Quests

To Zelva with a Heart Full of Hope

Level	86
Quest Giver	Kasijas
Briefing	Kasijas: "You're not going there to have fun. Depending on the situation, you might have to kill an Apostle. Are you sure you can do that to Luke?" Niu: "I can't say I am, but Kasijas, there' something I have to know. Someone has been completely different person all of the sudden, and I want to know why." Kasijas: "Obviously, that's Luke's doing. No one can change all of a sudden without intervention from some higher forces." Niu: "..." Pai: "...Sister." Niu: "...Okay. I don't want to be a burden. Someone has to stay here and watch the forest, anyway. Adventurer, if you happen to meet Aslan in the Castle of the Dead, could oyu please ask him if he doesn't want to come back? I know we've just met and it's presumptuous of me to ask you personal favors. And Pipi probably wouldn't approve of this, but Aslan is the reason why we're here. I can't... I can't leave him the way he is. Ah... Thank you. Thank you so much, Adventurer." Dana Donatel: "Then... Von, what are you going to do? You might have to be responsible for Luke's death, and that's not what you want, is it? Why don't you stay here?" Hunter Von: "*Whine* But I'm a member of my guild. I dread waht we might have to do, but I don't want to run away. And my friends need me to navigate the way back for them. Adventurer, I didn't sit around with my thumb up my butt while you were busy fighting. Instead, I've checked all the bypaths and resting spots. I Bet no one knows the routes between Central Park and the Castle of the Dead better than I do. *Ahem*" Dana Donatel: "Ho ho. I see. Then please forget what I said. Now, Adventurer, it's time you leave and bring hope back to those who have been waiting for you."
Objectives	Return to Zelva and talk to Hunter Von.
Upon Completion	Hunter Von: "Ugh, I knew that route by hear, but I didn't know it'd be so tough using it. Maybe I should choose an easier route than a shortcut next time... *Whine* By the way, the Castle of the Dead looks more dreadful than it was before. Luke..."

Hurry Back to Luke

Level	86
Quest Giver	Hiram
Briefing	Hiram: "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 th 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 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	Unknown
Upon Completion	Player is a member of the Adventurer's Guild Dana Donatel: "Are you sure, Meryl? Can you extract it?" Meryl: "Sure, I can try. By the way, are all these soldiers really necessary? They're even flipping through my notebooks now. Am I being watched?" Hiram: "Of course not. They must have opened your notebooks while cleaning things around. I assure you they're not here to spy on you or touch your things. By the way, when did he come here? Meryl, did you call the Ghent Garrison for help?" Woon: "The Princess has sent me to support Doctor Pioneer." Hiram: "I thought you'd be escorting Sir Jurgen or helping the Coast Guard. What's going on, Woon?" Woon: "I'm just following my orders." Hiram: "From the Princess, not Commander Eagle Eye. Well, then I have nothing to say. Then help the doctor, though I have no idea what you can do for her." Meryl: "Don't say that. He's more useful than you think. He helped Naen, and he knows what we need better than some militant meatheads do." Hiram: "If you have no problem with him, then I won't either. By the way, could you finish processing that thing called Luke's light? His threat is getting serious by the day. Ah, Colonel Lyonir, you can't enter the Castle off the Dead, so don't try too hard. This is not joint training, and we have operational authority. You know that, right?" Woon: "Yes, ma'am." Hiram: "That's a good boy. You wouldn't have been hurt if you behaved so well when you were young. Meryl, we'll get out of your hair now. We have places we need to patrol. Let me know when you're done." Player is a Grim Seeker Azalea: "Kate said this bead had only enough power to weaken Luke's seal. Now his seal is broken, and the bead still has some power left in it because the two Apostles have been supporting you. Their subconscious energy must have intensified the bead's power. They may not be able to fight alongside you in the battlefield, but their support has given you strength. I don't know what Luke would think of it, though. I hope he won't mistake it as an attack." Hiram: "Well, I'll leave the persuading to you, and thank you for processing the bead that the adventurer has brought." Azalea: "I understand. I'll let you know when Roy's done." Player is part of the Joint Investigation Group Isabella: "That's good to hear. I wasn't comfortable letting you go alone." Hiram: "My men and I can go with you. We need to let off some steam, anyway." Nevillo Jurgen: "The princess of the Empire went to Pandemonium for this operation. The Empyrean Army should step in. Captain Hiram. I expect you to bring good news." Isabella: "I went there because I wanted to. I won't let the Empyrean Army assume all the burden. Sir Krueger, are you ready? Has Sir Walshuted returned?" Vaughn Walshuted: "I'm here, Your Highness. I shouldn't have left you. You're suffered hardship and I wasn't there to protect you. I'm sorry, Your Highness." Isabella: "No, please. I volunteered to go there, and I didn't want to disappoint Father. Please stand up. Everyone's here. It's time the Empire and Empyrean join forces and punish Luke for threatening the peace of our world. We can't give up now. We have people to protect. Please do your best until the very last moment." Hartz: "Yes, Your Highness." Hiram: "We will, Your Highness."

