Gameplay Notes[]

Dialogue[]

(Interact with the cannon, optional)
Permingeat: A moment, please. Would you like to know a secret regarding the treasure?
(Talk to Permingeat)
Permingeat: One moment please. Would you like to hear a secret about the treasure?
What secret?
Permingeat: It has to do with treasure and the key to opening the gate. How does that sound? Interested?
You're not asking me to fight monsters again, are you?
You're not asking me to find someone or something for you again, are you?
Permingeat: Of course not! We wouldn't dream of asking tavern guests to run errands.
Permingeat: See this naval artillery by my side and the rubble it's pointed at?
Permingeat: Activate the cannon and blow up those rocks, and any treasure you uncover is yours for the taking.
Who on Teyvat named that cannon?
Permingeat: The helmsman did. I'm not entirely sure myself where he acquired it.
Out with it. What parts are missing?
Out with it. How is it powered?
Permingeat: I think you've been misinformed, friend. The cannon is entirely intact and fully powered. I tend to it every day.
Permingeat: But before you activate the cannon, I would like you to answer several questions.
Permingeat: It's per the request from the helmsman. He called it a good source of amusement for guests at the tavern, something to slow down their drinking and keep them here longer.
I'm not sure about this, but ask away.
Permingeat: Question 1: How many tables are there in The Rusty Rudder?
Permingeat: Question 2: How many employees do we have at The Rusty Rudder?
Permingeat: Question 3: What is not served in The Rusty Rudder?
Permingeat: That's it. You only need to answer these three questions correctly to activate the cannon, blow up the rubble, and get the treasure.
What will happen after I get the treasure?
Permingeat: After that, I'll find the right time to place another suitable prize in the cave and seal it with rubble.
Permingeat: The treasure is waiting to be claimed once the next guest activates the artillery.
That's a lot of work for you.
Talk about a horrible boss.
Permingeat: I find it hard to disagree with your remark, but I have yet to find a way to point the cannon at the helmsman without him detecting it.
Permingeat: Besides, rashly shooting in the wrong direction may harm other guests at the tavern, which stands in conflict with my moral principles.
Permingeat: That's all. You may look for the answers now. Meanwhile, I'll stay here and wait for you.
(Talk to Permingeat again)
Permingeat: Have you found the answers to the questions? Let me remind you of the questions first.
Permingeat: Question 1: How many tables are there in The Rusty Rudder?
Permingeat: Question 2: How many employees do we have at The Rusty Rudder?
Permingeat: Question 3: What is not served in The Rusty Rudder?
Permingeat: Are you ready to answer the questions?
We're ready.

I still need to give it some more thought.
