Quests

Apostle Luke in the Dark

Level	87
Quest Giver	Nevillo Jurgen
Briefing	Nevillo Jurgen: "Finally, it's time we bring down Luke. Adventurer. Everyone else. Thank you so much for risking your lives to fight for the peace of Empyrean, one monster after another. I, Nevillo Jurgen, would like to thank you in the absence of the Princess and on behalf of the people of Empyrean." Meryl: "Don't you think it's too early to thank us? We haven't even fought him yet." Azalea: "Everyone, it's true Luke is a big threat, but we shouldn't kill him. Killing him will only cause a bigger tragedy." Dana Donatel: "What are you trying to say? His Black Nightmare already cost numerous lives. Why do you think we're here? We have only one opportunity to stop this evil Apostle." Isabella: "I agree. We'd better get rid of him while we can." Azalea: "...I knew it'd be difficult to persuade you, but I didn't expect you to be so close-minded. All right, then we'll have to go our separate ways." Roy: "...Huh? Does this mean we'll have to protect Luke now? For real? But why? What, kiddo? Do you have something to say? Glare daggers at me all you want--you can't scare me." Erica: "Ah, mister. You should've listened to me when I talked to you, instead of being so preoccupied with your research. Now, just shut up."
Objectives	Go to your faction leader and see what they have to say.
Upon Completion	If Faction Leader is Imperial Princess Isabella Isabella: "Ignore the Grim Seekers. I've never liked them. We too would love to talk things out, but it's just too late to do that. The damage is too severe. This has to be nipped in the bud." Nevillo Jurgen: "I agree. We should at least force Luke to abandon that castle and run away." Isabella: "It's time to fight him with all we've got. Is Empyrean ready?" Hiram: "We're good to go." If Faction Leader is Dana Donatel Dana Donatel: "I took a strong stand in that meeting because I was ticked, but I have to admit that Apostle is not to be trifled with. It's best we get rid of him, but it won't be easy. Fortunately, we have you, Adventurer, and the Imperial empress. Once we join forces, we should be able to stop Luke. Then we can move on to Pandemonium. ...I really don't want to work with the Empire, but I have to be realistic. Pandemonium! Just thinking about it makes my heart race." Meryl: "We need all the help we can get, but this belongs to Empyrean. We can't let the Imperial Army run around and do whatever they want. But Jurgen has called the Coast Guard. Hmpf, Adventurer, do you know Hiram? Be careful, he's--" Hiram: "Hello, everyone." If Faction Leader is Azalea Lott Azalea: "Maybe it's better this way. Instead of risking success by working with dubious allies, we should just have faith in each other and press on. Remember: our goal is to protect Luke, for the good of Arad and the rest of the world. His death is planned. Someone wants us to kill him and trigger the end of the world." Erica: "So is it going to be a full frontal war between us and them from now on?" Azalea: "I can't say. And Luke is behaving strangely. We should find him, wherever he is in the Castle of the Dead, and persuade him to stop threatening Arad and Empyrean." Hiram: "Persuade him? That sounds like a plan."

