Quest Description

To rescue Kachina, who has been trapped in the Night Kingdom, you must first seek out her Ancient Name. Kinich says that he has given the ritual implements needed to do so to the Chief of the Scions of the Canopy. Head there and ask around.
(Return to the Stadium, optional)
Media:vo ntaq006 1 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Whoa, this place looks so different now... What happened here?
(While heading to the Scions of the Canopy along the wooden path north of the Statue of The Seven in Coatepec Mountain, optional)
Media:vo ntaq005 1 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: What can you tell us about the Scions of the Canopy?
Media:vo ntaq005 1 chasca 01.ogg Chasca: The tribespeople are very adventurous.
Media:vo ntaq005 1 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Oh, kind of like us, then!
Media:vo ntaq005 1 chasca 02.ogg Chasca: Hmm... I'm not so sure. You don't strike me as the type to enjoy danger.
Media:vo ntaq005 1 chasca 03.ogg Chasca: The Scions of the Canopy are a bunch of thrill-seekers. They love extreme sports like rock climbing, rappelling, volcano parkour...
Media:vo ntaq005 1 chasca 04.ogg Chasca: Or even bungee jumping without a rope while a Yumkasaur stands at the edge and uses its tongue to catch them. Sound like something you'd be interested in?
Media:vo ntaq005 1 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Okay... that does sound different from our usual "adventures."
Media:vo ntaq005 1 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: Paimon's not doing any of that! She can just cheer you on from the sidelines!
(Approach the marked area)
(If Wayna has not been spoken to yet)
Media:vo ntaq005 1 chasca 05.ogg Chasca: That's Wayna, the tribal chief. Let's head over to him.
(If Wayna has been spoken to once before)
Media:vo ntaq005 1 chasca 06.ogg Chasca: Wayna's right over there. Let's go.
(Approach Wayna)
Media:vo ntaq005 1 wayna 01.ogg Wayna: Chasca?
Media:vo ntaq005 1 chasca 07.ogg Chasca: Nice to see you again, Wayna.
Media:vo ntaq005 1 chasca 08.ogg Chasca: I'm afraid we don't have time for pleasantries, so I'll get right to it. We're here for the Spiritspeaker Stone.
Media:vo ntaq005 1 wayna 02.ogg Wayna: Whoa, hold on a second. At least tell me why you need it, first.
Media:vo ntaq005 1 mualani 01.ogg Mualani: My friend, Kachina, is trapped within the Night Kingdom. We need the Stone to find her Ancient Name and rescue her.
Media:vo ntaq005 1 wayna 03.ogg Wayna: Rescue her? From the Night Kingdom?
Media:vo ntaq005 1 mualani 02.ogg Mualani: That's right.
Media:vo ntaq005 1 wayna 04.ogg Wayna: I'm sorry, but someone needs to tell you what you don't want to hear. Going there... A "mature warrior" would never make such a foolish decision.
Media:vo ntaq005 1 wayna 05.ogg Wayna: The nature of battle is unpredictable. You never know how it's going to end. Losing a friend is tragic, but when that happens, the best thing you can do is focus on how to prevent further casualties...
Media:vo ntaq005 1 mualani 03.ogg Mualani: I appreciate what you're trying to say, Chief Wayna, but if the price of "maturity" is abandoning a friend in need, I'll choose foolishness any day. If Kachina's still holding on, then so will I.
Media:vo ntaq005 1 wayna 06.ogg Wayna: I thought you might say that... *sigh*
Media:vo ntaq005 1 chasca 09.ogg Chasca: Is something wrong, Wayna? This doesn't seem like you.
Media:vo ntaq005 1 chasca 10.ogg Chasca: "Life isn't complete without taking risks" — that's always been your mantra.
Media:vo ntaq005 1 wayna 07.ogg Wayna: Haha... It's nothing. The Night Kingdom is a dangerous place. Can't blame me for checking if you were up to the task.
Media:vo ntaq005 1 wayna 08.ogg Wayna: If you're that determined, far be it from me to stop you. Here's the stone. Keep it safe, okay? It's not like we have a spare.
Media:vo ntaq005 1 chasca 11.ogg Chasca: Thank you.
Media:vo ntaq005 1 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: Huh, seems like you two go way back... But, aren't you from the Flower-Feather Clan, Chasca?
Media:vo ntaq005 1 wayna 09.ogg Wayna: Oh, Chasca's a peacekeeper, so she's famous throughout the tribes. She's always the one people call to resolve conflicts, so we slowly got to know each other that way.
Media:vo ntaq005 1 wayna 10.ogg Wayna: Her younger sister, Chuychu's always hanging around our tribe, too. She's helped us out a lot in the past.
Media:vo ntaq005 1 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: Oh, you have a younger sister!
Media:vo ntaq005 1 chasca 12.ogg Chasca: Yes... I'll introduce you to her sometime.
Media:vo ntaq005 1 chasca 13.ogg Chasca: But, let's get back to business. Wayna, how do we use the Stone?
Media:vo ntaq005 1 wayna 11.ogg Wayna: As you probably know, your intended destination is completely different from the real world. The Night Kingdom is like a river flowing with "concepts," and the Ancient Name you seek is like a tiny fish swimming downstream.
