Dialogue[]
Quest DescriptionThe Black Serpent Knights present here do not, in truth, mean you ill. They are simply driven by their remaining instincts to defend those hilichurls. After you discover some of the secrets of this strange city, the Black Serpent Knight Halfdan seems to have something to show you...
- (Upon approaching the ledge outside of the chamber)
- Paimon: Halfdan jumped down over there. Let's follow him.
- (Arrive at the location on the ground)
- Paimon: Looks like Halfdan disappeared at the far end of this path...
- Dainsleif: Perhaps whatever lies ahead is what he wants us to see. Let's keep going.
- (Upon approaching the crates, bonfire, and hilichurl totem)
- Paimon: There are more signs of hilichurl activity here.
- (Upon turning past the hilichurl cooking pot and totem)
- Paimon: Is that the way into the hilichurl camp? Let's go see.
- (Upon arriving at the hilichurl camp)
- Paimon: It's a humble hilichurl camp...
- Paimon: Oh, these hilichurls look like they're in pretty bad shape, too. Some of them look like they've already... taken their final breath...
- Paimon: Is this what Halfdan wanted to show us?
- Dainsleif: Whether it is or not, everything here is worth investigating in detail. Inspect the area. Leave no stone unturned.
- (Investigate the already lit bonfire)
- Paimon: There's even a bonfire here, like what hilichurls build in the wild.
- Paimon: Wait, but wasn't Dain saying that hilichurls get scared of the light when they reach the very end of their lives...?
- Paimon: Hmm, maybe in the very, very end, they still want to feel some light and warmth? Uh... just thinking aloud here, could also be another reason!
- (Investigate the crates)
- Paimon: Hilichurls usually store food in crates like these, right?
- Paimon: But... these seem pretty much empty. Is it because they're so near to the end that they don't need to eat anymore?
- Paimon: Hmm... Even if they don't need to eat anymore, Paimon bets they still miss food for the flavor.
- (Investigate the prone hilichurls near the entrance)
- Paimon: Seems like... these hilichurls have no life left in them at all. Before long, they'll become one with the darkness.
- Paimon: The hilichurls we meet in the wild are always so rowdy... Paimon never would have imagined that this is how they spend their final days.
- Paimon: We may not have a whole lot of happy memories dealing with hilichurls, but still, Paimon hopes they're at peace in their last moments.
- (Investigate the flower)
- Paimon: How did that flower get this far underground?
- Paimon: Did someone bring it in memory of the deceased hilichurls?
I know this flower...- I've seen this kind of flower before...
- Paimon: Hey, now that you mention it, Paimon thinks it looks kinda familiar, too...
- Dainsleif: It is the national flower of Khaenri'ah: the "Inteyvat." It once bloomed all over the nation.
- Dainsleif: It would only last two weeks before wilting. But if you were to pluck one and take it out of Khaenri'ah, the petals would stop growing and turn hard.
- Dainsleif: Only when it finally returned to its home soil would the petals grow soft once more, and finally turn to dust...
- Dainsleif: So the Inteyvat is a symbol for a wanderer far from home, signifying the tenderness of the homeland.
- (That's the flower my sister was wearing in her hair.That's the flower my sister was wearing in her hair./
That's the flower I've been wearing in my hair since I woke up.That's the flower I've been wearing in my hair since I woke up.) - Paimon: *gasp* So for this flower to get here, it must have been brought from...
- Abyss Herald: Your Highness... so the proposal finally has your blessing?
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): In focusing single-mindedly on confronting the Heavenly Principles, we neglected our original mission: the revival of the homeland.
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): I should not have been so indecisive.
- Abyss Herald: The device is almost ready. We await your command.
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): What are the chances of succeeding?
- Abyss Herald: Theoretically speaking... approximately—
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): Forget it. Even a one-percent chance is enough...
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): For too long have we dwelt in the Abyss.
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): Surely, they would rather return to the natural cycle of life and death as soon as possible than continue to exist as they are, without a shred of dignity.
- (Traveler's SiblingTraveler's Sibling): They cannot be made to continue paying the price... for those so-called sins.
- Abyss Herald: The Order is most fortunate to be graced with your decision.
- (The Abyss Herald leaves)
- (The Traveler's Sibling walks toward the Traveler and disappears as the Traveler reaches out)
- (TravelerTraveler): (LumineLumine/
AetherAether)... - Dainsleif: You saw something, didn't you? Can you tell me what it was?
- Paimon: Yeah, you zoned out for quite a while there.
- You relate the scene you just saw to Dainsleif...
- Dainsleif: Huh. Well, people do say that twins have a special connection...
