Lotus's Lair (Epic Quests)

Lotus, who brought about disaster to Behemoth years ago, broke out of GBL's seal. Lotus controlled the mind of the giant creature Behemoth to make it sink itself into the ocean, and then he recovered his full strength. Many members of the GBL already succumbed to Lotus's mind-control power, as well as the adventurers who came to their rescue. "This is expected. Lotus is the strongest creature known to the tough world of Pandemonium, and he's also an Apostle. His mind-control power is impossible to resist," said Iris. She made you a bracelet with the ability to block Lotus's mind-control power, and introduced you to her master, Second Apostle Hilder. As if she predicted everything that was happening, Iris instructed you on what to do to defeat Lotus. You came back victorious, and she welcomed you with a mysterious smile on her face.

Quests

Resurrection of Lotus

Level	44
Quest Giver	Ophelia Bagrans
Briefing	Ophelia: "Unable to resist Lotus's mind-controlling power for long, myriad followers have joined the ranks of his army. Behemoth is writhing in its struggle to resist Lotus's clutches on its mind. It's only a matter of time before we lose all our followers to Lotus and Behemoth to the depths of the ocean, and I have no idea how to prevent that." Vangelis: "Ophelia, are you alright?" Isadora: "Please calm down. We can't give up yet. We must at least stop Lotus from entering the Ocean and recovering his full strength." Ophelia: "...I see. I'm sorry that I lost control of my emotions for a moment. It is indeed our highest priority to stop Lotus from entering the ocean. <Player>, I know this will be tough, but would you stop him?" Isadora: I'm asking of you too, <Player>. In the meantime, I'll check the ancient records to find a way to defeat Lotus."
Objectives	Clear Lotus's Lair.
Dungeon Dialogue	*Upon encountering Lotus* Lotus: "Foolish earth creatures have come to attack me. Like you could ever achieve that. Your weak minds can never escape from my clutches."
Upon Completion	Ophelia: "So her/his mind failed to resist Lotus's influence..."
Rewards	154,720 Exp 8,100 Gold

To Resist His Mental Influence

Level	44
Quest Giver	Ophelia Bagrans
Briefing	Ophelia: "<Player>, you're really strong, and even you couldn't resist Lotus's mind-controlling power. Soon Lotus will take over every living creature on Behemoth. Maybe we should leave Behemoth before it's too late. Lotus won't stop at Behemoth, but will continue his way down to Arad. Ah, holy Leslie Bagrans!" Iris: <Player>, even you couldn't resist Lotus's mind-controlling power. Not a surprise: Lotus is one of the Apostles, the most powerful entities known to Pandemonium. Apostle Lotus is his true name. No living creature has the power to resist Lotus's influence on their mind. Behemoth is strong enough to support its giant body and everything on top of it while flying in the sky, and even such a creature is on the verge of relinquishing to Lotus's control and crashing into the ocean. Fortunately, the person who sent me here invented something that can combat Lotus's mind-controlling influence. Bring me a few materials, and I can make that for you."
Objectives	Collect the following materials to make Hyper Jammer. White Cube: 0/2 Blue Cube: 0/2 Behemoth Scale Fragment: 0/5 Raw Paving Stone: 0/20 Weathered Bone Fragment: 0/20
Upon Completion	Iris: "You've brought them. Give me a moment. There, you go. Wear this bracelet, and you don't have to worry about Lotus's influence on your mind."
Rewards	116,040 Exp 4,050 Gold Hyper Jammer

Second Apostle Hilder

Level	44
Quest Giver	Iris Fortunesinger
Briefing	Iris: "Now that you have the object to resist Lotus's mind-controlling power, it's time to test its effectiveness. I can't help you prepare for the test. Go to GBL Head Librarian on Behemoth. Make sure to visit her when she's alone, or she won't talk to you."
Objectives	Go to Isadora.
Upon Completion	Isadora: "Ah, <Player>. I've been reading through some ancient tomes to figure out Lotus's weakness, but... Aw..." (Isadora collapses as someone appears before you.) Hilder: "Finally, we meet." <Player>: "Who are you?" Hilder: "My name is Hilder." <Player>: "Hilder?" Hilder: "I'm the Second Apostle of Pandemonium. I came to help you. Bakal, Ozma, Sirocco, and Lotus. These powerful entities that brought chaos and grief to your world are Apostles, just like me. I'm glad your world has someone like you to prevent true disaster from occurring." <Player>: "Wait, did you make this thing, this Hyper Jammer?" Hilder: "I did. For you." <Player>: "You said you're an Apostle like the others. Why would you want to help me kill your kind?" Hilder: Not all Apostle are evil. We are simply born with an ability that brings disaster to everyone around us. If killing the Apostles will save thousands of lives, is that not enough of a reason to do so?" <Player>: "Okay. Why don't you just gather all the 'good' Apostles together and round up the 'evil' ones?" Hilder: "We're not allowed to harm one another. We share an energy that only we can sense in each other, and it's keeping us from killing each other. But I won't allow the others to destroy a world." <Player>: I still don't know many things about you, except that all of you are inconceivably strong." Hilder: "You'll know everything soon enough. For now, let me tell you this. A long time ago, Apostle Sirocco tried to destroy your world and paid for that with her life. Her death brought back peace to your world and lush vegetation to Pandemonium. The evil Apostles have to die for new lives to bloom. Now, please come to me. I'll enchant your weapon, so that it'll absorb Lotus's energy. ...Remember, you're not only saving your world, but also others as well." Isadora: (Isadora comes back to her senses.) "Oh, did I pass out? I'm sorry. I haven't slept for days, reading through the ancient tomes. I must be incredibly exhausted."

Weaken Lotus

Quest Giver	Iris Fortunesinger

Dungeon Dialogue	*Upon encountering Apostle Lotus* Lotus: "Ah, the weaklings have come again." <Player>: "Apostle Lotus! You killed thousands of people. Today you'll pay for that with your life!" Lotus: "I feel weak. Hilder... Is she helping you? You're so stupid to know what you're doing." *Upon defeating Apostle Lotus* Lotus: "Am I going to die just like the prophesy from the Bible said? Let me ask you one last time: am I evil? I don't doubt you think so. You're foolish and just as evil as I am. You believe you're doing this to protect yourself, but it'll only lead to a disastrous result!"
Upon Completion	Iris: "Welcome, Apostle Slayer."
Rewards	154,720 Exp 8,100 Gold

Lives Born from the Death of the Apostle

Level	44
Quest Giver	Iris Fortunesinger
Briefing	Iris: "My marrelete is playing a soft melody. When Lotus fell, water flew out of the barren land of Pandemonium, forming springs and streams. This again proves the Apostles produce lives only in their deaths. Now we know what we have to do. By the way, I can't imagine the heartbreak that the deaths of myriad GBL followers must have caused its leader. Let her know your accomplishment. She'll be happy to reward you."
Objectives	Report to Ophelia with the death of Apostle Lotus.
Upon Completion	Ophelia: "Behemoth stopped shaking, and our followers have been freed from Lotus's mind-controlling influence. Oh, was that you? Ah, of course. I knew you'd save us, <Player>. Thank you so much. That wicked creature has been banished from Behemoth! I can't say how glad I am. Your heroism will be carved into the ancient holy monument of GBL to be remembered for years to come."
