Quests

To Go to the Castle of the Dead

Level	85
Quest Giver	Marlene Kitzka
Briefing	Marlene Kitzka: "Adventurer, I'm still grateful for your help with Anton's subjugation. I knew the operation would be a success, led by you and Commander Eagle Eye. ...I came to see you because of the Castle of the Dead. Up until a while ago, the only thing we knew about this castle was its connection to Bakal. Then we got a message from Pandemonium that the castle can only be seen sometimes because it's beyond this dimension. You said you wanted to go to the Castle of the Dead. Her Highness was going to grant your wish immediately, but then we found out this castle is more dangerous than we thought. If you still want to go, then please enter the Palace and receive an audience with Her Highness."
Objectives	Receive an audience with Empyrean Princess Erje in the Empyrean Palace. Changes to: Go to the Temporary Airfield in the Slaugh Industrial Complex, and take the gunship to Zelva.
Upon Completion	Upon talking to Erje: Erje: "Adventurer, thank you for coming. I'm glad you look healthy. I presume Marlene explained why I wanted to see you. We've discovered something new about the Castle of the Dead: its owner is an Apostle, and according to one of our investigators, his name is Luke. I can't believe this. We barely defeated Anton, and here comes another Apostle. I wish it was a joke, but the engineers who observed the Castle of the Dead said that the powerful waves coming out of that castle are similar to Anton's. This means we can no longer hold off investigating the castle. Adventurer, you said you wanted to go to the Castle of the Dead. To get to Pandemonium. Am I wrong? If worse comes to worst, you might encounter the Apostle while inside the castle, and you might have to fight him. Do you still want to go there? I see. You're determined to go to Pandemonium. I don't know why, but I believe everything you do, you do it for this world. Then you may go to Zelva. My people are waiting for you on the island. There's a temporary airfield next to the Slaugh Industrial Complex, and there, you can take the gunship to the island. I'll send word to the airfield." Upon encountering Jurgen in Zelva: Nevillo Jurgen: "I've heard you're coming. Please come this way."

The Joint Investigation Group in Zelva

Level	85
Quest Giver	Nevillo Jurgen
Briefing	Nevillo Jurgen: "I didn't have time to thank you properly when we were in Noblesky. I'm glad we meet again. I was sent here to represent Empyrean for the Joint Investigation Group. I wanted to wait until the investigation camp is settled to bring you over, but things have gotten serious more quickly than I thought. First, let me introduce you to this island, Zelva. Named after a mythical giant, Zelva is part of Anton's body protruding from the water. We believe when Anton died, he released special energy, and that caused the Castle of the Dead to fully reveal itself to this dimension from beyond it. When I heard an Apostle resides in that castle, I organized the Joint Investigation Group and came here to fulfill my duty as the regent. What's this Joint Investigation Group? It consists of investigators from Empyrean and the Empire. It represents the strong bond between the two states. Underworld is also threatened by the Apostles, isn't it? When Empyrean and the Empire join forces, there's nothing they cannot overcome." Vaughn Walshuted: "Err, Adventurer. So you made this far. You were also impressive during the battle with Anton. This is why I've been watching you." <Player>: "..." Vaughn Walshuted: "What? Do I have something on my face? Oh, right. Don't just stand here. Come with me. The Imperial Princess came. She's the leader of the Imperial investigators in the Joint Investigation Group. You've met her before, right? Why don't you come say hello?"
Objectives	Meet Imperial Princess Isabella in Zelva.
Upon Completion	Isabella: "Geez, this place is too hot! Oh, Sir Walshuted. Who's this person next to you?" Vaughn Walshuted: "Your Highness, he's the adventurer you met in the Sky Tower. You probably don't remember him because you only saw him for a moment." Isabella: "Ah, I remember now. Nice to meet you. I've heard it's easy for adventurers to get wounded. You're still in one piece. This has to prove your skill, right?" Vaughn Walshuted: "Yes. You can trust this adventurer, Your Highness." Isabella: "Oh, how amazing! Sir Walshuted, you rarely complement others. Then I'd like to officially introduce myself. My name is Isabella Catherine Heinrich De Los, the Third Princess of the Del Los Empire. I'm not used to interacting with commoners. Thank you for your understanding."