Deep inside the Castle

Level	87
Quest Giver	Hiram Klauf
Dungeon	Inner Castle
Briefing	If Faction Leader is Imperial Princess Isabella Hiram: "I'm sorry I couldn't come earlier. We should've been the first one to investigate the Castle of the Dead, but Anton did a number on us." Isabella: "Don't worry about it. You did a preliminary inspection on this island when it was first discovered, and brought the supplies we needed. You did more than enough. Soon we'll launch an all-out war with Luke. Sir Walshuted found a secret passageway in the archive. Sir Walshuted, you said Luke's machines came pouring in through the passageway, right?" Vaughn Walshuted: "Yes. They interfered with us, looking for a path to the giant, but in the end they led us to a hidden part of the castle." Hiram: "Hm. Tell me where this passageway is, and I'll let my men investigate it. Since Luke makes machines, I'll send an engineering expert there. Mm? Adventurer, you want to check it first? But you need rest. ...Okay. None of us knows the Black Nightmare as well as you do. Maybe it's better you check it first." If Faction Leader is Dana Donatel Hiram: "I came to introduce myself to the members of the Adventurer's Guild. I'm Hiram Klauf, captain of the Coast Guard. Ah, I'm seeing quite a few familiar faces." Meryl: "Aren't you busy? What are you doing here?" Hiram: "I made time to see you. I'm sorry, but let me cut to the chase. While you're here, I'll appreciate if you follow my instructions. I won't stop you from conducting investigations on your own, but I want to know everything you find out. This place belongs to Empyrean, and it's under my jurisdiction. I don't have enough manpower to interfere with civilian groups' investigations, and Luke is posing a big threat to Empyrean. Your cooperation will be appreciated." Dana Donatel: "(Hm, he's being more polite than I thought. Meryl, you said we should be careful, but what he's asking isn't unreasonable.)" Meryl: "(Who knows? I just hope I'm wrong about him.)" Dana Donatel: "Sure, Captain Hiram. We're happy to cooperate." Hiram: "Thank you. Then let's talk about the matter at hand. I've heard Luke is hiding." Dana Donatel: "We've discovered a hidey-hole in the back. We're planning to check it out." Hiram: "You are? I see. We'll check the outside in the meantime. Please don't go in too deep." If Faction Leader is Azalea Lott Hiram: "It'll be great if he can be persuaded, but if he was, don't you think he would've been by now? He's as dangerous as Anton, and we can't wait forever for him to change his mind. But you do have a point. If you know how to minimize the damage, then I'm willing to help." Roy: "...!" Azalea: "... You're Empyrean's..." Hiram: "Let me introduce myself. Hiram Klauf, captain of the Coast Guard. I believe this is the first time we've met each other in person, Miss Azalea. How about we do this? You know Luke better than we do. I'll let you stay on this island and support you as best as I can. If you fail to persuade Luke, however, I want you to tell me how to take care of him." Azalea: "Are you saying you've known about what we were doing all this time?" Hiram: "Let's not waste our time. You know the answer." Azalea: "...Luke is hiding deep inside the castle because he feels cornered. We have to stop him before he does something irreversible. We're not looking for him to get rid of him. We're looking for him to talk some sense into him. If you find him, promise me that you'll let us deal with him before you resort to force." Hiram: "I promise." Azalea: "Roy has finished scanning the castle. We don't have the complete map, but at least we've discovered a secret space where he might be hiding. I'll give you the map, so you can check the inside of the castle." Hiram: "Hey, Adventurer. Good to see you. Who knew we'd be working together again?"
Objectives	Explore the Inner Castle.
Dungeon Dialogue	Upon entering room A2: <Player>: "This place..."
Upon Completion	If Faction Leader is Imperial Princess Isabella Isabella: "It was filled with strange machines. Gah, I'm tired of hearing about machines. I didn't expect a big, beautiful hall, but I thought it'd be classier." If Faction Leader is Dana Donatel Dana Donatel: "You came back safely. You're reliable, as always." If Faction Leader is Azalea Lott Azalea: "Thank you. There was a place like that. Luke probably used it to create his soldiers."

Investigating the Factory

Level	87
Quest Giver	Dana Donatel
Dungeon	Sanctuary of Birth
Briefing	If Faction Leader is Imperial Princess Isabella Isabella: "Luke created his soldiers, and he could've done it in the factory. Why don't we just destroy it, then?" Hiram: "Oh no, it's not a good idea to mess with facilities built by the Apostles. Plus, it could be a setup." Isabella: "Hm, you're right. But we can't leave the enemies in there alone." Hiram: "I'll send my men to investigate the place. Luke's facilities are more akin to Empyrean technology than the Empire's magic. Hey, Mue, go there and check." Mue: "Ack, you're not telling me to go into that scary castle alone, are you? You're a bad captain!" Hiram: "Stop complaining and go. You're not a baby. Sigh, Adventurer, could you go with [her]? Tell me if [she] misbehaves." If Faction Leader is Dana Donatel Dana Donatel: "So you went to where Luke is creating his soldiers. Can we destroy it?" Meryl: "That factory is equipped with big, high-tech facilities. Destroying it might be too dangerous. Also, it could be just a setup. How about we ask Hiram to send us one of his men? We won't have to report to him every single detail to him, and he'll have an eye among us. I don't like it, but now is not the time to stand on pride." Dana Donatel: "All right, we'll do that. I'll ask him to send us one of his men. Adventurer, could you wait until a man comes from the Coast Guard and conduct an investigation with him?" If Faction Leader is Azalea Lott Azalea: "That place has to be very important to Luke, but we can't let him keep manufacturing soldiers. We have to find a way to stop that." Hiram: "How about we destroy the place?" Azalea: "But that will provoke Luke." Hiram: "I don't want to cause mayhem, but I can't leave the enemy's production facility alone. Destroying it, however, can be too dangerous unless we inspect it first. Hm... Mue, I want you to go there and check." Mue: "Ack, you're not telling me to go into that scary castle alone, are you? You're a bad captain!" Hiram: "Stop complaining and go. You're not a baby. Sigh, Adventurer, could you go with him? Tell me if [she] misbehaves."
Objectives	Explore the Sanctuary of Birth with Mue.
Dungeon Dialogue	Upon entering the dungeon: Mue: "Wow, I can't believe I'm actually inside the Castle of the Dead. I've only read about it, and this is incredible! Huh? Oh, you want me to lower my voice. Sorry! I get loud when I'm nervous... I get scolded every time, but I can't stop myself. I'll try to keep quiet. Please show me the way." Upon entering the boss room: Mue: "I think this is the control room. Let's take a look around."
Upon Completion	Mue: "Hm... I don't think this factory stands alone. I think it's connected to the other facilities in the back."

