Dialogue[]
Quest DescriptionYou have an appointment with Tighnari tomorrow morning. Best to go tell Katheryne about the contaminated area first.
- (Talk to Katheryne)
- Paimon: ...Anyway, so the contaminated region turned out to be a Ley Line effluence deep in the forest. Things are already getting back to normal.
- Katheryne: I see. Thank you for your hard work.
- Katheryne: Once the excess Ley Line energy dissipates from the air, we should be able to make an announcement for residents to resume their normal activities.
- Katheryne: This is the stipulated reward. Please accept it.
- After leaving the Adventurers' Guild, Paimon takes you to a quiet place...
- Paimon: Is Karkata... going to be sent back to the Akademiya?
- Paimon: It's already damaged, but Paimon feels sad thinking about it getting disassembled.
Me too.- Paimon: Oh! Then how about we find Tighnari tomorrow and ask him to not do that?
- Paimon: Paimon really wants to go right now, but Tighnari said that we would "discuss matters tomorrow." We'll probably make him mad if we go now, huh?
- Probably.
- Paimon: Alright then! We'll find Tighnari tomorrow and tell him not to disassemble Karkata!
- (Obtain Mora ×30,000)
Step DescriptionYou've completed the commission concerning the contamination area, but can't help thinking about Karkata. Go to Pardis Dhyai tomorrow morning and have a look.
Step DescriptionTighnari should be in Pardis Dhyai. Head over and look for him.
- (After passing time)
- Paimon: How are you feeling (TravelerTraveler)? Sleep well?
- Paimon: We should go find Tighnari... Um... How do you think we should ask him...?
- (Approach the Pardis Dhyai greenhouse)
- Paimon: Tighnari—
- Tighnari: Shh, keep your voice down.
- Tighnari: The Lilac Daphne, a daphne of the genus Thymelaeaceae, has a strong anticonvulsant effect. It can also be made into an anesthetic powder...
- Tighnari: Extrapolating from these two data sets, it would be particularly potent against piscine species... Hey, make sure you're getting all this down.
- Karkata: Kolu!
- Paimon: Karkata!?
- Karkata: Kalu! Kalu!
- Tighnari: I thought I told you all to keep your voices low. Plants aren't afraid of noise, but your shouting is making my ears ring.
- Paimon: Y—You didn't disassemble Karkata?
- Tighnari: Why would I do that?
- Paimon: But Paimon thought you said, "According to the Akademiya's policies"...
- Tighnari: So that's why you two barged in like barbarians at this hour. Fine, I suppose I wasn't clear enough about this yesterday.
- Tighnari: What I meant was, according to the Akademiya's policies, all products of research must be destroyed. That's why we can't let the Akademiya discover that place.
- So the real reason you stayed back was to...
- Tighnari: Anyway, the first thing I did was repair Karkata. During my time at the Akademiya, I took an elective course at the Spantamad. Who knew it would prove useful one day.
- Tighnari: We then buried Abattouy together. After organizing the research materials, I kept some as a souvenir, most of it was burned to hide the evidence.
- Tighnari: I'm not with the Akademiya, so what do their policies have to do with me? On the other hand, I am the Forest Watcher of the Avidya Forest. I have a duty to protect all life in the forest.
- Tighnari: All life brought forth in this world has meaning, and Karkata is no exception. If it exists, then it shouldn't be carelessly abandoned or destroyed.
- Paimon: Hehe, that's great!
- Karkata: Kulilu?
- Paimon: Wait, you just said "life form." You recognize Karkata as a true living being now?
- Tighnari: The possibility exists is all. It's hard to explain Karkata's efforts to "repair" Abattouy.
- Tighnari: Abattouy only left behind a small portion of his research. Who knows how many commands he installed.
- Tighnari: Maybe a conflict between all those commands resulted in this sort of behavior.
- Tighnari: From a more rigorous perspective, it is impossible to conclude that Karkata is a real life form, but the possibility exists — I am willing to believe in that.
- Karkata: Kolu!
- Tighnari: By the way, I'm not interested in continuing research on this subject. I'm just letting it hang out here because this place is relatively secluded.
- Tighnari: But as things stand now, it wouldn't be a bad idea to make it my research assistant. At the very least, it can record my experiments.
- Tighnari: What do you think?
- Karkata: Kalu! Kalu!
- (Quest ends)
- (Talk to Tighnari)
- Tighnari: When people at the Akademiya included me in a group photo, they would also send me a copy.
- Tighnari: I have zero interest in group photos, but I also wouldn't just throw them away. I stored them all in a box.
- Tighnari: After coming back yesterday, I looked through them and found one with Abattouy. I gave it to Karkata, and it seemed happy... That's good enough.
- (Talk to Karkata)
- Karkata: Kalu! Kalu!
- (Examine pile of photos near Tighnari)
- Early Photo: The photo that was put aside...
- Early Photo: (One of the many group photos. Tighnari always has the same expression and doesn't seem to be interested in taking pictures.)
- (Examine a photo near Karkata)
- Early Photo: The photo next to Karkata...
- Early Photo: (A photo of Tighnari and Abattouy. Abattouy had a bright smile in this one.)
Trivia[]
- The lady in the first photo is most likely Makhfi, who also mentions Tighnari in her dialogues.