Altar of Light

Level	86
Quest Giver	Hiram
Briefing	Player is a member of the Adventurer's Guild Hiram: "Ah, Adventurer. Are you ready? We are. That knight master named Vaughn Walshuted has returned, and the Imperial Army will go in there with us. We will have to scatter soon, to find Luke. Hah hah hah. Relax. You survived Anton with flying colors--you can survive this. Everyone's relying on you, so chin up. Heroes must appear poised, no matter how nervous they really are. Now, let's get in, shall we? I'm fed up with the Apostles. I can't wait to get this over with." Dana Donatel: "Adventurer, we're sorry that [we] can't follow you in there, but we'll pray for your safe return from here. Good luck saving this world from the threat of the Black Nightmare." Hunter Von: "A-Adventurer... *Whine* Please be careful." Woon: "I can't leave my post without Captain Hiram's approval, but I'll be here in case you need me." Meryl: "Pigtails, keep this adventurer safe, got it?" Hiram: "Will do." Player is a Grim Seeker Hiram: "Ah, Adventurer. Are you ready? We are. That knight master named Vaughn Walshuted has returned, and the Imperial Army will go in there with us. We will have to scatter soon, to find Luke. Hah hah hah. Relax. You survived Anton with flying colors--you can survive this. Everyone's relying on you, so chin up. Heroes must appear poised, no matter how nervous they really are. Now, let's get in, shall we? I'm fed up with the Apostles. I can't wait to get this over with." Azalea: "Let me come with you." Hiram: "Hm... Well, alright, as long as you can fend for yourself." Player is part of the Joint Investigation Group Hiram: "Ah, Adventurer. Are you ready? We are. We can finally get into that castle, and it's all thanks to you. Hah hah hah. Relax. You survived Anton with flying colors--you can survive this. Everyone' relying on you, so chin up. Heroes must appear poised, no matter how nervous they really are. Now, let's get in, shall we? I'm fed up with the Apostles. I can't wait to get this over with." Isabella: "Adventurer, good luck. I can't come with you because I'll only be a burden, but I'll pray for your safe return from here." Cyrus: "We've got only one chance to do this. Don't mess it up." Nevillo Jurgen: "Good luck." Hartz: "...Why are you starring at me? All of us are going into a lion's den together. If you want some words of encouragement, then ask my boss." Vaughn Walshuted: "Hah hah, I'm so excited! Ah, I miss Emily!" Hartz: "Master, you embarrass me."
Objectives	Unknown
Upon Completion	Hiram: "This guy was a gatekeeper. Everything he did--trying to kill Kate who knew how to break Luke's seal, and waiting here for us--he did it to buy time. But good thing he opened the gate to the inside of the castle, to send energy to Luke. We don't have to waste more time on trying to open it." Hulk: "What do we do now?" Hiram: "We go in. We'll only die if worse comes to worst." Cohen: "But I don't want to die..."