Sanctuary of Destruction

Level	87
Quest Giver	Mue
Dungeon	Sanctuary of Destruction
Briefing	Mue: "There's a place called the Sanctuary of Destruction beyond here. Since this place is called the Sanctuary of Birth, I think I know what the other place is for. Even so, I want confirmation. Let's go!"
Objectives	Explore the Sanctuary of Destruction.
Dungeon Dialogue	Upon entering the dungeon: Mue: "This place looks different from the one we saw." Upon defeating the boss: Mue: "I think junk is melted and returned to raw materials here. I thought all the Apostles would be as wacky as Anton, but maybe this one is different... Oh, I was just thinking out loud. Please don't tell that to my captain. He's been too serious, too intense lately... I don't blame him, though. Fighting one Apostle after another does that to you."
Upon Completion	Hiram: "Welcome back. How did it go?"

Path to the Next Section

Level	87
Quest Giver	Hiram Klauf
Dungeon	Sanctuary of Destruction
Briefing	Hiram: "Hm, a factory and a recycling plant... Haven't you found anything else? Like hidden bombs?" Mue: "No. We'll need more men to search the castle more thoroughly. Most of the equipment I brought with me became unresponsive inside the castle." Hiram: "I see. But is that all? There has to be more than a factory. What's in the back?" Mue: "I was just done telling you, we need more men to search it more thoroughly. That place gives me the heebie-jeebies. I can't focus on analyzing any signals!" Hiram: "...Sigh, Hulk, go with [her]." Mue: "I'll take Cohen!" Cohen: "What?!" Hiram: "I need Cohen for something else. Take Hulk, or take that Imperial Knight over there." Cyrus: "...?" Mue: "...Major Hulk, please come with us. Adventurer, you're coming, right?"
Objectives	Go to the Sanctuary of Destruction and look for a path leading to another place.
Dungeon Dialogue	Upon entering the dungeon: Mue: "Adventurer, you're so kind. On the other hand, Hulk here?" Hulk: "Do you think I wanted to come here with you? I would never go anywhere with you unless I had to. It's like a minefield wherever you go." Mue: "What? What about you? You--" Hulk: "No, we're not going there again. Stop talking. Ah, Adventurer, remember me? We've met a few times in Noblesky. Hah hah, I've always wanted to talk to you, but I didn't have a chance. Nice to meet you." Upon defeating the boss: Hulk: "What's this? Should I break it?" Mue: "No! You don't break things that you don't know anything about! Geez, you're so stupid. Err? There's a door here. They must have been guarding this door."
Upon Completion	Mue: "Something's written on it. Let me check... Mm... It's difficult to translate... How can I say this? The Sanctum... The Sanctum of Dispersion? That doesn't sound good for some reason."