Media:vo ntaq005 1 wayna 12.ogg Wayna: In that sense, the Stone is like a fishing boat drifting down the river. But, the boat alone isn't enough. You need a "fisherman" experienced enough to steer it in the right direction.
Media:vo ntaq005 1 mualani 04.ogg Mualani: We couldn't do that ourselves?
Media:vo ntaq005 1 wayna 13.ogg Wayna: With a little practice, I'm sure you could. You have the strength and the talent... If you want to make sure this works, though, I could recommend someone to you.
Media:vo ntaq005 1 chasca 14.ogg Chasca: Who?
Media:vo ntaq005 1 wayna 14.ogg Wayna: Vichama — a legendary warrior and scout from our tribe.
Media:vo ntaq005 1 wayna 15.ogg Wayna: He's got a keen eye and a well-honed intuition. Even his Ancient Name means "to seek"... If you're "fishing" for a Name, you're gonna want him on the boat.
Media:vo ntaq005 1 paimon 07.ogg Paimon: Vichama? Why does that name sound familiar...?
Media:vo ntaq005 1 mualani 05.ogg Mualani: He's one of Auntie Atea's "hot spring buddies." I've heard stories about him.
Media:vo ntaq005 1 mualani 06.ogg Mualani: Where can we find him?
Media:vo ntaq005 1 wayna 16.ogg Wayna: Ever since Mallko passed, he spends most of his time gazing out at the scenery from the clifftops. Follow the path that way, and I'm sure you'll find him.
Media:vo ntaq005 1 mualani 07.ogg Mualani: Thank you. We'll go look for him there.
Media:vo ntaq005 1 wayna 17.ogg Wayna: *sigh*... Good luck. I hope everything goes well.
(Talk to Wayna again, optional)
Media:vo dialog ntaq005 wayna 01.ogg Wayna: Vichama spends most of his time up in the clifftops, gazing at the scenery. You should head over there and have a look.
Step Description

Wayna enlightens you regarding the principles underlying the usage of the Spiritspeaker Stone. Up next, it's time to get help from Vichama, a legendary Scion scout.
(Approach Vichama)
Media:vo ntaq005 2 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Someone admiring the scenery from the clifftops... Ah, that must be him!
Media:vo ntaq005 2 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Hello there! Are you Vichama?
Media:vo ntaq005 2 vichama 01.ogg Vichama: That's me. Did you need something?
You tell him about Kachina and the Spiritspeaker Stone...
Media:vo ntaq005 2 vichama 02.ogg Vichama: What? You're saying... you can bring someone back from the Night Kingdom? How is that even possible?
Media:vo ntaq005 2 vichama 03.ogg Vichama: No, if you really think about it... Anything's possible in that kind of place. But, that would mean...
Media:vo ntaq005 2 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: A—Are you okay? You don't look so good...
Media:vo ntaq005 2 vichama 04.ogg Vichama: ...
Media:vo ntaq005 2 vichama 05.ogg Vichama: Everything's fine.... I'll help you, but I do have a small request.
Media:vo ntaq005 2 vichama 06.ogg Vichama: After I help you find Kachina's Ancient Name, I want to use the Stone to look for my friend's as well.
Media:vo ntaq005 2 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: Your friend? Oh, Wayna mentioned someone named "Mallko." Is that who you're talking about?
Media:vo ntaq005 2 vichama 07.ogg Vichama: Yes, but I'd rather not get into it, if it's all the same to you.
Media:vo ntaq005 2 chasca 01.ogg Chasca: That's not a problem. We agree to your request.
Media:vo ntaq005 2 mualani 01.ogg Mualani: Yeah! Since you're helping us find Kachina's Ancient Name, it's only right that we return the favor!
Media:vo ntaq005 2 vichama 08.ogg Vichama: Then we're agreed. Can I have a look at the Stone?
(Vichama looks at the Stone for a while)
Media:vo ntaq005 2 vichama 09.ogg Vichama: ...I see. From what I can tell, it functions almost like an Abyssal Pylon — both connect the Night Kingdom to the living world.
Media:vo ntaq005 2 vichama 10.ogg Vichama: Once the connection is established, the Abyss will come surging through the opening like a predator honing in on the scent of blood. So, we have to be sure not to use it in a tribal settlement.
Media:vo ntaq005 2 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: Wow, you got all that just from looking at it?
Media:vo ntaq005 2 vichama 11.ogg Vichama: I just picked up on the basics, really. I still have no idea why it works. You said someone named Citlali invented this? They must be a genius.
Media:vo ntaq005 2 vichama 12.ogg Vichama: I'll go find an open area and start setting things up. In the meantime, I need you to get two things for me.
Media:vo ntaq005 2 mualani 02.ogg Mualani: We'll go right away! What do you need?
Media:vo ntaq005 2 vichama 13.ogg Vichama: First, I'll need some hook-ropes. Pretty much every store around here carries them, so no need to go anywhere special. Oh, and I need to build a "net" out of them, so make sure you get a good amount.
Media:vo ntaq005 2 mualani 03.ogg Mualani: Wait, are you saying you're going to use a real net to "catch" Kachina's Ancient Name? How does that work when one's tangible and one's not?
