How Far Does the Nightmare Stretch?

Level	50
Quest Giver	Valena
Briefing	Valena: "You must be exhausted from searching for the Chief all day. I'm sorry, and thank you for doing this for us. You're the only hope we have. I know the Chief will be back safely. I just don't know what's taking him so long. *Shakes her head* I've grown too soft over the years." Michelle: "The Bantus are worried sick for their chief's safety, but I have no definite answer for them. I feel guilty and frustrated. Even though we've learned so much about the Nightmare, I still don't know what to do about it."
Objectives	Clear Black Mount Thunderime while searching for clues.
Upon Completion	Michelle: "I should be the one helping you, and yet it's you who does the helping every time. Thank you so much for risking your life to explore the Nightmare for me and the other Bantus. Thank you."

Sight of Mount Thunderime

Level	50
Quest Giver	Michelle Monohan

Save Bwanga from the Nightmare

Level	50
Quest Giver	Michelle Monohan
Briefing	Michelle: "I've deduced Bwanga's location from the Nightmare shards you brought. I hope he's not watching another nightmare... I'll be here, keeping an eye on the Foundation of the Nightmare. I can't lock on your exact location, but my estimation should be close enough. Please enter the Nightmare and look for Bwanga. Good luck finding him."
Objectives	Find Bwanga in Black Mount Thunderime on Hard or a higher level. (You can only go on this quest alone.) Find Bwanga: 0/1
Dungeon Dialogue	*Upon encountering Bwanga* Bwanga: "...Who are you? I've seen you around this mountain lately. Michelle sent you. Ah, I see. I walked in the nightmares for so long that my sense of reality has dulled. Thank you for coming this far. Let's go. I came back to my hometown and enjoyed the snow. I can die a happy man."
Upon Completion	Bwanga: "I went out for a walk and didn't know how long it passed. I'm sorry for making you all worried." Michelle: "Chief Bwanga!" Valena: "Chief!" Mintai: "Chief Bwanga, you're back. I'm so glad." Bwanga: "I'm relieved that everyone's safe. I'm sorry that I made you worried. The air outside the Nightmare is so fresh! I couldn't be here if it weren't for you, Dungeon Fighter. I thank you as the leader of the Bantus." Valena: "Chief, enough talking. You need food. Your face is haggard!" Bwanga: "Hah hah, sure, I haven't had your food for a long time, Valena. Come with me, Dungeon Fighter."

Bwanga's Story

Level	50
Quest Giver	Bwanga
Briefing	Bwanga: "Valena is a good cook. Now that I've had my fill, I'll tell you what I experienced. ...Aganzo and I entered the Nightmare together, but got separated while fighting a wave of monsters. We couldn't see each other clearly in the thick fog. I didn't know where I was, but I kept hearing screams. I'm still not sure if they were byproducts of the Nightmare or a premonition about the future. I didn't know how long I walked. Suddenly I found myself in the familiar surroundings. Maybe my mind guided me to the snowy mountain. I was looking at the scenery when you found me." <Player>: "Then, do you not remember confronting me?" Bwanga: "Confronting you? Do you mean I fought you? I don't remember that." Michelle: "That means the Bwanga I met was just an image conjured up by the Foundation of the Nightmare. It must have drawn that image out of our memories. I'm glad it wasn't you, but I'm angry that the Foundation of the Nightmare manipulated our minds. I'm also anxious." Bwanga: "I told you everything I remember. You look like you're good at navigating in the Nightmare. Good. Oh, you should go to Mintai. She said she wanted to see a dream."
Objectives	Meet Mintai.
Upon Completion	Mintai: "Whew, I just watched the dream and came out."
Rewards	6,881 Exp 334 Gold

A Song from Her Dreams

Level	50
Quest Giver	Mintai
Briefing	Mintai: "I was thinking about the Chief's and your stories when Bainti called me. She's a friend I've met in my dreams. I just dreamed of someone singing a sad song. Her voice is as beautiful as ever. This time I was able to remember the lyrics: 'Your voice in my dream. It's being erased from my mind. Many voices followed you. I can hear them no more.' I don't know what they mean, but they have something to do with the Nightmare that swallowed Bwanga and Aganzo."
Objectives	Relay Mintai's story to Michelle.
Upon Completion	Michelle: "Mintai said that... I don't understand it."
Rewards	6,881 Exp 334 Gold