Sudden Infighting

Level	87
Quest Giver	Hulk
Dungeon	Sanctuary of Dispersion
Briefing	Hulk: "Stop being so coy because you're in front of the Adventurer. Adventurer, she can kill [cockroaches] barefoot and drinks juice as if nothing happened--" Mue: "Argh! I was half-awake! I thought I stepped on some chips! Did you really have to remind me about that? Hmpf! Anyway, we're going deeper, aren't we, Adventurer?"
Objectives	Explore the Sanctuary of Dispersion.
Dungeon Dialogue	Upon entering the dungeon: Mue: "What kind of place is this? It looks different from everything else. M-maybe Luke is here. Wouldn't it be better for us to leave? Adventurer?" Hulk: "Stop being a coward. We're here to investigate." Mue: "Let's just leave. Please? I have a bad feeling about this place." <Player>: "..." Hulk: "Argh, you're embarassing me in front of the Adventurer! Stop whining. You know I hate being bothered when I'm doing something." Upon clearing room A2: Mue: "I think we've seen enough. We should go back--" Hulk: "Our orders are to investigate all the way to the back. Stop acting like a fool, or I'll shoot you." Upon entering the boss room: Hulk: "This is a dead end! Mue, do your job! How could you let us get lost in the middle of enemy territory?" Mue: "I've never been here before, and my equipment doesn't work properly in here... W-we can't do this. Let's go back." Hulk: "Sigh, you leave me little choice. You're getting in my way, and now I have to kill you." <Player>: "...!?" Hulk: "Interfere with me, and I'll kill you too!" Upon defeating the boss: Hulk: "Ugh..." Mue: "That was close. I can't believe he attacked us all of a sudden. That was cowardly of him. What do we do? He's too dangerous to be left alone. Maybe we should tie him to something solid. You want to get him out of here. But he's too dangerous to let live... All right, Adventurer, I'll do as you say."
Upon Completion	Hiram: "Mm? What happened to you? Did you fight one another? ...What? You did?"

Dangerous Energy in the Back of the Factory

Level	87
Quest Giver	Hiram Klauf
Dungeon	Sanctuary of Dispersion
Briefing	If Faction Leader is Imperial Princess Isabella Hiram: "So you felt strange when you set foot into that new place. Are you sure you weren't just too stressed out at that time?" Hulk: "Yes, I'm sure. Ugh, I hurt all over... I got annoyed all of a sudden, and I couldn't control myself. I felt like I'd become someone else, and I didn't like it." Mue: "I got scared so much that I wanted to get out of there. I felt as if the walls and ceilings were caving in on us." Cyrus: "Hmpf, you were just plain scared." Mue: "But it happened all of a sudden." Cyrus: "How can we know you're not just saying that?" Mue: (...What's wrong with [her]?) Hulk: (He's telling the truth--ouch, why did you hit me?) Hiram: "This reminds me of the Black Nightmare that you told me about before, Adventurer. Maybe Luke's power is combined with the Black Nightmare, influencing people's emotions." Isabella: "Then why wasn't this adventurer affected by it?" Hiram: "That's what I want to know. I don't think we should go deeper into the castle until we find some kind of safety device like we did to fight Anton. Adventurer, I'm sorry, but you're the only one who can do this. Please find out what the energy in that place does to the human body and how we can neutralize it." If Faction Leader is Dana Donatel Hiram: "So you felt strange when you set foot into that new place. Are you sure you weren't just too stressed out at that time?" Hulk: "Yes, I'm sure. Ugh, I'm hurt all over... I got annoyed all of a sudden, and I couldn't control myself. I felt like I'd become someone else, and I didn't like it." Mue: "I got scared so much that I wanted to get out of there. I felt as if the walls and ceilings were caving in on us." Meryl: "This reminds me of the Black Nightmare that you told me about before, Adventurer." Dana Donatel: "I agree. Maybe Luke's power is combined with the Black Nightmare, influencing people's emotions. I don't know why it didn't affect you, though, Adventurer." Hiram: "That's what I want to know too. I don't think we should go deeper into the castle until we find some kind of safety device like we did to fight Anton. Adventurer, I'm sorry, but you're the only one who can do this. Please find out what the energy in that place does to the human body and how we can neutralize it." If Faction Leader is Azalea Lott Hiram: "So you felt strange when you set foot into that new place.

Adventurer, I'm sorry, but you're the only one who can do this. Please find out what the energy in that place does to the human body and how we can neutralize it."