Media:vo ntaq005 2 vichama 14.ogg Vichama: By creating something tangible in our world — like a net — we can create a connection to a corresponding "concept" in the Night Kingdom. Basically, I'm going to use the "concept of a net" to catch something equally intangible — an Ancient Name.
Media:vo ntaq005 2 mualani 04.ogg Mualani: Oh, I see. What about the second thing you needed?
Media:vo ntaq005 2 vichama 15.ogg Vichama: Right, I need one... no, two chunks of Obsidian. Once we bring the Ancient Names into our world, we'll need a place to store them.
Media:vo ntaq005 2 vichama 16.ogg Vichama: Normally, you can only get Obsidian from the Children of Echoes, but I heard there's a traveling merchant from that tribe around here somewhere, so maybe you can try your luck there.
Media:vo ntaq005 2 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: Gotcha!
Media:vo ntaq005 2 vichama 17.ogg Vichama: Alright, let's split up. See that clearing? Let's meet over there when you're done.
Media:vo ntaq005 2 vichama 18.ogg Vichama: Oh, and, you can send someone with me, if you want. In case you're worried I might take the Stone for myself.
Media:vo ntaq005 2 mualani 05.ogg Mualani: ...What do you think, Chasca?
Media:vo ntaq005 2 chasca 02.ogg Chasca: There's no need. Wayna spoke highly of you. That means you're trustworthy.
Media:vo ntaq005 2 vichama 19.ogg Vichama: I appreciate it... even though that doesn't mean much to me anymore...
Media:vo ntaq005 2 vichama 20.ogg Vichama: Anyway, it'll take some time to set everything up, so no need to rush. I'll see you in a bit.
Media:vo ntaq005 2 paimon 07.ogg Paimon: What an odd guy. He seemed so defeated, but also really invested in the Stone at the same time.
Media:vo ntaq005 2 mualani 06.ogg Mualani: I don't have any more insight than you, Paimon. Let's just focus on the preparations for now.
Media:vo ntaq005 2 mualani 07.ogg Mualani: Hang on Kachina... We're coming for you.
Step Description

Vichama agrees to help use the Spiritspeaker Stone to search for Kachina's Ancient Name, before calling for two items to be prepared. Go looking for said items with the Scions of the Canopy.
(Talk to Pajaten, optional)
Media:vo dialog ntaq005 pajaten 01.ogg Pajaten: Looking to buy something?
(Talk to Amauta)
Media:vo ntaq005 3 mualani 01.ogg Mualani: Hello. Do you have any hook-ropes for sale?
Media:vo ntaq005 3 amauta 01.ogg Amauta: Hook-ropes? As in rock climbing equipment?
Media:vo ntaq005 3 mualani 02.ogg Mualani: Yes. How much for your whole stock?
Media:vo ntaq005 3 amauta 02.ogg Amauta: The whole thing? Let me see... That would be 30,000 Mora in total. Deal?
Media:vo ntaq005 3 mualani 03.ogg Mualani: Deal.
Media:vo ntaq005 3 amauta 03.ogg Amauta: Wait, really?
Media:vo ntaq005 3 mualani 04.ogg Mualani: What, you want me to drive down the price? We just need these as fast as possible. Thanks.
Media:vo ntaq005 3 amauta 04.ogg Amauta: No problem at all! I'll even pass along some information on the house. These ropes are usually used by rock climbing enthusiasts. If you want to learn, Roca's the person you want to ask.
Media:vo ntaq005 3 amauta 05.ogg Amauta: Alright, that's everything. Here you go.
Media:vo ntaq005 3 chasca 01.ogg Chasca: Now, we need the Obsidian. Let's go talk to the Traveling Merchant Vichama mentioned.
(Obtain Purpose-Built Grappling Hook Purpose-Built Grappling Hook ×1)
(Talk to Amauta again, optional)
Media:vo dialog ntaq005 amauta 01.ogg Amauta: Anything else I can get you?
(Talk to Pajaten)
Media:vo ntaq005 4 mualani 01.ogg Mualani: Excuse me, do you sell Obsidian?
Media:vo ntaq005 4 pajaten 01.ogg Pajaten: Why, yes! I've got a chunk for sale right over there.
Media:vo ntaq005 4 mualani 02.ogg Mualani: Perfect! Is that the only one, though? We actually need two.
Media:vo ntaq005 4 pajaten 02.ogg Pajaten: Hmm, that might be tough. Tell you what, I'll take a look through these boxes over here, and we'll see what we can find.
Media:vo ntaq005 4 mualani 03.ogg Mualani: Thank you so much. We'll wait here.
Media:vo ntaq005 4 mualani 04.ogg Mualani: Phew...
Media:vo ntaq005 4 chasca 01.ogg Chasca: Relax. Everything's going according to plan.
Media:vo ntaq005 4 mualani 05.ogg Mualani: I know... It's just, I could tell Vichama feels the same way about his friend that I do about Kachina. I hope this chunk of Obsidian isn't the only one...
Media:vo ntaq005 4 mualani 06.ogg Mualani: Kachina always carries all sorts of shiny stones with her. If I was the one trapped in the Night Kingdom, she'd have a whole pile of Obsidian ready in a heartbeat.