Altar of Darkness

Level	86
Quest Giver	Hiram
Briefing	Hiram: "What's this place? It has completely different atmosphere from the other place. If the other place was light, this is darkness. The contrast is stark." Mue: "It's amazing that there's both light and darkness in one person." Hiram: "Usually light represents good, and darkness evil. Luke has both. He's the hero of Pandemonium, but he's a villain to us. These altars show those extreme sides of him." Cohen: "That's because we're expecting different things from him, isn't it?" Hiram: "It is. He's good or evil, depending on which side you're on. But I don't care. I don't like him, and I want to get rid of him. He's toyed with Empyrean long enough. It's going to be a tough fight in here, but that means we're getting closer to Luke. Come on, let's do this."
Objectives	Unknown
Upon Completion	Vaughn Walshuted: "The gate to the inside has opened. Maybe Luke is really not going to stop us... By the way, who's that? Adventurer, do you know her? She's been following her for a while." Becky: "...Err? Um, how did you know i was following you? Hey, do you have eyes on the back of your head?" Hiram: "It's a child. Is that the homonculus Doctor Meryl mentioned? Hm, she's interesting." Becky: "You knocked down Veara. Are you...are you really going to fight Grandpa Lu--I mean, Luke? You'll die, you know. I'm serious--you'll die." Vaughn Walshuted: "We'll die even if we don't fight. Why are you here? Are you here to stop us? Do you want to fight?" Becky: "You fool, when did I say that? I'm not going to fight you. I'm not crazy!" Vaughn Walshuted: "...Aww...Emily, I'm hurt..." Hiram: "...Can we be a little more serious?"

To Luke's Lab

Level	86
Quest Giver	Vaughn Walshuted
Briefing	Vaughn Walshuted: "Ah. If you're not here to talk and distract me, then leave. If you're here to see Luke, then go ahead." Hiram: "I say we get rid of him." Vaughn Walshuted: "I agree, but I'm a knight: I can't kill children even if they're [not] really children." Becky: "Even if you want to go to Luke, you can't go right now, you fool! Get in now, and you'll die. How can you not know that?" Vaughn Walshuted: "What are you talking about? I do hate the energy I'm sensing from the inside, but..." Kasijas: "That kiddo's right." Vaughn Walshuted: "Wah! Geez! Um? Uh..." Hilder: "Don't be alarmed. We're not enemies. I'm Hilder, and this is Kasijas. We were able to enter the castle because you've opened the gate that Luke closed shut. The place in front of you is filled with Luke's Black Nightmare. That small light you have with you is not strong enough to protect you against it. Go in now, and you'll lose your minds to the Black Nightmare." Hiram: "No, we've come too far to fail our operation." Kasijas: "Each one of you needs a strong shield, like the blessing Hilder has cast on the adventurer, and she can't cast it for anyone else." Hiram: "Does that mean the adventurer has to confront Luke by himself? That's too dangerous." Hilder: "It was also dangerous for us to come here to kill the Apostle. Don't worry. I'll follow him. I may not be able to fight Luke, but I can feel him out." Player is a member of the Adventurer's Guild Kasijas: "I'll come with you too. I didn't come this far to stand behind and just wait and see what happens." Hilder: "Swordsman who defeated Sirocco. Soldier of Empyrean. I won't allow you to move forward. It's for your own good. You should stay here and stand by." Hiram: "Hmpf! I'm sorry, Adventurer, I can't help you. Good luck." Vaughn Walshuted: "Bah, do I have to stay here and babysit this kid? Gosh, if His Majesty knows--" Becky: "Who babysits who? Stop talking nonsense!" Vaughn Walshuted: "..." Hilder: "Homunculus, you were born in Pandemonium and have lived here for a long time after Luke modified you. When this is over, you can finally be your own master. We'll help you." Becky: "...Shut up. If only I were a thousand years older, I would've been stronger than Luke and could've beat you up easily!" Kasijas: "Spunky, aren't you? Now, Adventurer, go. I can tell Luke is waiting for you." Player is a Grim Seeker Kasijas: "I'll come with you too. I didn't come this far to stand behind and pick my ears." Azalea: "Wait! Hilder, I don't think it's a good idea for you to go with them. You want to get rid of Luke and he knows that. Seeing you won't make him happy." Hilder: "You... You're definitely not as ordinary as I thought. You have a point. I'll remain here. Swordsman who defeated Sirocco. Soldier of Empyrean. I advise you to remain here as well. It's for your own good." Hiram: "Hmpf! I'm sorry, Adventurer, I can't help you. Good luck." Vaughn Walshuted: "Bah, do I have to stay here and babysit this kid? Gosh, if His Majesty knows--" Becky: "Who babysits who? Stop talking nonsense!" Vaughn Walshuted: "..." Hilder: "Homunculus, you were born in Pandemonium and have lived here for a long time after Luke modified you. When this is over, you can finally be your own master. We'll help you." Becky: "...Shut up. If only I were a thousand years older, I would've been stronger than Luke and could've beat you up easily!" Kasijas: "Spunky, aren't you? Now, Adventurer, go. I can tell Luke is waiting for you."
Objectives	Unknown
Upon Completion	Kasijas: "I don't know what you want to say. Doing that wouldn't keep you alive--it'll only attract more enemies. Why would you volunteer for trouble? Stop now, or you'll have one more enemy to deal with." Luke: "Kasijas. Why are you here? Don't you have battles to follow?" Kasijas: "I've ignored the other Apostles because whatever they did didn't bother me. Sirocco helped distinguish good warriors from posers, and the other have led me to this adventurer. I welcome a ruckus every now and then. It saves me time to look for interesting fights. But what you've been doing is over the line. You want to destroy Arad--but it's my playground! I have nowhere else to go play!" Player is a member of the Adventurer's Guild Hilder: "...Is that why you've been helping me?" Kasijas: "Of course. Keeping my sword in active use and free of rust is my top priority. Now, Luke. Let me ask you again: are you really going to sacrifice Arad for your selfish needs?" Player is a Grim Seeker Luke: "Is that why you've been interfering with me, even when you didn't know what Hilder is up to?" Kasijas: "Of course. Keeping my sword in active use and free of rust is my top priority. Now, Luke. Let me ask you again: are you really going to sacrifice Arad for your selfish needs?"