The Adventurer Guild in Zelva

Level	85
Quest Giver	Hunter Von
Briefing	If player isn't from Pandemonium Hunter Von: "Please don't look at me like I'm a freak. There are many different races of Half-breeds in Pandemonium. All the people in Arad and Empyrean look the same, and I stick out like a sore thumb." Meryl: "What's this commotion? Who's this twerp making so much noise?" Hunter Von: "Oh, I'm sorry, Meryl. I didn't mean to disturb you. This new adventurer here was surprised to see me, so..." Meryl: "Of course. If you weren't with us, you could've been mistaken for a monster. Hah hah." If player is from Pandemonium Hunter Von: "Err? You're a Pandemonian! Nice to meet you! It's been a long time since I last saw someone else from my homeland. It seems there's no Half-breed in Arad and Empyrean. Everyone I met looked identical to each other, and because I don't, I stick out like a sore thumb." Meryl: "What's this commotion? Who's this twerp making so much noise?" Hunter Von: "Oh, I'm sorry, Meryl. I didn't mean to disturb you. This new adventurer here is from my homeland, so I got overexcited." Meryl: "From your homeland? Is he also a Pandemonian? A Pandemonian reunion. Hah hah." Meryl: "Nice to meet you. You're the adventurer who brought down Anton and created this bizarre volcanic island, right? I hope Naen didn't bother you with her requests too much. Your reason for being here is obvious: to investigate the Castle of the Dead, right? We've just got to Zelva, and we didn't have time to check inside. It took us a long time to check [if] this island alone is safe. If you want to take the initiative and investigate that place, you're welcome. The vertical moving board is working properly. Feel free to get in."
Objectives	Explore the Inverted Watchtower.
Upon Completion	Meryl: "Machines that are not Empyrean are in operation. That's strange. I've heard Pandemonium lacks mastery of mechanical engineering. How come there are machines equipped with artificial intelligence there?" Hunter Von: "It's because of Apostle Luke in the Castle of the Dead. He's a genius who rebuilt the Metro Center. He's as good an inventer as the Seven Shards of Empyrean, if not better. *Ahem*" Meryl: "Oh, yeah? Then tell me about this Luke.

About Apostle Luke

Level	85
Quest Giver	Hunter Von
Briefing	Hunter Von: "The Castle of the Dead is more of a myth, even to us people of Pandemonium. It's always hidden, and I don't think even Hilder knows where it is. Luke is staying in the castle. He's dedicated to his research and the peace of Pandemonium. He's the one who brought light back to Pandemonium." Meryl: "Did he trample people to death, like Anton did?" Hunter Von: "Oh, no. He's not like that. There are some scary Apostles, but Luke is like Hilder, working to make Pandemonium a better place. Meryl, if you meet him, you'll know he's good." If player is from Pandemonium <Player>: (A good Apostle. Luke is supposed to be as good as Hilder, but what Hilder did to Arad...) Meryl: "Oh, yeah? Then can we meet him for a talk?" Hunter Von: "Well, I don't know how to contact him. *Whine* He must be somewhere in there, though...if he's not outside." Meryl: "I see. But so far nothing good came out of Anton, Bakal, and everyone else who was called an Apostle. Before we meet and talk to him, we'd better prepare in case things don't go as we planned. Adventurer, could you go bring me the components of those machines that stalk the Castle of the Dead?"
Objectives	Collect strange-looking components from the Inverted Watchtower.  Strange Component (15)

