Endless Nightmare

Level	52
Quest Giver	Bwanga

Would you check if what she thinks is true?"

Dungeon Dialogue	*Upon entering the Boss Room* Knight Robato: "...the time is not yet ripe." Empress Skardi: "Truth be told I agree...

Not only we the people of Bel Myre..."

Conversation from Somewhere

Level	52
Quest Giver	Michelle Monohan
Briefing	Empress Skardi: "...This is grave. This situation... even if they secure... the identity of the key figure remains secret..." Michelle: "<Player>, you've got to get out.

The Worst Is Over, But...

Level	52
Quest Giver	Michelle Monohan

And there's something I think I know, yet can't remember... Would you explore the Nightmare once again? If what I'm thinking is right, then you'll be able to find some clues."
Objectives	Clear Endless Nightmare on Medium or higher difficulty level.
Upon Completion	Michelle: "Thank you. You went in there and made our rescuing attempt easier."

Sad Singing Voice

Level	52
Quest Giver	Michelle Monohan
Briefing	Michelle: "I've noticed something strange about that Nightmare. It's different form the others I've seen, and I want to know what makes it different. Maybe the sad song Mintai has been listening has something to do with it. I'll stay outside, protecting you against the maddening effects of the Nightmare. Would you check inside?

Objectives	Enter Prophetic Dream and find a peculiarity. (You can only go on this quest along.)
Dungeon Dialogue	*Upon entering the Boss Room* Michelle the Telekinetic: "..." Michelle: "*Shriek* L-look at them!" Michelle the Telekinetic: "We didn't expect to get helped.

Upon Completion	Michelle: "Oh, no... How...?" Michelle the Telekinetic: "Who are you? You're looking from the outside in..." Michelle: "I-I..."

Michelle the Telekinetic

Level	52
Quest Giver	Michelle Monohan
Briefing	Michelle: "...It'd be a lie if I said I didn't blame the world. The world was beautiful, but it was cold to us. Every cypher dealt with maltreatment and discrimination at one time or another. To others, we weren't humans. I was even told we were cursed sinners. I knew nothing but hatred and sadness until the Great Metastasis broke out. I know this sounds wrong, but the Great Metastasis changed everything for the better. I helped some people out on a whim, and those who hated and feared me cheered. I was confused at first, but it didn't stop. People kept cheering and thanking us for the help we provided. I laughed for the first time in my life. I've met Aganzo and Bwanga around the same time. I couldn't care less about what was happening to the world or the Nightmare. I just wanted to prove my ability and get respect that was long overdue... B-but I've never wanted to kill someone in cold blood. I swear!" <Player>: "I understand. I know you're not like that, Michelle." Michelle: "*Sob* I-*I'm sorry... I-I don't want to cry... *Sob*" Mintai: "Dungeon Fighter, let's give Michelle some time. Chief Bwanga wants to see you, by the way."
Objectives	Go to Bwanga.
Upon Completion	Bwanga: "You came. I've received an urgent message."
Rewards	7,743 Exp 356 Gold

Liberate His Subconscious from the Nightmares

Level	52
Quest Giver	Bwanga
Briefing	Bwanga: "GBL has sent me a message. Some of its members are ailing from high fever and its cause is unidentified. The outbreak of the fever matches the time you met GBL in the Nightmare. You have a close relation ship with GBL. You should go relieve those who are still conscious."
Objectives	Enter Endless Nightmare on Medium or higher difficulty level. Collect the Boss monster's Awareness and free it. (The higher the difficulty level, the higher the Quest item drop rate.) Leader's Consciousness: 0/1

Rewards	232,311 Exp 5,346 Gold Warrior's Cry Potion x3

Signaling Aganzo

Level	52
Quest Giver	Bwanga
Briefing	Bwanga: "The situation is escalating. We must stabilize the quaking Nightmare. Do you remember the letter Aganzo gave you? It's time to send the signal to prepare a concerted attack. Collect Nightmare Cores from monsters in the Nightmare. You're familiar with the Foundation of the Nightmare, so you should be able to recognize the Cores easily. Bring those Cores. Bring those Cores to the likeness of my younger brother. He'll take care of the rest."
Objectives	Collect Nightmare cores from the Named/Boss monsters in Endless Nightmare on Medium or a higher level. Bring them to Orca in Storm Pass. Nightmare Core: 0/20
Upon Completion	Orca: "You must be the Dungeon Fighter that Aganzo mentioned. This is a strange object."
Rewards	232,311 Exp 5,346 Gold

Orca's Cooperation

Level	52
Quest Giver	Orca
Briefing	Orca: "You and Aganzo have caused quite a stir in this place. You're lucky you're friends of my brother, or I would've done something nasty to you. I was told to burn these with leaves of a sacred tree in a steep mountain. I can't see how this would benefit my brother, but I'll do it."
Objectives	Relay Orca's story to Bwanga.
Upon Completion	Bwanga: "Aganzo traveled around the world, studying different schools or sorcery and shamanism that I'd never heard of before. Why? You'll have to ask that to Aganzo. It's his own sad story to tell. I just hope Aganzo's strategy will work. As helpless as it may sound, that's the only hope we have."
Rewards	7,743 Exp 356 Gold