Apostle Luke

Level	86
Quest Giver	Luke
Briefing	Player is a member of the Adventurer's Guild Luke: "Funny. Grit your teeth all you want. That's the only thing you can do. We Apostles can't kill each other. Hilder. That's why you've guided that adventurer to me. Yes, I kept dreaming about someone killing me, and I was afraid because after I left Heblon, I was so weak that I couldn't even remember who I was. But I already overcame the prophecy. All this time you thought you were controlling me, but everything has transpired just as I intended. The only thing left for me to do now is to bring this changed future into the present." Hilder: "...You're saying you won't stop attacking Arad. It's a shame, Luke. I thought you'd continue to take care of Pandemonium." Luke: "I will continue to take care of Pandemonium. I'll make it the most prosperous, happiest place to be, but will never enjoy it. A new age is coming. New Apostles will assist me. I, king of Heblon, won't die. I'll never die. Bring it on, Hilder's Puppet. I'll break the only weapon she's got right before everyone else." Kasijas: "He's not going to listen to reason. Adventurer, kill him if you want to live. The Black Nightmare has already crept outside the castle and encroached upon the seas of Empyrean. This is the only way to save Arad." Player is a Grim Seeker Luke: "Funny. Grit your teeth all you want. That's the only thing you can do. We Apostles can't kill each other. Hilder. That's why you've guided that adventurer to me. Yes, I kept dreaming about someone killing me, and I was afraid because after I left Heblon, I was so weak that I couldn't even remember who I was. But I already overcame the prophecy. All this time you thought you were controlling me, but everything has transpired just as I intended. The only thing left for me to do now is to bring this changed future into the present. I will continue to take care of Pandemonium. I'll make it the most prosperous, happiest place to be. A new age will come, and new Apostles will assist me. I, king of Heblon, won't die. I'll never die." Kasijas: "...Believe it or not, this adventurer didn't come here to kill you. He won't, so long as you leave Arad alone. Neither will I." Luke: "What are you talking about. Sword Fiend?" Kasijas: "Someone in Central Park wants you to live. She cooperated with us in breaking your seal because she wanted to help you. I'm telling you this on her behalf. This is your last chance, Luke. Don't waste it. If this adventurer fails, Hilder will just send another and she won't stop until you're dead. Make your decision carefully." Luke: "..." Kasijas: "Adventurer, go. I said my piece. Kate has trusted you with this, so I won't intervene anymore."