Homunculus Becky

Level	85
Quest Giver	Dana Donatel
Briefing	Dana Donatel: "Meryl, we've receiv3ed strange electromagnetic signals from the Castle of the Dead--oh, who's this?" Meryl: "This youngster is an adventurer from Arad. Jackter coudln't stop talking about his heroic exploits during the wars with the kartels and Anton." Dana Donatel: "Oh, then you're the same person that my guild master told me about." <Player>: "...?" Dana Donatel: "My name is Dana Donatel. I'm from Arad." Hunter Von: "She's the deputy master of the Adventurer Guild at which Meryl and I are members." Dana Donatel: "I think you know our leader, Karakas, right? He told me a little bit about you. I didn't know I'd see you here." Meryl: "We can introduce ourselves later. What did you say about electromagnetic signals? Give it to me. Hm. It seems this strange pattern is not of electromagnetic signals, but of the thing called mana. Can it be a message? Let's see... This, being a new pattern, took longer than I thought to translate, but here goes. 'I'm homunculus Becky. Stop interfering with Luke. Com again, and I'll shoot you far away!' What a cute threat! Hah hah." Hunter Von: "A homunculus is an artificial creature created by magic. Wow, this castle even has homunculi." Meryl: "This one called Becky must be the gatekeeper of the Castle. This confirms that the Apostle called Luke really is in there." Hunter Von: "Do you think if we talk to this homunculus, it will let the Adventurer meet Luke? We have no reason to fight him." Meryl: "I don't know. Adventurer, can you try? But unless this homunculus is stupid, it wouldn't let its guard down easily."
Objectives	Find Becky in the Inverted Watchtower and explain the situation.
Dungeon Dialogue	Upon entering the boss room: <Player>: "!" Becky: "Ah, how did you dodge that? Ah! Sh-sheesh, you're lucky I went easy on you!" <Player>: "I'm--" Becky: "I'm not going to listen to intruders! Becky punishes intruders. Everyone, attack!" Upon defeating the boss: Becky: "Old man, I fought as best as I could..."
Upon Completion	Becky: "A-are you going to kill me? Are you going to send me back to Elting Memorial?" If player isn't a Witch Becky: "What? This wouldn't have happened if I didn't lash out. Are you kidding me? You intruded! I am to send anyone who intrudes Luke's lab flying! What? You don't think I know where Grandpa Lu--I mean, Luke is. No. I know where he is. He's in his secret underground lab! But you can't get in. His defense system will catch you and SNAP! You'll be dead. *Snort* You're a fool if you think I'm worried about you. Because I'm not. Why would I? I'm just warning you. Die! Fools! Nitwits! Fish eyes! Heeek! I-I'm sorry I called you names. I won't do it again. Please don't glare at me..." If player is a Witch <Player>: "No. You're an interesting homunculus. I want to dissect you." Becky: "WAH! <Player>: "I was joking. You're a homunuclus from Elting Memorial, huh? You're powerful for a prototype." Becky: "*Snort* I'm chosen by Grandpa Lu--I mean, Luke himself! I'm not like those third-rate homunculi of yours!" <Player>: "Oh, yeah? Then do you know where Luke is? You don't, do you? He wouldn't tell some weak homunculus where he is. He's probably hiding in Metro Center because he can't trust you." Becky: "NO! Luke trusts me! He's in his secret laboratory in the basement!" <Player>: "Are you sure? You're not dreaming? All right, I believe you. But it's not clear if Luke really trusts you, so why don't I go to his secret laboratory and talk to him for you?" Becky: "*Snort* Luke really is in there! But you can't get in. His defense system will catch you and SNAP! You'll be dead." <Player>: "Are you worried about me? How sweet! But don't worry. I've gone on enough adventures to know what I'm doing." Becky: "A-adventures? Wow... I'd love to go out--no, I've never wanted to go outside. I swear!"

Dungeon Dialogue	Upon entering the dungeon: Azalea: "Adventurer, I haven't seen you since you returned from your trip beyond the dimension. How are you? I came as soon as I heard you went to the Castle of the Dead. Yes, we Grim Seekers are also part of the Castle of the Dead investigation group. Since Anton, Empyrean has become so wary of the Apostles that it welcomes anyone, even if they're not related to it, who wants to help it with them. In fact, it was us Grim Seekers who informed the Empyrean Princess of Luke and his castle. She didn't believe us, but after her people came to Zelva, she reluctantly agreed that there was something here. And Luke isn't the only one who's here. Perhaps you and I can find out what else is there. What do you say?"