- Dainsleif: It sounds as if they are attempting to make use of certain equipment to cleanse the curse. It could well be the device we saw earlier.
- Dainsleif: And... you say (sheshe/
hehe) mentioned the "revival of the homeland," correct? - Yes.
- (SheShe/
HeHe) said it was (herher/ hishis) mission. - Dainsleif: No surprise there. Stubborn as ever.
- Dainsleif: It appears as if the Abyss Order plans to use this location to cleanse the hilichurls of their curse and restore them to the way they once were... Then, they will serve as the foundation for reviving the nation of Khaenri'ah.
- Dainsleif: After all, there can be no nation without a people.
- What do you think?
- Do they have a chance?
- Dainsleif: Hmph, it is the height of foolishness. They have no chance of success. Not even a one-percent chance.
- Dainsleif: I told you already that no one knows this curse better than I, having lived with it for 500 years... There is no redemption. There is no undoing the curse.
- Dainsleif: Trying to remove it by force will achieve nothing but to inflict further suffering.
- Dainsleif: So make sure you are clear in your mind. You have to tell yourself: They are no longer human.
- Dainsleif: If you cling to false hope and allow yourself to become too emotionally invested, the only way is down... You will end up just like them, mired in hypocrisy.
- Dainsleif: Save your strength for something worth saving.
- Why should I believe you?
- Dainsleif: Oh?
- Dainsleif: Haha... But of course. I am merely someone you hired for a task, while (sheshe/
hehe) is your (sistersister/ brotherbrother). - Dainsleif: It is only natural for you to side with (herher/
himhim). - Dainsleif: But whatever decision you make cannot deter me from mine. My chosen path is to stop the Abyss. If we have reached an impasse, then perhaps this is where we should say—
- I choose to believe you.
- But that doesn't mean I completely trust you.
- It just means that I don't approve of my (sistersister/
brotherbrother)'s methods.
- Dainsleif: I see.
- A 1% chance of redemption...
- ...versus a 99% chance of suffering and death.
I know this flower...- Nobody has the right...
- ...to make that choice on another living being's behalf.
- Especially not when these hilichurls...
- ...have already chosen the end that they desire.
- Dainsleif: It seems that the three questions I put to you on our first meeting were worthwhile. You have developed your own individual views on this world.
- Dainsleif: Very well. Since you have volunteered your true thoughts on this matter, I shall not hide mine from you.
- Dainsleif: Right now, I have a more immediate agenda than stopping the Abyss...
- Dainsleif: That is to say, the Abyss's actions here directly dishonor the final wishes of Halfdan and my other compatriots. I cannot allow this to proceed.
- I can understand that.
- Then let's stick together for this one.
- Dainsleif: The Abyss may appear at any moment. Be on your guard at all times as we proceed.
- (After leaving the hilichurl camp)
- Paimon: We can see the upside-down city from here, too.
- Dainsleif: Wait... Watch out!
- Paimon: Aaaah!
- Paimon: Wh—What's going on!? Is that light coming from the room in the center? Ow, it's too bright!
- Dainsleif: The mutation is continuing... Has the Abyss made its move already?
- Abyss Herald: Dainsleif... I see your incessant meddling continues, and that you have once again joined forces with Our Highness's kin...
- Abyss Herald: Regrettably, I was not in time to control your exit from the network... and it sent you here, of all places. This was a catastrophic error.
- Dainsleif: Hmph! I am surprised that you dare to face me. You ran like a coward last time.
- Abyss Herald: Our Highness's will must be done. All interferences must be removed... whatever the price to pay.
- Abyss Herald: This time... the curse that torments our people must be undone, once and for all.
- Dainsleif: You are the only ones who torment them.
- Dainsleif: There is nothing else left of those hilichurls. Nothing besides the curse itself.
- Abyss Herald: Say what you wish. I am going nowhere, Dainsleif.
- Dainsleif: Then you will give your life just to delay the inevitable? How absurd. But since you wish to persist, then so be it!
- (Battle begins)
- Dainsleif: You really think you can use that device beneath the pool to cleanse this curse?
- Abyss Herald: Do not underestimate the ways of the Abyss. That device can amplify the cleansing effects of the water not tenfold, but a hundredfold...
- Dainsleif: Then I overestimated you. This plan is even cruder than I thought.
- (After defeating the Abyss Herald)
- Paimon: Whew! You've been hunting this Abyss Herald for aaages — now you finally got him!
- Dainsleif: There's no time to celebrate. The Abyss Order's device is activating, but there's still time to destroy it.
- Paimon: Alright! Let's go!