A Voice Coming from Afar

Level	87
Quest Giver	Hiram Klauf
Dungeon	Sanctuary of Dispersion
Briefing	Hiram: "Did you get some rest? The first analysis of the energy is complete. Doctor Meryl of the Seven Shards conducted it. In summary, the energy does have an effect on the mind, but its extent varies depending on the individual. I don't know why it affects people differently, but that's not important right now. We have to find out why it doesn't affect you, or at least how the Black Nightmare has entered the castle. Help us, will you?"
Objectives	Reach the back of the Sanctuary of Dispersion.
Dungeon Dialogue	Upon entering the dungeon: Luke: "...time ago, I started having nightmares..." <Player>: "This voice...!"
Upon Completion	Luke: "I see my own death every time I dream. I tried to avoid dying, but it wasn't easy since I'm a decrepit old man in my dreams. In them, my strong imposing body shrivels up as my breath gets shallow, and then I stop breathing altogether. I have a feeling that I'm being murdered by someone, but I have no idea who. None of my guardians are with me. They were probably killed... I'm just mumbling as I'm dying, but I can't hear what I'm saying. Just when I feel like I'm close to figuring it out, I wake up."

Trying to Stop Luke

Level	87
Quest Giver	Luke
Dungeon	Sanctuary of Birth
Briefing	Luke: "I'm afraid... I'm Luke, the king of [Heblon] and the monarch of light and darkness--I can't die such a pathetic death! This can't be fate! I won't die. I'll change fate if I must. I'll prove that premonition is wrong. I'll find light. I'll own darkness. I'll submerge everything in darkness and burn it with light. I'll get my old self back..." Keening Hilder: (...Finally...) <Player>: "...?!" Keening Hilder: (Finally, Luke's schemes are revealed!)
Objectives	Follow the voice that is coming from somewhere.
Upon Completion	If Player is from Pandemonium Keening Hilder: "Ah, funny that we're meeting here." <Player>: "Hilder!" If Player isn't from Pandemonium Keening Hilder: "Hello, Adventurer. I'm Hilder."

Hilder's Story

Level	87
Quest Giver	Keening Hilder
Dungeon	Sanctuary of Birth
Briefing	If player isn't from Pandemonium Keening Hilder: "I came to tell you something. Adventurer, as you may have noticed, the way behind me is blocked by an energy that is akin to the Black Nightmare, but much worse. Luke has created it to seal the path that leads to him. I can sense Luke's Black Nightmare that is seeping around the door frame is growing stronger. Now that he doesn't have to be secretive anymore, he's moving quickly, and with firm resolve. The time that he's been waiting [for] has also come. He wants to recover his old self and confine the entire world in the shadow of the Black Nightmare. As the monarch of Heblon, he controls both light and darkness. As long as he exists, light can't be our redemption and darkness can't be our rest. Adventurer, you must break the seal and defeat Luke. Anton has nothing on Luke or his Black Nightmare. Arad, Empyrean, and every other world outside this realm will be trapped forever inside the Black Nightmare if he has his way." <Player>: "He has to be stopped. There's no question about it, but I'm suspicious of your intentions. Are you trying to control me like you did Iris?" Keening Hilder: "Adventurer, I've helped you, and I've never tried to manipulate you. I could trick you if I really wanted, and it'd be more convenient for me. But I don't want to do that. I can't do that. I only want to stop the evil Apostle and help maintain the world's peace." <Player>: "If you need help, then why didn't you step in in the first place?" Keening Hilder: "I'm not as strong as Bakal or Anton. If I stepped in, they would've gotten rid of me. We Apostles can't kill each other, but those who are associated with us can. That's why I hid. Iris was my agent for a long time, and she's found her freedom, thanks to your wisdom." <Player>: "So many people were killed while she was under your spell." Keening Hilder: "You didn't like the way I handled things. I understand. It pained me, too. But there's only so much I can do. Even God can't save all his children, and I'm not a god. If I didn't intervene, more people could've died. If you want to avenge those who got killed in the crossfire, then get rid of the source of their tragedy. Stop it before more people fall victim to it." <Player>: "...I'll stop Luke, and I'll decide how I go about doing it. How can I break the seal?" Keening Hilder: "Go to Pandemonium. Luke has distributed some of the light energy that he has collected from other places in there, for his followers. If you can concentrate the scattered energy of light, then you can at least weaken the seal. Adventurer, please follow me. I'll guide you to Pandemonium." If player is a Priest Keening Hilder: "I came to tell you something. Adventurer, as you may have noticed, the way behind me is blocked by an energy that is akin to the Black Nightmare, but much worse. Luke has created it to seal the path that leads to him.