The Grim Seekers in Zelva

Level	85
Quest Giver	Azalea
Briefing	Azalea: "Sparkly, isn't it? This is Luke's optics research center. That gigantic speculum reflects and deflects light, making the Castle of the Dead disappear, like a mirage. It's the reason this castle is hardly visible even from Pandemonium. Even Apostle Hilder wouldn't have been able to come here easily. But the real purpose of this research center is something else, to absorb light from Empyrean. I think Luke is converting the light to fuel himself. I'll tell you why I think this way and what I want you to see in this place...when we go outside. Luke has ears everywhere in here."
Objectives	Leave the Castle of the Dead and meet Azalea.
Upon Completion	Azalea: "This is where we Grim Seekers are camping. Roy and Erica are helping us." Roy: "Who is he? A potential member?" Azalea: "He's the adventurer I told you about before." Roy: "Hm... He doesn't look as smart as you said he was. But why do I care? He's not my responsibility." Erica: "Roy, don't be so rude! You're embarrassing Azalea. Hello, Adventurer. I'm Erica. I haven't been a Grim Seeker for a long time, but I've heard many great things about you." If player isn't from Pandemonium Erica: "Nice to meet you. Oh, I'm also from Pandemonium, but I'm of a different race from that Half-breed at the Adventurer Guild. Ho ho." If player is from Pandemonium Erica: "I'm so happy that you're from my hometown! Welcome."

Cyrus: "You should. Your country is only as sage as she is. You'd better make sure there are no potential threats." Dana Donatel: "Then she needs to leave Zelva. I experienced the defense system myself, and it's pretty powerful. If you want to protect your princess, then you should get her as far away as you can from here." Cyrus: "Or I can destroy that defense system. Take me to it." If player is a Dragon Knight <Player>: (An artificial dragon created by Apostle Luke... Interesting.) If player is a Female Slayer <Player>: (Cyrus. She's the Imperial Princess's guard and the closest person to her. I need to know her strength to prepare for the future.) "All right, come with me."

Being in this castle puts me on edge every time. I can't wait to get done with it." Hartz: "I'm worried he might blow up this whole island, and we might not have enough time to evacuate the Princess." Vaughn Walshuted: "I tried to tell her that, but she wouldn't have any of it. She thinks we're being overprotective. She won't leave unless we can prove Luke can destroy this island at any time. Geez, why did His Majesty let her come here? She should've stayed in Ghent with the other princess, strolling around the garden and admiring the flowers. Sigh..." Upon talking to Hartz: Hartz: "By the way, Master, why did you volunteer to help Cyrus? I thought you wanted nothing to do with her." Vaughn Walshuted: "Are you asking if I have some reason other than to keep the Apostle in check? Yes. If Cyrus gets hurt or dies, I'll have to escort Her Highness myself, and I don't want that. Don't let Her Highness know, though." Hartz: "Why are you afraid of Her Highness so much? She's polite and dignified She said she's sorry that she came here only to burden us."