Break the Spirits of the Monsters

Level	50
Quest Giver	Bwanga
Briefing	Bwanga: "Outside the Nightmare I felt the monsters we sealed stirring. We were only able to seal them away because they're too weak from gaining so much power from the Great Metastasis. I don't think we can stop them if they decide to wake up in unison. In the Nightmare, monsters share their memories. Please go show them what you're capable of and break their spirits."
Objectives	Clear Black Mount Thunderime on Hard difficulty level.
Upon Completion	Bwanga: "Good job. No one can resist such a great power."
Rewards	206,445 Exp 5,022 Gold

Quake

Level	50
Quest Giver	Michelle Monohan
Briefing	Michelle: "I want to learn the meaning of the song, but I have a more pressing matter at hand. I've felt an earthquake coming from the Nightmare. We need to check if something happened in there. I'll keep an eye on the movement of the Nightmare. Would you go and check the inside?"
Objectives	Find the cause of the violent quake in Prophetic Dream. (You can only go on this quest alone.) Find the source of the great power: 0/1
Dungeon Dialogue	*Upon entering the boss room* Siran: "Are you out of your damn mind?!" Zanbato Aganzo: "..." Siran: "I expected you to say hello, and you started swinging your sword at me. You're never the same since then, but I didn't know you were brain dead!" Zanbato Aganzo: "...You're as talkative as ever." Siran: "WHAT DID YOU SAY? ...Oops, I didn't know we're not alone here. Hmph, let's not do this. You've got nothing to gain from fighting me, anyway." Zanbato Aganzo: "..." <Player>: "Sir Aganzo!" Siran: "Did you come to find him? Stay away for now. He's about to explode. If you're not confident of your fighting skills, you'd better let him cool down first."
Upon Completion	Michelle: "Have you seen Aganzo?!"
Rewards	206,445 Exp 5,022 Gold

Words from the Nightmare

Level	50
Quest Giver	Michelle Monohan
Briefing	Michelle: "After you entered the Nightmare, the earthquake continued for a while, then came to a dead stop. You confronted a swordsman. Not many swordsman in Arad can stand ground against Aganzo. How did he look like?" <Player>: "He was a young man using a katana. His hair was this long, and he had a thick Suju accent. They seemed to know each other." Bwanga: "Siran." <Player>: "I knew it! But he looked too young." Bwanga: "You could have met a younger Siran manifested from the memories of the monsters. What's important is that we've found an Aganzo. We won't know if he's the Aganzo we've been looking for or just an image of him conjured up by the Nightmare. We'll have to follow him to know for sure." Michelle: "Do you think he's the Aganzo we've been looking for? We'd better catch him before he goes out of our reach."
Objectives	Enter Black Mount Thunderime on Hard difficulty level and find Aganzo. (You can only go on this quest alone.) Search the Nightmare: 0/1
Dungeon Dialogue	*Upon encountering the Foundation of the Nightmare* Foundation of the Nightmare: "..." Michelle: "I came because I felt the Foundation of the Nightmare. He blocked the path to Sir Aganzo." *The Foundation of Nightmare leaves* "Something doesn't feel right. What's going on?"
Upon Completion	Michelle: "It'll be over soon. What does he mean by that?"
Rewards	275,260 Exp 6,696 Gold
Notes	The dungeon is shortened. Caution: Every room is filled with ice crystal generators on the ground. Michelle will destroy and absorb nearby ice and heal the player. Defeat the Foundation Seed in each room to quickly eliminate the other enemies and turn off the ice crystal generators. Michelle's aura circle grants buffs to allies. Michelle's Lasher skill grants either stealth and/or bonus casting/attack/movement speed. Although, Michelle is technically your ally, she can be hit by your attacks and skills. Plan your attacks and skills accordingly.