Media:vo ntaq005 4 pajaten 03.ogg Pajaten: Well, would you look at that, I did bring an extra... Here you go, young lady. How does it look?
Media:vo ntaq005 4 mualani 07.ogg Mualani: Perfect! Thank you! How much do I owe you?
Media:vo ntaq005 4 pajaten 04.ogg Pajaten: If you hadn't shown up, these stones would have just sat here collecting dust. I'll take 3,000 Mora for both.
Media:vo ntaq005 4 pajaten 05.ogg Pajaten: Here you go... By the way, I heard you mention Vichama just now. You running an errand for him, then?
Media:vo ntaq005 4 pajaten 06.ogg Pajaten: How's he doing? Mallko's been gone for five years, now. It's about time he started to move forward.
Media:vo ntaq005 4 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Do you know what happened between them?
Media:vo ntaq005 4 pajaten 07.ogg Pajaten: I heard about it in passing while I was out drinking one night, but I don't know all the details. Vichama and Mallko grew up together and even made a name for themselves together.
Media:vo ntaq005 4 pajaten 08.ogg Pajaten: Mallko was an amazing fighter, capable of knocking out multiple opponents in a single hit, while Vichama excelled at scouting and analyzing the battlefield. The two made an excellent team, and managed to beat back the Abyss several times.
Media:vo ntaq005 4 pajaten 09.ogg Pajaten: Five years ago, they both emerged triumphant in the Pilgrimage and were placed on the same team to fight the Abyss.
Media:vo ntaq005 4 pajaten 10.ogg Pajaten: But on the eve of battle, the Abyss launched an attack on their tribe, and Vichama suffered an injury to his leg while attempting to rescue someone.
Media:vo ntaq005 4 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Then what happened?
Media:vo ntaq005 4 pajaten 11.ogg Pajaten: The team agreed that he couldn't go fight the Abyss in his condition.
Media:vo ntaq005 4 pajaten 12.ogg Pajaten: Vichama didn't argue. He knew going to the front lines with an injured leg would make him a burden in battle. So, they raised the issue with the Pyro Archon, and she agreed to let him stay behind.
Media:vo ntaq005 4 pajaten 13.ogg Pajaten: It's just... Mallko and the others ended up facing hordes of Abyssal monsters in numbers that far exceeded anyone's expectations. The team made an error in judgment, and they fell to the onslaught.
Media:vo ntaq005 4 pajaten 14.ogg Pajaten: Vichama went into a deep depression after that. He blames himself for everything.
It was an impossible situation...
It doesn't sound like it was his fault.
Media:vo ntaq005 4 pajaten 15.ogg Pajaten: You're not wrong. But, it's possible he chooses to blame himself, not because he did something wrong, but because he wasn't able to do anything at all.
Media:vo ntaq005 4 pajaten 16.ogg Pajaten: I've tried convincing him to move forward, to stop dwelling on the past. But, the shadow of Mallko's death hangs over him still.
Media:vo ntaq005 4 pajaten 17.ogg Pajaten: The Abyss has caused so much suffering, and some wounds never heal. I wish there was something he could do to make himself feel better, but... *sigh*
Media:vo ntaq005 4 pajaten 18.ogg Pajaten: Anyway, that's the gist of it. Maybe you could help him talk things through sometime. I would really appreciate it.
(Obtain Ordinary Obsidian Ordinary Obsidian ×2)
(Talk to Pajaten again, optional)
Media:vo dialog ntaq005 pajaten 02.ogg Pajaten: I hope Vichama can move past this whole thing soon...
Step Description

Grappling hooks, check. Obsidian, check. Time to meet up with Vichama once again.
(Approach Vichama)
Media:vo ntaq005 5 vichama 01.ogg Vichama: Did you get everything?
Media:vo ntaq005 5 mualani 01.ogg Mualani: Yup, it's all here. When do we start?
Media:vo ntaq005 5 vichama 02.ogg Vichama: I've made all the necessary adjustments, so we're good to go.
Media:vo ntaq005 5 vichama 03.ogg Vichama: As agreed, I'll help you find Kachina's Ancient Name, and then you return the favor.
Could I ask a question?
Media:vo ntaq005 5 vichama 04.ogg Vichama: Go ahead.
Are you seeking your friend's Ancient Name...
...For the same reason as us?
Media:vo ntaq005 5 vichama 05.ogg Vichama: ...Yes.
Media:vo ntaq005 5 vichama 06.ogg Vichama: After Mallko fell, I scoured the battlefield to see what happened. It turned out... he wasn't bested by some impossibly powerful foe. He was dragged to his grave by the sheer number of enemies.
Media:vo ntaq005 5 vichama 07.ogg Vichama: If I had been there, I would've been able to sense the danger. I could've warned them not to advance...
Media:vo ntaq005 5 vichama 08.ogg Vichama: I've always blamed myself for what happened... But, when you told me about Kachina, I realized there's a chance Mallko might also be alive, fighting for survival in the Night Kingdom.
Media:vo ntaq005 5 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: But... that happened several years ago, right?
Media:vo ntaq005 5 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: The Pyro Archon said all life within the Night Kingdom eventually becomes one with the sea of souls...