Iron Aim's Structure

Level	85
Quest Giver	Meryl
Briefing	Meryl: "Ah, did you get some parts? Then let me check them along with the thing that the kid brought to me... Yes. This is terranite. You know what it is. Good, then I don't have to explain. It's a mineral originated from Pandemonium. Empyrean Headquarters had it in small quantities, so I asked it to bring it to me. There was something I wanted to check with it. That dragon is created by the Apostle of Pandemonium. There has to be common factors shared between it and this mineral. Hm... This reaction... Then that dragon also must--why is that twerp back?" Roy: "Meryl! Don't you really remember me? I understand you're losing brain cells every day, but you have to have thought about the time you spent with me at least once a day. Unless you're senile, you can't forget such a repetitive experience--" Meryl: "You little numbskull! Stop using that tone of voice with me. I'm thrice as old then you! Where did this dunce come from, anyway? I'm going to throw you into the sea and watch you get stuck between Anton's teeth!" Roy: "You would drown my genius in the sea? How could you be so mean? What happened to you? When did you become this crazy hag? Wah! You're trying to burn me with your cigarette butt! You're crazier than I thought. Go away!" Hunter Von: "*Yip* It took all my energy to separate them last time. What do I do, Adventurer?!" If player is a Priest or Lightbringer <Player>: "Just close your eyes and pray to God." If player is not a Priest nor Lightbringer <Player>: "I don't know..." Hunter Von: "You never miss out on a chance to preach, do you? *Whine*" Meryl: "Whew. Anyway, terranite is strong, but not as strong as you said. The dragon must have some special energy running along its surface, and that energy must deflect enemy attacks." Roy: "...So if you want to destroy Iron Aim, find the device that feeds the energy to the dragon and destroy it! Hah! I said it first!" Meryl: "*Sigh* Who's the guardian of this twerp? Adventurer, to get past iron Aim, you must eliminate the device that supplies it with the energy. Have I seen it? No. But you could've; you just not recognized it. Luke is not stupid. He has to have hidden his defense system's weaknesses. Some of the enemies you ignored must have been modified. Find and get rid of them. You can't remember. Then destroy everything you see. If you can't single them out, you'll just have to get rid of everything and hope they're among them. And stop asking me for help like a baby."

My life hasn't been much, but if anything, I'm a good listener. If you want to talk, I'm here. I can give you advice on life, adventurers, girls, girls... Ah, I miss my Emily! Anyway, stop staring at me and talk to me. You're frustrating me." Upon defeating the boss: Vaughn Walshuted: "I think someone else passed by here..." <Player>: "...Vilmark." Vaughn Walshuted: "Mm?" <Player>: "Vilmark's Metastasis experimentation. Why?" Vaughn Walshuted: "...How do you know about that? It's a shame, but I was ordered to participate in it. I can barely remember what went on, though. Why don't we focus on Luke for now? I talked about this with the Deputy Master before, but this castle is filled with some evil energy. At first, I brushed it off as the Apostle's, but..." <Player>: "...!" Erica: "It's the Black Nightmer's. Luke... Why...?"

Owner of the Banquet Hall of Light

Level	85
Quest Giver	Erica
Briefing	Erica: "The others are the same. Everyone's feeling drowsy, but so far none of us are experiencing a serious problem." Dana Donatel: "Meryl says she's tired, but Von and I are fine at this moment." Nevillo Jurgen: "I feel dizzy. I wonder if Luke has poisoned us." Hartz: "It seems the ominous energy I felt in the Castle of the Dead has followed us all the way here. Darkness also must be part of Luke's power." Vaughn Walshuted: "I see. Is he capable of both powers of light and darkness? Hey, what happens when someone's exposed to the Black Nightmare for a long time?" Erica: "He would fall asleep, and then wake up a completely different person. He'd be angry at the world so much that he'd want to destroy everything. Because he's lost all his bright energy." Dana Donatel: "Adventurer, do you know about the Black Nightmare? It spread in Mount Thunderime as well. So it already caused damage to Arad. Did Apostle Luke really spread this terrible thing?" Nevillo Jurgen: "If this energy is capable of traveling through dimensions, then it can definitely affect everywhere around this castle, including Empyrean." Hunter Von: "The Black Nightmare? *Whine* Even its name is scary..." <Player>: (This is definitely similar to the Black Nightmare, but I don't think it's the same...) Isabella: "All Apostles are harmful without exception." Vaughn Walshuted: "Your Highness, you must leave Zelva with Sir Jurgen. This place is too dangerous." Isabella: "No./ I'm the leader of the Imperial members of the Joint Investigation Group. I came here, knowing the risks. I'm not going to run in the face of the enemy." Nevillo Jurgen: "As the leader of the Empyrean members, I also refuse to run away from this threat of the evil Apostle." Vaughn Walshuted: "My head hurts. Adventurer, help. To address this situation, we must search the Castle of the Dead for Luke. And Erica, you should stay here." Erica: "Okay, I'm sorry. I just have too many things to think about." Vaughn Walshuted: "Adventurer, let's go to the Castle of the Dead. I want to find the clown that the Grim Seekers met first."