Arad, Empyrean, and every other world outside this realm will be trapped forever inside the Black Nightmare if he has his way." <Player>: "He has to be stopped. There's no question about it, but I'm suspicious as to why you've approached me. I got fooled by Iris once. I won't get fooled again." Keening Hilder: "Adventurer, I've helped you, and I've never tried to manipulate you. I could trick you if I really wanted, but it'd be more convenient for me. But I don't want to do that. I can't do that. I only want to stop the evil Apostle and help maintain the world's peace." <Player>: "If you need help, then why didn't you step in the first place?"

Iris was my agent for a long time, and she's found her freedom, thanks to your wisdom." <Player>: "So many people were killed while she was under your spell. Do you think you'd be confident if you have to face their spirits?" Keening Hilder: "You don't like the way I handled things. I understand. It pained me, too. But there's only so much I can do. Even God can't save all his children, and I'm not a god. If I didn't intervene, more people could've died. If you want to avenge those who got killed in the crossfire, then get rid of the source of their tragedy. Stop it before more people fall victim to it." <Player>: "...Luke has to be stopped, but only God can decide whether he should live or die. How can I break the seal?" Keening Hilder: "Go to Pandemonium. Luke has distributed some of the light energy that he has collected from other places there, for his followers. If you can concentrate the scattered energy of light, then you can at least weaken the seal. Adventurer, please follow me. I'll guide you to Pandemonium."

Arad, Empyrean, and every other world outside this realm will be trapped forever inside the Black Nightmare if he has his way. For all the faults it has, Pandemonium is still our home and we don't want it destroyed, now do we?" <Player>: "Luke has to be stopped. There's no question about it, but Hilder, you controlled Iris's mind and made her do unspeakable things. I can't let you do the same to me." Keening Hilder: "I've helped you, and I've never tried to manipulate you. I could trick you if I really wanted, but it'd be more convenient for me. But I don't want to do that. I can't do that. I only want to stop the evil Apostle and help maintain the world's peace." <Player>: "If you need help, then why didn't you step in the first place?" Keening Hilder: "I'm not as strong as Bakal or Anton. If I stepped in, they would've gotten rid of me. We Apostles can't kill each other, but those who are associated with us can. That's why I hid. Iris was my agent for a long time, and she's found her freedom, thanks to your wisdom." <Player>: "So many people were killed while she was under your spell." Keening Hilder: "You don't like the way I handled things. I understand. It pained me, too. But there's only so much I can do. Even God can't save all his children, and I'm not a god. If I didn't intervene, more people could've died. If you want to avenge those who got killed in the crossfire, then get rid of the source of their tragedy. Stop it before more people fall victim to it." <Player>: "...I'll stop Luke, and I'll decide how I go about doing it. How can I break the seal?" Keening Hilder: "Go to Pandemonium. Luke has distributed some of the light energy that he has collected from other places there, for his followers. If you can concentrate the scattered energy of light, then you can at least weaken the seal. Adventurer, please follow me. I'll guide you to Pandemonium."
Objectives	Follow Hilder.
Dungeon Dialogue	Upon entering the dungeon: Keening Hilder: "This way."
Upon Completion	If player is not an F. Mage Hilder: "Follow this path, and you can get to Pandemonium without the influence of the Black Nightmare. Make sure to take reliable comrades with you. When you get there, look for a woman called Summoner Kate. She'll help you. She's guarding Central Park beyond the desert of Pandemonium. I'll stay here and keep an eye on Luke until you return. I'll try to stall him if something happens." If player is an F. Mage Keening Hilder: "Follow this path, and you can get to Pandemonium without the influence of the Black Nightmare. Make sure to take reliable comrades with you. When you get there, look for a woman called Summoner Kate. She'll help you." <Player>: "You mean Mrs. Kate?!" Keening Hilder: "That's right. She's guarding Central Park beyond the desert of Pandemonium. I'll stay here and keep an eye on Luke until you return. I'll try to stall him if something happens."