Media:vo ntaq005 5 vichama 09.ogg Vichama: There might not be much hope, but I still have to try. Mallko and I promised each other... Even if we never managed to root out the Abyss for good, we would fight together until the end.
Media:vo ntaq005 5 vichama 10.ogg Vichama: Alright, let's get to it. I'll start searching for the "conceptualized" version of Kachina's Ancient Name. If you see any "fragments" scattered around the area, please collect them.
(Vichama begins, and the area darkens)
Media:vo ntaq005 5 vichama 11.ogg Vichama: Make sure you prepare yourselves for battle. As I said, the Stone will link the mortal realm to the Night Kingdom. The Abyss will likely emerge in response.
Step Description

All is ready. Time to begin the search for Kachina's Ancient Name.
Media:vo ntaq005 5 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Look at that golden thing... It must be one of those "fragments" Vichama mentioned. Let's get closer!
(If the player approaches a fragment but does not pick it up)
Ancient Name fragments cannot exist in the real world for long. Make sure you pick them up as soon as possible.
(After collecting eight fragments)
Media:vo ntaq005 5 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: Whoa, monsters incoming! Watch out, everyone!
(After defeating the enemies)
Media:vo ntaq005 5 chasca 01.ogg Chasca: How much longer, Vichama?
Media:vo ntaq005 5 vichama 12.ogg Vichama: Not long! We're getting close..!
Step Description

The power of the Abyss surges without abating. Vichama seems to be in pain...
(After collecting all 16 fragments)
Media:vo ntaq005 6 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Vichama!
Media:vo ntaq005 6 vichama 01.ogg Vichama: Quick... Take it!
Media:vo ntaq005 6 vichama 02.ogg Vichama: I found Kachina's Ancient Name... Hang in there, Mallko... Just a little longer...
Media:vo ntaq005 6 chasca 01.ogg Chasca: Something's not right. The power of the Abyss is getting stronger.
Media:vo ntaq005 6 mualani 01.ogg Mualani: The Abyss is corroding his body! Vichama, you can't keep going, you'll die—
Media:vo ntaq005 6 vichama 03.ogg Vichama: ...I should've died five years ago.
Media:vo ntaq005 6 vichama 04.ogg Vichama: I just need a little more time. Please! I'm almost there!
Understood.
I'll help buy you some time.
Media:vo ntaq005 6 vichama 05.ogg Vichama: Thank you.
(Reach the first breakpoint while helping Vichama repel the Abyssal energy)
Media:vo ntaq005 6 paimon 08.ogg Paimon: Whoa, watch out! The power of the Abyss is strong!
(Reach the second breakpoint)
Media:vo ntaq005 6 vichama 27.ogg Vichama: Argh...
(After filling the bar)
Media:vo ntaq005 6 chasca 02.ogg Chasca: This power...
Media:vo ntaq005 6 mualani 02.ogg Mualani: Hanging in there?
I can't hold them back much longer!
We're running out of time!
Media:vo ntaq005 6 vichama 06.ogg Vichama: Mallko... No! Why can't I find him!? Why...
Media:vo ntaq005 6 chasca 03.ogg Chasca: We can't wait any longer. Pull him away from the Stone, Mualani!
Media:vo ntaq005 6 mualani 03.ogg Mualani: I already tried, but the power of the Abyss has him in a chokehold... It's like he's tied to the Stone with an invisible rope.
Media:vo ntaq005 6 chasca 04.ogg Chasca: In that case, we have no choice. I'm sorry, Citlali.
Media:vo ntaq005 6 chasca 05.ogg Chasca: ...Get back.
Media:vo ntaq005 6 mualani 04.ogg Mualani: ...Chasca? Wait—
Chasca decisively destroys the Spiritspeaker Stone, causing an explosion...
(The area returns to normal)
Media:vo ntaq005 6 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Ouch... What happened just now? It looked like the Spiritspeaker Stone was—
Media:vo ntaq005 6 chasca 06.ogg Chasca: The Stone's power was spiraling out of control. The only way to stop it was to destroy it.
Media:vo ntaq005 6 chasca 07.ogg Chasca: You were all caught in the shockwave of the explosion. You might feel dizzy for a while, but that's normal.
Media:vo ntaq005 6 mualani 05.ogg Mualani: Give us a heads up next time, will you? You're lucky we managed to dodge in time.
Media:vo ntaq005 6 chasca 08.ogg Chasca: I thought I said to get back...
Media:vo ntaq005 6 mualani 06.ogg Mualani: Yeah, barely a second before you made it go poof! Not everyone has your reflexes, Chasca. We were THIS close to getting dragged into the explosion!
Media:vo ntaq005 6 chasca 09.ogg Chasca: Okay, I'll be more careful next time.
Media:vo ntaq005 6 mualani 07.ogg Mualani: At least Kachina's Ancient Name is still in one piece... Wait, where's Vichama?
Media:vo ntaq005 6 mualani 08.ogg Mualani: Vichama!

Media:vo ntaq005 6 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Vichama...
Media:vo ntaq005 6 vichama 08.ogg Vichama: I couldn't find Mallko's Ancient Name. It... must be completely gone by now.