To the Nightmare

Level	52
Quest Giver	Bwanga
Briefing	Bwanga: "Michelle and Mintai are keeping a watchful eye on the Nightmare. Aganzo... Um? ...This place wasn't so dangerous when we first sealed the monsters, but then strange monsters started crawling from the bottom. I didn't want to tell you this lest I'd only end up burdening you, but those monsters are growing more numerous. I don't know whether or not we can seal them. Well, don't worry about them. I'm sure I hold them off. You go check those two. It's time to show those monsters what I'm capable of."
Objectives	Talk to Michelle.
Upon Completion	Michelle: "I'm sensing strong waves of power in the Nightmare... They're Aganzo's signals!"
Rewards	7,743 Exp 356 Gold

Nightmare

Level	52
Quest Giver	Michelle Monohan
Briefing	Michelle: "Aganzo told us where the Foundation of Nightmare is hiding. We can just follow this wave. Ah, of course, I'll understand if you're not comfortable following me..." <Player>: "What are you talking about? Let's go Michelle. We don't have time." Michelle: "Oh, of course. ...Thank you."
Objectives	Follow Michelle to Endless Nightmare and eliminate the Foundation of the Nightmare on Hard level. (You can only go on this quest alone.) Foundation of the Nightmare: 0/1
Dungeon Dialogue	*Upon defeating the Foundation of the Nightmare* Foundation of the Nightmare: "Strangers, what do you want? You know nothing yet." Michelle: "Oh...?! I'm sensing the Foundation of the Nightmare moving away from us!"
Upon Completion	Michelle: "... ... I'm not sensing anything. The tremor I've been feeling in the Nightmare has stopped." Zanbato Aganzo: "So have the sealed monsters." Michelle: "Aganzo, when did you come back?" Zanbato Aganzo: "Just before you arrived." Michelle: "Aganzo, were you able to escape from the Nightmare on your own?" Zanbato Aganzo: "It didn't seem to be possible at first, but I didn't stop looking around. And it helped that you caused a stir in there." Bwanga: "Hm, I'm glad everyone's safe. I guess things are settled for now. Everyone, we've put a stop to the nightmares of the monsters! Let's celebrate!"
Rewards	309,748 Exp 7,128 Gold
Notes	The dungeon is shortened. Caution: Rooms are filled with Corrupt Ghosts and pots filled with Shackled Ghosts. The ghosts inflict heavy multiple damage hits and hitstun to all nearby targets they touch. Michelle will show contents of nearby pots and stun nearby monsters. The Foundation Seed is hiding in one of the many pots in the room. Defeat the Foundation Seed in each room to quickly eliminate the other enemies. Note: This will not eliminate monsters still present in the pots. Michelle's aura 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.

Dubious Solution

Level	52
Quest Giver	Bwanga
Briefing	Bwanga: "I'm sorry that I pulled you out from the banquet, but I need you to check the situation in the Nightmare right now. Things have been so unpredictable that I can't keep worrying about its stability. My tribesmen need me to be close, and Aganzo left for bed already. You're the only one available to check the Nightmare. Take one for the team, will you?"
Objectives	Clear Endless Nightmare on Hard difficulty level.
Upon Completion	Bwanga: "You didn't notice anything out of place. Good. Sometimes the tinniest clue solves the whole case. I hope this is one of those cases. What happens to the dwellers of the Nightmare, you asked? Well, I'll have to thank about that. You've done enough. Just leave the rest to me. I'll take care of them. I guess it's over now. A dead brother helped a living brother. Um? Nothing. You should go rest now."
Rewards	263,285 Exp 3,920 Gold

Remaining Suspicion

Level	52
Quest Giver	Michelle Monohan
Briefing	Michelle: "<Player>, Aganzo wanted to see you. And... Thank you for being such a good friend to me. It's a dangerous world, but I'll feel safe, knowing you're out there. Be safe, all right?"
Objectives	Go to Aganzo.
Upon Completion	Zanbato Aganzo: "You came. ...This may not sound like me, but I have to do this because Bwanga can't. The nightmares and those mysterious entities may have been banished, but we still don't know much about them, and the suffering they caused us shouldn't be forgotten. At least you shouldn't forget, even if everyone else in this place does. That's all. Do you have anything to say to me?" <Player>: No. We went through many things together in the Nightmare, and I was glad to see you again outside it. I'd better go now." Zanbato Aganzo: "Um? Oh, are you the messenger? I don't remember seeing you in the Nightmare. In fact, this is the first time I've seen you since we met a long time ago. Ah, that's not important."