I'll Have to Follow for Now

Level	87
Quest Giver	Hiram Klauf
Briefing	Hiram: "You're back. How did it go? You've met an Apostle. You mean, an Apostle besides Luke? ...Hm... I see." Cohen: "Captain, this is a big deal, isn't it? Hiram: "It is. Adventurer, what did she say? She wants you to go to Pandemonium and break the seal Luke has cast..."" Dana Donatel: "Adventurer. I'm glad you came back safely." Azalea: "Adventurer, Luke--" Isabella: "Say, do you think you can destroy him?" Hiram: "Oh no, it's getting crowded in here. Let's go to Sir Jurgen. He's here on behalf of the Princess. We can talk there."
Objectives	Relay what Hilder said to Jurgen. Meet Nevillo Jurgen: 0/1
Upon Completion	Nevillo Jurgen: "So there are clues in Pandemonium. Yet another Apostle has appeared, and that bothers me greatly. But at this moment, our priority is Luke. We can talk about her later. I'm not sure if we can trust that Apostle called Hilder, though. Adventurer, you said she stirred up the Arad. She can stir up Empyrean if she has a mind." Hunter Von: "*Whine* It upsets me that Hilder is being condemned because of the others." Erica: "Hilder is not bad. I don't agree with everything she does, but she doesn't do things without reason." Nevillo Jurgen: "Even madmen don't do things without reason. Her and us are on different sides. We have to worry about possible ramifications from our collaboration with her." Meryl: "I agree. But everyone from Pandemonium speaks so highly of this Apostle Hilder. She has to be different from Anton. If she wants to help this adventurer, then we shouldn't stop her. We need help from anywhere we can get it. The threat that is Luke is growing bigger by the day." Azalea: "Everyone, Hilder is not trustworthy. She's brought nothing but grief to Arad. She's up to no good." Hiram: "She might, but we have no other choice at this moment." Azalea: "..." Dana Donatel: "This means we're going to Pandemonium, to meet this summoner named Kate and find a way to break Luke's seal." Nevillo Jurgen: "I agree. Let's get ready." Azalea: "...Adventurer, there's something I'd like to talk to you about."

Wary Azalea

Level	87
Quest Giver	Azalea Lott
Briefing	Azalea: "We can't believe everything Hilder says. You haven't forgotten what she did to Arad by using Iris, have you?" Erica: "..." Azalea: "But I don't think she's trying to play you. She has her own reasons to get rid of the other Apostles. She has to know how to break his seal. Adventurer, go to Pandemonium like Hilder wants. We can't let Luke spread the Black Nightmare to the entire world. And I want to follow you to Pandemonium." Erica: "Err, then I'm coming too!" Roy: "...I'm not. I don't want to breathe in air that might be contaminated." Erica: "Err... I'm angry." Azalea: "Erica. Roy. I want you to stay here. I need you to guide them when they come." Erica: "Them, who? Ah... Well, then I guess I'm staying. I can't leave Roy alone." Roy: "Yes, you should take care of them. Hah hah hah." Isabella: "Are you guys done talking? Then Adventurer, please come this way."
Objectives	Meet Princess Isabella. Meet Isabella: 0/1
Upon Completion	Isabella: "Let me cut to the chase. I'm coming to Pandemonium."

To Pandemonium

Level	87
Quest Giver	Isabella
Dungeon	Sanctuary of Destruction
Briefing	Isabella: "I like Empyrean, but Pandemonium sounds like a more interesting place. I'm coming, no matter what you say." Vaughn Walshuted: "...You understand now, don't you?" Hartz: "Yes..." <Player>: (All the Iron Wolves look tired all of a sudden.) Nevillo Jurgen: "Sigh..." <Player>: (In fact, everyone else in here looks tired all of a sudden.) Isabella: "Not all of us can go. Not when Luke is still in the Castle of the Dead, scheming. Sir Walshuted, you're experienced in dealing with the Apostles. You have to stay. Also, Father has ordered the Iron Wolves to stay in Empyrean. To get his approval, you'll have to send a messenger, but that'll take time, which we don't have." Cyrus: "...Krueger, if--" Hartz: "Call me if you need me. My orders from His Majesty are to wait, but he'll understand if I need to help you." Cyrus: "Drat, I can't believe you're the only one i can trust in a situation like this." Hartz: "Ditto." Isabella: "Mm, none of you look too happy about this arrangement. Anyway, Adventurer, I have a special favor to ask of you. Please inspect the path to Pandemonium before we leave. I don't want to be accosted on the road." Nevillo Jurgen: "Adventurer, you came back from a place where even the Coast Guard got lost. Please help us. If something happens to the Princess, it'll severely affect the relationship between the two states."
Objectives	Find a path to Pandemonium in the Castle of the Dead.
Dungeon Dialogue	Upon encountering the boss: Becky: "Err? Adventurer! It's the Adventurer!" <Player>: "What are you doing?" Becky: "Well-met! Let's fight! Charrrrge!" Upon defeating the boss: Becky: "Ugh... You're hurting me! Stop moving! You're not giving me a chance to fight back!"
Upon Completion	Becky: "You're lucky that I'm feeling generous today. Here I am, happy to finally find a place that doesn't make my head zing, and then I met you. Bah! I hope Luke will kill you soon!" *Sticks tongue out* <Player>: "...You've been following me, haven't you?" Becky: "No, I have not!" <Player>: "Well, then did you come to see Luke? Do you know where he is?" Becky: "Of course, I do! Luke is kind to me. Heh heh! He likes me because I'm smart and strong!" <Player>: "Oh, yeah? Show me where he is." Becky: "Um... I lied. I can't go to him. He's locked himself in some place. Snader said I shouldn't see him. Luke is acting strangely, and he wouldn't talk to me anymore. Does this mean he hates me?"