Media:vo ntaq005 6 vichama 09.ogg Vichama: Once your Ancient Name disappears, there's no coming back. From the very beginning, I knew there was a slim chance, but still...
Media:vo ntaq005 6 vichama 10.ogg Vichama: And, now, it's too late to save him... From the minute he left that day, it was already too late.
Media:vo ntaq005 6 mualani 09.ogg Mualani: Vichama...
Media:vo ntaq005 6 chasca 10.ogg Chasca: I'm sure he's heard enough condolences over the years... Let's just give him some space.
Media:vo ntaq005 6 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: Huh? What's that in your hands, Vichama? It looks like something's glowing!
Media:vo ntaq005 6 vichama 11.ogg Vichama: Huh? This is...
A ball of light flies out of Vichama's hands, after which you immediately see a memory...
(A memory begins)
Media:vo ntaq005 6 pisac 01.ogg Pisac: Hey, Mallko, got any strength left?
Media:vo ntaq005 6 mallko 01.ogg Mallko: Not enough to swing a sword, but to say a few last words? Sure...
Media:vo ntaq005 6 pisac 02.ogg Pisac: Haha, too bad no one will get to hear them.
Media:vo ntaq005 6 pisac 03.ogg Pisac: I never thought I'd actually die on this mission. *sigh* Not that I'm afraid to die, it's just... hard, thinking about my mom's face when she hears the news...
Media:vo ntaq005 6 mallko 02.ogg Mallko: Guess I have something to be thankful for, then. My parents died a long time ago... They won't have to mourn me.
Media:vo ntaq005 6 pisac 04.ogg Pisac: ...
(Pisac closes his eyes)
Media:vo ntaq005 6 mallko 03.ogg Mallko: Pisac? Hah, always had to beat me at everything, didn't you... Right to the end, you never were one for goodbyes.
Media:vo ntaq005 6 mallko 04.ogg Mallko: Maybe you're right, maybe no one will get to hear our last words. But, just in case...
Media:vo ntaq005 6 mallko 05.ogg Mallko: Vichama, I'm so glad you didn't come with us.
Media:vo ntaq005 6 mallko 06.ogg Mallko: Don't be sad. Just keep on living... for the both of us.
(Rifthound Whelps arrive at Mallko and Pisac's location)
(The memory ends)
Media:vo ntaq005 6 vichama 12.ogg Vichama: ...
Media:vo ntaq005 6 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: Was that... a memory?
Media:vo ntaq005 6 chasca 11.ogg Chasca: Seems like we were able to salvage something after all.
Feeling any better, Vichama?
Media:vo ntaq005 6 vichama 13.ogg Vichama: Of course. Seeing him, hearing his voice again... It makes me unbelievably happy.
Media:vo ntaq005 6 vichama 14.ogg Vichama: ...But, it also brings with it an even deeper pain.
Media:vo ntaq005 6 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: A deeper pain? Why?
Media:vo ntaq005 6 vichama 15.ogg Vichama: Mallko was always the type to put on a brave face, but in that memory just now... his hands were shaking, and his smile was forced.
Really?
Yeah, you're right...
Media:vo ntaq005 6 vichama 16.ogg Vichama: For all these years, I regretted not being able to fight alongside him to the end. And now I know... At the end of his life, he was thinking the same thing.
Media:vo ntaq005 6 paimon 07.ogg Paimon: Vichama...
Media:vo ntaq005 6 vichama 17.ogg Vichama: I'm fine... Actually, I heard Chief Wayna wasn't really on board with your plan to go to the Night Kingdom.
Media:vo ntaq005 6 vichama 18.ogg Vichama: When you asked for my help, I hesitated, too. I knew helping you find your friend's Ancient Name meant leading you one step closer to danger.
Media:vo ntaq005 6 vichama 19.ogg Vichama: But... I also understood why you had to try. Everyone has regrets in life, but not everyone gets the chance to make up for them.
Media:vo ntaq005 6 vichama 20.ogg Vichama: Once allowed to fester, guilt strips us of our most valuable qualities as warriors. In that sense, we might as well choose the braver path from the very beginning...
A more courageous way?
You mean fighting while injured?
Media:vo ntaq005 6 vichama 21.ogg Vichama: If I could do it all over again, I would have followed Mallko to the frontlines no matter what. Even with an injured leg, there were still things I could have done.
Media:vo ntaq005 6 vichama 22.ogg Vichama: That way... even if the outcome stayed the same, I still would have fought alongside him to the end.
Media:vo ntaq005 6 vichama 23.ogg Vichama: There are critical junctures in life, and if you don't seize the chance to act, there's no going back.
Media:vo ntaq005 6 vichama 24.ogg Vichama: That's something I had to learn in hindsight, but you're still at the crossroads of your journey, so... I hope you can walk away without regrets.
Media:vo ntaq005 6 mualani 10.ogg Mualani: Thank you, Vichama. I feel even more determined, now. Kachina will come back to us — I'll make sure of it.
Media:vo ntaq005 6 mualani 11.ogg Mualani: I promised I would find her, and I intend to keep that promise.
Media:vo ntaq005 6 vichama 25.ogg Vichama: That's good to hear. *cough* Strange... My body, it's...
