking platforms.
- Venti: The energy flooding out from the fissures will be hot. Be sure to watch your step.
- (A cutscene plays)
-
- (After defeating Stormterror, the platforms crumble and everyone loses their footing.)
- Paimon: This place is gonna collapse!
- (Dvalin rescues everyone from falling and flies away with everyone on his back)
- Venti: It's been a while since we flew like this together, huh, Dvalin?
- Dvalin: Just now... Why... Why did you not ask me to protect you like the last time?
- Venti: Me not wanting you to listen to the Abyss Order doesn't mean that you have to listen to me.
- Venti: Freedom, if demanded of you by an archon, is really no freedom at all.
- Dvalin: Is this... the power of the Anemo Archon? But I am no longer part of the Four Winds.
- Venti: Even if that's so, you still protected us regardless.
- Venti: Now, spread your wings of freedom and go with my blessing.
- (Dvalin brings everyone back to the City of Mondstadt. The scene cuts to Jean at her office desk.)
- Jean: And so, the Stormterror threat was quelled.
- Jean: I clarified the misunderstanding to the citizens of Mondstadt
- Jean: and let them know that they are safe.
- (The Traveler and Paimon, Diluc, and Venti are seen in various parts of the city)
- Jean: To them it seems Stormterror attacked Mondstadt out of nowhere
- Jean: and then vanished just as quickly.
- Jean: They must be finding the whole ordeal very confusing.
- Venti: However, winds change their course.
- Venti: Someday, they will blow towards a brighter future.
- (Cutscene ends)
- One day later...