Abandoned Becky

Level	87
Quest Giver	Becky
Dungeon	Sanctuary of Destruction
Briefing	Becky: "Anyway, that's why I can't go to Luke. You're here to interfere with him, aren't you? I'm not taking you to him! What? Luke is evil? No, he's not--he's brought light back to Pandemonium! All of us are grateful for him! ...Although I don't like that he put people to sleep. Is that why you want to fight Luke? Huh? You want to go to Pandemonium. Well, I don't know what's going on with you, but if you go to Pandemonium, then at least you can't interfere with Luke. Follow me. You can get to Pandemonium from there."
Objectives	Defeat everyone who gets in your way of reaching Pandemonium.
Dungeon Dialogue	Upon entering the boss room: Becky: "Snader. Hello." Purging Snader: "Homunculus, what do you think you're doing?" Becky: "This adventurer wants to go to Pandemonium. I was giving him the directions." Purging Snader: "You fool, you're helping an enemy! I tried to keep you for the dimensional navigation system, but you're too helpless." Becky: "Huh? These look just like me." Purging Snader: "Yup. We don't need you anymore." Upon defeating the boss: Purging Snader: "Luke's power can't reach this far. But once he fully recovers his power..."
Upon Completion	Becky: "Did you see them? There are so many of me. Do you think they were made by Luke as well? I thought I was special, but I'm not. I've been abandoned, just like Golc. Luke left Golc broken. He wouldn't fix me either, if I break. What are you staring at? Pandemonium is over there. Go. You want me to come with you? No. Why should I? ...It wasn't Luke who said that. I'm going to stay here. I'm not going to listen to that stupid Snader."

Hurry Back to Luke

Prerequisite	To Zelva with a Heart Full of Hope
Dungeon	Sanctuary of Dispersion
Briefing	Nevillo Jurgen: "You're back. Did you find a way to break Luke's seal?" Isabella: "I did. How's Luke?" Hartz: "He's still silent, but the energy of the Black Nightmare has gotten stronger. It's even reached this far. We were able to block it, though temporarily." Nevillo Jurgen: "Everyone has been waiting for your return. Both Empyrean and Arad are on the brink of extinction. Please hurry." Hiram: "I know you just got here, but we can't waste any more time. Stop Luke before it's too late."
Objectives	Enter the Sanctuary of Dispersion and break Luke's seal.
Upon Completion	Kasijas: "How ironic. The seal that he created to protect himself is being broken by his own power."

Volunteering for the War

Level	86
Quest Giver	Kasijas
Briefing	Kasijas: "While you were away to meet Kate, Luke's soldiers have to have regrouped. Don't you think, Hilder?" Hilder: "I do. This adventurer thinks he's ready, but he can't take on Luke by himself. The devices in this place are fueling him." Kasijas: "Well, then let's destroy them all." Hilder: "Things would be easier if you could just step in, Kasijas, but this is as much as we can do for these humans." Kasijas: "Damn, I hate rules." Hilder: "Adventurer, the bead Kate gave you still has some of Luke's light left in it, enough to protect you and your friends against the influence of the Black Nightmare. You can't do this alone. Go ask your friends for help."
Objectives	Go to your faction leader and relay Hilder's message. (Imperial/Empyrean Faction) Meet Isabella: 0/1 (Adventurer's Guild Faction) Meet Dana Donatel: 0/1 (Grim Seeker Faction) Meet Azalea Lott: 0/1