Media:vo ntaq005 6 chasca 12.ogg Chasca: Once Abyssal corrosion enters the body, a portion will fuse itself to your internal organs. Even though (TravelerTraveler) possesses powers of purification, the corrosion can never be fully eradicated.
Media:vo ntaq005 6 chasca 13a.ogg Media:vo ntaq005 6 chasca 13b.ogg Chasca: Thanks to (‍himhim/herher‍), though, you were only briefly exposed. Slowing your breathing and controlling your emotions should help you keep the symptoms in check.
(A short amount of time passes)
Media:vo ntaq005 6 vichama 26.ogg Vichama: Phew... That does make me feel better. You seem very knowledgeable about all this.
Media:vo ntaq005 6 chasca 14.ogg Chasca: Just speaking from experience, that's all.
Media:vo ntaq005 6 mualani 12.ogg Mualani: Anyway, we've recovered Kachina's Ancient Name, so we're off to a great start. Let's get Vichama back to his tribe and tell Wayna the good news.
Media:vo ntaq005 6 mualani 13.ogg Mualani: Oh, um... and apologize for destroying the Spiritspeaker Stone. We had no choice, though, so he'll probably understand... right?

(At the "Scions of the Canopy")
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chuychu 01.ogg Chuychu: ...
Media:vo ntaq005 7 wayna 01.ogg Wayna: ...
Media:vo ntaq005 7 wayna 02.ogg Wayna: Chuychu, are you really gonna just stand there like that? I don't know what you want from me...
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chuychu 02.ogg Chuychu: I think you know exactly what I'm trying to say, Uncle Wayna. I can hear it in your voice.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 wayna 03.ogg Wayna: Honestly, it's just one thing after another with you two...
Media:vo ntaq005 7 wayna 04.ogg Wayna: Ah, they're back.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chasca 01.ogg Chasca: Chuychu? What are you doing here?
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chuychu 03.ogg Chuychu: Hah, don't play dumb with your own sister! You know exactly why I'm here.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chuychu 04.ogg Chuychu: My apologies, everyone, I just need to borrow Chasca for a few minutes.... You, come with me.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chasca 02.ogg Chasca: *sigh*... I'll be just a moment.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Who was that?
Media:vo ntaq005 7 wayna 05.ogg Wayna: Chuychu... Chasca's younger sister, although the two aren't actually related by blood. It's kind of a long story...
Right! She did call herself Chasca's "sister" just now.
But, it feels like there's more to the story...
Media:vo ntaq005 7 wayna 06.ogg Wayna: It's not really my story to tell, but I guess it's not a secret... You see, Chasca was actually raised by Qucusaurs.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 wayna 07.ogg Wayna: She was afflicted with a rare disease when she was a child and abandoned in the wild as a result. The Abyss found her out there, all on her own, and tried to devour her. But, in the end, all that did was trigger her will to live.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 wayna 08.ogg Wayna: That strength of will pushed her to survive, but it also planted a seed of "conflict" within her. Eventually, she was adopted by the Qucusaurs. Wherever they went, she followed, getting into fights right and left.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: For some reason, Paimon can totally imagine that...
Media:vo ntaq005 7 wayna 09.ogg Wayna: Haha, well, when Chasca finally returned to human society, it was Chuychu's parents who adopted her. At the time, Chasca still had a habit of getting into fights, so Chuychu was always taking her around, apologizing to everyone.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 mualani 01.ogg Mualani: Aww, I remember those days! One of those fights was definitely with me... But, you know kids... You're fighting one minute, and you're friends the next!
Media:vo ntaq005 7 mualani 02.ogg Mualani: Eventually, she found a way to rein in that desire to fight, and now she's who people call to resolve conflicts. She's known as "the Peacemaker."
Media:vo ntaq005 7 mualani 03.ogg Mualani: ...It sounds like she still argues with Chuychu, though. Don't siblings usually stop fighting when they get older?
Media:vo ntaq005 7 wayna 10.ogg Wayna: *sigh* That's partly my fault. Chuychu asked me to stop Chasca from doing anything dangerous, but you probably know by now, once Chasca makes up her mind, there's no changing it.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 mualani 04.ogg Mualani: Ahh, I get it. No wonder you tried to talk us out of going to the Night Kingdom. Chasca even said that wasn't like you.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 wayna 11.ogg Wayna: I'm all for your adventure. You need to take risks when you're young, 'cause by the time you're my age, you couldn't attempt something like that even if you wanted to. Better try now than live with regrets later, that's what I say.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 wayna 12.ogg Wayna: Still, I can understand where Chuychu's coming from. In the end, nobody wants to sit back and let a loved one put their life on the line.

(In a nearby area)
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chuychu 05.ogg Chuychu: Alright, it's just the two of us now. You have one minute to explain yourself.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chasca 03.ogg Chasca: I don't have anything to say. You don't have to approve, but you should know I only do what's necessary.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chuychu 06.ogg Chuychu: That attitude is exactly the problem. It's like you don't care! You try to sneak off to the Night Kingdom behind my back, and then play it down, as if it's just a trip abroad.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chasca 04.ogg Chasca: Well... technically, I am going abroad, right?
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chuychu 07.ogg Chuychu: Again with the excuses!
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chasca 05.ogg Chasca: ...