Upon Completion	Player is a member of the Adventurer's Guild Dana Donatel: "Adventurer, are you okay? Thank the gods, you're not hurt. You look weak, though. Do you think you can stand up?" Meryl: "The Black Nightmare is dissipating. Is that the reason why I blacked out? I must have not blacked out for too long, though. I don't see any gashes or bruises on me. Whew." Hunter Von: "*Whine* I was terrified. I'm sad Luke is dead, but... Argh, I don't know how to describe how I feel except that I'm sad." Dana Donatel: "Von. No one thinks it's wrong that you feel sad for his death. But don't let yourself fall into despair. What you've experienced today will make you stronger." Hunter Von: "...Okay... *Sniffle*" Meryl: "Hey, kiddo. We'll finish things up here. Go report to Her Highness. You've got the report I gave you, right? Don't let the Coast Guard take it away from you." Woon: "Thank you for your cooperation." Meryl: "No, thank you. I made you come this far. That knucklehead Jackter has gotten more flexible than he was when he was younger. Looking at him, I realize how fast time goes by." Dana Donatel: "Oh, you're going to continue your journey, right? I haven't told you everything about Pandemonium." Meryl: "Of course. Now that Luke is gone, order will be restored to my country, and I don't have to be back for a while. *Chuckle*" Isabella: "Why do we have to leave in such a hurry?" Dana Donatel: "Hm? Something's happening over there." Meryl: "What's going on? Those dirtbags can never keep it quiet, can they? Adventurer, go find out what happened. And kiddo, go report to the Princess before Pigtails picks on you." Woon: "Yes, ma'am. I'll leave right away. Adventurer, see you soon." Player is a Grim Seeker Azalea: "...Luke...has perished..." Erica: "Luke..." Roy: "Aww, my head? When did I fall asleep? Huh? Luke's dead? Good riddance! We can go back home now, can't we?" Erica: "*Sniffle* Wh-what? Grr, you stupid coot!" Roy: "Ouch! Why are you mad at me? I'm not the one who killed him!" Erica: "*Sniffle* Boohoo! It Doesn't matter! My brain understands Luke had it coming, but my heart refuses to believe it. *Sniffle*" Azalea: "Erica, you grew up in Pandemonium. It's only natural you grieve over his death. And...his death is devastating to all of us." Erica: "*Sniffle* Azalea, what should we do now? Now that he's dead, the end of the world is near, isn't it? How do you think the others in the Tower of Despair will react? What if they get angry? What do we do then, Azalea?" Roy: "Why would they get angry at us? It was Vaughn Walshuted who killed him, and it's not like we forced him." Azalea: "This happened because I let my guard down. I believed we really couldn't get closer to Luke, and she's focused on protecting the adventurer from the Black Nightmare. She gave her blessing to Vaughn Walshuted while I looked the other way. I forgot he defeated an Apostle before." Erica: "Azalea, don't blame yourself. It was Hilder. We couldn't stop her, even if we wanted to." Azalea: "..." Isabella: "Why do we have to leave in such a hurry?" Erica: "*Sniffle* I hear a commotion over there. I'll go check." Roy: "Um, let me come with you."

Dungeon	Red Witch's Forest
Briefing	Kate: "What are you going to do now? The Black Nightmare that threatened Arad disappeared along with Luke. Now that the root of evil that you've pursued is gone, you have nothing else to do. ...I understand. I don't know if I can think of you the same as I do other adventurers, but if going back to what you used to--a carefree adventurer--is what you want, then so be it. I assume you'll meet new people and visit new places, practicing your fighting skills and quenching your thirst for knowledge, huh? Maybe this is a new beginning for you as an adventurer. *Chuckle* You're enthusiastic, aren't you? I like it. Central Park welcomes you. Feel free to stay here when you come to Pandemonium. Niu? She knows that already. She knew he couldn't be saved, but she refused to believe it. She was depressed, but she's getting out of it, slowly. This is one of the things she has to endure. Fortunately, she's strong and her sisters are there for her. She'll get over this soon. Don't worry. ...Oh, right. Kasijas said he'd be in the forest. Maybe he knew you were coming. Why don't you go see him?"
Objectives	Find Kasijas in the Red Witch's Forest.
Upon Completion	Kasijas: "Hilder knows you're wary of her, but she doesn't care because she's an Apostle, and you're just a human, no matter how powerful you are. You don't think you're the only one who has drawn her attention, do you? You're more impressive than anyone else, but the moment she thinks you've become useless, she'll abandon you without hesitance, like she did Luke. I don't know what Hilder is up to, and I don't care. But I'm not you. If you want to live, if you don't want to be abandoned like garbage, then find out what she's up to. Find out what she knows, what she wants, everything. It's the only way you can survive. Survive whatever fate throws at you. Become stronger. I want it to be you whom I have to fight before I fight Cain."