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chuychu 08.ogg Chuychu: We agreed, didn't we? There are four levels of danger. If it's not something urgent, you can only engage in level 2 danger and below. You can only go up to level 3 if a situation is so dire, there's absolutely no alternative.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chuychu 09.ogg Chuychu: But, a trip to the Night Kingdom? If that's not a level 4, I don't know what is. And you were just going to sneak into the place without saying anything!
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chasca 06.ogg Chasca: What do you mean, sneak into the place? I always planned on walking in there with my head held high.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chuychu 10.ogg Chuychu: You bought off Uncle Wayna, didn't you? He promised me he'd stop you from doing anything dangerous. It's like he didn't even try!
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chasca 07.ogg Chasca: You feel like he went back on his word? What if I told you my mind was made up, and there was nothing he could have done — not even by force?
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chuychu 11.ogg Chuychu: I knew it! So he did try to say something, but you didn't listen!
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chasca 08.ogg Chasca: This is important. If you were in my shoes, you'd make the same decision.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chuychu 12.ogg Chuychu: You don't know that. I'm a doctor, and I handle logistics. If you're going to waltz into a dangerous situation where you could lose control at any moment, it's my duty to say something.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chasca 09.ogg Chasca: Alright, whatever. Anything else?
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chuychu 13.ogg Chuychu: You... What do you mean, "anything else"? Why don't you reflect on what you've done, and promise me you'll stay put.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chasca 10.ogg Chasca: Time out... Is this one of our normal arguments, or a serious one?
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chuychu 14.ogg Chuychu: Chasca, does it sound like I'm joking?
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chasca 11.ogg Chasca: Then, you need to know something. What happened to Kachina was partially my fault. I can't leave her there to die. That's not who I am.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chuychu 15.ogg Chuychu: But, the person you become when you lose control... That's also not who you are!
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chasca 12.ogg Chasca: That's a different issue. You said it yourself — a person is only as good as their morals. If I want to live in Natlan, I need to display qualities that make me worthy of this nation.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chuychu 16.ogg Chuychu: I've also told you that managing your condition is equally important.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chasca 13.ogg Chasca: Sometimes, you have to make sacrifices. Alright, let's stop this here. If we keep going, I might actually have to get serious, and I think Wayna prefers his roof attached to his house.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chuychu 17.ogg Chuychu: Is that a threat? That sounds like a threat to me.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chasca 14.ogg Chasca: Chuychu! Younger sisters are supposed to listen to their elders.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chuychu 18.ogg Chuychu: ...
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chuychu 19.ogg Chuychu: So, you're really going to go? No matter what I say? I'm supposed to be your sister...
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chasca 15.ogg Chasca: Then, support me. I'll be back, all you have to do is wait.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chuychu 20.ogg Chuychu: *sigh*... Chasca...
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chuychu 21.ogg Chuychu: So, that's it... Why'd you have to turn out to be so... darn... annoying!
(Chuychu leaves and Chasca returns to the group)
Media:vo ntaq005 7 wayna 13.ogg Wayna: *sigh*... You two are something else...
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chasca 16.ogg Chasca: Something you wanted to say?
Media:vo ntaq005 7 wayna 14.ogg Wayna: I know you aren't related by blood, but you two sure are similar.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chasca 17.ogg Chasca: Really?
Media:vo ntaq005 7 wayna 15.ogg Wayna: ...Y'know, I said that very thing to Chuychu not too long ago, and she reacted the exact same way, down to the very tone of voice.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 wayna 16.ogg Wayna: It's not my place to get involved, but I will say this... Try to spend a little more time with your sister. You're tough kids, but that doesn't mean you have to go it alone.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chasca 18.ogg Chasca: ...Thank you.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 wayna 17.ogg Wayna: Anytime... Alright, if you're done with the Spiritspeaker Stone, you might as well hand it over.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 wayna 18.ogg Wayna: According to Kinich, it's an important ceremonial artifact, so it'd be safer to keep it with me.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 mualani 05.ogg Mualani: Um, about that...
Media:vo ntaq005 7 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: *sigh*... If only Tone-Deaf Bard was here. He could have "repaired" it just like the Holy Lyre...
Media:vo ntaq005 7 chasca 19.ogg Chasca: ...It might be in a few more pieces than you remember.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 wayna 19.ogg Wayna: Huh?
You explain the sequence of events to Wayna...
Media:vo ntaq005 7 wayna 20.ogg Wayna: I see... *sigh* Sounds like it was an urgent situation. If someone's life was on the line, then you had no choice.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 wayna 21.ogg Wayna: Still, Citlali's gonna be a nightmare to deal with now that you've broken her stuff. I'll explain everything to her later.
Media:vo ntaq005 7 wayna 22.ogg Wayna: Stay safe out there in the Night Kingdom, okay? I'll wait here for your safe return.
(Quest ends)
(Talk to Wayna again, optional)
Media:vo dialog ntaq005 wayna 02.ogg Wayna: Try not to worry your families too much. After you get back, make sure to pay them a visit and let them know you're in one piece.
(Talk to Vichama, optional)
Media:vo dialog ntaq005 vichama 01.ogg Vichama: I hope you have a safe journey and overcome any danger that comes your way.
